Sometimes ... I think money ... is a bad thing. Voted though.
It truly is a shame not to have these cars in the game, EA WASTES the license that they do have on the P.O.S. NFS games. They don't even have the stones or the brains to bring out a decent racing simulator. That SHIFT garbage? UGH...even the NFS games are so boring to play.
what a great ideaIF we ever see Porsche come to a future GT title, The PD crew should definitely include the Weissach test track. Lots of fun to play on...
This great piece of history deserve a place in this game...View attachment 102358 View attachment 102357 View attachment 102354 View attachment 102349 View attachment 102353 View attachment 102345 View attachment 102346 View attachment 102347 View attachment 102341
Kaz did say that he wants to bring on Porsche to GT, but for the moment he simply cannot. It's not up to him or PD's team. I'm sure that when Porsche's current deal with EA runs out, they'll be approached
So yeah, let's keep the hopes high for GT7.
I spotted this on le man circuit on the start/finish straight. I think something might happen. After all the Porsche logo is in gt6 so the cars might follow to gt7
PS: Hollande has a clownface even when he's not smiling
It probably is. I am clued up on the story behind the license. The first gt game to feature ruf was gt2. Didn't notice the 911 in there when I last played. Its stupid how ea are the only ones allowed real Porsche but nobody else. Especially if the badge is allowed in :/Unfortunately I think it's in reference to Porsche returning to the Le Mans 24 hour, not gran turismo as Porsche is not nor has been in the series except for rebadged RUF's and (correct if wrong) the accidental implementation of a 911 in one of the first gt's before it was realised in infringement with EA's property license
EA PORSCHE LOOP HOLE:
Friends I believe I might have solved the dilemma of getting Porsche into Gran Tourismo. The EA contract with Porsche only allows Porsche to have their cars in the game NFS and no other racing games unless EA gives a go-ahead to another GAMING company if they ask them (them=EA). However it does not mention that the cars are not aloud to be scanned by a group not related to other games or games in general. Obviously PD flocking around a 917 would immediately raise suspicions with the EA group. That is why I propose PD to FIRE a scanning team and or teams. Then that group would create an "independent" business from PD to scan cars and put them in an "encyclopedia of cars" if you will. Now money becomes an issue as to how this business can start. Obviously checks from PD would be suspicious which is why Porsche should "invest" in this new company to get it on its feet. Eventually Porsche will make a profit but we will get to that later. The independent company could put the cars in a book or online and have exact readings of how the car will perform to "inform the reader". This group would also scan other cars to put in the book just to ease suspicions and help incase of a pending lawsuit. Meanwhile the independent company has all the information necessary to put the car in Gran Tourismo. PD then buys the information that the independent company has acquired which has now been put in a "book" form that other people like you and me can buy. Obviously the name Porsche cannot be used and neither can their logo. PD would need to make a pseudo name for Porsche (Porsch, Porscha, or Portia which is pronounced the same). As for the Porsche logo PD would need to use a reversed design of the logo. This method of reversing an image has been used to pass copyrights numerous times on the internet (watch some F1 videos if you don't believe me). Now once PD has paid the independent company, they have money to pay their investor, Porsche, giving Porsche a profit for doing this. EA can not control all decision that Porsche makes, only one having to do with video games. Now I highly doubt that PD would exercise the amount of time and energy required to pull this off. However I feel that this is the one of the few, if not only, possible way for Porsche (I mean Portia ) to be in Gran Tourismo.
Yeah. As I said I highly doubt that PD or Porsche would use that much time and energy to do such a thing.Very creative but sounds unlikely. Hopefully GT finds some workaround though and soon - or at least models every car RUF has ever made.
It's creative but no. Gemballa is also a German recognized manufacturer.Maybe that's how Rockstar was able to put Gemballa Porsches in Midnight Club 3.
GEMBALLA is more than just a tuner. In 1985, the then fledgling company was awarded its coveted ‘manufacturer’ status by the German Transport Authority, Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA).
What?! You mean Gemballa is really a manufacture?!It's creative but no. Gemballa is also a German recognized manufacturer.
I don't see why not. I think it's just a case of Gemballa not being well known enough.What?! You mean Gemballa is really a manufacture?!
Does that mean Gemballa can be licensed by any gaming company without Porsche or greedy EA?
I don't see why not. I think it's just a case of Gemballa not being well known enough.
Oh I highly doubt they would. What I said was a possible way to get around it. Doesn't mean there won't be a ton of law suits between Porsche, EA, and PD.I'm reasonably certain Porsche wouldn't want people circumventing EA's licence anymore than EA would.
I believe you are missing something...This great piece of history deserve a place in this game...View attachment 102358 View attachment 102357 View attachment 102354 View attachment 102349 View attachment 102353 View attachment 102345 View attachment 102346 View attachment 102347 View attachment 102341
Agree strongly on Your statment Redbaron, all the RUF's that are currerntly in GT should be premium. Aswell as the modern vehicals, I could live with just the BTR or yellowbird premium. If that whair to happen Kaz would be My new god.If not Porsche, then squeeze everything out of RUF license. Every RUF model should be made into premium + get license for Dauer 962C Le Mans racing car to please all those Porsche fans that can't have their beloved cars in GT.
