Gran Turismo - Open World Freeroam? (Read OP)

[C_Raccoon23]

It's funny too because NFS wasn't the first racing game series with open world. I think its sad that people think if GT tries to do something new, the series will be ruined.

Well some of it, like this, certainly would:

And it would be good if people coule be on teams like
1. Dark Outlaws (they would take out any car they see)
2. Police (people could join the police force)
3. Wasps (drivers with quick little cars that would annoy other drivers with there agility)
4. Fbi (Investigating criminal gangs and would total cars)

I think that PS should focus on fix most on improve stardard cars first and develop new dealerships. Free Roam maybe just on GT6 for me. And about the Open Road rules. PD just need to create the road work with the right "rules"(i don't know the correct word instead of rules...lol).

Anyway, is the same thing when you drive an car with right or left position. European cars has left drive positions while American cars has right drive positions.

You are in the GT6 forum.

I still want a free roam mode for GT6. I have SOOOOO many ideas for it, trust me. O.O

 

[DriftEmotion FC]

Yes i do BUT nothing to just NFS/Forza Horizon it needs to be like a little town and a parking lot for team meets, Explanation: your team whats to discuss a new color or just want to see were the team is going, go to a lounge put the track on the little town or area cruise to the parking lot and have a convo, or for the people that have JDM meets. Its a great place to trade chill and just relax and meet new people

oh...I forgot that...lol ....

I would LOVE free roam in GT6. The idea of it just sounds absolutely wonderful. However, I don't think that it should be considered a priority. What I mean is, I don't think PD should focus on that until they have all the cars, tracks, engine sounds, etc. finished. Once all the important stuff is complete, then they can get to work on the free roam, and anything else in that category. But all in all, free roam would be amazing.

DANG-NABBIT! tired of double posting

It might be more open roads like Horizon. But I have a FEELING that it'll all be open to drive on. This is PD we're talking about. They're going to go above and beyond if an open world/free roam system is in place.

what if GT home.. is free roam mode.. you have a Trailer / warehouse you drive to for your car collection , race info etc...
an air port for photo mode
a gas station / maintenance shop for repairs..
And ITS ALL OPTIONAL

Yeah, we've been dreaming about that ever since we first saw GT2's world map.

I'd like something a little more driving oriented, though; city driving is OK, but I'd prefer an open network of "proper" driving roads.

 

[ZZ-II]

Yup,something like that would be perfect.

A free roam with a city, an highway, nature with a mountain and offroad parts and a small race track for testing.
Also a gas station, a workshop, a tuning shop, a paint shop and your home with an underground garage for all cars.

But no need for a extrem big free roam, since the main focus of the game is still the racing on tracks arround the world

There's no need to arbitrarily limit it like that; why add a race track to free roam / open mode specifically, when the game has lots of circuits?

Unsurprisingly, I still like my course-creator tracks linking circuits / cities / photo locations idea. The clue is in the game already, I think: Grand Tour in Special Events.

I meant just a small track like motorland in GT4, not one of the big world curuits.

 

[Griffith500]

I think they should all be incorporated into the "free roam".

That would be a bit difficult i think

 

[karelpipa]

When the main game and all of its bugs and mistakes are completely done and gone. Yes they can do free roam... But everytime you can use time better than making a free roam (new tracks).

As much as i would like to seea free roam in GT6, but you're right. A big amound of tracks is more important. We need new real tracks, maybe 1 or 2 new GT tracks and definitely all of the missing tracks from GT4. Most of the players are especially missing midfield, el captain and seattle! Not to forget costa di amalfi and cita di ari....

 

[Griffith500]

That would be a bit difficult i think

But worth pursuing. I'm not talking about storing the entire planet on disk here, I mean to leverage the potential in the course creator to allow a procedurally-created (but not necessarily "random") network of driving roads to exist between locations modeled for the game.

I've already said all of this, so I'll try to keep it short: the Grand Tour is a great example of where I'm coming from. It's almost possible with the content that's in GT5, plus the "alps" course that's been seen in a few videos, to do what I've described for the Grand Tour itself. The part between Siena and San Gimignano is already handled by a point-to-point course creator track, and the following Toscana dirt course is only a glorified course creator track in itself (there's no reason they couldn't have made a gravel rally out of the Toscana theme, it was seen in the GT5 E3 teaser a year before release).

What will be difficult is making all of this "seamless", but if we don't expect too much on that front, and especially on theme transitions and approaching "locations", then I think it could work if it doesn't displace the traditional menu, or at least does interesting things with the menu (e.g. the game streams into your starting location, where you were last, perhaps, like the main-menu demos, and everything is overlaid on that in a streamlined / sensible / useful interface - you can either just get in the car, drive out of the photomode location, and onto a procedural course and head for the next destination on optionally shortened pieces of road, or use the menus to find your next race as normal.)

I don't know that PD would do it like that, but I expect some form of open, procedurally-generating driving "content" to be present in the next game, it's been more than hinted at already.

Good point indeed!

Like that small preview of cars driving around in that small white city from the main menu, as if that was their concept of how it would like?

Well, that's something perhaps, along with Kaz straight-up saying he wanted to add a city / free driving mode (which is where this thread came from), plus all the superfluous collision modeling on SSR7, etc.

 

[xlsound]

i voted no, i hate the free roam idea and don't want this game turned into a midnight club or a nfs most wanted game.
Keep the game real add official competicions wtcc,gtc, etc.. no more standard cars(i prefer to have less cars and all premium then have 1000 stardard cars when most people don't heve run with 100 of them, theres so much better things to put in this game than a free roam that will ruin the image of the series, at least its what i think

 

[Youngun]

I think i would want it for the freedom of not being told to turn left or turn right, racing point to point in my road car leaving track cars for tracks. Or the ability to drift round a city legally and selecting your own route. Dragging red light to red light. Meeting up in car parks for races or even just driving in a road car to a track switching to a race car to race. Even adding the whole city as a Photomode location so sky line, buildings, billboards, street lights (at midnight) for picture. It may not be an original Gran Turismo thig but everything evolves, wouldn't hurt to try. Maybe add some fun modes to, to expand and split to game up a bit, race race race race gets a bit repetitive after a while.

Plus if there were to be a free roam city, Kaz and PD wouldn't have worry about expending it because most of the focus will be on racing outside the city. Meaning the city can be the new GT Live mode but us free roaming in it without having to update the city. The updates will mostly focus on fixing bugs/glitches and also adding spec update.

Yes...... Drive to airport to fly to tracks, drive to garage for repairs and maintenance, drive to shop for performance and aero enhancements, drive to petrol station for fuel (makes it more of a simulator then), spray shop for new colour, drivers house for stats checking, internet cafe for online lobbies (meeting place wen driving online), multi-storey/underground car park to show off there cars with set ups displayed , a track for custom track/event creations, and finally, an empty dealership spot where people can show and sell there cars.

An actual city with places to go, maybe even a mini-game here and there (drift a roundabout or drag a set of lights in a certain time). But the only update would be the virtual DLC store with the new content.......

Yes, that's what I think the new GT Life mode should be like. The air port should also have a "Photo Travel" feature too, so we can fly to certain countries to take photos of our cars and avatars.

I was also thinking there should be a GTTV building at the centre area for news and information, even updates. 👍

Simply said, you understand nothing of what this thread or what a GT-style free roam is about.
