Let's get realistic for a second, PD. A Nissan GT-R stock cannot, will not out perform a Ferrari 599 on any track. Since when does a 600 hp Ferrari have less performance points than a 400hp Nissan? Seriously, Fuji 750 is mobbed by GT-Rs. Let's stop being bias towards the home team and give other makes a chance.

Clearly you guys don't know the GTR.

I just started playing the Historic GT mod and the physics/sounds are great. (I found away around to having to buy rFactor/activation code).
PD, why can't you create a physics engine like pc sims? GT5p still feels some what arcadish/gamish compared to Historic GT and that after more than 10 years of development. Shame on you PD!

If GT5's physics will not become better, than it is bye, bye GT series for me personal.

Yesterday, I tried to lock up the front wheels of the F430 which isn't difficult if you don't have ABS and you have set the front brakes at 10 (S1 tires). I was still able to control and steer the car, when you lock up the front wheels. This and other issues about GT5p's physics engine are major flaws! If this was possible IRL, then we wouldn't need ABS on our cars!

Good, One less complainer.
 
3.) Free roam city "tracks".[/QUOTE]

I like the idea

Just cruise in a city with you new car, meet people in a huge online lobby?


1) modification damage e.g brakes wear down and need replaced and stuff.

2) Headlights or horn annoy people, get peoples attention, or use the Initial D blind attack! Oh indicators too :P

3) Weather, night tracks great to drive for a more fun time.

4) Flashy neon lights make yourself PIMP :lol: no

5) Custom driver? Change appearance?

6) Penalties sytem redo it NOW

7) WHOLE Top Gear test track (airfield) Use the runway as a drag strip and use the track for racing etc.

Unlikely but ah well :)

So you will say bye to GT series because you can't lock up the front wheels???

We have to complain or GT series will stay the same for years. ;)

Haha, don't underestimate the GTR, watch some videos on how the GTR was conceived, this car is too good.

I was on fastest laps last week comparing Suzuka to the GT5P game and how it is far off from reality on sport tyres. GTR comes with sport tyres, but its only prologue and its very hard to scale and translate real scenario to a console game. Just a quick test though, just initial impression. I think the game will change (hopefully) for GT5 and Nurbergring comparisons, its just beta.

WOW I seriously didnt know the gtr, how does the thing go so fast and beat all those other cars around suzuka.
It beat the f40/f50 and the carrera gt ?!?!? wow.
 
Good request, 2nd place man could be a steady 3 seconds behind you, where 3rd place is closing him down by 2 seconds a lap. Nice to know you've got to put your foot down.
 
i want the people that bumpu from the back wen you are coming into the turn to b penelized, im tired of these guys running into us then loosing all of these positions just to try and play around in the sandtrap to get out. i hate people that bump its annoying as heck. IF YOU SUCK AT DRIVING AND CANT WIN THATS FINE BUT DONT RUIN IT FOR EVERYBODY BELSE BY TAKING THEM OUT, YOUR LIKE LITTLE GIRLS GETTING MAD, YOU GOTTA TAKE IT OUT ON EVERYONE ELSE.
 
The GTR 'Ring time has been mentioned as being a bit suspect in Autocar - something to do with it being fitted with 'special' tyres.

Obviously it's a very potent car, but I'll take a GT3 RS instead please... speed and efficiency aren't everything... I'd rather have a bit more soul.
 
Penalties should be more severe when ramming someone. These bunch of a-holes only remember to brake after they hit you and put you in the sand. Hate it when ppl dont have a sense of competion.
 
1. Private servers. I want to be able to mess with every setting too. I want the option to choose what type of cars are allowed, what tyres, what track, what amount of laps, wheel/controller only, type of internet connection allowed etc.

I want to be able to make lan/offline servers, please don't make it online only. I want to be able to choose more than one track at a time and set up a tournament ie. 3 laps on Nurburgring then 10 laps on Suzuka etc. You should get a certain amount of points for 1st place/2nd place/3rd place/4th place etc and it will show everybodys placing after each race, with a a final standing at the end of the tournament.

2. The ability to map whatever button on the controller to whatever function I want. If I want to make the right stick contol the view I should be able to.

3. Porsche, Lamborghini and some Australian cars too.

4. Adding day/night transitions as well as weather effects is a must. I believe it would be more worthwhile implementing these features rather than spending the time building up a huge track list. Having so many different ways to play a single track (ie. Suzuka: reversed, midday, cloudy or standard, early morning, thunderstorms or standard, sunset, fine etc) would not only keep each track from getting stale visually, but also add an endless amount of depth to the gameplay (wet weather driving, different levels of visibility, choice of tyres etc). In other words, do more with less.

4a. Of course adding all of the stuff I mentioned in point 4 isn't even worth considering if you don't add the ability to turn headlights and windscreen wipers on/off. I expect PD to pull out all the graphical stops with this stuff too, working pop up headlamps on cars that have them, realistic reflections, totally awesome in car view with moving windscreen wipers when it's raining.

5. Fuel consumption.

6. Tyre wear.

7. I want to be able to change the colour/style of my number plate and put my name on it if I want to.

8. In the full game I want the save files to be locked (uncopyable). This will mean that only the best/most commited players will get to have all of the cars and it will open the game up for betting your own cars/credits against other people online.
 
Yes fuel consumption was implemented in GT4 and it would be great to have it in GT5, Weather effects and actual time passing in game...day goes to night while racing etc.
PD rules! ;)

The tire issue was just a rumor when Nissan first announced the ring time right after the launch of the car, which had already been dismissed. See the following Autocar article regarding the ring time of the production GT-R.

"The new Nissan GT-R has smashed the production car lap record at the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn announced that a production version of the GT-R driven by Tochio Suzuki posted a lap time of 7min 29secs during testing last week, nine seconds quicker than the previous test.

Ghosn confirmed that the time means the GT-R, a base-spec Japanese car running with revised chassis settings, has delivered on one of its original design objectives: to be the “fastest production supercar” in the world.

“This proves that Nissan can compete against anyone,” he said.

The news gives an interesting perspective on unofficial timings of a Skyline GT-R V-Spec prototype caught testing at the Nordschleife, where observers suggested it was lapping in around 7min 25secs. This news means that the production GT-R V-spec is likely to be even quicker than those figures suggest. "

[source: http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/Nissan-GT-R/232532/]

If someone were to give either a GT-R or GT3 RS to me for free, I will pick the Porsche for sure. However if I have to buy it with my own money, I will buy the GT-R and bank the 50K USD difference.

That's the original Autocar article... which was superseeded by a column Steve Sutcliffe wrote (about manufacturers massaging 'Ring times in general) in which he basically called Nissan out for using non-standard tyres on the GTR to get the 7.29 time.

Thats the whole point of them ramming you, so they can use you as a brake.

If you can provide a link, I would love to read about it. Did he "think" they are massaging the time or does he have proof? Just wondering.

One thing I know about Fastestlaps.com is many Porsche drivers are calling any time done by a GT-R that beats a Porsche BS; So Fastestlaps.com are very careful when they log GT-R's time to their site.

To think that Nissan would cheat about their ring time really doesn't make sense to me as it is something that can be easily tested by a legit source like SportAuto.

P.S. I am neither a GT-R fanboy nor a Porsche fanboy.

The article was one of Steve's weekly columns (following on from him taking over from Chris Harris)... Autocar web site doesn't have copies of this column unfortunately.

I will admit to being a Porsche fanatic, but I'll also admit that the GTR is a wonderful piece of engirneering. Whatever tyres Nissan fits to the GTR (short of a set of cheap remoulds) it's probably going to be faster than the GT2, never mind the GT3 RS... the 430 Scuderia seems to be the only 'road car' that can give it any sort of a challenge on the track, and that's 3 times the price.

But I'll still take analogue over digital given free choice.

I'd like an option for the cars to be ghosts all the time.
