The 'Gran Turismo Resorts'

[Dave A]

A Civic center has nothing to do with a Honda Civic. Theres a Civic center not too far from where I live and it's a combination of a shopping center and a buiness park. I don't know how different other Civic centers are but others I know about all have shopping centers in them.

Never heard of those.. Probably because im up in Canada eh! I would of thought a civic center is for Hondas..

I don't know that KY is reffering to this type of Civic center though because if he is I wonder how he's heared about them, and what they would be used for, we already have car shops, tuning shops and a flea market. But I don't know of any other type of Civic center, it might be something you'll find in Japan.

 

[usernamed]

yeah they might have these centers in Japan too

Holy ****. Flea Market?! Museum?! Parking?! Bank of GT?! Wowa...

As a side note, the Honda Civic reference to the "Civic Center" was a joke. I wasn't serious.

But when it comes down to the bank thing, the one thing that would p*ss me off is if I screw up a bunch of races after taking out a loan, and I'm supposed to pay off the bank loan before my ass goes broke. I think the best case of paying off the bank was in the Bullfrog game "Theme Hospital." It's very tricky to take out $5,000 to get stuff for your hospital. But then, you'd have to get enough money to pay off the bank before all the wages come up each month in the game. So if you took out a loan and you have $11,000 in your bank balance and took out only one loan, you'd have to pay off only the $5,000 you've earned, so you'll be left with $6,000. Then, you wouldn't be charged unless you take out more money.

I just hope that this "Bank of GT" deal doesn't come an economics lesson. "Theme Hospital" had about the best system that I've played around with. Question is, can you make enough money to pay it off? And another thing about the loan in "Theme Hospital," you have no limit to pay off the loan. Just earn the money, and pay them off. But a bank would be interesting.

"Civic Center" maybe a place where event requirements,rules,vehicle eledgability-things like that are stated.

Nah, I think it's just a place where you get to throw rocks at riced out Honda Civics with Spoon dipsticks.

Nice little minigame.

I can see that being fun as hell... Just like in South Park.

As I said, while it is fun to envision many more modes for GT4. It should be great fun to do racing, but also have some fun outside of GT4.

But back to my first post. Can you envision Polyphony Digital purchasing vacation land (presumably in Japan, since you want to be close by if you are PD), making it a GT playland? That means, all the GT games (including Concept), a GT museum with its own historic cars, online play inside with plenty of tournaments (so you don't have to worry about paying for home use), and all that stuff? I'll tell you what. If the "Gran Turismo Resorts" were what I thought it would be, I'd want to visit Japan even more!

Like to see expedia try to get their hands on air fare and hotel for THESE resorts...

Just what do you do for a living?

I'd rather they hold a tournament online and the winner gets to go race a car around Nardo or the Nordschleife myself, but a GT World wouldn't be a bad place to visit.

What do I do for a living? Good question. I just have a childish imagination and willingly will use it on GTPlanet. So be warned.
