GT4 car list!!!

[SmithSR]

They do cover every car's sound, as well as images from all angles, and they also intensely study handling dynamics..of every car they include. If you have been following the story closely(from all media sources) you might have a better understanding of the creator of the series, and his devotion to realism in all aspects.

The processes involved with creating such a realistic game are of the highest order, sparing no expense. With such great success with past titles, Polyphony has been given a blank check to create the very best driving simulator ever. Each time they release a title, it's is instantly recognized as the best driving game in the world. GT4 will be no different.

"there is no way they will cover every car's sound"

...on the contrary, this is exactly what they are doing.

very well said, and yes, the budget is HUGE, this game single handedly taught millions of people what a skyline GT-R is, or that Laguna Seca was a racetrack, cars such as the pagani zonda wouldve almost never been heard of here in the states if it werent for GT3, and now that they KNOW GT4 will make fajillions of dollars, they can spend basically whatever they want on making it, why do u think it takes so long to make the games, remeber how long gt3 got posponed ,it was originally entitled 'GT2ooo' and was slated for the launch of ps2 (october 16, 2ooo) however it was pushed back all the way until june 9, 2oo1, gt4 has been in the works since the realease of gt3, and polyphony knows they have to one-up themselves, and thats surely what they'll do

I agree with smith on this one Kazunori also said that he tries to drive as many of the cars in the game as he could. I cant find any game that goes into as much detail as GT. Hey nlzmo do you own MC2? Its alright I have a couple races left. Oh and TurboKA37, why dont you read the article on the creator in the Sept. issue of Super Street. It might help.

[SmithSR]

In case you dislike Super Street, go find the UK published EVOmagazine, June '03, pg 132-136. Best article and interview I've seen yet.

"Development team has grown from 6 people on Gran Turismo to more than 70 for GT4."

"I'm in the queue for sound recording, and as I gradually shuffle towards the gaggle of furry microphone-wielding technicians, the gnashing and snarling of hard-revved engines gets ever-louder. Now it's my turn. With a mic positioned by the exhaust pipe and another held above the bonnet, I'm instructed to start the 'Blade and let it idle for 10sec or so before switching off. Next, I have to fire it up and give it half a dozen meaty bilps before letting the motor return to tickover, then, settling at 1000rpm increments for five seconds at a time, work my way towards maximum revs. When we got to 8000rpm the sound technician is grimacing a little; by 10,000rpm we're both scrunching up our faces in preparation for the imminent explosion of valvegear and pistons. When it doesn't come I breathe a sigh of relief. Little do I know that all that remains is to repeat the process with the bonnet removed..."

--author, writing about his car(Caterham) being documented for inclusion in the game.

The proof has been presented to you. The GT series has been and will always be on top unless someone out does them, and that would be hard to do. Whether you see the light or not it doesnt matter to me. Thats your problem.

[dr!ft]

All I can say is GT4 looks frickin' sick. Can't wait to get sideways in either the Bugatti Veyron or Lambo Murcielago! Or the Daewoo! But I've heard alot about all the car testing those guys are going through. I think it's awsome that a video game development team is going through so much for their game. Go Polyphony!

[jdmfreak]

Yea Im getting that game the day it comes out.

[red240ne]

Yea Im getting that game the day it comes out.

no doubt, i'll camp out at best buy.

[jdmfreak]

When is the release date?

[dr!ft]

I've heard it's coming this Winter, but haven't heard of an exact realease date yet.

[jdmfreak]

Yea I read somewhere that the release date was on Dec. 26, 2003, but nothing official though.

[dr!ft]

They'll probably try and release it before Xmas. Hope they do at least.

[red240ne]

I've read November 15, December 18, December 26, January 16, Feb 2004, quarter 1 2004, etc. Who the hell knows, there's no official date.

[jdmfreak]

Yea that way my parents might buy it for me and my Christmas money could be spent on something else. Either way I will have that game.

[nlzmo400r]

they say winter o3, but like i said, we waited 1o months or so for gt3, so i expect qiute some time before gt4 comes out, perhaps around march or april o4, and jdmfreako3, u asked me if i had MC2, whats that?

[jdmfreak]

Midnight Club 2. You made references to it when you told me about your fastest car. I think you said that you achieved that speed by not cheating, drafting, or wheelies. If you were talking about something else then, my bad.

[dr!ft]

I'm sure they'd try and get it before Xmas because you know how big the Xmas season is for the video game companies. Hey, If it doesn't come before Xmas, there's always my b-day in January!

[nlzmo400r]

Midnight Club 2. You made references to it when you told me about your fastest car. I think you said that you achieved that speed by not cheating, drafting, or wheelies. If you were talking about something else then, my bad.

when i said cheating i meant gameshark or codes of some kind, when i said drafting, well, self explanatory, and when i said wheelies (there are certain suspension set-ups to make the escude do wheelies at about 25omph and gain speed estatically up to about 15oomph or so), but however, i dont own mc2, i have the first game, and have already beat the second, they are ok games, nothing special to me

[jdmfreak]

My bad. Explain to me about the wheelies have you done them your self. What suspension setups do you need to do this?

[SmithSR]

http://www.gtvault.com/SetupDi...BC741

Gtvault has good info. This link should be the correct settings for wheelies in Escudo.

[jdmfreak]

Smith thanks for the link. I got every thing right except the gear ratios right. I just cant get the #s that low. Have you tried it?

[jdmfreak]

OK, now I got 1st-3rd gear correct, but 4th-5th is just a couple hundreths under what they said. My car started to do the wheelie but it didnt go any higher when it topped out at 214mph.

[jdmfreak]

Also what is the 7th gear for? Can you use it?

[MasterMan]

g0d thats gonna be a sweet game..

[SmithSR]

Freak, try this onehttp://www.gtvault.com/SetupDi...AA741First 4.211 Second 2.642 Third 1.843 Fourth 1.358 Fifth 1.058 Sixth 0.800 Final 2.000 Auto Set 48

I use manual transmission and toy around with shift points both while accelerating at absurd speeds, and while trying to maintain top speed around the corners. If you time it all right, you can hold a speed of 250+ or so in the corner, and this will almost immediately cause you to lift off once on the straight. I just hit 1000mph briefly, so it does work.. there may be better settings...Thanks for bringing this up BTW, it's been a long time since I last played GT3.

[jdmfreak]

Thanks. That really helps. I just saved the settings so that my original settings wont get all messed up.

[nlzmo400r]

haha, i saved the settings as well, actually if u look at the lap times, even reaching 14oo mph, it still doesnt turn times around the test track faster than my viper, so its good for a laugh a couple times, other than that, pooh on it, its not too fun, im really running out of things to do on GT3, im on day 25oo or so, and im still having fun, but feel the end coming soon, are there any races in particular you guys would recommend that are *good* races for me to do, like perhaps using the 787B in the F1 races, those are fun, and i win too easy though, what do u guys do now?

[Und3rprshUr]

they can put in a 83 and 89 supra but can't put in a 84 -89 300zx turbo ?? im lost..

[GIJOE69]

Officialy comes out 1/06/2004

[Spoolin95GSX]

Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX ?97Good to finally have a game (aside from Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero) that has a DSM in it . However, I'm sure the Skylines will still dominate.
