Of course, but Kaz also said that he wasn't sure if it'd be that size in the end. That's probably part of what's taken so long. Just figuring out exactly what the PS3 could handle. Building big tracks is going to eat memory fast, and memory is the PS3 weakest attribute.

How about they fix their shitty update system. Wanted to play some GT6 some days ago and I had to download and install 18 patches and after 9 hours it was at the 3rd one.. fuck that.
That's unfortunate. Making a circuit with 10km available is still plenty, though. Guess we'll see what the limit is on corners or course features tomorrow.

Pretty sure the 'GPS function' has been in the game for over a year, if it's what I think it is. Plugging in a flash drive with GPS data to upload it as a course, right? It's on the far right of the main menu.

Nope. That is the GPS function for telemetry information. Basically just for real life drivers checking their lap times recreated inside the GT6 engine.

Ah, gotcha. Lacking the hardware to use it, I never looked into it too closely.
Go Tigers!!
Going to be hard to fit tracks in such a small space, but I'll make it work.
Edit** That would be the real Death Valley. Clemson of course..as named well before LSU stole it. Just in case there's any confusion
On Topic, this is very neat.
Use your mobile GPS to map your driving route in real life, then port that driving route to the course maker to create a track.
They scrapped GT5's course maker and created this one from scratch. Most likely they made it for both GT6 and GT7 support. Kaz said this regarding GT6:
Anyone know Russian?

Here are some more screenshots. It looks like you can make a course that goes through towns, forests and mountains?

I see, that's actually really cool.
Yep, you can download a real map and draw over it.

Ok, that is amazing.

Very exciting. Easy bet that this will all carry over to GT7. Translator-san be praised.

So no more having to use Special Stage Route X as a pretend drag track.

We are 2 years into the gen, you don't even have announced a date for the game you are supposed to be developing, and you waste your time doing a course creator that nobody cares about for a 2 year old game?
Kazunori Yamauchi is out of his mind. Sony should just give him a pension and let him retire and spend his days driving and going to auto-events, because it seems to me that he doesn't give a sxxt about making driving games anymore.

Its absolutely fair game to criticize just how long it has taken them to get this out there (holy shit I thought the game got this long ago after I quit playing), BUT... maybe the time was well spent in an effort to design it to be more easily carry it over into GT7. I'm guessing that's the case anyway, otherwise it really would be a questionable effort.
Or... GT7/Sport announcement later on this year with mention of this course creator saying that there will be a more advanced version in GT7 at launch. Holiday 2016.

We can race on pretty much every real life track (actually can you do elevation changes).

But who wants a course creator to create ugly circuits when you can drive in 20-30 real ones? I don't get it.

This is just frustrating.

I don't disagree. Unless the game is built from the ground up around player generated tracks I'd expect most of them to suck in comparison to the Polyphony's hand crafted ones, with their insane attention to detail.

If the map data includes elevation information from the maps themselves this would be amazing.
Who needs the GPS function when you can just draw over google maps.
They don't have the whole team dedicated to course maker bro. GT7's development started a long time ago, and it makes more sense for this course creator to make its way to GT7 instead of being remade again. It's also up to Sony when they want to announce GT7, not Kaz.
You weren't the only one. I seriously assumed I had just missed it completely. I'm pretty sure I don't have the hardware to use this, but I'm still stoked to see what comes out of it.
