Would You Like the Ability to choose the AI in Arcade Races for GT5

[Sam48]

It's one of my biggest complaints about Prologue. I can never figure out the perfect AI setting to match my car and my level of driving. However, if I could choose the AI's cars, I wouldn't have to deal with that anymore. So if I wanted to have, say, a race with only Ferrari F40's, I could, or if I wanted a race with every top super car around, I could do that as well. I think it would be a nice feature. What are your thoughts on this?

EDIT: This was also supposed to be a poll, but I forgot to enable it.

Yes, like in Toca/DTM/V8 Race Driver 1.
Would be great, but a Codemasters employee once told me they had to kill this feature because some car manufacturers didnt like it.

F3 has the feature, at least in MP, to add AI cars and select the car and difficulty for each one, so I don't think it's that big of an issue.

That's one way to kill the rabbit. Instead of selecting the car to beat the rabbit, you could select one that's competitive with the class of cars chosen.

I would take something like F3, in MP and take it a step further allowing the AI to chosen from the home garage.

Thats cool.
Would really like that feature because you can reacreate more authentic races this way.

 

[Ollie1066]

Yeah, and the ability to set up like 1v1 shootout kind of things

 

[almog054]

yes ... it can be very cool

I believe that an option to select the A.I. in arcade or say family cup if they have that again would be an extremly valuable and important feature. As long as it was open structured meaning you can choose just about any car for the A.I. without any limitations. Then I would like to also be able to due a quick tune similar to GT5 prologue on each A.I. car in order to fine tune and create the ultimate car line ups. That way eveb if say Simmode or Dare I say online mode was not as good as it should be, there would still be endless amount of racing in Arcade mode. However then again would be heavily dependent on the A.I. and how the difficult level is established for the A.I..

Options like this should be so simple to include and the benifits would be tremendous. Heck at this point I would buy a refurbished copy of GT4 with this option. There are lost of small things like this that would add a lot of value to GT5.

It's a real shame, if they had that feature i would have enjoyed Toca 2 so much more, there is something very entertaining about making your own grid. With Gran Turismo 5 have a supposed 1000 or so cars, this feature becomes even better.

 

[cudadude2]

yes i'd like this very much. i dislike the races where you drive a high performing street car and have to race against race cars. it;s just visually unappealing to me.

Agreed, The same as racing group B rally cars mixed in with my GT300 cars in Gran Turismo 4.

I would even like the option to picked pre-defined grids for online racing. Meaning race organizer chooses a line up of 16 cars and then players choose them on a first entered basis. Perhaps if it was an online series race, the next race drivers swap cars etc. Or as I have read about in some of the organized real word GT events that for the next event last place get to choose a slightly better car for the next race etc. Perhaps if there is some sort of online skill factor per player, a lower skilled player could face off higher skilled racers by using marginally better cars.

So many things can and should be done. However they need to make sure they include the base line of options and features.

Yep, that's actually my biggest complaint about Prologue too. It makes no sense. If the cars are already in the game I ought to be able to race against them if I want to. It's a dirt simple matter as far as the programming / time it would take to implement. The only justification I've come up with, and it's lame, is that it's a feature left out on purpose that's going to be in GT5 which makes Prologue truly seem like a demo by comparison.

No excuse as far as I can see.
