yeah, that escudo thing is realy just a glitch or maybe an easter egg.

That PS3 info is interesting. I guess the PS2 was hard to code for at first too so Sony prolly isn't too woried about their new system being hard too. Also: sony takes losses on all their consoles. I don't remember their exact figures, but when the PS2 was selling for 300 bucks, the actual cost to produce a PS2 was much higher by a few hundred bucks. they took the loss because they count on console buyers to spend waay more than their losses on periferals and games.

yeah...40 bucks for a damn controller! antoher 40 for a memory card! 40 bucks for the cd case with the PS symbol on it! Sony's making some money off of me!

to whoever asked, i live in waggaman, on the westbank of hte river, and i go to riverdale highshool in jefferson, are u from here too?also, i think sony is going a bit overboard, but then again, i dont believe half the stuff they say, it will be awesome, i know that, but im srue they're not dumb enough to make a $7oo that they KNOW everyone will not buy cause of the price, as long as it plays ps3,2, and 1games, as well as dvds and internet connection, im good with that, id throw up $3oo or $35o for a ps3, i think its gonna be great, but they should consider making some of these things cheaper, personally if it launches at $5oo or better, im a huge ps fan,but, shiz aint happenin, ill wait a year till it drops down in price

another one is saved from the perils of forced secondary education. congratulations. dont throw your cap...you'll forget to pick it up. and dont hang around and talk and smile like you're proud. just grab your pamphlet and get the hell out of there and never look back. its the only smart move.

stutt944...I took your advice, my cap didn't leave my hand and I left as fast as could...

as for GT4...HURRY UP! LOL...I wonder if they will let me beta test it!

The only thing I wish they would add which seems left out is collision damage. I can easily do with out it, but it adds to the realism of the game when you fight to not hit anything to avoid messing up your beautiful skyline.

You can get the Toyota GT-One Race car to go 1400 MPH by tweeking the settings and if you and a freind use drafting it is posible to obtain speeds of 5000 MPH (yes 5000, i'm not kidding)

Post by **team23rulz** » Sun May 25, 2003 8:34 am

so can we say that some of the realism went out of the door between versions 2 and 3, or are you guys usning that HYBIRD code or is that not cheating?

Post by **Eklectrick** » Sun May 25, 2003 8:34 am

I'm pretty sure it's a glitch in the aerodynamic settings that people are exploiting.

hmm.... but the 1500 mph pass does sound interesting. what are people putting the setting at to attain such speeds?

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Sun May 25, 2003 8:34 am

thats crazy, the fastest i got was something like 2ooo mph on a wheelie in the escudo

Post by **stutt944** » Sun May 25, 2003 8:34 am

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT??? how are these numbers possible. someone please elaborate on the methods. maxed out my gtone does about 245. the escudo about 270. where the hell did you get 2000 and 5000 mph???

Here: from Gamewinners.com

Hint: Escudo or GT40: Super speed and wheelie:Make sure you have the Turbo Charger stage 4. Set the final gear at its lowest setting. Then, change the autoset to max, then 0, then max again. Next, change the final gear to 2.050. Then, change the down force in front to the lowest setting and the rear to maximum. After this, change the spring rate to minimum, front and rear. Do the same thing with the ride height. Make sure the TCS and the ATC are at 0. The Escudo can now go 535 mph and will also do a wheelie.Information in this section was contributed by KIMPOGGIO.

Hint: Escudo or GT40: Flying front end:There is a way to make an Escudo or GT40 front end lift up. Use the following settings and race your car at the test track. At about 230 mph the front end should lift up.Information in this section was contributed by Tips And Tricks via Andrew Hansen.

Equip the highest NA or Turbo tune-up Put spring rate to minimum for front and back Put ride height to minimum for front and back Put gear's auto setting to widest, and final to 3.000 Put front down force to minimum and back to maximum Set ASM and TCS to level 0.

Hint: Escudo Pikes Peak: High speed:Note: This trick only works on the Test Course. Get a Pikes Peak and tune it up to the maximum. Then, go into either Machine Test or Run And Setting. When you get to the screen, highlight "Settings" and press X. Select the option car settings, go to gear ratios then move to the bottom of the list to the "Sports" or "Wide" option. Go all the way to "Wide" as far as it can go. Return to the race screen and test it out. This usually only works when you get going and then stop and try again. You should be able to get up to 321 mph.Information in this section was contributed by JiSpreng.

Buy everything you can except tires. Lower all the gears and the final gear as low as possible. Run it on the test track and watch it fly by at 194 mph.Information in this section was contributed by FootballplayaD88.

Glitch: Super speed on test course:Use the following trick to go over 1400 mph on test course. Make sure your GT-One race car has all the upgrades, the stage 4 turbo kit, super-soft tires, and a fresh oil change. Next, go into the vehicle settings for the car and make the following changes: Spring rate 4.0 Front/ 4.0 Rear, Ride Height 55 Front/ 55 Rear, Shock Bound/Rebound 1 Front/ 1 Rear, Camber/Toe Angles 0 Front/ 0 Rear, Brake Balance 9 Front/ 9 Rear, Limited-Slip Initial Torque 60, Limited-Slip Accel 60, Limited-Slip Decel 20, Downforce .45 Front/ 1.25 Rear, ASM 10, TCS 5. Here is the important part -- go to the Gear Ratio Settings screen and change the final gear to 5.499. Change the Auto Settings level to 47 and then to level 48. Do not change the settings for the individual gears (i.e., 1st through 6th) -- they should now be set to specific levels. Now, change the final gear back to 2.900, and do not forget to accept the changes. Go to the Max Speed Test. Make sure to do a 180 (turn completely around) to go the opposite direction around the track. Otherwise, you will be stopped and given your max speed at the other end of the track. As you go around the first and second corner, stay in third gear by holding R2 (if using an automatic transmission). As soon as you come off the second corner heading down the straight-a-away, release R2 after you reach a speed of 243 mph. The front end of the GT-One should lift up and you will start to go very fast. It is possible to set a max speed record of 1455 mph or better by changing the time at which you release R2.Information in this section was contributed by Master_E.

damn...i guess i have to try that!

:thinker :shocked thats crazy!:D

Post by **stutt944** » Sun May 25, 2003 8:34 am

i would say that if anything, the realism/dynamics were improved quite a bit between 2 and 3. its just the used car thing that went away that made a big difference.

I'm talking about realism as in gameplay, but if it is just a glitch, then I retract my statement...
