How many of you (if anyone) would love an open world driving game. One with 100s of detailed cars from cockpit in and out. Where the only purpose is to cruise around. No story, no championship just driving for the joy of it. You could see in detail both classic and modern cars.

Would this be pointless to you ? Would this just get boring to you ?

Personally I love just staring at car photos online of new cars released. And I think it be pure joy just to hop into a game and enjoy them virtually while cruising a scenic landscape.

Just curious if anyone else thinks this sounds like a good idea …

    The appeal is the cars. Like this kind of game is more for train simulator people than GTA types.

    1. Buying new car costs insurance which is determined by length of gameplay without accidents.

    2. In depth paint / decal system. like track pad airbrush custom decal drawing.

    3. In depth engine / body mod system that’s reasonably accurate to real life.

    4. Replica open world with real life landmarks and achievements for visiting them all. Like Sea to Sky Highway BC, Romanic Road Germany, Great Ocean Road Australia

    5. In game events like group cruises, car shows, drag racing etc

    6. A library of classic to modern cars from all over the world that you can collect and enjoy.

    7. In game currency earning from jobs like taxi, racing, or maybe even best car competitions where players determine the winner.

    Like go to a car show and see what tickles those people. If you make a game that authentically lets them enjoy cars… you got 'em. Makes me think about my old ass grandpa playing Deer Hunter on his Windows 98 PC because he was too old to go in the bush.

      All good and interesting ideas, the implementation though looks like a headache.
