Bikes in GT

All I can think of is taking a bike online and coming across some 12 year old with a Tank Car. I'd die!!! You want me to die?!
 
If they can put go-karts in, there's no reason bikes can't be in too.

How do you figure? A go kart has 4 wheels, behaves like a small car. Motorcycles are very different.

Besides (and it's been mentioned in this thread already) but cars and bikes don't generally race together so why put them in the same game? We have already seen how the addition of new content can detract from the development of existing features (AI, sound...) why not leave bikes for a separate game?
 
Regardless of how you feel, I would be TERRIFIED to be on a bike on open lapping days on the Nurburgring.

When I was there, the bikes were of course incredibly fast on the straights but slow in the corners, slower than my rented Mercedes 190.

GT should be cars only, but I wouldn't mind a Tourist Trophy 2 to be honest.

I ride my Kawasaki ER6 around the Ring. Its awesome and terrifying at the same time. The closeness to the track is on a whole different level than in a boxed up car. Sadly your not only closer to the track, but also death since many car drivers don't know how a bike differs from a car in track driving. They tend to forget that bikes have to lean a bit, so I had some bad panic moments where I had a car pull next to me but too little comfort space to get a decent lean into the turn. I gave up on trying to "push" the bike too much, 72hp just dosn't cut it to get the necessary "speed respect" from others. Every lap still is pure pleasure thought.
 
I think Cars and Bikes could live together in a GT game without problems.

Just make good rules for them to race equally and that's ok... as it exists in the real world. Why not?

Lap timing the ring in a car together with a friend in a bike, it would be a blast. I can't understand why people vote no? More content = AWESOME.

For online, just make restricted rooms... cars only, bikes only, cars + bikes.


Everyone wins.
 
If we can have a moon series, then bikes to me are certainly not out of the question. I would LOVE TT2, but would definitely not be opposed to them just being added to GT6. The updated graphics engine and tire physics would be really neat to test on a fast bike. A series where bikes raced against cars to see which was better sounds fun too.
 
Planes, boats, bicycles, skateboards, roller-blades, trains, trucks, buses - come on PD you're not even trying :sly:

In all seriousness though - yeah why the hell not ? 👍:cheers: PGR4 while arcade racer can give an idea how cool it is.

But first we need so many other aspects sorted/fixed I can't see PD assigning even minuscule coding-work-force to this.
 
I think 99% of the people who bought GT6 will have finished playing it before the course creator and supposed improved engine sound updates ever get released. If they added motorcycles to it as well we'd still be playing GT5 with a GT6 release date rumored for sometime late this year.

So no, I don't think they should add them.
 
Considering Tourist Trophy came out on the PS2 it sure would be nice to see him do a follow up. One thing I'm pretty sure of, if he replaced Nurburg Ring with the Isle of Man modeled to the same level of detail, the bike fans will be throwing money at Kaz.

Keep the 'Ring though.
 
Don't forget these

This one already has a GT4 model as good at the Auto Union car.
Well the 2 I posted are considered bike here, even though we cant have the Morgan 3 wheeler.
You need a bike license and a helmet to drive any kind of trex around here.
 
Sorry, I still can't see any valid arguments from any of you on why we shouldn't have bikes in GT6. I keep hearing Tourist Trophy 2 this, Tourist Trophy 2 that. If they do release a TT2, do some of you not realize what they're going to do is use the same engine, tracks, and content as they did with GT4 and TT? For one, it wasn't much of a success at only 600k something. Two, we're already complaining about delays or whatnot, and you'd rather them pour dedicated resource time away from GT and into a bike game itself with unique tracks and content? Three, all you're doing is really paying for the bike models, not necessarily a game itself. When I played TT, everything felt the same as GT4 (content, music, U.I, etc.). Back then was an exception because games couldn't be updated and DLC wasn't possible.

I don't see what's the harm in putting them together. Like Karts and F1s, they can easily be classed in career mode and completely separate from regular road cars. Online, we can easily make restrictions. I'd rather have them in one disc, rather than having to change discs/game to just enjoy bikes along the same content and U.I. I can't imagine how frustrating it would be if I want to drive a car around Nurbrugring, then as soon as I feel like hotlapping with bikes, I'd have to switch disc just to ride it around the SAME track, as oppose as to just going to the garage.

As for TT2 being more profitable? Think again because you have to think about distributing costs, retail share, and marketing, as oppose to a simple add-on on Sony's own PSN. Of course I'd rather have them free, but with all the demand of TT2, they'll probably charge us as DLC if bikes were to be incorporated to GT.
 
I think they should do a prototype bikes event in the special events. Just import stuff from TT and get it running. I think it would be worth it.
 
I'd rather have a proper TT 2 (which I wouldn't buy)

I think GT has more than enough focussing on cars.
 
If they put Bikes in the Granturismo series it will be a sad,sad day.
If you want that **** GO BUY A MOTORCYCLE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I like motorcycles. I like riding them on and off-road. I have even have a stunt 50 that I learn my wheelies and stunts on. But I wouldn't want them in GT just because I would know that it took development time away from the stuff that matters. They need more staff and the game needs more features and customization as it is. Adding bikes to the mix would just take away from the little growth we already get. So that's a big NO from me, and I really like motorcycles.

but there aren't any motorcycle games that are as good as TT. And I don't think PD should make two separate games. they should just add bikes to GT and make everyone happy.

Really? You think 57.5% against and 42.5% in favour of bikes in this game makes everyone happy?

The day motorcycles are added is the day I trade GT6 in. That will be the end of the franchise for me.
 
Bikes in GT? Well no thank you.
A more updated field of the Fia GT, DTM, Super GT, ALMS, Grand Am, Tudor USSC? YES PLEASE!!!
 
I don't want that, if PD want's they can bring back Tourist Trophy wich i loved also but for god sake no motorcycles in GT
