Why? Because they actually know how to read maps?

[wifey]Men... they never ask for directions... [/wifey]

I'm surprised nobody else wants this... I wholeheartedly agree that it would be a fantastic addition... as long as we get long point-to-point stages... or even if we don't.

I'm game... as long as the guy has a Scottish accent. :D

lol. They will lead me into the bushes.. hope they have sexy lady navigators in the vehicle and I can keep panning to look at them :drool:
 
I think a talking navigator option would be nice, as long as it's an option to turn it off or on.
It could get a little tedious at Daytona or the Motegi Oval...

"Turn left, turn left, tur..."

It would be cool if you could talk to the navigator via the PS Eye. I think that it has a microphone, it would be cool, for example, you can ask him questions such as "how longer untill we finish?", or "whats my current speed(if you are looking at the road, not your dashboard or hud), or even "do you want to have a coke after the race?"

I voted yes but I would also like a toggle option.

Could you imagine hearing Bob-Spec talk?

Imagine a point to point race around twice the length of the Nurburgring that you have never raced before.

Serious enough?

The feature could just be arrows on the screen, it worked in some of the earlier rally games i've played. But we definetly need something like it for WRC.

I would practice the track several times before a major race.

The last thing I would want to hear during an intense race is "Left turn ahead - slow down."

Somebody talking to me while I am trying to concentrate is mind-numbing! :sly:

More like "100 right into caution into crest into easy left easy right into crest to fjord." In a real rally stage you need a co-pilot's notes in order to, survive!:lol: But in a circuit there's no use for a co-pilot, the average driver has no problem learning a circuit within a few laps.
 
only for point to point rally races. which are by far the best rally events.
 
As long as its not as epic fail like the navigators from NFSUG2-Carbon,i don't mind.But I'd definitely rather have a track map.

I'll buy you a beer for that one :cheers:.

Agreed.
 
No need for a Back Seat Driver ...

the Female Navigator can wait for me at the finish line or at the Hotel/Motel ;)
 
Why not.. What exactly does the Rally CO-Drives say?
And Besides, It won't be too hard to record all of the RALLY STAGES corners.. lets say 5 -10 stages at first release.. thats only around 100 - 200 corners, so 100-200 voice lines PD has to record, in reality its not even that much.
Also as long there is a ON and OFF button.. every one leaves happy

Actually, they wouldn't even need to record that many. They could use a procedural technique where they simply give each corner a severity and whatever other info is needed, then the co-driver would put together the variables and say the two items needed (5 right or whatever). It might sound a bit unnatural, and doesn't account for unique dialogue (such as "don't cut, rock inside") and the like, but it would work great.

Imagine if we have a track creator, this would allow for those that make dirt tracks to not have to worry about people running into problems finding the turns.

Oh yeah true, even better technique 👍
 
Navigators and Sat Navs are for dumb so n so's that don't know where they're going. So I voted no.

Yeah, try telling that to Sébastien Loeb before he hits a rally stage.
 
Maybe there will be a talking co-pilot/navigator if there is a Track Editor. There will be more than one route in this "20 pieces of scenery" so a navigator may tell you which turn to take.
 
Yes, when they call it a simulator, it should have talking navigator. Rally stages are very long and it's necessary. Every good rally game had it. Or do they want to slur the rally part again?
 
In my opinion- it comes down to this. Use the navigators on tracks where it is absolutely necessary. On tracks that aren't, short and fantasy tracks, you shouldn't add them. To actually simulate that we are at a WRC event, then they should add them to "simulate the real driving experience."

Makes sense in my book. If you don't like them, then add the option to disable them- simple!

lol..I'll ask him if i ever meet him why they need a nav.

Sorry, but it sounds like you don't know dick about rally racing. :lol: We are not talking about GPS navigation computers here, you know? ;)

But to answer the question; as long as we have real WRC rally stages, of course! 👍 Nicky Grist FTW! :D
