Edit existing tracks or make your own.

I've said this elsewhere but I'll post my thoughts on this here too.

The statement said something along the lines of once a particular part of the game is completed 'You will be able to rebuild a track from scratch or edit the tracks that are already put in Gran Turismo 5'

Edit the tracks already in GT5?

The real racing circuits - Suzuka/Fuji/Laguna Seca/Spa/Nurburgring etc., you really think PD will give you the option to edit those? I think not.

The street circuits - London/New York/Seattle etc. again, I think not.

The original circuits - Grand Valley/Trial Mountain/Deep forrest etc. I seriously doubt it.

So something that came to mind is this, they have the WRC licence so obviously rallying is going to be a fairly large part of the game but modelling rally stages the way they model race circuits would be a massive undertaking so I'm thinking they could just be using some sort of track generator for that part of the game, with pre-sets to start off with but then unlocking the ability to use your own settings or adjust the pre-sets once part of the game is completed.
It'd even be possible with something like that for online races to create random tracks/stages that no-one's ever raced on before.

I could be totally wrong but if there's any truth to the story that makes the most sense to me.

Why not?

from another thread:

Quote:

20 Locations.

70 Tracks.

Does that mean something like grand valley would be 1 location and the 2 versions of it with forward and reverse would be 4 tracks?

If that's the case then there's not much scope for rallying which is another point that makes me think the rally stages might be generated as opposed to modelled.

I don't see why not, building a track editor essentially is hard work and so they're clearly doing it for the experience, similarly I'm pretty sure people would have more fun taking a premade circuit and going insane with it. Past editors of games allow you to open up various missions, and alter them for the fun factor. You might not be able to use them online or something, but I doubt they'll care what you do with the tracks, hell it'd be funny to see a giant great digger sitting on the chicane at Spa.
