Why can't you rewind, fastforward or change camera? These should be basic replay options.
 
Basic Logic was a PD employee until Kaz fired him for telling him he could not reach the stars because it was illogical due to the distance of the nearest star.
 
You can change camera by pressing select.
Rewind and fastforward would be great.
Maybe different rates of fastforward and rewind?
Such as X2, X3, X0.2 (to slow it down).
 
Yes totally agree. Fast forward and rewind should be pretty standard. The replay function is **** in all honesty! If I want to see the last bit of a 4hr race do you really think I'd sit through 4 hrs to watch it. Erm no! Di*kheads!
 
I have no idea why they left out fast forward and rewind options in replays. Its just stupid. I really hope they release these features in a patch, its a basic, essential feature for any replay system..
 
They were too busy making the rest of the game perfect that's why. Oh no wait.... they weren't!

hahaha, thats a good one.
but yes! If gt5 had replay rewinding, fast forwarding, and slow motion. something similar to dirt.

it would be absolutely amazing

👍 Or something like Grid :)

Would love it especially when taking photos! (hate to have to do a replay like 10 times just to pause it at the perfect moment)

Wow, I'm a little surprised to see actual constructive criticism of GT5. Normally I would expect one person to share a dissenting opinion followed by the GTFDL charging to GT5's rescue to flame and/or insist that there's no room for improvement here; that the game is perfect as-is. It's amazing to see so much honesty, at least thus far.

Yes, I've been feeling this from the day the game came out. Rewind/fastforward is just one of the ways I wished that PD would stop pretending that they've got all the right ideas and everyone else is retarded. I wished they would look at what some of the other guys like Turn 10 or Codemasters have been doing and take notes, because they've done some nifty stuff. Even if we don't want something like FM3's option to rewind during a race (though a useful assist for newbie players), at least being able to advance, skip, and rewind in replays is just common sense.

Well said :) 👍
 
I think PD can't be that stupid to forget about more replay functions. That is not possible. The only reason must be the hardware limitations of the PS3.
 
yeah yeah yeah then explain why grid and F12010 which is also on PS3 has replay control.......

Had no room for a few simple functions?
 
Split screen replay should be possible too. I love driving together with my housemates and watch replays of a close race. I cannot thinkg of a reason why they didnt put it it. I really miss split screen replays. I hope they will implement it with a update...
 
Imo i doubt we're ever gonna get controls where you can rewind and fast forward in GT5. Mainly because i don't think the PS3 has the power to do so. In older GT's this was possible but the frame rate at wich this game runs i believe if you were to fast forward or rewind it might be too much for the system to handle and potentially cause the game to freeze. Perhaps that's why they left this out? It's just a speculation but it could happen.

Atleast a skip button for next and previous laps. And maybe a slow mo'.

Always thought a free look cam would be great. Especially when your watching a race online.
 
Would be awesome to be able to pause it and go frame by frame aswell.
They created a great photo mode, but to use it you have to pause at exactly the right moment:(
 
There was a fast forward function in GT4. Too bad there's none in GT5 :(.

You can only change camera (eg to cockpit view) for A spec replays. You can't do that for online replays, which form the vast majority of my saved replays.

What!
Never knew that.
Is this also the case for B-Spec replays (I have one)?
Also, why is it that we can't change to cockpit view when watching the AI race?

Yeah, I realised that a few days ago. Another very stupid thing. Online replays are reduced to track cam only.
 
They have gone mad with the camera/photomode, but to get a decent action photo, you have to pause it just right. If you get it wrong, start again and watch 3/4 of a race, until the right point, whoops, missed it and repeat until bored.
 
All of these, and frame-by-frame skipping to get that perfect photo moment.
 
From the Kazunori Yamauchi tweets! thread:

The former can't [be accomplished] for the next update. The latter will become possible. RT @fabiosantana79: @Kaz_Yamauchi Please include things like rewind and slow motion in replays in the next update. Currently when the replay is over it's not even possible to play it again.

This was posted mid December, right before the last update. I take this to mean that we will eventually get FF/RR features. If not in the next update, than soon after.
 
Nothing yet. Quite disappointing. :grumpy:
