    I feel like a lot of the redundancy for prize cars could have been quashed by making it so that certain events act as gateways into a new tier of license events.
    Like "Hey, you just got the Int. A License, here are some events where we will loan you a car to use, and winning will grant you that car, so that we can make sure you have something that can compete in at least one event at this level."

    I think there's a bellcurve here where the useless, but cool prize cars for some of the really hard accomplishment actually make a ton of sense for things nearing the end of the game. The most useful cars should come somewhere in the middle of a run where people get them while they still need them, and they're also attainable for casual players. Think about it; for one, if you're that good, or that far along in the game, it is basically impossible for the developers to guess what it is you actually need still (if anything) since it's going to be highly player dependent unless they simply prevent you from obtaining cars that are needed for the late game events through any other means, so giving out the fun stuff that's unobtainable otherwise keeps everyone at least a little happy, but more importantly 2: they don't want to anger a bunch of people by rendering some of the most useful and fun cars in the game unobtainable for people who aren't that good or aren't willing to invest a massive amount of time into the game. Imagine how infuriating it would be to need to gold the S licenses in GT4 or get the last one lap magic in order to get the Formula Gran Turismo. That would just put a massive, potentially insurmountable roadblock in the way of many average players, it makes no sense.

    • @SIPEROTH

      Two things are the worse. Price cars at special limited time events(GT6) and cars that you basically needed to complete their event and you already bought just to win that event and get the car you bought. GT3 annoyed me to hell about that because other than my initial car I like trying to complete the game with just cars I win but GT3 made it impossible by not giving me a car I can do some events.

Been getting really nostalgic about good ol GT, so much so that i was compelled to drag out my g29 and try to fix it. Got it cheap off gumtree years ago but it never worked..... untill now! The ps3-ps4 toggle switch on top is to blame and is like the 'Achilles heal' of g29's. Its a really common issue with them. Since fixing it, I've fired up gtsport for first time in years and been happily punting around my favourite tracks to get up to speed again! I'll never play GT with a controller again!

    A similar prize car sin in GT4 was the Suzuki one-make race when the only obtainable Suzuki up to that race is the swift and have to beat the much more superior Suzuki concept roadster, so you had to specifically tune the swift and pull out all the tricks to win - just to win that roadster, which isn’t that valuable given the crazy amount of Japanese cars you earn and buy that are better value.
    Also, not a prize car but having the caterham be purchasable but not usable in any events is very lame.

  • @TeaKanji
    @TeaKanji Před 9 měsíci +10

    Well-presented as always, nicely done. Something that might have been worth mentioning is how GT3's prize cars come with fully broken-in engines, giving them a 3% power boost over the dealership variants (which needs to be driven for 300km for the engine to fully break in). This makes it a viable opening strat to buy an AE86, enter Sunday Cup, get the prize car, then sell the one you bought and tune the prize car instead. Considering how tight GT3's early game is, the small power boost can make a difference in difficult events like 80's Car Cup. A nice little detail that encourages the player to use prize cars, on top of the special colours they often come in. It still feels bad to spend credits tuning an Elise for Elise Trophy only to get a stock one in return though, yeah.

    This is my main issue with GT7... everything else aside? Imagine getting a roulette ticket, and "winning" a part for a car you don't have or the "invitation" to come buy an exclusive car? The invitation thing definitely rubs me the wrong way because it doesn't really feel "exclusive", it just feels like another way to stretch out play time and content when you have to randomly win the OPPORTUNITY to buy an exclusive car.

Up to that point in my life my only irl experience with a Honda was an 86 accord my mom had that smoked like crazy.

    I think there could have been some improvements to the prize car system in GT2 and GT3, especially in terms of aiding in progression. For GT2, all those Mugen vehicles sold for a few thousand credits, hardly worth the time and energy it took to earn them. I don't know how much of the game's rushed state led them to just throwing any old car into the mix as a prize, but as you mentioned, some of them don't make sense.
    If you look at how the game distributes its progression (where you need multiple licenses to enter the single races, as opposed to an entire series being restricted to a specific license as in the other games), it hints that it wants you to use multiple vehicles for each race, or at the very least, to upgrade the car you decide to enter. Take the rally races, for example. There are a couple of events that require the standard A License, while others require an IB License. It should have been recommended that the A License events be entered with a road car equipped with rally tyres, but the IB License could have had a rally car as its all-gold prize, given that many of the trials found within practice techniques exclusive to dirt driving. You could have then used that car as a gateway to the IB License rally events.
    As for GT3, many of its problems in the early game involve redundant prizes. Out of all the cars you can afford with your 18,000 starter credits, the best options generally fall down to either a Toyota Sprinter or a Mazda MX-5 (Miata). Both of these cars are won as prizes from the Sunday Cup and Clubman Cup events, respectively. A similar phenomenon occurs revolving around the Lightweight K Cup series. Your only options to enter that series are the Daihatsu Cuore (Mira) or Suzuki Alto Works (the Mini Cooper is awarded as a prize for winning the series, so it effectively doesn't count). You can buy them at the start and have enough to buy a turbo upgrade, but that makes their appearances as prize cars in the 4WD Challenge and the Turbo race series pointless. Or you can enter those races first and win the prize cars, but at least one of them is not required, and you need a car quick enough to beat them, anyway.

    With the GT7 info prize ticket you gave out the link, I can finally know why my luck is suck, is the percent chances rate that I never knew about it. I saved up to 20 tickets just to hope to get big credit or cars but all I got is 5k credits to 30K, on 6 star however the last prize car I got is VGT EVO.... which it looked like Eclipse Cross Family SUV but race version... Oh well maybe one day someone can tune it up and make it look exactly like that. There are other prize cars from online content which I hardly remember from GT5 back then I played but in GT7 I remember most of it so far, the extra menu collection, the online content and well I guess that's it. You'll get for going Porsche esport time trial event for 3 cars with custom color style and including 917 yes that one thank god it saved my 18 million credits to grind. I hope it does that more often with each monthly update content comes, speaking of, I don't think you never done a update content video before, maybe you should research and check it out the through out the history back then?

    The worst thing about GT2's tuner prize cars are just how useless or crap some of them are. Most of the Mugen cars immediately spring to mind (except the EK9 Civic and DC2 Integra, they were pretty rapid when tuned, and faster than the Spoon equivalents), as does the Nismo 270R, which in the base game wasn't even allowed to be used in the S-chassis race along with the Sileighty (I believe this was fixed in GT2+ and the A-spec mod, better late than never). Think the absolute worst of the worst though is the Tom's T111. A dull, dreary yellow AE101 Corolla that other than a 6 speed box, really doesn't stand out at all as an FWD car, not when there are GT300s and Super Touring cars. Even my favourite TRD Chaser X30 is pretty limited in usefulness, although it's a solid choice for the turbocharged car cup. It's also the only 1JZ car that's able to be tuned to have a decent amount of power.
