The VGT idea was great for the first few years. I was genuinely excited to see what car manufacturers would dream up in the game (I’m a big fan of concept cars in general). But once they’ve gone through all the major manufactures, I’ve kind of lost interest. Now it’s used more as a marketing tool for manufacturers and PD than anything else (expanded to include non automotive brand for example).
PD can do what they want, but as a GT fan since the very first game, I just gloss over these announcements and move on (except this time I felt compelled to comment for the first time in ages haha).
So many other brands are under represented in the game, so many newer cars missing (including race cars), so many tracks are missing. That should be the focus, maybe it is for GT8, but still just makes you wonder why so much priority and resources are being given to this project. But it’s a good marketing tool so it’s here to stay, I’ll continue to play the game of course!
