Whaaaaat? You don't like rally?Creative tracks
Snow tracks
Dirt tracks
Trial mountain because it's too bumpy
dr_slumpWhaaaaat? You don't like rally?
Yep, agreed, the 80's Fuji track was one of my favourite tracks in that game while the current layout with all the tarmac is a downer. I don't want any of the real tracks removed though, the more the better.That's exactly the track I was going to mention. It makes me remember why I never chose it in GT4. It's like you say, "a lake of tarmac." Finding the right racing line is extremely tricky, and figuring out what's track and what's not is a pain if you're not used to it. 80's Fuji was one of my favorite tracks. I just wished they brought it back.
Route X is still interesting as it has a purpose; it's good for testing and statistics. Of course you are entitled to your own opinion.Route X - Obviously. . .
SSR7 - To long and to boring.
Eiger Nordwand - Never liked that track, and never raced on it exept for the races required.
Suzuka - I know its world famous race track, but I just really hate it, and always seem to mess up racing on this track.
At the end it all depends on the selection of cars. Remember that there is only like three turns were you have to slow down, which is basically the only opportunity that you have to overtake. The rest is all a massive "straight" in which the car with the higher top speed ends up winning no matter what.
They were more popular early on. A lot of "Like the Wind" style races, and I honestly think that SS7 is by far the best track for that event. By far. What is a true shame is that when the track was popular, drafting was game breakingly bad.
Mostly though, I find it very interesting for taking high powered road cars out for free run. Graphics shouldn't be a prime focus for video games, but cockpit view on SS7 was a nice treat.
Akbar2k7I have to agree with you SS7 is a fine track with the right cars.
The only tracks I dislike area eiffiel and Mt Aso cause the TT annoyed me.
On the other hand the Spa Fracrochamp track is so good its now my favorite IRL track after fuji.
Fuji is really the only one I don't want. Sure, I don't like GVS, but that doesn't mean I want it out. It is a classic track and will never go away.
I love Fuji but it would be nice to have events at all the Fuji layouts (80's, 90's etc). Especially when making era-specific events (e.g. Japanese 80's).
Heres an idea
Instead of removing tracks how about improving them? PD is known for improving/changing original courses.
Add a pitlane to SSR7. Give it some braking markers . Give it a daytime option
Remove the jump on Cape Ring and shorten it, perhaps get rid of the big loop.
No need to remove them completely when they can be improved
Hello, for me it would be these:
Special Stage Route X - Too long thus boring, old GT1/2 Test Course was more than enough for slipstream racing and/or testing, plus the crazy camber in corners!
Special Stage Route 7 - Too long, boring, layout is awfull, no pits, no environment apart from annoying fireworks.
Eiger Nordwand - Too narrow, boring layout, no run-off areas.
London - Too narrow, no pits, too short for such a nice city.
EDIT:
Cape Ring - Totally forgot on the most hideous track in GT5. I mean the loop on race track is too much. Track feels like its from Burnout or NFS. Other corners are very repetitive. (left-right-left-right)
BUT i think inside version is its name, this can stay as a stand alone track in different environment.
All rally tracks which are not point-to-point
I'm actually surprised at such a question. For each iteration of a game, there should never be removals, only additions.
I love the SSR tracks and I'm thinking people who played Tokyo Xtreme Racer like myself, appreciate SSR7, tunnels, rainbow bridge, yeah! Connecting all the SSRs would be a dream, as a matter of fact, I wish they would add the whole Shutoku highway system, since Genki is not utilizing its resources as they have it all mapped out already.
SSRX shows me how great PD can be with tracks, the sheer amount of details for a "test" track is astounding, especially at night. Maybe I'm in the minority who parks the car and goes into photo mode on the track to "look around".
MoLiEGRoute X and Route 7 must go... Pointless tracks IMHO...
Then where we gonna go to do 300+ mph??
