The most annoying "GT Wishes" ever - Hall of Fame

[AOS-]

more of w/e models are already flooding the car database (i.e skylines, rx-7's, lancers, imprezas, etc)

car customization, custom paint and bodykits - I'm sick and tired of NFSU games and successors of it, the body kits looks like crap and they aren't relevant to the fact GT is for Racing Enthuisiasts and Purists rather than Wannabe Ricers.

nothing else really,
reverse lamps, 3d people, realtime daylight anything that makes the game feel extremely real..

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

There's a lot of MX-5s, that personally I could do without as they all look exactly the same and produce equally weak power.

Annoying wish? Let's try the car wishlist, pretty much every single car in existence is on there, even crappy cars that no one would use- ever. Why bother saying a car for the wishlist if you don't actually want it there? That is an annoying wish to me.

^ Do I have to repeat myself again:

^ 'Unknown half-baked cars' in GT is what makes the game separate from any other racing or should I say driving game. Most people don't know about Pagani, ASL, Tommy Kaira, Cizeta ,Alpine and other special marques until PD brings them to life in GT.

You misunderstand me, I know it's a driving game and I'd hate it just a little if all it had was high performance sports and race cars, but some cars are simply not fun, especially cars you can't really use like the Jay Leno Tank car, how many times did you get that out in GT4 and just go for a drive? A Hyundai Getz? There's even more than one model of it, just take the better one of 'em, just one of 'em and maybe then. Performance cars are the ones that should have multiple models included like Skylines, Corvettes and M3s. Slow little cheap cars that were never meant to be driven past the highway speed limit should either be left out or only have the better/most popluar model included.

^ If GT would just offer Hi-Po, super expensive, and exotic cars, it will be a result of a less exciting game.

-> Perhaps you like PGR, TD:U, and some earlier NFS series. Because these games feature strictly the cars that you would like to consider, and basically although with its exotic car choices, it not particularly as fun as what GT and EPR offers. Heck even Forza is shedding its 'diverse' car selection as sequels goes on.

-> You may not like GT's car selection of 'lesser' cars, but to point that only GT respects these type of cars, in which they are already on where they are at right now. And thats what makes it a truly great series.

-> Plus some of us here in GTP likes driving slow cars than those cars that hit the 7-minutes at Nurburgring.

 

[Dragonistic]

What about someone who OWNS a car which is bottom of the range in real life, and wants to drive it in GT round the track?

How can that be done if you're forced into having the top version or none at all?

 

[Wolfe]

Exactly. Ever since the first Gran Turismo, the series has been about going beyond the predictable selection of performance machines and offering cars that the everyday person might actually own.

I think it's safe to assume most people like that aspect -- I would be surprised if someone who owned a car from GT4's selection didn't own it and drive it in the game.

 

[Dragonistic]

Yea, my friend wanted me to try a Jaguar S type cus thats what my stepdad has ( i dont have my own car yet ) But in GT4 we only had the S type R top model.

Now thats a not a great example as its not a main stream car and i didnt expect the other models in, but its the same theory.

You all still misunderstand, you know, I think I'll just stay away from GT5 forums the best I can until the full version is released. Can't talk to you guys, you simply don't listen.

 

[buickgnx88]

No we don't misunderstand you. You are either wondering why people want slow cars or why people want cars that no one has ever heard of. Both can be answered with 5 words: because they can be fun. Take for example the Ford Festiva. It's a pretty boring little car in real life, but it would be fun in a video game because no other game has one in it! Just like some of the obscure cars.

Edit: Or if you are wondering why have alot of the same car, it's because most of the time they have differences such as design and performance. Of course I can see how some of the cars would be/are bad to have as multiple models.

 

[Fender_X]

i reckon that drag racing would be cool

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

My point is they put in too many dodgy cars when they could have used space to put in better cars. At the moment I wouldn't be surprised if slow cars under 100kw outnumber anything better 10:1 No matter how much space the PS3s have there's always going to be a limit and that space should be used wisely.

^ I really don't get what your getting us into, actually, there are threads about hating these 'type' of cars. You might as well post at one of these threads, if you like to go deeper into the situation. Take your pick buddy!

Thread #1

Thread #2

Thread #3

And most importantly...you might like to hang around here!

 

[buickgnx88]

What qualifies as a "better car"? On the same note, what qualifies as a "dodgy car"? I for one am tired of seeing the same old cars in every single game. Who needs another Ferrari 360 or Lamborghini Murceilago? I'd much rather have a slow Kei Car than a super fast Enzo.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

^ I'd like to have a Peel P50 'round the Motor Sports Land circuit from GT2. Forget the usual Pagani Zonda R on Isle of Mans.

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

Alright, if I was a game creator I'd make a game with 2000 cars in it each one less than 100kw of power, then I'd make another game with 2000 cars in it with a mix of fast and slow cars. Which one would you buy?

 

[Gashlycrumb]

What is the power to weight of the 100kw cars? You seem to be of the opinion that power solves everything. I can maybe understand that if you are only used to driving around in bloated VN Commodores with soggy suspension, but there is more to a fast car than just power. I would rather drive a well balanced lower powered car than an overweight, over powered soggy block. So to answer your question, if your less than 100KW game was filled with Lotus Elans and their ilk then I would take that one. Thank you.

 

[Wolfe]

I would take whichever one was more fun to play. If they were identical in that respect, I would take whichever one had more cars that I like (which doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how powerful they are).

 

[buickgnx88]

Just wondering, could you give us some examples of 'better' cars they could put in instead of the 'dodgy' cars?

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

Alright, in a perfect world (no licensing issues) the better cars might be Lambourghinis, Porshes, Subaru SVXs, Lexus SC400s, Panteras, AMC cars, Lincolns, Bentley road cars (you could have real fun taking the heavyweight Continental GT and turning into a lighter more aggressive version), and much more. The slower cars includes things like Astras, Kei cars, yes Lotus Elans (but I like this car and is very tunable I know), Ford Lasers, Nissan Tiidas, Toyota Camrys, Toyota Prius', VW Up!, and anything along those lines. Now, I'm by no means saying that slow cars shouldn't be in game- of course they should. But every disc has a limited space, and instead of putting in every car available in the world, people should only request what should really, when you think about it, be in the game.
Seeing as I know Holdens reasonably well, here's what Holdens should probably be in a game (not including HSVs)

Holden
Holden FJ (the first Holden ever- yes it's slow)
HK Monaro (the first Monaro)
Holden Torana A9X/ Holden Torana SL/R 5000 (either or here, the best Toranas ever, only need one though)
Holden Monaro CV8Z
Holden Commodore VE SS


That's it really, they're some of Holden's most important cars in history, you could put in other older Commodores but why, you only need the late one there and the older ones would only be special to people in Australia, not the whole world. Yet on the wishlist, I see every single V8 Commodore ever made, and at least one version of almost every Holden ever made, rediculous. See yet what I'm trying to say?

Irony: The modern Camry would be faster than most AMC cars, most Lincolns, and definitely the SVX. Come to think of it, a modern Astra's probably too. You have a really strange collection of "better cars". Though, I do miss the SVX. And we've already got the SC400.

While I still think the internet automotive encyclopedia... er, sorry, GT5 car wishlist, is a stupid idea, I will agree with one thing; GT is about diversity. Does it mean having every trim level in the game, despite there being no significant change? No. But an example or two of each vehicle a particular brand offers seems reasonable. A cooking Astra and a VXR, for instance. I'm inclined to allow more examples of more pure sports cars though (I own every possible version of the RX-7 in GT4 simpy because of this).

The people that scourge the net for some rendering of a single person's "new supercar", so they can hope it goes in GT5? Yeah, still hilarious.

 

[amar212]

OMG, this thread went into "carwish debate".

Baby Jesus cries, period.

Stop that nonsence now - this is about most annoying wishes, and I can tell you that Carwish Debate is now officialy on the 2nd place, right after working reverse lights.

I recon the "The most annoying "GT Wishes" ever - Hall of Fame" thread is the most annoying thread on the whole site.I mean how bored must the guy who started it been....geez? Couldnt we just have a poll on it or sumthing????

No one is forcing you to read or even participate in it if you don't want to

 

[unv412]

consider me unforcibly not reading this post anymore! BORING

 

[RACECAR]

Getting back to the main point of this thread, I've just thought up more wishes that are either annoying or absolutely serve no purpose:

Rims: I'm not reffering to wheels like OZ racing or Speedline or BBS, I'm talking about pointless crap like Giovani Rims or Spinners. What purpose do these wheels serve? This is not Midnight Club or the dead horse that is NFS, this is GT.

Grass/sandtrap: WTF!? Who the hell pays attention to the the grass or Sandtrap when you supposed to pay attention to the road and/or car ahead of you. I've heard stuff like "the grass looks fake" or "a car doesn't do that when its in the sand trap" Who cares? It slows you down if you drive like an idiot so its true to life in that since and therefore makes no sense to even think about it.

Track Editor: At first I was for this idea, but its gotten out of hand. How about you just suck it up and drive on the tracks that are there for you to start with. What do you think this is, RFactor?

Cars on the wishlist: Unlike some of you, I'm not reffering to the fact that every car is on there, I 'm talking about cars that actually are unless on GT. I understand slow cars even a Hyundai getz, but WTF a Assault vehicle? This is a driving game, not a shooter! You want assault vehicles, I recommend the following games:

Warhawk
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Halo 3

You won't find Any assault vehicles on GT. To quote an genious line "go sell crazy somewhere else, We're all stocked up here"

And finally a question for one user here: Why not Stock cars(as they are properly called) on a GT game? They certainly meet the criteria a hell of alot better then an assault vehicle, Its adds a bit more diversity to GT's already impressively diverse folder, and what else are you gonna race on the Daytona oval, Mini coopers? Just asking.

when i saw the daytona circuit in a demo video i thought theyd have stock cars. I am pretty sure every GT has a new car class added heck ill list it
GT1 none as it is the first.
GT2 drag cars
GT3 Formula Gran Turismo
GT4 modern day lemans prototypes like the R8 and pescarollos.
so then GT5 should have stock cars or something else to cope with daytona.



off topic:
GT5P JUST GOT HERE OMG!!!!
sorry but it is so AWSOME!!!!
update is a killer though as it has been updating for like 15mins with about 10% done.

Indeed they have although to be a bit more accurate:

GT1: GT
GT2: GTP, DTM, JGTC, Rally, Drag
GT3: V8 Supercar, Group C
GT4: LMP, BTC

But yeah, definately agree with you.

 

[wrcsti]

also they each had a "special" type of track, i cant recall on GT2 besides the rally tracks but on GT3 there were the rain events and gt4 i guess either gymkhana or 24h races.

My opinion was of what I considered to be an annoying wish, and you didn't understand so I had to explain, not my fault.

 

[dylansan]

Why make PD make those tough decisions when they can let us. Yes disks have limited space, but there's a whole lot of space. They're not going to run out.
Some people want to drive those cars. Sorry, PD is going to put as many cars in the game as they can, regardless of your opinion.
