Would you like to race under varying conditions?

Oh okay and I also forgot to mention that could it be that some of these tracks are not open at night therefore they don't have a proper lighting system for night racing or something like that?
 
I would also like to see my car in 80mph crosswinds and perhaps even the occasional tornado!..:nervous:

Something like that. But what I actually meant is the building's lighting (e.g. windows, billboards, signs, etc.), the streetlights, car's headlights and taillights, and other light-orienting fixtures and objects, like flash cameras some spectators possess. All of that has to be corrected as time flies by.

I figured you were talking about billboards and things like that but that question I asked was my own, I wasn't referring to yours. 👍
 
I truly don't know how difficult or easy it would be especially considering the rendering of real-world tracks. On the Original tracks it's really a PD create there they can do it anyway they want to. Should be the easiest; just guessing here.

Oh, lol.

Can't quite read the 2nd sentence very well :P But anyways, I'm not sure, either. The posts I posted earlier are just mere assumptions, or so you say, theories. But If PD really did wanted to plant the capabilities on every/majority of the tracks, then they would go through the process I mentioned earlier If they wanted the track's world to behave realistically and as to its real-life counterpart. Plus, they have to worry how the rest of the game will perform generally once these features are ready & added. The game already performs quite badly since the helmets and suits were added, and will go even worse if those features were added as well. Could be manipulated in some way to reduce consumption and data sizes, or just release it as DLC, but as I said, I'm no expert.
 
It would be nice to see something like that. I mean, there are a lot of real tracks that they CAN add, more that we can imagine being a first party studio in Sony.

So, meanwhile it would be great to see some real updates to the game. We need to add this petition, if it has not been add already, to the feedback section.

Big hug.

Eager Snake.

Just say that it should be easy to add the "Original" tracks like High Speed Ring; because PD created them. They can add lighting, etc..where they choose to.
 
It depends on how PD modeled the tracks and how their lighting models work, and all sorts of other 3D things I'm not up on anymore. I definitely want them to do it, but I think it's more than a copy paste job.

Also, I've been playing GT since the first one and it would be great to see any of the special stage routes during the daytime finally. Seems like a small thing, but it still would be great to me. It would also create more variety in the races. Trial mountain at night, in reverse (!)
 
LOL! 20-0-0 when I voted. You either have some weather and time changeable or none. Same with the premium and standard cars - should be all or none.

I'd rather have some than none.

And those are the only actual options. There is no option for 1000 premium cars in GT5. Just isn't possible. They can't reticence some of the cars, and the money and time just wasn't there.

They can't just flip a switch and make all the tracks night and weather. That would be cool, but in reality they have to spend tons of time on it.

Sure, some will pretend there was enough time that it's totally unacceptable that GT5 didn't manage the impossible. People who have never created anything even 1% as awesome as this game.

So what?

It still wasn't possible.

If I have to choose between some premiums and none, I'll take some. The next GT will probably have much more content. That's what happened with GT2 and GT4.

Cote at night would be amazing. In the rain, it would be horribly challenging and I'd surely enjoy it.

But it's actually quite good as it is, too. And I know, for sure, that most of the people complaining would still complain no matter what the game was like. That's how games are now. People clamor to explain the obvious. Of course the game would be better with more premium cars and tracks and options. No kidding. I'm much happier with GT5 for leaving in hundreds of standards than just including the premiums they were able to include (Which is a very large number, btw).

Zero tolerance is silly.

I don't think anyone has uttered the first complaint. This is about wow wouldn't that be REALLY cool! Call it a wish list. And the question really is what would it take to do that. I don't know? Do you? Are you not enjoying some of the comments and ideas and thoughts being generated here? Trial Mtn? Corte at night and really challenging in the rain!? I am!

I guess PD can plant the capabilities to those instead of planting on the real-life tracks, if that's what you're saying.

So this thread is pretty much a wishlist?
 
You could adjust the brightness and backlight on your TV until you can just barely see a picture...voila all races at night!
 
You can change the weather on a randomly generated track cause I remember trying a corner on my track in the rain so it's not like they haven't got some sort of computer engine that can detect what the rain would be like on specific corners of a random track.

In a sense it's a wish list. I wish all or most of the tracks could do it. But really want to know how easy or hard it would be to achieve. I'm sure they're is a software engineer here somewhere that could answer that.

Yeah, uh, huh! :)

That is TRUE! So weather should be a capability already on ALL the tracks! Night really takes lighting effect that's probably harder.
 
Why doesn't all versions of le sarthe, nurburgring, Monza & special stage (tokyo) have weather and/or time change. It cant be too hard with them all having a variation with either rain or time change

I'm pretty sure each is a distinct track file. Each one of the Nurburgrings is different. Monza on the other hand is just one simple and very slight mod between tracks. I'd think Monza should be easy to change.
