Spectators in the stands

[Wolfman2216]

Hello guys, what do you think of the spectators in the stands? the trailers seem to me quite a few ... : (Do you think the GT6 gives to choose the amount of spectators in the stands?

 

[jimipitbull]

I thought about individual spectators each with a separate AI and personality. They cheer more or less depending on their particular mood that day.

 

[Johnnypenso]

I think the spectators have finally given up hope of ever seeing a good race with AI and are sick of the low quality racing online. They are voting with their feet.

 

[mralexf1]

Why would you want AI for the spectators? Don't say it too loud, PD would dedicate resources to that instead to new cars, tracks, etc

 

[jimipitbull]

If spectators had AI, you could ask them yourself.

I personally want better trees... on fire [let's see if anyone knows what thread I'm referring to]

 

[Wolfman2216]

Just...
More spectators= more real

 

[mister dog]

I remember in GT4 when you passed the stands at high speed ring you would hear the crowd cheering, and airhorns going off. In GT5 that was dumbed down but I'd like it to return again on a bigger scale.

 

[Metfanant]

Yes...it always looks dumb racing around and seeing empty stands everywhere

 

[syntex123]

Indeed. And I like how other games make the crowd shout "oh!" and jump away if you smash into the wall and they're standing close.

 

[Gejabo]

Don't care actually.
And personally never had a problem with the trees either.

 

[syntex123]

Never even gave the trees a glance, so I can't say that's an issue for me either. But the spectators is something else entirely, it would be better to get them to cheer like they used to in older GT games. It's like getting the feeling they're cheering for you.

A more dynamic Crowd Emotion Engine (but not the pantomime "WOO!!" and "BOO!!" for good and bad drifting) would be a nice flourish for Gran Turismo

I tought that was fun tough when you totally screwed up your drift, them throwing some "salt in the wounds"

People that stumbled into the living room whilst that happened always had to laugh.

I think you should actually run them over in rally races instead of hitting those invisible walls.

Never

No, not at all.

I back that 100%. Tracks/event>spectators. Make a bump map, apply the texture map on a box and call it a day. For that matter take out B-spec, karting and photomode. Resources that can be replaced by tracks/cars/ events. I think PD is already trying to do too many minor things. I want pure racing. Although GT4 started the add ons, they still presented on heck of a game.

Lol, that will turn GT into a PG-13 game then. I tried hitting them when I first saw them.

 

[Wolfman2216]

what I meant is that depending on whether you are a qualifying practice sessions or races, the number of spectators in the stands would be different

 

[HuskyGT]

I think spectators are a bit unimportant. Yes, they do add some depth to the experience, but I rather have PD working on other things rather than improving cardboard people or 2D trees and animals..

What I hope they do is to shut them up a bit, especially in the Track Editor tracks. I don't know if anyone has noticed but at the Eifel tracks, people are really loud, and they yell in a constant loop that resets itself when you change views. Ugh... it's so annoying.

 

[HarVee]

Honestly, I'd rather them just get rid of the crowd altogether. Those 2D stick figurines are distracting and rather annoying when they cheer. Also, it's quite odd when in practice mode time trial there is a large amount of spectators. I doubt in the real world 200+ people would show up just to watch me drive around a track alone.

 

[opelgt1969]

Why Oh Why would a bunch of "Males" cheer we need some females in the stands for them to get excited about, That's one good reason to go to a race live. Much better in warm weather!

 

[Lawndart]

I remember around gt2-3 Kaz said he wanted to add more people and life to the series... And we still have those little figures... I wonder how long before he realized they all turned to zombies with feet nailed to the bleachers...

 

[CoolColJ]

They look OK in the Suzuka vids we've seen in game expo vids - they look 3D and are animated, but that could be different from track to track

see 0:17 - different from GT5

 

[CommandrCyclops]

I think that's why we haven't seen Midfield since GT4; that place was a ghost town. I believe there's a Wal-Mart on the site now.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

They could boo me when I win a race and give a Vettel finger.
