Two player mode feedback

[Enemem]

1 - Replays - stupid. Want to watch in full screen. Got to save it and watch in the gallery....stupid.
2 - If I'm racing a mate I want to see how far behind (or ahead) I am. Can't do it. No laps times. How f..... hard can it be to have a screen giving each lap time. Not hard... lazy. Or just really poor testers, who don't play the game?
3 - If we want to race two different cars, they don't show the pp's while you're selecting cars. Do I have to write down all my pp points for all my cars, and then keep a log of changes? **** o*f. If pp's so fantastics how can this GLARING ommision have been perpetrated, it was in GT5 as well.

Due to the duplicate nature of GT6/GT5, it's a wonder we had to wait at all for GT6.

I'm enjoying the graphics, the cars, the tracks, and the new menu's but the lack of attention to the aspects of two player mode that matter is making this game a laughing stock.

4 - can't set track times (--> forced to drive at a certain time on certain tracks)
5 - no driving line available
6 - off-track "realistic" option not there anymore


It would also be nice to be able to select different setups for the same car (A, B, C).

I feel these would be very easy things to fix and one really has to wonder why they even took away some options compared to GT5?

The menu has gotten far better and quicker in GT6, I just wish there were a few more options regarding track settings etc. It's no Fun driving Willow Streets in the complete dark, with only have a screen and without driving line, when you don't know the track perfectly!

I would really like to see more posts like this, constructive criticism for PD, no off-topic chattery like in every other thread on GTPlanet!

Who decided there would be no 2 player driving line?? How will anybody unfamiliar with the game be expected to even make it past the first corner? It's my damn game, I want the option. And I'll continue to be highly unsatisfied until they remedy this so that I can actually share this game with other people.

Well, the OP's wasn't really being constructive...more like going on a rant. Constructive criticism doesn't use the word 'stupid' - there are other ways of saying the same thing without attacking.

An example would be - "Replays: I do quite a lot of these, and did so in GT5 as well. I do not understand though why I cannot do certain things like view a replay in full-screen mode like before, without having to save the file..." and so on.

As I haven't tried the two-player part yet, I can't really comment as to why. I do think the faster UI and stuff like that might be responsible for some things being cut, or trimmed. I don't know, but it is possible.

Whatever gets the job done. Did you get the feeling that I cared that the game was not really as good as it ought to be? Good - job done. I've been a programmer and what I'm asking could be done really easily. GT3 replay mode was awesome by comparison.

Well it was clear what you thought - I was only using your post though as an example, as I was talking to haubi who was under the impression that it was constructive...

...though being a programmer has nothing to do with it really, because you are not a programmer working within the constraints of GT6's game software. Surely, as a programmer you realise that it's a balancing act on a system like the PS3? I'm not defending PD here, like I say I haven't had cause to play the two-player part yet - but I do understand that it might have been removed for a reason.

Don't forget, PD also has access to everyone's gaming habits on GT5 - and perhaps only a small number used this function.

None of these options were there in GT5 either.

Especially the replay, you had to do it the same way you're doing now. Nothings changed.
As for splits, you can just look at your buddy's screen to see where he is

I really don't think they'll "fix" anything here, %99.99 of the players either play online or single player. I don't really expect them to cater to the handful of people.
