How about a copy/paste of GT7 and change the cars to bikes? Same tracks, same career progression etc? It would be cheap as heck to make and they could sell it cheaper too, maybe $US39.95. I'd buy that.

All they would need to do is just have the option to race with cars or motorcycles, or a combination of both. Then, everyone is happy because the people who don't want to race with motorcycles are satisfied as well as the people who want to race with both on the track or a motorcycle-only race.

Never happen. If you can repackage 90% of the content, throw in a couple of new tracks associated with bikes like Jerez, Assen etc. and sell it for $39.95 why would PD even entertain the idea of packaging the two together? It's not about making people happy, it's about how to make the most money from the idea.

If it's seen as a viable and profitable option in the eyes of PD (or whoever makes those decisions), sure, but we don't know that. If I recall correctly, TT underperformed sales wise and that will probably taken into consideration by the suits. It's a rather niche sub-genre after all; something we have to be realistic about, unfortunately.
With that said, I do believe there's a crowd and demand for a sequel and that it could be successful if they'd really made an effort (physics, tracks, a wide variety of bikes, career mode, online and etc.), and as long as the development of the game was budgeted accordingly.
Most importantly - Isle of Man, the track associated with the title ''Tourist Trophy''.

You should understand that there is a very simple correlation between these two things.

Yeah, the simple correlation is, maximum profit always wins. The customer is happiest getting the most product for the cheapest price. The producer is interested in the maximum profit margin based on anticipated sales...which rarely, if ever, includes wrapping a marginal game like TT into a hugely successful franchise like GT. The most profit is in the separate game...and it won't taint the GT name if it's a flop.

I'm the last person that needs an uneducated lesson on marketing principles.

Here's the argument for a download: if you already have the fan base, and offer an addition for a small amount, more are going to be interested in getting it than going out and buying a new game. That's how I would look at it, because I already have 1 game that takes up too much of my time!

I dont care either way, Tourist trophy was swept to the side unfairly, and since it came out there has been demand for it. Everytime I play it, I just think 8f how much better it could be with todays graphics and console power. Come on PD

Bundling TT with GT, even as paid DLC, will create the market sure enough.
GT itself was supposed to be an un-viable product in the environment it was released into. It wasn't even meant to see a world-wide release.
TT was literally a labour of love, and yet also a great experience with it; it was also a chance for PD to experiment. Its lack of "success" probably isn't the issue it might otherwise be perceived to be, and therefore no real barrier to a sequel.

If GT4 had been expandable, I guarantee you that TT would have been an expansion pack.

If PD made Tourist Trophy 2 I would be very happy. If it featured new bikes, such as my personal favourite and fastest production bike ever - the Marine Turbine Technologies Y2K, I would just die

Formula 1, cart racing, stock car racing, tour car racing, and rally racing don't belong in the same game either but....

and you can do that. They'd be better of just making TT2. Bikes have as much place in GT as a shopping cart.

ANYTHING is possible.... Just not always probable. I'm fine with limited races.... We already have that with the Karts!

The reason for including TT2 in GT is because it would be more cost effective, and therefore more likely to happen outright.
For people who want TT2, it makes sense to want the solution that maximises the chances of the thing actually coming into existence.
It'd most likely be as a paid expansion in that case anyway, there's little chance of PD including bikes "for free".

Bikes are raced on Laguna Seca multiple times every year in real life and no one ever stepped in and said "sorry, this track will only work for cars"
