I've been away from the racing genre for a long time. Used to play GT a LOT back in the day but recently just lost interest in the genre overall be it sim-racing or arcade racing. I just feel the genre hasnt evolved enough over the years (well truthfully speaking its a genre that doesnt have that much room to evolve in the 1st place). Saying this I'm still curious to know how GT Sport ends up being. I believe Polyphony Digital will look at Forza and try its best to "one up" it. Since GT Sport has less cars then previous GT games I hope they have realized quantity =/= quality and will deliver a more focused game.
Thats what I hope anyway. Lets see if GT Sport can make me get back into racing games...
Curious as to what evolution you would like to see in racing games?
Read again. I said racing games dont have much room to evolve. Thats what happens in a genre where the premise has been the same ever since it started i.e. race against other cars. Burnout gave a little boost when it added mayhem into the mix but other than that the premise has always been the same and gameplay barely evolved.
Its not a matter of wether or not I want to see evolution but the room the genre has to evolve. And it isnt much
I read what you had in quotes, and I read what you mentioned before the quotes "I just feel the genre hasnt evolved enough over the years". I was just asking if there was something you would like to see, that is all. I am curious. I wouldn't mind something to keep us coming back. You have games like GT that added oil changes, pit stops, realistic graphics, rally, GT Academy and GT specific concept cars. Games like Forza added livery editors, Forzavista, damage physics and damage modeling, tuning/parts, auction house and a massive online community as well as cloud based drivatars. But what else would you (or any of us) like to see, without losing focus.
I liked that GT added the concept cars. I would like to see, again if it doesn't derail the genre, is the ability to design our own cars from scratch. Put tools that allow the developers to create cars (I know they are laser scanned in), but fictional cars could be made from a good set of tools.
Take a look here:
http://www.gran-turismo.com/us/vgt/
Give us tools to design our own vision of a car and race it. Allow us to sell to millions online for in game currency. Allow it to show up on custom leaderboards. Have design competitions on the car designs, votes, polls, allow the community to do livery to our concept cars. Even submit them to real manufacturers.
