Should PD Drop "The Real Driving Simulator" Slogan For The Next GT Game?

[eran0004]

Why are you posting that? It's old news. We know three claims were dismissed. It's the forth one that hasn't and is still ongoing.

It has nothing to do with that. Read it again:

the court can confirm that the games seek to provide a realistic simulation of European car racing, including by allowing players to drive on realistic simulations of European race tracks

If PD choose to go back to their roots and make a single player game with an adjustable level of challenge (GT3) and at least a couple different choices in career path (FIA GT series, NASCAR, Drag racing, Formula Drift/D1gp, F1, and LMP) it would make a good game. Correct the physics issues, and abandon the non-premium cars, and add some sort od penalty for bad driving (realistic damage modeling), and rewards for good driving (clean sector bonuses, clean race bonuses, sponsor challenges/parts, etc.) They would make the best racing game to ever hit any platform.

EDIT: Competitive racing does not a simulator make. Physics and other behind the scenes mechanics, the approach they take to making the chassis, tires, pavement, etc. all work together to give an accurate representation of a car. That is what makes a "simulator." One thing we cannot get from the current generation of racing games/simulators is a level of immersion that strikes fear into your heart when you over accelerate a corner, and genuinely fear for your life. Occulus Rift and Project Morpheus will be a step in the right direction. Without fear, there is no respect. Without respect, there is chaos and degredation.

P.S: when GT1 came out in 1997, there was no competition in sim racing. Just some food for thought.

Kaz, it's "degradation". Sorry I can't help it.

Neither is mine, fair enough though.

 

[Toysuprahot]

There should have been an other third option among the "drop it" or "keep it"..
Bring it back!

 

[georgetigra]

What question is this?
Yes .
This slogan belongs to PD ...
Don't forget that
PD show the way for all console sim racing games who play today...
A Special slogan for a special game..

The Thing is, it has kind-of lost it's special sense of fun over the years especially with the crippled GT6 right now

Gran turismo continue to be to feel Gran turismo!
the driving (on wheel) maybe is not the best sim
but have this spesial sense when you driving..
this feel you cant find it in the others sims exept LFS...
and thanks to god continue to have all those old* car list with mini ,cheap , but spesial cars from some people..
i dont like the standar models but the most like a racing gamer all i want
or the sense of fun to me,
is to drive and race with this spesial feel that PD put on the wheel.
what lost of sense are you talking ??
i ask you something to you and all the members here in GTP that you thing the same about "the lost sense":
if gt7 goin out with a false name and a false company??
how many people (true racing gamers) you belive they dont understan that this is a GT or a GT replica?

 

[Kryption]

I hope they never get rid of the menu sounds when you click an option, and the tacky menu music, without that it's not gran turismo tbh. I get happy when I hear the same blip sound from gt2.

 

[Fat Tyre]

*blip*

 

[TeamCZRRacing]

No. For many reasons, not the least of which is that this is the closest many will ever come to driving these cars.

 

[Kryption]

No. For many reasons, not the least of which is that this is the closest many will ever come to driving these cars.

That's another thing. With gt you can basicly go in the dealership , find rare classic cars that there were only 200 of, and have the chance to drive it in some way. That's rewarding enough when you're a petrol head.

 

[sdkflu]

They should keep the slogan, they should keep the 1200 cars even dont have time to convert from standard to premium, they should keep the soul of the Gran Turismo even if not have the best physics in the world... what i want most is the lot of Arcade options and AI upgrade to exist competition and more the sense of racing for enjoy the offline racing and offline enjoyment and fun in Arcade mode, i don't have all my the time appetite for online races.

 

[Cocomoto]

They sould keep it, for sure.

 

[gt3_racer05]

Yea, drop the slogan. Because keeping PS2 content in a PS4 title makes it so pathetic. I mean, come on..the platform is new...get rid all of those crap and move onto PS3/PS4 content. Either that, or rebuild everything. Since GT7 is the first GT title on PS4, quantity shouldn't be the main focus.

 

[Turbo]

Yea, drop the slogan. Because keeping PS2 content in a PS4 title makes it so pathetic.

Even with the PS2 cars, GT has some of the best physics you can get in a racing game. Don't forget about the 350 Premium quality cars.

 

[JoeH187]

No reason to get rid of anything, update the old cars.

The physics in GT are as good as they get for console racing.

 

[VBR]

It's looking like Gran Turismo 7 might be called Gran Turismo Sport instead...

Only if you believe those silly rumors.

Well what do you know, those "silly rumours" turned out to be true after all.

 

[GTPorsche]

Well what do you know, those "silly rumours" turned out to be true after all.

Yes, the only silly thing at this point is that it took them this long to finally reveal it.

 

[RACECAR]

Hold up now. All we know is that Gran Turismo Sport is a thing for sure, we don't know for sure that it is taking the place of GT7.

 

[FT-1]

From what we know so far, I think it is fair to assume this is a current-gen approach of a Prologue game. But then again, that's not a guarantee.

 

[VBR]

Hold up now. All we know is that Gran Turismo Sport is a thing for sure, we don't know for sure that it is taking the place of GT7.

Good point. However, GT Planet staff seem to think so as all the GT7 threads have been moved to this new GT Sport forum.

 

[RACECAR]

I think its more the case of giving the sub-forum the name of something that is now concrete then anything. GT7 hasn't been made official but Gran Turismo Sport has.

 

[NLxAROSA]

I think it's too early to draw any conclusion just yet. My gut says that Sport=7 though, they just want to make very clear they're taking a different direction compared to 5/6.
