^^^ their race in the streets of St. Pete was very entertaining this last year. so close to me, but I couldnt hear them. (I was NOT paying to stand on a public sidewalk)
 
--I'd like to see an easier "folder-system" for the garage ..
something like : creating your own subfolders in your garage like "Rally-Cars" "Race-cars" "Classic" "American Muscle" "Drift" ..... because now , in GT4 I only have 100+ cars and sometimes have to search a while before I find the car I want (I know I can sort and stuff but still ..)

--maybe also the possibility to connect your mp3 player so you can play your own music while racing (although I always turn the music off ...)

--also ; cockpit views (as in GTR or so) , this'll probably be a lot of work but would be very cool

--bring back the car information !!!
 
Yeah,that kind of sorting would be great,i have more than 10 truenos and i get lost within my garage.:D
 
I'd like to have a recommendation for car entry into the various races in different leagues. I try to guess, but half the time my car is either far too fast to make it interesting, or entirely outclassed by the other cars in the field. Give us 3 recommendations, such as would make for an easy, moderate, or difficult race.
 
i wonder if PD come and get some ideas here, i mean, some of these ideas are hard but absoloutly fantastic

This problem can be fixed the way they do the Forza races with grades for all the cars you will race.

To be honest, all I want: a clutch.
 
Weee
No one ever says driving during pitting. Seriously autodrive sucks. It takes away the feeling of racing when you just watch the AI do the job. It would work easily, press a button to activate the speed limiter before the pitting line and drive to your spot and again deactivate limiter when leaving the pits.

My responce to this is what is up with the autodrive crashing my cars in to the wall etc. on pit lane exit. With GT5 and damage, yep we better be able to drive in and out of pits or they need a better autodrive, thats for sure. Personally I think autodrive is fine gives you time to make your pit selections. Also the autodrive at start of races occasionally crashes your car. Wonder if on medium size say 15 plus lap races, if a warm-up lap or two behind pace car before green would be better way to start the longer races.
 
My dad had a good idea for this. How about, instead of only taking one car to a track at a time for practice, why not take 3 or 4, so that you don't need to keep going back home? A multiple-car trailer.
 
For GT extremest it would be nice to be able to print out some statistical information on you game progress.

Maybe compile list and print out list of cars in your garage
Print your daily history log if you wanted
Print car bios of cars in your garage
1) small picture 2) simple to detailed stats 3) all parts upgrades
2) maybe even no. of times you washed and changed oil

If GT5 has more car facts like GT2, then let us print those pages out
Print our record stats
Print over-all game stats
By print, mainly mean save as file and upload to PC.
 
I just started to play GT4 again and I WANT BETTER AI!!!! :scared:

Have you ever tried to go alongside an ai car through a corner?? They only see you when you get in front of them! Which makes them slow down stupidly to about 10mph (this is coming out of a corner by the way).

Any other probs with ai that you want to see changed in GT5? Just post a new message and let out your anger....
 
Well....i was playing Enthusia, bought it friday, and I saw that the AI was pretty damn good here! also the gameplay is rediciously realistic.....the only thing that pisses me off is the music and the menu.......but still.....the reaction of the cars are really sick!
 
i recon: damage that gets more expensive to repair as you progress into the game, am optional clutch, more exterior modifications like making your own racing team logo and putting it on all your racing cars, and getting likea stock skyline and putting wide arches and stuff to make it a racer (not bling bling street cars, racers) different garages e.g drift garge road garage etc. better AI and fairer races, e.g tells you the exact cars you will be racing and there spec so you can match a car to it, more cars AND TRCTION CONTROL ON MULTY PLAYER RACING.
 
May be contoversial but:
- All real tracks, lots of them and the old versions (eg. silverstone 60s, 70s, etc)
- Resurrect old tracks like rouen and the nurburgring sudschlife
- If a car is manual in real life you can only use it as a manual in the game, if a car is automatic etc. if its like an m5 where you can switch you decide at the start of the race.
- You can only have traction control / ABS / ESP if the car has it or you buy it for the car.
- scrap b-spec mode and be allowed to save anytime during the race a la Grand Prix 2 on the PC years ago.
- Online Racing
- As cars come on and off the market in the real world they come on and off the market in the game (excludes racing cars and classics)
- Porsche
- Ferrari
- Listen to music on your mp3 while playing by connecting through the uSB port
 
Its quite simple really...Gran Turismo needs more...
More intelligent AI
More ways to reach places (like the race menu) and do things (like tune-up) QUICKER!!
More race variables, ie weather, time, no. of cars, tracks etc.
Perhaps most important for me, more customizable cars, like your own team, much more specific tournament rules...like. It'd be really cool if I could get my own team into the Super GT. What ever happened to race mods???
More cars, especially race cars...SOOO many missing that I was hoping would be in...like more up to date V8 supercars, more FIA cars, more Le Mans 24hr cars, the list goes on.
A PROPER, ONLINE RACING ENABLED SECTION OF THE GAME WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY RACE YOUR OWN CARS (IN THE GAME) AGAINST REAL PEOPLE...ONLINE!!! Say, like an online Le Mans 24hr. That would be so cool. I'd never leave home.
An extreme mode, where you do EVERYTHING. Like line up at the start for the race, warm-up laps, race weekends, the list goes on.
Basically, I reckon Polyphony needs to do more, without losing control of 'the newbies' and keeping things sane for anyone who just wants to pick up and play...Probably and impossible task....but when you think about it, they might have made races longer, and the number of races and cars higher, but whats REALLY changed?? Nothing major as far as I can see and I've been playing since the very beginning of the first Gran Turismo.
 
One thing that is kind of cool on TOC 3 is you can actually see grass or whatever stick to your tires if you go off track, and it makes the tires really super slippery for a few seconds. Going off track and staying hard on throttle is almost not possible in that situation. Much more realistic. GT5 needs this feeling.
 
Yo, Inkel

All of those ideas are good. You practically got everything. Online mode has definitly got to be in it. And yes the AI is stupid. They need to get off their lines and react. More tracks, bring back Rome circuit and bring in all the real world race circuits from F1, FIA, SCCA, Le Mans, WRC, everything. All the original circuits from GT1. Sony's new online service should let you download all these things. Including more cars, bodykits, decals, parts. If they say the PS3 is as powerful as they say it is, it should display these and more. I know alot of yah have probably posted all these things I have written, but I must let it out.


My biggest thang is, 20 cars or more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate racin all by myself. I want a challenge all the way to the last lap to the finish line. More realism, make it harder (and no, I don't have a 100hp advantage or more on the AI. I give them the advantage). Now, I have GTR Fia racing for PC, it feels real and extremely hard. I don't know whats more real though. FIA exagerated real or GT real. Maybe GT, but make it better.
My garage sucks. Everytime I leave in the order I want it, it changes back to how it was. The tabs are pointless and stupid. I don't want to click each tab to look for a car each time. Better interface all around.

Detailed everythang on every car. New exhaust, gotta see it. New hood, gotta see it. I wanna see my new break rotors, pads and tires. Same as damage, gotta see it. But, like Inkil said, if they can't show the damage, do it like GT2, have simulated damage, and like Sega GT 2000, pay for your damage. For the burnout and need for speeders that don't like the sim and damage thing, make an option for them. But, in arcade and gt mode you have to have an option for us hardcore as well so we can have the realism. I love the cars from japan, but I agree must have more cars from worldwide. I need more competition and more cars to collect.
Lots of real manufacturer body kits. We need to let all these racers express themselves. Some of yah talk **** about kits, but really you would want your car to look like your car and nobody elses.

Another big thang, must have customizable online modes. As I wrote earlier about the arcady type and sim type, you should be able to adjust online play for each groups liking. Like all the real rules on a real race. Like comin out of the pit, you must go 60 or 50 and cannot pass the line between the course and pit. No hitting, unless turned off. All yellow, red, green flags must be in play, for the hardcore of course. And, allow to turn off.

Adding on to multiplayer, the 2 player mode in GT4 was stupid. No race tires, loading sucked, all courses was not selectable and you can't choose your car from your garage in single player. Also you should be able to set the parts specification for each race. So, you don't have people with 1000hp or a drivetrain thats lighter and faster than yours. This is the same for HP settings, and weight class, and drivetrain class.


Last is the visuals and sound. I really hope GT HD was not GT5, but a tech demo displayin the 1080p power of the PS3. The Loadin time they had was good. In order to compete with Project gotham and Forza, the visuals must be completely redone and more photorealistic. You guys notice how in the Hong Kong circuit the water in the sea doesn't move or the boats. This needs to be fix. Everythang moves. Must have headlights that shine, brighten and reflect off of everythang. Halogen and HID's must have difference. Bigger audience and louder. I need to hear them when I pass by. I know that in cockpit you can't hear them in real life, but you gotta stretch it a little. Car sounds are good. But, the sounds from each car needs to be more distinct. Some cars still sound the same. The supercharger and Turbo need to be louder. Well, if there will be more parts to choose from, then you should be able to buy a bigger blow off valve. And also have the benefits and consequence of havin a bigger one. My own mp3s, wma, wav, acc, ogg and watevah god dammit!!!!!!!! My own playlist. Dolby digital and DTS. The lightin in GT, I think is the best, maybe not the best lookin but it looks the most realistic. Must make this better. Interior visual like PGR but better. If you lightweight it and take it out, it comes out, you should see it. Customizable helmets, suits and uniforms. Gotta have my own pit crew pimpin, as well as myself. If I just washed and waxed my car, I wanna see your face in my ass when I pass you by. All the games on the 360 look great. The racin games, you can see the next turn a mile away, its amazin. Must have. Tinted windows is customizable. I want to see everythang in my rearview mirror from far away. I loved in GT1 and 2 you can see the bio of each car. I did not like the ticker in 3, and 4 was absent. More discriptions and bios. I love history of cars. More informed races. Tell me in detail what I'm gettin into before I race. Also interactive enviroments, sand tracks, dirt, tire marks, wall that just got pounded on and so on.

Whew. Sorry just a few more.

New Logitech steerin wheel with butterfly, sequential, holinger and real 7 speed shifter (actually 8, for reverse and for the new concepts comin out with 7 gears). Harder pedals, felt too light, just like all the new cars with electronic pedals. I can't tell how fast I'm goin, so I get tickets. All face buttons on steerin wheel like driving force pro not like the new logitech thats comin out. Special personal customizable web pages for each driver and their victories and cars. Pit crew chat, voice chat, video chat. More manufacturers, not just car makes but, aftermarket companies too. And have a huge difference between 1st party, 3rd party and other party parts. Quit makin them the same. Speedometer must match each car. Actually I like my middle speedometer in game. Umm, customizable!

For the street enthusiats. Now I know that Polyphony is tryin to be legit, but give seperate courses or a code to activate street racin mode for just cruisin. I wanna see amazin city, highway (wangan) and mountain landscapes (touge) with heavy traffic. Give a horn, head light flashes or high beams for fun and race. More night racing on courses and street, lots of night races. Make cold and warm tires a huge difference. You should be able to turn on or off qualifying, warmup laps. Pink slips races. Sell, trade your cars online. The more races you win online with this car, the rep and price goes up for resale. And for gods sakes stop savin everytime I pick a car. let me do it on my own. More detailed tuning. I want to tune everyaspect of the damn car. And.... uh...... explain in detail what it does.

Ok Ok, this is the last one. One that I have been hopin for since the online announcement (was there an announcement?) Since there will be online competitions, they need manufacturer sponsored races for prize money. Like Peter Moore said for their racin games for the 360. Just gotta have a small entry fee. I would play everyday if this option was on it. I would probably go broke. But, for those of you who are probably like me, that probably spent hours tuning one car and many. The real life prize money would be so sweet. My one wish, please come true. Cause Xbox hasn't done it yet.

Just make everythang faster, faster load times.

I want to race the world. I think Europeans and South Americans are amazin racers. I need this challenge. All of asia, thats my competition. All of you guys here on GT planet, if this game goes well, we will all be one.

We gotta find a way to get Sony to listen. GT has so much potential. I hope Polyphony digital and Kazanori Yamauchi is reading this. If this is realized, I will see all of you online on the tracks.
 
I made a small comment about the Logitech G25, the new steering wheel. Its awesome. F-in awesome. The clutch and the seperate 6speed shifter with buttons and a conversion switch for holinger shifting is awesome.
 
If we are reading and are interested in this stuff it seems impossible that NO ONE from pd is checking this stuff out. Granted it might not be this page but somewhere someone on the net is discussing similar issues....
After all aren't they the biggest enthusiast of all?

So anyway you guys pretty much covered all grounds, would hate re-hash something from pg. 23 or something, so I'll keep it short

1. REAL RACING i.e. better AI and a killer online mode with of course more cars on track.

2. THINGS GOING ON besides racing i.e. corner workers , trees swaying, debri collecting , tire marks accumulating

3. FINALLY being able to see the entire interior of a car with animated driver
and in cockpit mode actually seeing the rendered dash

I'm sure these have been mentioned but if not thats my 2 cents:tup:

Really enjoyed and liked the energy and enthusiam of Shinespikes post #1105.
Right on man thats more like it.




Thanks for the props greenlightining. I just had to let it out cause GT4 had so much expectations and I was lookin forward to all of it, eventhough I shouldn't have. GT4 was so halfassed. It pissed me off. The only thing that got me goin was Nurburgring, better physics, driving force pro, and 700 cars. Thats it. And, everyone on this site, who loves the game, knows this, and we deserve more. If sony or polyphony is makin another slightly better game just to milk more money, I might have to go to another series. They deserve my money If they would just live up to what they could be.
 
I'm from the land down under and I have a special, single response.
If this is already up then, SORRY!!!!

The one, the only
BATHURST!!!
In the endurances there should be a Bathurst 1000km race!!!
I don't do long endurances but I'm sure more than half of yous do!!
