What about running in reverse in every track?

But then you take that to any extremes and all of a sudden you realise GT4 shouldn't have been made because nothing that imitates whats real in the game is close to actually being real. There's always a point where you have to compromise for gameplay, physics, not really, as long as you offer aids to help people that can't handle real physics, damage, that's open to debate personally I'd prefer it, other's dissagree. Running a track in reverse, what in the world can be bad about that. It turns one track layout into two, for nothing. GT isn't the ultimate in realism you know, sure the physics are very good for a game, but not much else about it comes close to how it really is, from the championships to the generic tuning parts for every car. It's a game, the direction you can race a track isn't one of the ultimate deciders as to weather the games realistic or not, all it does having both directions available, is add to the track variety. How is that a bad thing?

Give me a legitimate answer as to how that will have some negative impact on the game and I'll respect that.

Okay, if you put it that way I choose more tracks any time! I see no point in running a track in reverse, really. The scenery is the same, and everthing is familiar already, so the exitement is somewhat gone. But...

Haha, spot on! So will I!

Good Man!! 👍

It can´t, it´s as simple as that! And the fact is, nothing (obvious. Worse AI would be bad, but thats not obvious) added to GT will make it worse, will it? Like I´ve said, if it´s there and you don´t fancy it, don´t use it!

 

[Dave A]

I would give you rep for that, well said but I have to spread it around befoer I can give it to you again .

But this is when I say, take the reverse versions of the tracks out, and just add MORE tracks, that will be better IMO. Sure, nothing you add to gt4 will make it worse, but theres thing you could add INSTEAD of that and have a better game. You could always just turn around and go the other way anyways, anyone with a stopwatch could also time themselves.

 

[Dave A]

That would be better, but as I've said they arn't comparable, adding more new tracks has nothing to do with allowing you to race tracks in reverse. It takes a lot of time, money and effort to add more new tracks, if you have the time to add more new tracks you have the time to make thoes reverse as well, simple as. It takes almost no time, effort or money to allow you to race an existing track in reverse, allowing you to do this to all the tracks has no impact at all on weather they will include more new tracks or not. Turning around at the start of a race and timing yourself backwards with a stopwatch would certainly be worse than allowing you the choice to actually race that track and lap that track backwards properly.
