how hard to make a new racing event at each update?

[gregorius93]

this is probably a good idea for offline users like me. new racing events at each update. I'm so sorry for my bad english

 

[Downhill Dino]

Not hard at all, they do it every other week with seasonals.

I wish they would. I'm offline 99.9% other than to update. I can't experience racing against 11 AI cars for Cr. Sierra was the only update that gave us a new event. Meanwhile, Single races don't cut it for us offline users.

Not only that, but why almost every seasonal batch is the same. Why not add some twist from time to time. We get Vision GT car and with that only one event. I bet that most of users drive Vision cars only in these seasonals and forget about them. Maybe except uberGrinder Merc.

I'm not against these time trials but at least for some of Vision cars it would be cool to add something more.
Examples:

Silver bullets
Mercedes Vision GT
Race like licence test (full lap) test with 300SL, SL55, SLR and SLS

Golf meet-up
VW Vision GT
Race on Nordschleife or Materhorn like licence test (full lap) test with all Golfs avaliable in game

Bavarian racing
BMW Vision GT
Race on 24h Nurb like licence test (full lap) test with other BMW race cars (3-series)

SUV battle
Mitsubishi Vision GT
Race like licence test with that Dakar prototype. This one might be stupid and pointless.

GTR everywhere
Nissan Vision GT
Race like Sierra event with all GTRs in game. Preferably on Sierra as we have so many of them

Battle of... London
Aston Vision GT
Time trial on goodwood and London track race with One-77 with sick skills.

Toyota racing battle
Toyota Vision GT
Race like licence test (full lap) test on Suzuka 2014 with selected Toyota racing cars.

Star wars
Chapparal 2X
Race with other Chapparals at night.

Catching up with the legend
Mazda Vision GT
Race like licence test test with 787 at la Sarthe

Mini Festival
Mini Vision GT
Race on Brands Hatch like licence test (2-3 laps) test with all Minis available in game.

I don;'t have any ideas for Subaru and Infiniti now.

To add to all that we got supercool safety car that is useless for players that don't play online.
Why not add some special events like Safety car driver season.

1. Cote de Azure - Yellow flag
You lead a pack of Formula GT cars. As some of you know safety cars in F1 push quite hard, so you would have some time restrictions.

2. Nurburgring Horror
You lead a pack of GT3 cars on Nordschleife in heavy rain. You have to keep steady pace without going off the track. While you do that you pass one or two "accidents" - car crashed with company of other safety car as we don;t have medic cars.

3. Start your engines
You lead a pack of NASCAR cars on Daytona road course before rolling start. You have to keep very steady pace especially on oval section and get the hell out of there as soon as possible before they'll crash into your ass.

4. Le Mans restart.
Similar to 3rd one but at night on Le Mans with prototype cars.

All quality ideas that need time and testing, but in a timelapse of a week or two could be sorted out. It's ridicolous how little things in Gt could make wonders: instead of only one seasonal why not a championship like in gt5? or re utilize codes for other races with other cars ( i'd like a 24h on the ring whith sciroccos,golfs,meganes..) and stuff like this if you know what i mean

 

[Abraxas]

I'm aware that ideas for safety car would neesd some work, but I think no longer than a week including tests. I've developed some complex mods for GTA4 and it's not that hard when you have all assets available. Other events could be done in one day. We had those. Remember Mercedes Nurburgring driving school in GT5?

I have another one.

Holiday season fun in snow!
1. First snow this winter
Race on the Ring with snowfall. We all know that it's possible
2. Catch the first star
Race on SSR7 with snow. That's also already possible
3. Fun in snow
Race on Chamonix track

Agree , there's no offline event's for Midfield , Sierra (except the special event) and the Red Bull Ring , also there's so little rally events ...

According to Whistle Snap, it takes a few boundaries and some text strings.

According to me, there isn't anything to it. It's 3 variables and 9 text strings. A-Spec race? Now there's a list of opponents allowed.

So, not hard. Not even challenging. It takes me 40 minutes to replicate the code on C++.

I'm not a programmer or genius, but would it even take 5 minutes to set up an event using some sort of template/app/programme? Just thinking back to the GT5 hidden menu, I remember setting up plenty of races with individually hand picked AI and/or random selection between set PP levels, and all the other usual settings. Only took 2 minutes to set up and 3 minutes of testing to find out if the AI you've chosen make for a close race which could all be done in game. Wouldn't the only thing left to add be to add them as extra events in Career mode, create the menus and race description etc, which they likely have templates for as well?

Correct me if I'm talking a load of uneducated cockypop. Regardless, they could probably add dozens of new races in the space of a day's work and greatly extend the life and variety of the game, but they've simply decided not to.

 

[TheProRacer]

@Lewis_Hamilton_ No, don't doubt yourself, the GT5 secret menu is the same thing. However, that menu controls the internal code that scripts race boundaries.

Think of it this way; there is no menu, you must write ~260 lines of code. Add the menu back; you "edit" 15 lines of code.

Make sense?

Sorry to compare, but in forza 4 it was never ending championships. Starting from fwd eco cars to the LMP class. Infinite races and you could pretty much use one car until the GT races Or country specific races.

GT6 could have this rotisserie of championships. We have the tracks. Even the one make series of MX-5s could be made into a 16 car race with the MX5 TCs.
