Hello GTPlanet.

Now don't think this has been announced from Polyphony Digital. With the amount of attention focused on some of the JGTC cars, I begin to wonder. If PD came up with "Gran Turismo: Concept," could a JGTC game be possible?

Now, I know what you are thinking. "What about Top Gear GT for Game Boy Advance?" No, that game is made by Kemco, and as I heard, the game is good, then it gets old kind of quick. But think about it the entire game was devoted to the JGTC. It would mean that the game would be devoted to cars past and present. You could even race in the first official JGTC season (1994, I think) with the ugly-looking Porsches (of that time). You might even get license tests to move up to the GT500. Or to make things more interesting, can a license test. Getting the best cars mean doing one thing, playing with scenarios. Here is one:

"In 1997, the Castrol Toyota Supra GT finally defeated their arch-rivals, the Nissan Skylines. In this scenario, you may choose one of the following: (1) 'As one of the championship-winning Castrol Supra, defeat the Skylines with 3 laps to the finish at Suzuka.' or (2) 'As the driver of a Nissan Skyline GT-R, beat your Toyota Rivals and help deny them a JGTC title'."

You get to race the Mitsubishi FTO, Hondas, Toyotas, Nissans, the Chrysler Viper, the Vemac RD320, Lamborghini Diablo, McLaren F1, and such. Since this is a JGTC-sponsored game, you can also have the ability to build your own team by buying a race car, forming a team name, using custom decals, and even building your own team and deciding what clothes your Race Queens can wear. For Race Quens, you can choose whether they wear dressy sandals or platform boots (they can look sexy or evil on them), a bikini or short skirt set or hot pants set, the umbrella colors and all.

Do you think PD would take in such an idea? If you think so, what recommendations would you recommend? If not, why would this idea be a flop for GT fans?

How about this idea, folks?
 
Except Polyphony wouldn't be able to have the Ferrari F355, Ferrari 360, Porsche 911s, Lamborghini Diablos, possibly the McLaren F1s, etc...

Also you'd have to get the sponsers for all those cars to agree to let themselves be used in the game as well.

Really, most of the stuff from the JGTC is already in GTC and planned for GT4 anyway, so making a game with just that would seem kind of lacking to me.
 
There is enough JGTC influence in GT4, I beleive, there really is any need for a totally new game. :trouble:
 
Yeah, probably just be a championship race like in GT2 :)
 
I think a just jgtc game would be great.

Btw with a lil bit of conviction and some bribes im sure Poly could get porshe and ferrari... Lambo and Mclaren are already in (supposebly and we might get ferrari too :D)
so...

But its true that there is alot of JGTC influence in Gran Turismo allready...

:rolleyes:
 
If such a game were made who says it would be released outside of Japan?
 
As I said in some other thread relating to this subject of new racing games, I would rather have PD make a "World Racing" type of game.

It would start out like any other Gran Turismo game(So like GT5 if and when it comes out), however you can download certain types of racing series from the internet. If you were an F1 fan, you could download some F1 cars, some F1 tracks, and so on. Or, if your fancy was karting, Nascar:irked:, WRC, or whatever else you wanted to do, then you could download the specs for the game and then play on. PD could continuously add new racing series over time so you could have many different ones to choose from.

This would obviously have to be for PS3 because the memory for all of this would be far to much for any existing platform, besides the PC.

What do you all think?
 
Dorifto: Basically you're talking about Polyphony licensing the software engine that drives the realistic simulation for the Gran Turismo series. It has been suggested before, and I think it's a great idea. But unfortunately I don't think they will do that.
 
That would be really cool, as PD get more licences to more cars, tracks and series they become availavle to download. But then would we really need a GT6?

What if all the downloads were made by PD?
 
That'd be pretty cool. It's actually what everyone expected from GT4. Jordan originally had this forum named GTN for Gran Turismo Network or something.

I could see it happening on the next Playstation, which I would hope would have a built in large hard drive and network adaptor. Then downloadable content would be just like games on XBox via XBox Live. I actually downloaded two new maps and a gametype pack for Ghost Recon on my XBox last night. It's pretty cool how it all works and I think it could be totally awesome for Gran Turismo.
 
It's pointless...theres already all the JGTC cars you could want in the game. Why would they make a game with just a specific kind of car when they have those and so much more in the game already.

GTN was for Gran Turismo Next, not too sure how that name got about but theres a couple of sites with a section for GT Next. Also GT Professional which was a rumoured PC version which hasn't even been hinted at by PD but denied by them.
