I can't wait to see people trading cars for money on Ebay as happens with oh so many MMORPG games. How do you stop people hybrid copying cars and just selling clones forever?
 
I'm betting if they allow online trading like that, then the car will be removed from your garage in exchange for actual game credits. And hybrid copies would be detected by DNAS and wouldn't be usable online.

It would also be quite nice if you were able to somehow hide your settings when you sell a car, so people couldn't steal your secrets.
 
You would use the "Reset to Default" options I imagine. That or just reset stuff, most of us know the generic settings for cars reasonably well.

I fail to see how DNAS authentication is going to stop people reloading save game files to their memory card and selling cars they've already sold.

I think you should be able to service your car between races in championships in the pits before the race or qualifying.Odometer must be brought back.Prolouge is only a demo so there was no need for it. Oh yeah,one of my cars in GT3 (R32GTS-t) feels well used, 18,540kms and still going strong. :odd: :cool:

I came up with this same idea. To have the ability to service your car between races in a series racing event would be awesome. I always hated how your vehicle in GT3 would have the oil light come on during the fourth race of a 10 race event. Also, how you would start a race with new tires, but not new oil? Ridiculous.

This would mean that my idea of a parts bin would also come into play. You would need to store the right parts, such as oil, batteries, pistons-rings (an entire tune stage perhaps), chassis parts, or whatever else might come into play, before a race series can be entered.
 
Amen, brother Solid.

In either a Sony Or PD press conference it was mentioned that the possiblity was to trade vehicles For real life cash, not game credits.
Obviuosly if you sell a car you could always alter the settings before you sold it if you didnt want people knowing your settings.
 
Sega GT has "used" car parts that can break and go out. I think its kinda cool.Im sure GT4 will have lots of surpises when it gets here.
 
IMO,

Another major thing that makes a car "used" is the fact that it may have been replaced by a newer model. Now with the online feature.....it would be AWSOME to have PD release new cars as they came out. Though I highly doubt that will happen:(
 
Yeah that'd be cool, & as you race your car/it gets outdated it looses value :)

Just aslong as you get more than 1/4 value by selling unlike in GT2/3? (GT1 gave you 1/2 I believe).

I'm not talking about resetting to default, I'm talking about hiding settings. Because, one of the things that would be really cool to do is to buy a car from someone that they spent hours perfecting and tuning, or to be the one selling that car, and for a higher price than stock. It would be like the tuner cars in GT, only by the players. But then when you sell it, you don't want them to learn all your tuning secrets, so the only way they could change settings would be to reset to defaults first.

As for reselling cars, there would likely be a mandatory auto save after selling a car, to prevent such things.
 
Well Part of the used car deal, I think serious tun-ups for used cars should be more involved than a new car, like as the car gets alot of miles etc.. you need to replace the engine or something, or buy nwer parts, so it the tranny goes bad, you need a new one, or a clutch etc... Being able to sell your car back to the used car lot so this way you could look around and see which lot gives you more money, and oh while there add it the value should go up and down depending on how many new parts you put on the car (for example a car with bad tranny will cost 3,000, but replace the tranny and your car sells for 4,000 or whatever) you all get the picture, the more miles you put on, the less the car value is... Being able to adjust your car between races in a 10 race series is a must, adjusting tires, changing oil, washing the car, changing parts/ buying new parts etc... This way you could keep your car in top shape for every race..
 
Sven, we ARE actually both referring to the same thing, most of us KNOW the default tuning settings for a lot of cars and if not, you CAN reset the default on some components; or alternatively just create a saved settings file when you first acquire the car and reload that when/if you sell it.
