Senna content coming soon?

So wonderful. *v*

It is kinda too wide open for 1980s F1... Not much of a challenge to the driver. I prefer Nürburgring or Zandvoort over that course any day all day. I especially love the modern-day Spa.

True, although I do love the scenery.

I'm just making the point that these issues are more complicated than any of us know. It may seem simple to us but might be incredibly difficult on their end. As with the base model 97T, I can't think of many things I'd want more in GT6 than the old version of Spa, but I'm certainly not getting my hopes up. The updated versions of Brands Hatch and Monza are going to satisfy me quite nicely on the new track front, especially since both of them look more enjoyable than the current versions we have (IMO). If we get Interlagos and its kart track, I'll do a little dance. 👍

Indeed. I don't see the allure of base models myself anyway, without a livery editor the possibilities are extremely limited.

Old version of Spa in pCARS is public roads, no license required.

So is Monaco, but that also requires quite a bit of licensing (which is why we have an inaccurate version called 'Côte d'Azur')

For the name, only. The track could be as accurate as they like, they just haven't chosen to update it.

Well, it's slightly better than having everyone driving the same exact liveried car (something I kind of hate). While not perfect, it's been enough to keep me satisfied and more than I expected to get with this game. 👍

Edit: It's kind of like cheese pizza, it's not my favorite kind of pizza but it's still better than no pizza.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I'm surprised they didn't call it "Monte-Carlo."


Would that have been acceptable?

 

[SpeedyishOlly]

Considering they didn't call it that, I'm guessing no.

Nice but I would have preferred it to be laser scanned in its current public road form and added to the modern Spa track.

Two more weeks?

And that game likely got permission from the manufacturers to do so. PD also likely got permission from the manufacturers to make the base models. I'm not saying it would be a problem, but I'm certain it would require Lotus' (or whoever owns the rights) permission to alter such an iconic image/car.

I mentioned in one of my posts, the change of the name of the livery. I understand about the tabaco and liquor licensing. If we could at least type in appropriate names, that would also help.

 

[MatheusBond]

What do you mean 'appropriate names'? As in the names we typed in when we started the game going in the place of Ayrton's name?

the two reasons i would LOVE to have a base model! i wonder if they'll properly simulated the old F1 UBER drafting effect!



sorry but no. If you want to have a field of drivers that behave differently you need cpu power for each and all drivers on grid. If you just want a field of competitive cars you would not need much power or more effort of the AI gt6 already has. You should just tell them to RUN. Would it be more interesting or entertaining? Realistic AI takes lots of CPU power. And really ps3 has been already squeezed to the last bit.

I never said I wanted or expected that from PS3 hardware. I said PD could easily make them faster, not "smarter" or "human like" with things like aggression, revenge or stressed caused mistakes.

How could you say it wouldn't be more fun when compared to current AI ? You can't be serious or your expectations are WAY too high. It would "fix" the game. I don't need them Einsteins.

What you are describing have little chance of happening even on PS4.

 

[Samus]

We know the AI can go faster, just sit behind one for a while then overtake it and watch it get much, much faster. That's because they programmed it like that, a rubberband effect, also similar to the way GT5 B-Spec drivers worked.

All they need to do is make them faster all the time. Hopefully they can, and they're not going faster behind you because they're breaking the physics.

I've never done this myself, but others have reported that the AI is much more competitive if you go to arcade mode and set the laps to "unlimited" so it seems to me the potential is already in the game for better AI, it's just dumbed down for the "career mode". I think you're right, the PS3 is already more than capable of this, it just needs to be unleashed.

Nvmd.

 

[HuskyGT]

HA! Didn't I said it? Just two cars that are pretty much useless in the long term, and some TT's! Not even a single new track, for crying out loud! Those two "new" tracks are already in the game but just modified. PD laziness is off the charts!!

Seriously, if they can't handle the game anymore, why not sell the damn franchise to someone who will? I don't care who's in charge; I just want my Gran Turismo back!!

Team/Sponsor names. As in typing a name of your online team in place of John Player Special or Team Lotus Special. A ficticious name.

 

[axl54]

Yeah 10 mins gameplay all in prob. Still happy that they didn't go the PD half assed route of trying to tell some kind of narrative with a Gordonesque mannequin. Would have been icky and embarassing.

Main issue with that is that they are trying to avoid tobacco sponsorship. What would stop someone writing John Player Special!

I, for one, welcome our Senna mannequin overlord. "I am not designed to come second or third. I am designed to win. And to freak you out."

You want your Gran Turismo back? I think most people's problem with GT6 is that it hasn't evolved much at all in the last few iterations. So you've had it all along!

 

[eSZee]

Nothing. They are allowed to use a tobacco sponsorship just as PD is.

Let's see you change GT's Monza/Brands Hatch to an accurate historical version then... think of the research alone that has to go into that, even without having seen the final results.

Ah, the good old "you can't do better, so don't complain".

I haven't seen that one for at least a day or two.

 

[Furinkazen]

Senna's F3 RALT was just confirmed. See Senna's opening movie under "Special Events" - shown just after the kart.

They added that during the maintenance?

Yes, that was a pleasant surprise.
