Gran Turismo 4

[Onizuka]

I was just reading a article on GT4, holy crap it looks f'n awsome. so far they have over 500 cars and 50 tracks (plus backwords around the track, and rain courses brings it to about 120 race courses). They said its going to take the PS2 to the limit of its grafical abilities.

The coolest thing about the game is they are actually going to have pit crews! how cool is that! no more magically floating car in the pit lane. There is speculation that you will be able to "upgrade" the pit crew also.

When it comes out this winter (if it comes out this winter) you wont see any of me for a loooooooong while

asme here man, can't wait, although gt3 was 9months later than projected, so im ready for the wait of this one too, sure ive heard november release but ill believe it when i see it, o yea, and they'll have tskuba!! (sp?), hell i still play gt3, im on day 21oo or so now

[Onizuka]

dude i have been playing GT3 for like 3 years now, that game never gets old for me, ill probably never leave my room again when GT4 comes out

[nlzmo400r]

yea i know, i always find new stuff to do on the game, i do 'price limits' on what i can spend, take 2, sometimes 3 cars, and put the same amount of money in em, and see which runs faster, i dunno never gets old, although im def ready for gt4, hell gt3 is the reason i went back with sony to begin wiht, i just went to best buy, and they have this HUGE setup on teh back wall, of like 2obig screen tvs connected to each other, so of cousre, i had to be a smart *** and ask how much it was ,well they told me 35ok!!, i almost shat myself , they said stadiums and stuff by em, thats what im talkin about!!!

Used cars are also coming back. Makes me wonder if the Racing Modification will come back as well.

Also I have read that GT4 is going to have 500 cars and 50 like J-Spec said.

[Onizuka]

I read this in GameInformer. This is info they got from E3. Its going to be the largest racing game ever. Period. :ylsuper

[Onizuka]

here are some movies and screen shots of the game to drool over for the next 9-15 months...

EDIT: ok never mind they want you to pay to be a member to see the video

[nlzmo400r]

yea i hate that pay to be a member bs, but whatever, i also heard that there will be an insane amount of cars, but i tihnk 5oo or so sounds more realistic, and i also heard about the 5otracks, this is the info i got from polyphonydigital, so that is the numbers im going by, sure people will start rumors about 1zillion cars, and they're going to include jet fighters and such, but i only trust sony/polyphony

[SmithSR]

Good point. The interview(EVOmag. June'03) with the creator and head of the Gran Turismo game series. "By the time they've finished, more than a thousand cars will have been documented for inclusion."

So they don't specifically *say* 1000 playable cars in the game, just that they are going to have that many available for *inclusion* in the game.

Go here for a bunch of trailers for games all over.

I grafical

Is that really a word?:D

Those stills look awesome! Cant wait. i havnt touched my PS2 in an eternity, however i think i will have to dust her off when that one comes out.

[nlzmo400r]

i still play mine a lil bit, but am very excited once gt4 gets here

[goshoryuken]

Yeah, love Gran Turismo, one thing I could never figure out is what drugs the technical guys who programmed the upgrade prices are on. I've never seen car parts cost that much!!! The most expensive car part I've seen is the TRI-TURBO upgrade for the supra and that's on the suprastore.com for about 12k. I just dont get how the gran turismo guys came up with over $75,000.00 for a turbo upgrade, that in my humble opinion has no . . absolutely no logical reason.

peace

[nlzmo400r]

well, look at how much money you make in each race, a few of the cars are oddly priced, such as the cobra R, which is priced at 31k

[lessthanjakejohn]

That is way possible. Compare it to the price of an F1 engine, not to the price of a bolton turbo upgrade, plus they are credits, not actual american dollars. Credits are easy to come by also. In a few days i had amassed half a million and i didn't play too much.

[240SXedUp]

Man, Ive never even played Grand Turismo. Ill be playing it for sure now that Ive heard all of this stuff! I dont own a PS2. I usually get my video game kicks on my comp with EverQuest, Startcraft, and Tom Clancy games

[240SXedUp]

And what about Midnight Club 2. Is that a good game? Looks like it could be really good or really gay from what Ive seen on the commercials.

[nlzmo400r]

midnight club is an iffy game, id rent it, but not worth the $5o, thats for damn sure, its beatabe within a couple days

:bowdown J-Spec Tuner is my Idol :bowdown

Gee thanks Big Jon! :thumbup

Oh yeah on the supra turbo upgrade comment, i saw a 2 turbo set up for $30,000 on the internet a looong while ago.
