Tablets(and Android Smartphone sideloads and Bluestacks on PC&Mac)Only, How Does That Make You Feel?

I can do that too since I have android, I also like to see and try out what other people make since I'm not very good at creating good tracks.

I'm guessing the tablet capability is all about item placement and screen size.
On today's smartphones all the UI would be cramped.

That's absolutely worthless. Utter garbage.

Bit of an overreaction to being able to share a track on a game, no?

You want to make your own track, not race somebody else's.

In your opinion.

Other people's stuff is always garbage compared to your own

In your opinion.

even if it isn't; you know you always have the most fun on your tracks.

In your opinion.

I think you need to relax a bit.

There's little reason as to why it should be exclusive to tablet. I expect it to also be available on PS3.

I have two tablets so this doesn't bother me.

I thought you stopped playing GT...

Doing a little compairison here, but when Battlefield 4 was released, they had this commander mode, which pretty much just allowed you to interact with players that were currently playing the game on a console/PC, whilst you were on a tablet. DICE advertised the crud out of the app, but the same basic mode was offered on the platform of the actual game as well, almost like another game mode.

I can't imagine that course maker would be for tablets and tablets only. One would think they would have some sort of feature added to the game itself. Just take a look at the main menu on GT6. They could easily fit another mode icon, say where the GT Acadamy mode was located.

I pray that I'm right with this, or else, PD really has become horrible with marketing.

This is true but this looks good enough for me to start playing again.

You can get a tablet for less than £40. It is also possible to run android apps on a PC within Chrome.

It's not the end of the world.

Wow.. What a blind comment. Not all computers have GPS. And why would you bring your computer on a roadtrip just to make a track anyway?

 

[heingericke]

Yet your title (which will be seen first before the OP) Just reads "Tablets Only, How Does That Make You Feel?" Some confusion considering the unconfirmed nature of this news can be quelled if your Thread tile matches your OP.

OP should work for Fox News.

 

[The Chosen One]

I don't get this strange community.

You didn't like when there wasn't a course creator,
and now you don't like when there is a course creator.

 

[syntex123]

Well it should be for all users, not only for some. Is that too much to ask for? Nah, I don't think so..

 

[Quakebass]

Read my post above. Everyone who really wants to and has a PC made in the last 3-5 years should be able to use it, even if it's tablet exclusive. Android emulation isn't too difficult to set up.

Android - but what about iOS?

 

[acascianelli]

Don't care, already have an iPad.

 

[syntex123]

Good for you @acascianelli

Fffffffuuuu why don't they support iPhone 6 Plus at the very least.

 

[MarkR420]

You guys realize that you can download apps that are for tablets on an iPhone and vice versa.

 

[FAF Drifter34]

Would it work if we have like the new Samsung galaxy 6, or the new Samsung Note. I mean it is a advanced phone. But I'm in the same boat. No tablet, but we can rely on the community feature which is always cool. Can't wait to take photos on it

The thing is, one of the big draws of console gaming over pc gaming is its plug and play nature. Stuff just works, no fluffing around with drivers and settings and compatibility.

If this feature requires someone to dive into emulating Android on another system just to use it, that's a big step back. That shouldn't be necessary, especially not for what was a flagship feature, at least to start with.

Really? How? It says here it is only available on iPad. Not iPhone.

 

[acedition333]

Just go to your local store check out a tablet(for me it would be Best Buy....they got free WiFi), download the APP,sign in PSN, create track, tell guy at "best buy" I'm just checking it out, save track, and then say "I'll be back tomorrow!" (lol)


I've left a few tablets on the GTplant website for people to see!

 

[MarkR420]

As you can see all of the iPad only apps show up as apps for the iPhone.

 

[ELmarcotuff]

all i hope for is some rallycross tracks, and some japanese mountain roads.

Why would you need iOS emulation for the course maker app, if it works with Android?

While I agree with you, if it's really not running from inside the game, I guess there's a reason for that.
Maybe the PS3's RAM just isn't enough. Also, installing a virtual Android device on your PC is easy.
Andy OS for example comes with everything needed, you install it, launch it and log in with your Google account, done (okay, you might need to enable an option in the BIOS, but that's done in 2 minutes).

This will also make it possible to work with a mouse and on your PC monitor, which even beats having to fiddle with a gamepad.

 

[Pootis]

As I posted in the other thread, BlueStacks or Andy OS got you covered on PC.

At least there's that.

Nice to see that Course Maker is finally coming.

 

[Bobert power]

I have a tablet! Oh wait, it's the first gen iPad still on iOS 5.

 

[MockngBrd]

why tablet and no desktop app

 

[Biller]

 

[ironman44321]

Eeehh...I have an Ipad, and a smartphone, and you can just run android apps in chrome. My guess is that trying to run the course maker in game was causing it to crash, so I'll take this over nothing any day.

 

[NeilSean]

It's a shame it's not available for my Android phone and tablet for whatever reason, GG PD.

They mention in the GTP article that it may take a little bit for the app stores to update everywhere. That's sort of out of PDs control.
