I wonder how will they improve this track eaven more? Imagine a wind carrying all those leaves around the track at 1st Sunday cup race! And heavy rain, night or even snow! I would like another route added. However my biggest request is SSR 11 with both GT3 and GT1 variations and snow, rain and even day/night cycle. It would be great if there is an ultimate SSR route with all tracks
SSR11, AHHHH...
me too. Extra routes is an idea many people have expressed on here. I would love to have Special Stage Route 11 with multiple layouts/ variations; so with as much or even more layouts than let's say, the Twin Ring Motegi and Cape Ring locations. An extended SSR11... I'm not sure I can see it happening in a good way (it's pretty long as is), but I would like the option. Yeah, since it's as long as it is, why not extend it whilst having the original among shorter variations and a different route.
LOOONG post...
Did you hear the statement made by a Sony rep. that they saw Nurburgring with snow effects? I'm not sure if you've been keeping up with most things "as small" as that in recent years (on GTP). We should without a doubt see all of Norschleife with rain and snow effects. What's interesting is that Spa came with a full day cycle and rain, whereas Autumn Ring, an original track that's been in GT since the beginning, only has limited time change and finally rain. I wonder if PD will be able to keep everything at the same par. Eiger with snow effects for example; absolute shame that the reverse layout doesn't have weather change. It's all so strange, but I think the PS4 will help move things along more than we expect.
But like I said, it's all strange. No weather effects on the reverse layout of Eiger Nordwand? They took away the ability to let players use cars at Kart Space after the disapproval shown from fans after the first couple of weeks of Kart Space releasing as DLC in GT5. PD declared two or three days later that the next update, which came about a month later for Christmas time!!, would allow Kart Space to use cars. Come to think of it though, people started using it to "race" and show how stupid people can be by using that Jay Leno Tank Car. Clearly, they can allow and disallow how PD or Kaz Yamauchi want their game to be played / used. That is the only reason why I think they won't allow people to use ANY cars on Kart Space, yet the new GT Arena kart track allows for that capability (likely since the surface of the track is twice as large as Kart Space's). Ban some cars? They should let that happen.
With GT5, we could take Standard cars to Photo Travel locations, yet with GT6, we CAN do that, in addition to having two personal cars in the photo, Premium-quality or not.
I would LOOOOVVVE SSR11 back in the GT series. Not only is it a long track, but the sections consist of some awesome driving potential (personally, I would rather hotlap that track like I do with 70-ish% of GT's original and real world tracks. SSR11 was just so complex in a way which made ME frustrated, but I understood how great it is to have a city, night track like that. A full day cycle for it seems unlikely to me, but a return with rain AND SNOW sounds probable.
Still, it's a little bit like wishful thinking, I hope you see what I mean about the inconsistencies (even the REVERSE layout of Eiger with weather plus time change). They don't lead me to believe we can see more NASCAR tracks, no real world drift tracks, and we really don't know what's coming for GT7.
If Nurburgring / Nordschleife doesn't have snow effects with the launch of GT7, I would really reconsider buying it right after it releases or pre-ordering it like I did with GT5 and GT6. I got GT4 a week after it came out (I don't know how long my brother waited to get GT3, but he doesn't even play GT anymore, the CHUMP! lol). I really hope Kaz and PD find ways to solve the simply and minor problems with GT, and I still don't think we'll be surprised by new original circuits or even point-to-point layouts, or sprint races. Seattle, Grand Canyon, El Capitan. In reverse order, these are the tracks we believed to release in GT6 and Seattle very likely to be released at the start of GT6. It wasn't farfetched to think it was going to happen. It comes off as being a ploy to reinvigorate all GT players who miss those tracks, but Seattle specifically, since it was shown in HD form.
