Official "Idea's" Thread

[Iceman]

Instead of making new threads everytime you get this great idea about how GT4 should be, post it in here. The board is becoming very cluttered and it would help everyone find what they are looking for.

 

[TheCracker]

I think GT4 should be... out in the shops for this weekend!

 

[Robin]

Idea for the intro...............PD should do something like the intro in concept, the original Japanese version........I don't know if any one saw this versions intro.......It was a Skyline GTR Concept driving through a forest at night and it was raining......it looked amazing and the music was great!!! That is what GT5 will look like . The European verison had a SL driving around a runway or somthin???

PD should have a dvd graphicated intro (super high quality) unlike just in game footage.....it would give the game a lead in which would be truely amazing!

Robin

 

[Iceman]

That would be sweet, and maybe they could include some real video footage of cars.

 

[usernamed]

Haven't we seen alot of "not-in-game" graphics? Pit crew, the flag guy in New York, there was also a Rally vid that had the crowd really animated.

 

[Robin]

Yeah...but Im talking about a whole graphicated intro sequence.....with unbelieveable graphics (like I said earier with the GTR Concept in the forest).....That Pit Crew, the helicopter, the flag guy.......stuff like that looks amazing...they need more!!!!!

 

[Nemo2]

the only issue would be the space issue, the higher quality the intro is the less space they have for the actual game. But i am looking forward to the intro more than ever, so id have to agree with you...

 

[Darin]

I got a Idea.

How about this:

The Guys at
POLYPHONY DON'T KNOW YOU EXIST
Thread.

 

[Robin]

Hmmmm......the funny thing is........

PD DO KNOW HOW TO USE COMPUTERS.....AND THE INTERNET AND PROBABLY CHECK OUT FORUMS LIKE THIS ONE FOR IDEAS SO THAT THEY CAN GIVE THE PUBLIC WHAT THEY WANT!!!!!!!!!

Besides......people are hear to discuss......whether or not it matters to PD......notice the "ideas" word at the top of this thread.......

I strongly doubt they would come to this forums and look at ya'll idiots post bull****.

Yeah. You are seeing 'ideas' from me.

 

[GT-One Lover]

....u always make other people DOWN and want to destroy their phantasy and ideas so plzz let the people be!!!
...they just want to express how GT4 should be so this IS a thread to write what´s going through ur head when u think of GT4!...or at least how it should be!


for me their should be a special mode in which u could save "the ghost of other players"(from the internet for example)!
perhaps it sounds a bit crazy but imagine:
there´s a friend of u who´s really good (perhaps better than u) and he goes on holiday and u NOT!so what can u do?...u can practise with the GHOST OF this player to see how good he is and how he drives!

You know, you left me speechless...

You can do that in GT3. Go into Free Run, Do a good lap save it. Get a sharkport, transfer over to the computer. The post it on the net.

I'll retract this if I really wind up raining on a parade, but most of the sensible ideas that have been raised so far have been dealt with pretty comprehensively, and wind up linked in the GT4 section guide usernamed maintains.

This thread is doomed because:
- Nothing can stop new members inanely posting threads.
- Trying to concatenate all discussion of ideas into one thread doesn't really help unclutter the board - we just get one uber cluttered thread.

Basicly. Terminiate this thread.

Which can be done.

 

[Jenna Jamerson]

For goodness sake WTF are you guy's doing here. All you do is moan and complain about other peoples posts. If you want us to bump up 6 month old threads you would moan about newbies doing that. !!!

Seriously if you or this board can't handle a few discussions about a product we are all extremely passionate about go elsewhere. Cause unless PD release new info or news we don't have anything else to discuss.

Now for my worthwhile controbution to this thread.....

I would love to see lap records kept for individual cars. If I took a mini around the "NURB" and set my best time ( in a mini ) I don't want my GT40 time to delete my mini time.

 

[Uncle Harry]

The ring in a mini would surely be a maxi time not a mini time!

 

[Iceman]

That would be nice to be able to download replays via the internet, and i am pretty sure that this will be a part of GT4.

 

[Eagle]

Well we can already transfer them via an Xport atm, be nice if they cut that step out for us.

 

[Iceman]

The only problem would be when someone uses someone elses superfast replay as their own, using it to justify their times on sites such as rcing line and gt3 times.

 

[Eagle]

It's pretty obvious if you have an identical lap to another established time. I've run two consecutive midfield laps within 6 thousandths of each other before but I'd better the analyser times would be clearly different around the lap.

 

[Iceman]

With so many people playing the only way to truly verify a lap would be to have the game somehow make each replay identifiable by the original racer.

 

[ToyotaDrifter]

Hmm.. sounds like an idea. then they can save it to a site...that holds all replays from each member and people can be able to download then people can watch them there too

just like driver 3

 

[Eagle]

Adding an individualised driver signature to files would be the way to go, but how do you verify that? I mean essentially anything that's purely software controlled can be edited, right down on the hex/binary level, I wonder if DNAS might do the trick.

 

[Iceman]

What is DNAS, may I ask?

 

[FuryX21]

Here's an idea:

Bring back the event generator from GT2 but expand upon it. Have the option of entering your car in an event and letting the computer pick cars equal to yours OR pick the cars that the AI races against. Be able to set up everything, from the number of laps to how fast each car is.

 

[Jalpa]

How about a Developer's Kit? You could buy the program for $50.00 or something. Then you could make entirely new cars. Say you wanted a Ferrari Enzo. You could make the mesh of one in the mesh section of the program, then move onto the engine, giving Horsepower, what mods you can do, and how they affect the car. Then you would move onto the drivetrain and put in the custom rims and such, and how the tires and mods change the handling, then finally go to the textures and engine sounds part and put in the paint gloss and available colors.

I can think of at least three problems, though.
(1)- It would be very time consuming.
(2)- I'm not sure of it's legality (with copyright issues).
(3)- I'm not sure where the heck the files would be stored (PS2 HDD?).

 

[Eagle]

Doable - won't happen. Legal reasons would kill it, hybrid/cheating reasons would be the other nails in the coffin.

DNAS is the Dynamic Network Authentication System developed by Sony for individually identifying each PS2 based off the hardware. I believe it's similar to the MAC (Media Access Control?) address built into each network card produced - each one features a completely unique and fixed address allowing machines to be easily identified in a manner that can't readily be circumvented.

 

[rico13]

I have a question. Would any of u like endurance racing online or just a quick race?

 

[Eagle]

Enduro's all the way. I'm gonna get Blake and we'll go 24 hours in stints against anyone else game.

 

[Iceman]

I love enduros, but not 24 hours.....
