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.
