Okay everyone, one night, I had nothing to do, ad was very, very bored. That night, I thought about a video game that would marvel te world. The ultimate enthusiast game, import or domestic. Here it is in detail, though not most details which I probably cant remember. Dont make fun of me, because, I know, if you are a hardcore racing gamer like i am, i know you have though about how cool it would be to come up with your own game. Please dont steal this idea.

The name- Racer X, or The Enthusiast, I honestly have no cue what the name should be, personally, i think those mentioned blow!

First off, this racing game crosses over so many genres, its not even funny. There are so many different ways to complete this game, I think it would honestly be a best seller for many monts. Now, I thought about who should develop tis game and ended coming up with Polophony Digital( Gran Turismo 1,2,3) Squaresoft( Final Fantasy series, Kingdom Hearts, many others) and finally Rockstar (Midnight Club, Grand Theft Auto series, others also). I knwo those are a bunch of developers and a team up like that would never happen. I was think Polophony and Square soft for the graphics and story line, controls, almost everything, and have Rockstar in there to help out, i guess?!:confused:

Of course, like any other game, you gotta have a tight intro or something that gets you hyped for this game, so, lets pretend Its just cars drifting, drag racing, in the JGTC, street racing, mixed in with some hardcore techno and had rock. Haha.

After and looking at te options screens, you finally get to the begining of the very in depth story mode. Now keep in mind, that i originally intended this game to be a three part series, the first game is set in United states. the next onewould be set in Europe, and the final one set in Japan.

Before starting anything in story mode, you have create a body for yourself, or a charecter. The character creating part gets very into detail. i was thinking, there is a camera tat can hook up to the USB port on the PS2, or the next PS3 so yo can take a picture of yourself, or your face, then it goes into the computer and makes a 3D self image of you. Of course you input your weight, age, where you were born and all of that good stuff. Then once this is all done, you get the story mode o thegame. Now this whole thing just got erased about an hour ago, i got real in depth adn talked about a few things about the game, of course, i was severely pissed, and still am, but iam not going to go that in depth that i did last time.

Any ways, There are over lets say, 150-280 cars that are liscensed. There are over 500-1500 liscensed products. You have all of the big names like HKS, Apexi, Blitz, JUN, Signal, Trust, Top Fuel, and more. For the engine part. Then you have liscensed bodykit manufacterers like Veilside, Bomex, C-West, Do-luck, and many more. Then you have the audio part, which there are allot of audio people, so i wont name.

Anyways, you have to make your way up the import ladder. You start street racing and bet small money, and eventually it starts leading up to where you own your own business. This is afree roaming game. In which, you are able to walk arund, and talk to many people. Wlaking around like in GTA, and talking to anybody and everybody like in Final Fantasy. Youcan talk to peope and ask what are they running inder their hood, what kind of kitthey have or anything that is already preloaded. You can ask to race and bet your money. Then once tired of street racing, and you have a lot of money, you can get your liscense to drag race under the IDRA, or NHRA import series. or you can build a car to be in shows,drifting, auto crossing, and sound comps. Remember, tere is a very in depth tuning in this game, so i dont need to explain, except, that you can modify t fit your needs, like if you wanna build a srteet racer, you an gut the interior and take off the useless things. You wanna build a show car, you an custm design the layout of the car, and all of the custom things you want to do.Like powder coating and ohers.

This game will be able to go online, so you can then enter your car into online shows and win for in game prizes and in game money. You street race people online, and talk to people if you have a keyboard. When your at a car show you can walk around and talk to the other competitors an about their cars.

There are also some mini games, like a a car show, you can breakdance against other people, race your R/C car and such.

When you start raking in major cash, you can buy property and start a business, like a used car dealer, new car dealer, performance parts dealer, or you can try to fab your own s*** and try and sell it. Then you just bringin the money from there.

Hmm.....this is just the part where you are in L.A., and of course, when you are in competitions, you have to get in your big rig to haul around your stuff right? When you eventually, get to Japan, you can then start to try and be a driver in the JGTC, or the D1, or somethinglike that. The next gme after the amercanone would be europe, where, it is mostly the european cars to dify, but you can import some of yur cars and cash from you old game from you save file into this one, so you would be set and eventually build yourself the import empire. Hahaha! Or, if your new to this game an the first one you get is the one in europe, you can start from scratch.

You can pull off side jobs in all of these gams, such as stealing cars, blowing up someones company, keying cars, stealing radios and rims and such. There will be no killing, as this would likely get a T for teen rating. So you could sort of build yourself a side empire. That is all for money though.

Sorry for all of the spelling and grammar mistakes, my computer and keyboard suck. Remember, i was bored and thoughtof this extensively, thanks for reading if you havent given up reading it yet. Tell me what you al think so far.

I know i mentioned something about domestics, but couldnt really fit i in, of corse, you could probably buy one and modify it and race them in the game, but this is mainly an import game. Haha, im thnking like it is actually going into production, im so lame.

Dam im bored.

um. . .just coming from a computer animation/programming background, i seriously doubt that you could incorporate THAT many genres into one game without going through GENERATIONS of programmers. . . not to mention it'd have to be like a 12 DVD set to keep all the different worlds and vocal tracks. . .

don't get me wrong . . . that game would be pretty sweet but don't hold your breath on this one

Yeah, It is hard to fathom a game of this magnitude. but it is cool to think, i a couple months ago, i actually wrote and drew allot of the menu screens, and such. I say most parts could be incorporated, i mean, look at GTA, and Final Fantasy, i did read up on what i would hve to do to get it started and just thought and eventually said forget it, this game would sell like hot cakes too. Way better then GT3 i think. It might be possible for like PS4 haha.

even though its probly impossible....i think that would be soo tight to have a game like that, i dont know why any of the big companies havent had a game like that(obviously not of that magnitude) on any of the big systems, the closest thing we have to a game like that is GTA series...the least they could do is make a street racing game where you can hook up your cars and race for money and actually have decent stuff to hook your cars up with...

im thinkin createaride.com and nittoracing put together would be pretty cool if it was to come out on a system on a regular game you buy at a store instead of only accesible on the computer(b/c the graphics really suck, making it not as fun)... if i was to make up a game it would be somthin like what BB turbo said, maybe you should send some of your ideas to some of the companies(even though it probly wont do any good) and let them know what people want in a good racing game for the most part

sounds fun but not doable with current technology.

even an x-box couldn't do all that without like 12 DVDs

something that would be almost as good but doable with current tech.

a racing game with tons of licensed cars (300+, GT3 has about 150 and SGT2k2 has about 120). have everything from muscle cars to old school imports to the latest modern cars. most importantly get porsche, ferrari, and lamborghini into the same game with all of the japanese and american cars. yes i know all 3 are in NFS but the NFS series has been all but devoid of japanese cars (except for the RX7 and supra from the first NFS).

be able to modify individual parts with licensed parts from a bunch of major tuners all around the world. also have body kits and custom paint jobs (TRX0 is the only game ive seen with body kits, never seen a game with true custom paint ability)

have road racing, drag racing, rally, maybe even autox and rallyx. the street racing is better served in a game by itself.

being able to compete online would be essential.

so far as platforms and developers. the Xbox would be able to pull it off the best (im sorry the PS2 pales compared to the Xbox) polyphony could pull it off, but i think sega could also do well (SGT2k2 slaughters GT3 graphicly but lags behind in other areas).

a game like this is doable now its just the issue of getting a developer to do it. and getting the notoriously picky manufacturers to allow license for their cars specificly porshce, ferrari, and lamborghini.

ive you haven't noticed porsche has only been in the NFS series games and other than F355 challenge ferrari has only been in the NFS games. i know that there was one lambo in japanese versions of GT3

well. . . the game producers would have to get licensing from a boatload of companies to incorporate all their mod's into a game like that. . . the GT series is one of the few to get those licenses from the car companies and that was a huge step . . . but try getting the car companies AND all the aftermarket companies to sponsor a game like that. . . d**n that be a marketing department nightmare. . .

There is definitely a market for a game like that.

Since the release of Fast and the Furious, my city has been on backorder for Tokyo Extreme Racer 0. That means if you want that game, you have to wait 3 months. Yep, I'm serious, it's been like that here since the movie release. One of my friends had to wait 3 months for his copy, and another one of my friends has 2 months left until he gets his.I had my copy before the movie :D

you folks forget that licenses cannot be aquired just because a game designer wants them. Cool concept but its never going to happen. Go buy gran turismo and be very happy it exists.

Right now, the only games i know of that pertain to the import culture are auto modellista, street racing syndicate, midnight club 1 and 2, and TXR0. There is a game, that have talked about beforecalled Drift Champ, its a japanese game that is all about....well drifting. I will import that game.And yes, most do realize that getting liscenses would require a lot of hard work and talking and luck to get that from companies. If you look around at the games that have those cars in there, like GT3, test Drive,and others, they have liscensed car in there. But none of them ever get wrecked or damaged, except in some of the rally games, and thats cool, but in all others, you rarely see liscensed cars wrcked. Like in GTA, those cars blow up, and there is no chance hale that car manufacturers will ever put there cars in there. If you look at TXR0, HKS and CATZ have their name in there, ad thats cool, HKS even has their name in the upcoming auto modellista. So, from what i understand, it could be harder or easier toliscence something.

actually alot of companies wont provide licenses for a game that uses their cars in illegal activities. They just dont like this, but are becoming more and more relaxed

also, they wont provide the license if you can buy a $2000 civic and put $10,000 into it and run better than lets say a ferrari of some sort. Just doesent reflect well on their cars.

im sure there are other issues as well that i dont know about. I gtg have a shower. cya and good luck with whatever your planning.

they could always just do like GTA and have the cars but not the actual names for the cars....just make them look like the cars we all know and love, that would also work for the parts too, it would be better than nothin anyways:rolleyes

True that. Thatd be a good idea, but in the getaway, they actually have the real cars name. There is even a skyline in there that you can wreck around in.

this is automodellista. the game is pretty cool, youcan customize your garage and stuff, and almost all of the mentioned comapnies are in this game. best part is, this game was free for me, because i have a modified ps2 and got a copy from colombia
