I hope GT Sport turns out to be a gigantic title that keeps updating until the end of PS4/Neo days. I don't want to see GT7 being the 'casual' game with GT Sport for those who are on a higher level and looking for 'proper' racing.
I cautiously agree. The reason I say "cautiously" is because software that undergoes a lot of patching and expansion, particularly game software, can get increasingly cantankerous over time. Something I refer to as Patch-itis Senility Syndrome. How many of us get tired of Windoze performance after a couple years of patches, and do the reinstall routine? After two years of updates, my install of GT5 got so bad, it would crash every single time after three races. Then again, it might not have been the updates alone, as the Museum Cards would bloat the system with hundreds of entries, often duplicates, an there was no way to delete them. The Garage, Photo Folder and Replay Theater could end up with massive file sizes, and all of that could contribute, and is a good culprit for GT6's divided Garage. But mainly, I blame all the patches. Slapping in more code, and more code, and updates, and patches make a piece of software less stable as that goes on.
But I would accept that prospect, as a bigger, cooler GT Sport that grows with more goodies to explore as the days pass can only be a good thing. Now, as to how it grows, and not just with more cars and tracks.
I agree with many here who want to see an offline GT Mode, not just a focus on online racing. Maybe we will have that, but there's no real evidence right now. If there isn't one, I hope that gets patched in, and a big one, roughly on par with the one in GT6 if possible if not more like the one in GT4. When cars and tracks are added, the offline mode expands and includes them in events.
I'd like to see a full featured Event Maker, something to let us create our own events offline or online, all the way up to a racing season with championships and prizes. Online, I'd like to see it also as a Club and League Builder tool, with lots of capability to define all the aspects of user created racing leagues.
I'd like to see the Livery Editor become more capable over time, with additional vinyls, national flags, text fonts and decal packs on offer, perhaps new features.
I want to see a Course Maker, maybe a version 2.5 with some nice improvements over the one in GT6. More environments, and more trackside elements. Tracks can be used in the Event Maker and easily shared for online play.
How about a Movie Maker, that links to YouTube? As a sort of corollary to that, I want to be able to edit the replay cameras in a kind of Director Mode.
I'd like to see the positional driver cam like I proposed in that other thread.
Now clearly, add all this in along with several hundred cars and dozens of tracks, and you pretty much have GT7. The only way that SONY would accept a situation like this, is if most if not all of this content is for sale on the Playstation Store. But I expect that Kaz will be getting some definite ideas for GT7, not to mention that the focus of Sport is on that racing sim/eSports thing, so I don't expect GT Sport to grow a whole lot. But some things, definitely, cars, tracks and some features.
