As the question says, Would you pay for a Professional GT? Not just a game for a wide public, it would be just like iRacing, clean driving, no kids on a x2011.

physics at its pure GT experience. The same detail of graphics just with more tracks (avalible on the standard GT franchise)..

Would you pay for something like these?:drool:

Im guessing that PD is playing a game of balance between realism and wide gaming public.
 
With the given rule limiters on lobbies you can create your own adult atmosphere. I like taking my 1000+hp viper for drives online so that makes it difficult to keep kids in Enzo's and Lambo's out but given the hp limiter it would keep the redbull's and Veyron's out. Although it is fun spanking a Veyron with a car that literally costs a 10th the price. Also, the only way youd really keep the jerks and immaturity out is making it sorta like a Ferrari FXX, and make it an invitation only ownership.
 
Yes. I like how the game is by now. But it will be better if they focus more in physics and engine sounds (because in graphics we don´t need to say anything).

"Ala" rFactor on PC will be great. Not like iRacing ("pay racing").

Just turn off ABS TCS, limit tires to SM and PP to 600, watch kids scatter.

They always do!! We were using Comfort soft yesterday beating people with Sport tires. :lol: You turn that ABS off you will see who can really drive. :sly:

I totally agree. I just started racing without ABS, sitting in cockpit view and no HUD. It really makes GT5 a different (better) experience.

If you want more of a challenge from GT5, that's definently the way to go;)
 
If the Physics were on par or near that of iracing and other sims or actually took real tire data like FM and converted that to virtual racing for more realism. Then I'd be on board. Thus it would need to be used by an actual racing series or organization, to also win me over. Just saying it's more professional without having the backing wouldn't do them any good.

I think the current GT model is fine and just needs to be worked upon to make it better.

Yes sir 👍 It turns GT5 into something else. Some people like to be comfortable so they will not venture into the real deal which is cool. But for the people who say it's easy or this is not right etc. You might want to turn off GT5 terrible braking ABS assist because that's what it is. It does not truly act like ABS it keeps your car stable during bad braking technique making some drivers think they can brake.
 
If you want to make a poll, then don't bias it like that with the options.

You give people two options: Do as I think or admit being an idiot.
 
If you promise me only pure driving machines and no shopping trolleys, pick up trucks, or WW2 jeeps, then: shut up and take my money!
 
Absolutely, no question about it:idea: Whether enough people would support it to make it worthwhile for PD to do it is another question but I'm all for things that automatically separate the yo-yo's from the serious drivers without me having to police the situation and money has a tendency to do that. It's one thing to come online and be a jerkoff and annoy people or drive with no consideration for anyone when it's free, most people will not pay to do it, even if the price is minimal. Throw in some leaderboards and stats keeping, a rating system etc. and I'm all in:tup:👍

Hell, no need for all that, simply get rid of racing softs and hear them cry.. :rolleyes:

Lol exactly. Turn off racing softs, then mute the whiners. They wear themselves out after a while and just leave.
 
I'm not sure I'd want it, because I fear that PD would dumb down the mainstream GT and save the realism for Pro. I would want the mainstream GT to have just as much realism, if those options are enabled.

But if they keep and enhance the realism for GT, what are you paying for in GT Pro? A different disc with no A- or B-spec, but maybe some bonus cars/tracks, for the right to do "pro" races? Maybe this should just be a special league with a modest fee, like $5 per month.

About $70K. Cost to get a decent car into the new SCCA B-spec series and run it for a season.
 
My old trick was set it to a dirt/snow track, it usually retians a more light-heartd atmosphere while the 13 year olds can't even use their uber-exotic stuff.

Then if you want to separate the men from the boys on said rally track just turn off aids, turn off ABS, and ban 4WD. 90% of people online that I've seen join and immediately jump in some WRC car can't drive it (I guess they don't realize a 300hp rally car is likee an F1 car in the dirt and that they suck with it), so I ban 4WD to keep all the morons hitting every wall in rally cars out. My opinion is if you join a rally room and quit because you only want to powerful rally racing vehicles, then you're the same as the X1 13 year olds I'm trying to avoid.

Rally, no aids, no ABS, no 4WD, anyone that joins that is usually a pretty top-tier driver. Anyone that joins and sticks around is either good or determined enough to get better that I've got no problm with them.

The regular game could be exactly as it is, but the pay for play version could have enhanced features that may or may not appeal to other users. One thing I'd really like to see is a ranking system similar to iRacing and the ability to make lobbies exclusive to certain levels of ranking. That one change alone, whether it came in the general game or in the pay for play version, would be enough to keep the riff raff out.
 
I don't play online but I'd like it if PD aimed more towards the fans and avoided putting stuff in for the general users. In fact, I only really play Arcade Mode which could use a few extras. Would I pay for it? Yes.
 
Dont be to harsh.
Maybe you are confortable with the actual state of GT (option 2) It is not bad to be confortable with the latest patch.
 
Include penalties, damage that scatters debri on the track, a safety car, random "technical problem algorythm" to introduce mechanical issues to endurance races, proper tire model, a system that forces players to commit to one car per racing class per race season (without the unnatural ability to test a dozen cars before committing to one) and yes, I will pay with a smile.
 
If they were to make a hardcore version it would be good to have über realistic damage. As in one wrong hit and you're out of the race. And the damage would have to be persistent. The car would stay damaged so you'd have to fix it ( or scrap it if it was totaled ) after the race. Also paying for fuel, tyres.

I'd like to see that in a game someday. There was a PC game that came close to that. Street Legal Racing. It was awful, but they had a really good damage system. You could buy a used car with no engine and/or dented/missing bumpers, doors, boot lids, etc., and you could fix it up by yourself, going to the shop buying an engine all the parts and fitting them manually. So basicly you went to a race, ripped the door mirror off and after the race you had to buy a new mirror, fit it, paint it or just go on racing without one.

I also had a few laughs when first playing. I went to the used car lot and saw a great looking car that cost just under my starting budget. I thought great, what luck, and bought the car just to find it had no engine. Then i had to sell all removable body parts just so i could buy a basic engine to get it running :D

No i wouldn't pay. I would like a more realistic physics and a more difficult AI, but i wouldn't buy a second Game for it.

I want everything they can do as a Developer in 1 Game. Not in 2-4. A Game for Racer, a Second Game with Livery editor for creative persons and so on...
i wouldn't like that. I want the Full Package.

If you want a more realistic Race SIM Project CARS will interest you. It'll come Out on ps3 and other plattforms 2013.

And i think PD will Not do that. GT has Great Marketing and is famous. 80-90% of the GT Players think the Game is realistic. Only a few know that PC SIM for example are better. If they make 2 GT Versions it would hurt the Franchise, because People would realise that GT could be more realistic.

Argh my english is Bad . Hope i could explain what i mean :)

I do not like monthly fees. I like more tracks, better realism, better sounds. I voted the 2nd option but I think your poll options suck :D
 
I would want something with more options in terms of tuning, damage and "realism" et al.

However, it's not likely because we are using consoles. Yes I would buy a "Gran Turismo - it's not for n00bs", but I wouldn't pay a monthly subscription, I would be more inclined to invest in a desktop setup and subscribe to iRacing.

While I never tried iRacing I did spend quite a bit of time playing RFactor - and the nice thing about that was the varying levels of setup parameters based on the carsets. Of course there were more than enough idiot rammers and despicable track manners, but that's the nature of the online world. Anonymity makes ar$eholes out of nice people.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to choose a fuel load before going out on track? Wouldn't it be lovely to make adjustments to tyre pressures so you can "tune" the tyres into your driving style? Of course. But it all boils down to the biggest word in the English language. If.

If...
 
No, as iRacing is already available for realistic and clean online racing so there is no need for a 'Professional GT'.
 
I would prefer the REAL GT to step up and fix the physics flaws and add the things it needs for extra realism. Fuel load selection, more in depth tuning, livery editor, customization options like roll cages and more aero parts, engine swaps, balanced racing scenarios and good ai, ability to exit pit your self and no autopilot when you enter pits, and much more. Bottom line, look at games like forza and rfactor and iracing and apply it.

Yea, not to good of a poll.👎

It's "too" not "to". I saw it twice, on the poll and on your post. Sorry just an itch i needed scratched.
But I agree on your comment regardless. Your personal opinions should have no place on a poll. It should be impartial for all to answer honestly and not based around what you like.
