I had a sudden thought today that would have been a good feature in GT5. Free roam replay, where you could watch the reply from anywhere.

The idea came from the videos on the internet where a car will take off into the distance from the person recording. I would love to be able to do this and listen to the sound of the cars as they accelerate into the distance. :dopey: You would also have the ability to see crashes etc from any angle.

Opinions?
 
Good idea. Although I´m not too much into programing, I think it would be a little bit of a headache to include a feature like this that works 100%. But it is defenitly possible. Great idea! And about hearing the car accelerating in the distance... man that would be awsome. Or putting yourself around 200 meters before the car, then hearing it launch at full throttle, and then hearing the super well made dopler effect in GT5 as the car passes by flat out. Wow! I really don´t see why PD shouldn´t include something like this.
 
Yeah it would be nice. You can do it in Black Ops and it's pretty cool. And the original Driver game. I made some great replays with that game.
 
I would be happy with a few wide angle cameras (blimp or chopper view maybe) and even maybe an option to set up custom tv camera locations along the track along with set how far they zoom in (I don't like how the camera shots in GT5 often zoom until a car almost completely fills the screen).
 
I would love something like that. Actually the external cam is useless in tracks created with the course maker, maybe an elicopter cam would work very well.
 
I loved the replay system that was used in the origional "Driver" game. Being able to set up any angle, rewind/fast forward on the fly...etc. 👍
 
It's a good idea but I think it's too late for PD to incorporate it, as I expect that the tracks models aren't complete enough to allow you that level of freedom.

First rule of 3D modelling - you don't model what you don't see...
 
Live For Speed has a mode where you can detach the camera from the car and just fly around the entire track and looking at whatever you want. Really good for film making and enjoying replay mode more. Sort of like the camera in photomode except you have much much more freedom and you dont need to pause.

they incorporated photo walk so replay free roam isn't any harder than this.

Not the same thing. You can only move around within the confines of what you'd normally see when driving plus a little bit more - the amount of camera movement is restricted, so you're prevented from going outside of what has been modelled...
 
Free roam replay & a replay editor sounds like a cool idea, cos sometimes the replay angles aren't good & focus on just 1 car instead of the overall action which means you miss things sometimes like geat overtakes.
