So, let's say first off you aren't completely sold on the cafe system etc...and you were in charge at PD when the game was being designed - what would you have done differently?
Now, I know there will be some Gran Turismo purists who feel certain things aren't true to the history and ethos of PD vision.
But, I feel like it could have benefited from a more conventional campaign.
I would have the game starting with a license test that you complete, and then you gain access to a series of championships.
They could be similar in nature to the current system, so Japanese hot hatch then American muscle cars etc...
You win each mini championship of 2 or 3 races, are rewarded with a car, then you move to the next tier of license tests and repeat.
Each tier becomes progressively more challenging, with the reward becoming better and better.
You'd also have one off invites where there's an opportunity to win top tier prizes that are among the most expensive in the game.
The tuning system would be there, but the multiplayer and daily races wouldn't allow the current exploits, obviously.
After completing all license tests and the subsequent championships you are then invited to a series of ultra competitive events which have various extra challenges like hit track markers at the apex, or get 3 laps in q row each faster than the one before, get the fastest lap, all stuff to earn extra credits, and give rewards for clean racing etc...the usual that is already on offer in some ways.
There would also be daily invites that would offer you the chance to race the classic cars and give you the chance to win parts and exclusive livery items.
You could win a different part each day, like engine day one, body day two, wheel day three etc...and if you log in everyday and win all the challenges on day 5 you get enough parts to build the whole car.
Ultimately, this isn't an especially original departure from standard racing game structure, but I think it would be more intuitive and engrossing than the current offering.
That being said, is there anything you'd like to see improved or done away with, a particular structure etc...?
