@amar212 recently teased that:
"Significant developments are preparing, one of them will be unprecedented in the series history. I think it will be announced sooner than later."

In the Volkswagen VGT trailer you can clearly see two cars drag racing at Gemma Solar starting around the 0:11 mark. Could this be the introduction of Drag Racing into GT6?

​
 
I doubt it very much, I think you're grasping at straws here Johnny. All that shows is two cars racing through there, nothing indicating the introduction of drag racing....no Christmas tree lights or anything else relating to drag racing. You're reading too much into it I think. Me thinks you got Hypetrain Fever. :lol:

Wasn't drag racing in GT4? That would mean drag racing in GT6 isn't unprecedented for the series.

But, you couldn't drag race against opponents in GT4, nor (officially) in GT5. This could be what the "unprecedented" means.
 
Id think in the beginning they would be more than just photomode locations but track editor locations. Itd be cool to run through that solar plant.
 
@mcfizzle Just 1/4 mile time trials, not actual drag racing.

They actually wanted to put it in GT2 but they didn't have time to finish it, since the schedule said it had to be out in time for Christmas and that meant they didn't have time.
 
Is this thread going to get closed with no explanation/no good reason like the previous one ?

That mod could've left a trollface pic or something, at the very least.

:irked:

Man PD is honestly a joke. They show us all the cool things they want GT to be and they don't actually make the game like that...

Drag racing in GT5's intro on what seems to be the full runway of the TGTT, again here at a photo mode location (perfect for drag racing), 10 cars racing within meters of each other in GT6's intro, dubbed car sound effects rather than the cheesy vacuum cleaners, etc etc. Why the hell are you teasing us with all these amazing things and then you don't put them in the actual game? It's infuriating... They have so much in front of them and they're just doing nothing with it. If a company was ever clueless, oh boy...
 
Man, enough with the teases and hints and trying to guess what 'might' get released for GT6. Ugh :grumpy: This stuff never pans out and we've had so much time to dream about what could be added to GT6 that PD could never meet the expectations!!! :lol: Honestly, keep the vague hints and unprecedented rumors.. Just give me the track generator. You know, the thing that was used to advertise for the game before it was released?? Getting that track generator back or shuffle racing returning would seem pretty dang 'unprecedented' at this point :D

For me personally drag racing has never been terribly exciting in video games, I like spontaneous ones when doing track days but when it's a 'mode' the load times to reset the cars are usually longer than the actual race! We'll see, I def wouldn't mind if something like that was added but that doesn't seem like an 'unprecedented' feature.

There was a previous thread on the drag racing portion of this video that got closed?

I'd need to see the HKS drag car to believe it. But yea looks typical of a GT race, 2 cars no idea where the rest of the pack is.
 
The unprecedented thing might be the Course Maker - A proper course maker, with freedom to create what you really want and not some auto-generated random layout with some parameters.
 
How has a bare bones, basic drag racing mode not even been added into GT5 or 6?

GT2 had two drag cars with no drag strip. GT4 had a drag strip with no drag cars. Now we have neither.

Just use the drag strip from GT4 or SSRX, put GT5's acceleration test statistic recorder in and job done. How long would that take to do, a day? I mean, GT5 even had a queue-ing system in the rally challenges, that would be perfect for use in online drag racing. False starts have been in for years as well, and now we even have a lighting system.

I say God damn.
