Airbags in GT6

[1241Penguin]

It is a racing game, there isn't a whiff of "driving" in the game, only racing.

Technically speaking, driving means to operate and control the direction and speed of a motor vehicle. In any case, the point of GT is to simulate the driving aspects of the game, that is, the physics of cars and whatnot.

Yes, airbags are a part of driving, but they should not be of high priority for PD to add.

I hadn't thought of it in that regard, but never-the-less, airbags wuld be a waste of memory.

 

[LeadFootLiam]

Still doesn't explain what it would add to the game. If you crash in a license test or even know you're about to you hit restart and go again. I don't need to sit and watch an animation of an airbag going off, it's pointless. It adds nothing to the gaming experience.

It makes the gaming experience more realistic. Why does everything have to add SO MUCH to GT6? I want GT6 to be as real as possible.

They should add schools and jobs to gt6. My reason behind it is so that way if you do bad in high school or don't pass all together it would e very hard for you to attain a car, or a decent car that is. You'd most likely be stuck at a dead end job and barely be able to afford a car around 1500.

If you do we'll and go to college you should have to pay real money to buy the books and have to pay for what classes your going to take. It would be a Monday through Friday thing and if you don't show up you get flunked and would have to get a job because you wasted all your money on books just to fail a class.

If however you passed you would still have to finish paying off all the loans that you took out to afford college. You will eventually get a good job in the future, but until then you'd probably be stuck in a low end job, still only being open to low priced cars.

The job process will be Monday through Friday 8 hours a day(one game day equals 24 hours real time.) don't forget all the bills you have to pay, that being said you'd have to little the amount of money to do anything other to your car then drive it, mainly because you wouldn't want to worry about all the mechanical damage. Thus turning this game into a life simulator.

More to come later.

Disclaimer - school/job progress in now way or form helps out real life.

You need to learn what prioritizing is so that you'll understand why some aspects in GT5 were a failure because PD couldn't prioritize their main issues.

 

[CayenneGT]

Should we add a button on the controller that opens the door for gas? How about the ability to adjust the A/C vents? Maybe have a driver spill his 64.oz Mega Slurp of Soda from 7 Eleven while shifting?

Or or or or how about...

Since you seem to have conducted a thorough evaluation of the development process of GT5, with unrestricted access to documents, staff and management, why don't you share your findings with us? Please. What were the main issues during the development of GT5 and what things should have been prioritized differently?

And no, the point is not that GT5 is a perfect game, the point is that you only see the things that are broken but you have no idea about what things were fixed. So making a statement about bad priorities from a point of view where you have absolutely no idea about what the process was like is just silly.

That being said, I agree with you that airbags for GT6 would probably be at the bottom of the list of priorities, and rightfully so.

You have a very bad habit of criticizing and questioning the obvious.

No. The obvious is that GT5 has many flaws.
What is not obvious is that the cause is bad priorities.
If you can back up that claim, go ahead. If it's so obvious it shouldn't be hard to do.

Not only at the bottom of the list but completely pointless to add. Air bags are not in real life racing for a reason. There's a reason in racing there are roll cages and 5 point harnesses.

Putting in a air bag to me? Where's the hack to rip them out?

Next let's be able to go out of the Nurburgring Nordschleife at night and cruise the streets for a prostitute or even drugs maybe.

I mean some things just do not ever need to be in a racing game.

It doesn't have to add "so much", it just has to add something to the gameplay that makes it worthwhile. I could make a list of 50 things that would add to the realism but serve no other purpose and as such are a waste of time.

 

[Tornado]

It makes the gaming experience more realistic.

The problem is that it doesn't. How many racing series allow airbags? Even track day series like SCCA events (which GT generally has always sorta emulated rather than "real" series) usually have people remove airbag systems as one of the first part of weight reduction; because they are usually complemented by the installing of racing seats.

You so silly.

The WiiU version should have a breathalyzer test.

In order to prevent piracy, the game on the PS4 should come with a car key that's plugged into the console itself or to an accessory, or a smart key.
(this could actually be a nice idea. Just a code for the regular peasant version, a full blown key and lock on the most expensive version, that connects to the ps4 via bluetooth or via usb).

 

[C_Raccoon23]

The day something like this is added to a GT game is the day I give up all hope on the series.

 

[DogZy]

these topics are the result of zero news from pd or sony.

Are you gonna keep saying 'oh yeah then where's the evidence of everything you said?'

So far you've done this in 2 threads and I can tell you're gonna keep doing this instead of actually having a discussion with board members. Somethings are obvious (yes I have to keep underlining words for your smartass) and somethings are speculation but so far you won't accept anything said unless we give you a 100 page essay with bags of evidence on your desk.

Well Mary Pozzi's Camaro which was chosen to be in an upcoming GT game, does have air suspension! A point I brought up when her car was chosen last year. How will PD simulate her suspension settings? It's all air ride?

This is news to me. My Camaro has RideTech adjustable shocks but isn't "bagged."

[Ills1999]

That's gold right there.

2 things.

1. Evidence is golden. That's the only way you prove your points in the real world. We have to practice it every day at school. I see nothing wrong with him wanting evidence.

2. Just saying, I don't see why you're so rude to him. You don't need to call him names. He made a reasonable and good request and you just blew up in his face.

Because he doesn't want evidence. He's attempting to use the evidence he knows doesn't exist to try to prove a point; namely that you can't make any guesses what the priorities were in the development of a product based on the final result. Which is pretty silly (because there are things that you can obviously tell were prioritized at the expense of others), but if you don't see what the discussion is actually about and think it's just a call for evidence it's moot.

Tell me which part of this:

Is a good faith request for evidence? Because the answer where I'm sitting is "None of it; and it's just a smartass attempt at Devil's Advocate despite the fact that he knew what 1241Penguin was saying."

I wasn't necessarily talking about this situation.. More of just how it seems that you have to have evidence to back things up these days.

We have to write page-long answers to "Why is John a good boy" in our state exams. We have to pull tons of evidence from the text and if we don't then we fail the whole question.

Our teacher tells us all the time about how "The only way you can prove things is with evidence. In courts, in discussions, in life."

I was just trying to say that asking for evidence is common and reinforced today, at least in my life.

Tell me which part of this:

Is a good faith request for evidence? Because the answer where I'm sitting is "None of it, despite the fact that he knew what 123Penguin was saying."

You're correct on that one.

I was more just trying to ask "Why are you cursing at him? He's simply requesting something and I don't see how it provokes any name calling."

I get that it's hard to give evidence in this situation. It's just that I don't see what he did to provoke the answer he got, if that makes sense. But I guess that's just because I don't like it when other people get picked on.

 

[CayenneGT]

Because he doesn't want evidence. He's just using the fact that there is a no evidence for he's "requesting" to try to prove a point; namely that you can't make any guesses what the priorities were in the development of a product based on the final result.

Thank you for backing me up.

He's just another kid being a smartass instead of discussing a simple topic.

I think airbags in any racing game would be a poor decision as they don't add anything to the game other than a small visual effect.

Your language isn't appreciated. Please stop.

 

[CayenneGT]

KimLN, the whole evidence crap should stay out of forums in general and should be introduced IF needed but not for a simple discussion on a forum.

Yes evidence is golden but we are just chatting here, it's not needed...

Your language isn't appreciated. Please stop.

Dude, I'm just calling it like I see it, if it stops then I stop.

 

[cryptomanic]

I have a great idea for GT5. Instead of a garage to hold cars or a semi to deliver them, you could have a mothership. The mothership could beam up the cars you purchase and you could easily fly all of your cars to the track:tup:

Yes I understand.

It's just I was trying to say that, as you said, I think you should be ready to accept a request for evidence if its needed. I see how it isn't really possible here and I apologize.

I don't want to cause you to be upset, it's just I didn't appreciate the language and such. But, as I said, that's probably a personal thing.

I know it's not needed here. But I've seen evidence asked for quite a bit on these forums and I was just trying to say that people will ask for it quite often these days.

No hard feelings mate?

As a bit of humour, I'm all for it!


Uh, and, evidence is still golden. The point is that you can't prove anything with an absence of evidence; so deigning to keep evidence out of the discussion doesn't help anyone.

Instead of the boost option in multiplayer, the ship could fly down and grab the other cars in the lead with the tractor beam.
