One of the MAJOR things I miss from any previous GT incarnation is the replay functionality from gt3... They were jaw dropping from almost every camera angle...
I kinda miss the B-spec fast forward and B-spec mode on arcade mode.
Also I miss changing the wheels on all cars. Its annoying not being able to change the wheels on standard cars, especially when the stock alloys are quite ugly
I miss the B-Spec fast forward but more so the ability to combine A and B Spec in the longer races. Was great to be able to take over the wheel, and if this was combined with the Bobs you could end up with a proper endurance race team.
I also (as mentioned above) miss the flexibility of the replay controls.
Tyre wear was also more complex and realistic in GT4 (it doesn't seem to be very logical in GT5)
Also miss being able to upgrade brakes.
Other than that, little things perhaps some people miss, like the lap record tables in time trial, now you can't even delete particular times, only *all* of them, and it still only lists 10 top times when there are over 1000 cars in the game. Things like this are really the easiest things to fix or get right
The map layout for GT Mode. I thought arranging the dealerships and events by country was fantastic.
The Rally mode: although not 'true' rallying like they've got in GT5, the set tracks were much better than anything the course generator can throw up in this game. Costa di Amalfi and the Cathedral Rocks tracks were great.
The Tuner Village: A nice way of getting some bespoke tuning parts from different companies. If they had expanded on that, and gave different benefits for choosing different companies, it would've been a much more interesting tool than currently (plus it'd be another way of differentiating between two players cars...)
Wheel changes for all cars: This is all that I'd want really in terms of 'improvements' to the standard cars. We could change their wheels/rims in previous games, so why only Premiums now?
Old-style B-Spec: I have literally no interest in B-Spec as it is now, not for the prize cars or anything. It's totally boring and a waste of time imo. When I sit down behind my DFGT to play GT5 I don't think 'hmm, I'd rather watch a crap version of me scrape a win in an overlong race!'. The old B-Spec, where Bob was basically your driving partner in the team, being especially useful for endurance events where you desperately needed a break, was much better.

I miss the overall layout of GT4 but the neatest thing is the dealership races and the three used car lots. I think it would have been great to have four used car dealerships. 1 for older cars one for 90' etc one for newish cars 2000's etc and on for all race cars that how I would have made the dealerships personally
- Fast fowarding in replays
- How there was a "New Cars" section and "Old Cars" section in dealerships
- The real one-make races
- B-Spec fast-foward
- Qualifying
- Prize cars that are actually good
- Seattle Circuit
- Changeable wheels for all cars
- Tuner Village
- A good soundtrack
By far the biggest issue with GT5 (IMHO). I loved how you could select existing racing wheels from the in-game race cars (Such as the mazda speed wheels on the 787b that you could put on cars) which would appear on the wheels classified section. That was awesome.
For example, the R31 GTSR is an awesome looking car, but looks like crap with standard wheels. Below is a picture of mine from GT4 with Nismo LM wheels.
Others are:
-Not being able to change wheels on standard cars (this really sucks!!!)
-Fast forward in replays (lack of this sucks BIG time for photomode).
All other points are valid, but the above are the only things that really matter IMHO.
I miss a decent car selection, good soundtrack, race modifications (yes i know they are in but there is not enough of them) GRINDELWALD and other tracks, good rim selections and plenty of other stuff. With all that missing, I wonder what is the next step for the GT franchise..
GT1 = Ability to see the weight, Horse Power and tyres of the AI cars (if memory serves). Ability to qualify for all races.
GT2 = BHP Limits. A proper GT-Mode. Ability to practice for all races.
GT3 = A proper GT-Mode. Ability to practice for all races.
GT4 = A proper GT-Mode and A-Spec Points.
From GT2 Shelby Daytona race car. From GT3 how easy the rally races were. From GT4 the layout and how many races were available. From all in general; tracks, grinding events that can make you rich quickly...
that how I would have made the dealerships personally
