Rewind feature.

[Tornado]

The only way rewind would be possible online would be in qualifying/time trial races (which means it obviously couldn't be used in a situation where there are leaderboards of any kind). Otherwise there is no way that it could be done without one person rewinding the entire field of other players.

 

[TokoTurismo]

I don't mind it as an option during free races (though I'll never use it)

I can see a problem during hotlaps, where much of the required skill at maintaining a fast lap can be negated. It could also lead to rather unfair situations where people simply rewind if they make a mistake.

If others uses rewind, it would penalize thier lap time, like how GT5 does it by having off the track and other ways to be penalize. Even in FM4 which is like GT5 but using rewind would also penalize your lap.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Ok but that would kinda negate the idea, I can't see many people turning that option on.

Oh and the use of the rewind costing a quarter of your car is also silly. How much would you put on people using the restart race option, out of interest?

I think we all know that rewind has certain advantages not available to restart function. We can choose to rewind to any point within the elapsed time of the race, which is beneficial to the player, but if the benefits cannot outweigh the restart ( crashing early ) then just use the restart button - it's free, why not. I can see that rewind will go well with the realistic damage option, maybe 1/10 cost of rewind in a race ? If a car worth 20 million crashed halfway into the race, paying 200 thousand for a rewind seems to be a good deal, or just press restart like usual, it's a freedom of choice.

Did you get that idea from DIRT or something? Imo the rewind feature should be like in FM4, or even like in GRID and DIRT how you replay a part from the race and start again from there. I don't like the idea to be cost for just rewinding a race..

Okay, the cost can be minimized to like 500cr / 1000cr

No. It should be 0cr / 0cr, free. lol.

I see that you want to abuse that rewind button for free

 

[TokoTurismo]

Nah. Because I too don't use the rewind feature, but others do. Why not just make it a bonus if turned off, and not a bonus if turned on?

It can be cost for 50cr, but not up to 500cr/1000cr. That'll annoy the players.

Would you not buy GT6 because of it?

 

[CodeRedR51]

No, no, no, no.


No.

 

[OHM_fusion]

Well, I'd be against it because I think it takes away that racing concentration feeling, knowing that a single mistake can cost you a lot. (of course, first they need to make the racing itself better, but that's another topic). There is no need to push yourself because you simply rewind when you make a mistake. It would make the racing even more boring than it already is in GT.

And for people who want to use it as a method of tackling corners, I think the license tests do that job just fine. Just my opinion of course.

If you're not fast enough to catch the other cars, rewind will never help you win a race. If you're so careless that a crash or loss of control doesn't concern you, rewind probably won't do much either as you'll probably spend more time going backwards than forward, and you could easily end up in a position where rewind won't help unless you basically rewind to the beginning of the race, at which point it's just like restart.

They can't be improved upon? There also is not a license test for every car/corner combination in the game.

It's not about winning, racing (for me) is supposed to be the thrill of catching the leading car, picking the best racing line, keep your position etc. (and GT already fails at this). I don't see a good reason to use rewind in, for example, a race against AI, except for people who get frustrated when they make a mistake and have to restart the race.

Of course they can be improved upon. And I see your point but I honestly don't see the point for rewind except for maybe a free run race where you really want to take a certain corner again and again. It's useless and frankly, stupid for online (and probably impossible to code), and useless in a race against AI (except for people who don't have a lot of patience). So what remains is the tackling corners in free run, but as I said above is this really something people need that much. I haven't seen people do it much before, and you could easily just turn the car around and do that corner again. You just get a few extra seconds you would lose while reversing.

I don't hate it or anything and it won't influence my buying of GT6, I just don't see much point.

 

[diegorborges]

No, no, no, no.


No.

My opinion too.

No. I could say it`s not realistic but then there`s a lot of stuff that isn`t too so my humble opinion is that a rewind feature will make the people get used to it and that will make worse drivers on the game.

Again, my humble opinion and I don`t think I`ll be visiting this thread again because a war will rise on this for sure because some people defend this feature because of what it is and some will defend it just because it exist on "other" games.

 

[Spagetti69]

It's not as cut and dried as those who want and those who do not.

There are those (like myself) who will not use the feature. ( I have it turned off by default in Forza).
Who are happy to have the feature included for those who want it.

Just as some are baffled by those who want it.
Others are baffled as to why the option shouldn't be there.

This really does bare similarity's to the 24 hr enduro save war/thread.

Plus there's not much else to talk about lol.

Really hope they can improve the game going in the right direction before they worry about rewinding it though.

Ok, I lied. I`m here on the thread again. And I share the same opinion as the final part of your post! 👍

There`s A LOT to think before rewind or not rewind.

 

[daus26]

It's the exact same principle but on a different scale.

Well, exactly. It can be a HUGE scale of difference. Say you have an endurance race, or some long 10 plus lap races. That restart button becomes a second thought, where-as a rewind feature have little sacrifice cause it's only one corner versus the whole race. In real life, when you mess up, you either start over or lose the race. In GT, it's how it is now in a race series. You can't restart a race, and risk losing points for it.

I'm fine with rewind feature, but only in practice/free run mode. I want to be able to finish races without having to deal with the feeling of wanting to use it.

Not a strong reason, but that's my take.

 

[Doodle]

I honestly don't care if rewind is in GT6. Even if PD decides to add rewind I wouldn't use it.

 

[otakukid96]

I would love to see it in GT6, and as others have said before, don't have it exist online. Only have it offline in an unlimited amount, but only have it go as far back a limited amount.

Yes I agree they're very different in how they affect your race but my point was that the 'It's Arcade/Not sim' argument doesn't really hold much water when the game already has plenty of options that aren't realistic to the real world, one very similar in principle, adjusting/redoing a race because something went wrong.

 

[Exorcet]

In real life, your only option is lose the race. Restart is in the same bin as rewind.

I fail to see how you could rewind live action anyway.

 

[Watt2159]

to me, rewind is a method people use when they're too lazy to practice.

 

[1241Penguin]

If rewind is implemented, I hope that when watching replays (especially for offline competitions like the WRS), we are informed that rewind is being used.

 

[Jubby]

Rewind would be okay to add to me. Allow multiple options for this feature for those that would not want to use it.

If it were up to me;
It can be turned off in the options so it cannot be used.

It cannot be used in licence tests or special events(if they exist in GT6)

If it is used in A-spec, you lose the XP you earn (if that exists in GT6).

It can be used without bounds in practice, free roam, etc.

No online rewinds, no exceptions. There's enough issues with online racing.

This has illegal amounts of truth in it.👍

 

[HAL20XX]

Rewind was the feature in FM3 that finally got me to ween away from ALL of the nanny devices and switch to manual with clutch. I've never used it in my 200+ hours of FM4.

To me it can be used as a learning tool.

 

[Watt2159]

I just don't think it fits in with GT, I mean, this is a franchise that has always encouraged people to be better at racing, that's why in 1-4, license tests were mandatory, in order to play through the game, and when they didn't include that in GT5, that had me worry that the series was taking a more casual approach to itself, and rewind will be the final nail in the coffin in my opinion.
