GT4 drifting?

[Reinner]

How realistic is GT4 drifting wise?

I have heard from other people that it has helped them learn a few things about drifting, and I was just wondering if this was true.

Can you learn anything from this video game?

the only thing u can learn from a game is say, the racing line around a real track that you'll prolly never get to race on in real life.there's no substitue for real seat time.

u wanna learn to drift??...find a empty lot, and start practicing.

GT4 sucks for drifting, as do most video games. GT4 is espically bad because it has insane snap oversteer. GT3 is a better idea on how the basics of drifting work, still not great. a PC game called live for speed is probably the closest thing out there to drifting. unforutionatley it still falls short of the real thing. go out and try it. nothing replaced real seat time.

[yeap]

GT4 is about grip and line. So far my favorite drift game is ralisport challenge 2 for xbox.

no in GT4 you could drift maybe you suck at it or the way you set up your car but i have no problem drifting i think GT4 is better than GT3

[yeap]

Maybe I do suck at it, but the game isnt geared torwards drifting. It has the familar feeling of the open diff snap back, and spins out in most situations that you actually could drift. So whats your secret? What car do you use?

do u want my sileighty drift setting's???

[nismostate]

yes

[214kka-et240sx]

ok my setting are stock *** cars no suspention dont

sorry dude, GT4 is nothing like real life drifting. ive never driven a car that has snap oversteer like that, that isnt broken or missing a vital suspension component.

NOTE : drifting in GT4 is not as "smooth" as it is in GT3, it's difficult to keep "drift" momentum through larger sweeping corner's.

[Sockington]

GT3 had the long smooth drifts covered.GT4 has that damn snap-oversteer where it either isn't quite enough to slide all the way through or whips you into the nearest solid object.

I vote GT3 for drift-ease.Realism - Seat or nothing. (Mind you, GT3 taught me a lot about weight transfer techniques)

[Project S13]

I liked GT4 a little better than 3 myself, but maybe my opinion would change if I went back and tried it now ::Like everyone else said, video game drifting is more for fun than for real.

Nice settings slappy

Nice settings slappy

cool, thank's..

[tonis56]

np, im using them now with gymkhana

A while back I started a thread with some GT4 drifting shots. Check it out zerothread?id=106733

[Dano]

dam, us phoenix folk own you all, i have a memory card just for GT4 drift cars, 30 out of the 60 cars don't have snap oversteer issues

[yeap]

Well...? Tell us which ones your using. So far I enjoy the new Lotus Elise, but it's still hard to rail through corners sideways.

Take the GT4 disc out of your ps2.Get in your car drive to an empty parking lot.Put the disc with shiny side up.Now drift around the disc.That's how GT4 helps you drift.

I think GT-4 is a lot more realistic drifting wise than GT-3. I think you guys have problems with "snap oversteer" because your probably countersteering too much. You have to remember the steering in GT-4 is a lot more sensitive than GT-3 (because it utilizes a 900degree steering system). You have to be EXTRA gental if your using the dual shock. I'm trying to post up videos of me drifting in GT-4 connecting multiple turns at regular "drift" speed, but my FTP is acting. I will post my settings later, which took me awhile to figure out. Throttle play is also more sensitive. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER, DRIFTING IN REAL LIFE ISN'T EASY, so that's probably whymany people have a hard time drifting in GT-4, because they have no real life experience.

Oh yeah, I've been drifting since 2001 in real life. Here's a video of me drifting an open diff car (I didn't get a chance to install my LSD from my old car). It has a stock KA24DE with only suspension upgrades. I'm approaching at 55-70 at each initial drift. The tires were almost gone.

lol, true.

In GT3 you can do mini drift circles in a counterlock position. In GT4 the tires do not provide enought movement except on high speed drifts. I would say GT3 had better drifting in it. GT4 is more throttle based drifting rather than countersteer + throttle.

[Florida240sx]

Nice drifts man. Got any more vids?

I completely agree.

[masticatingcow]

As much as I hate to say it, I've tried drifting in GT4 (yeah, I'm a videogame loserface, LOL. Get over it) and USUALLY failed miserably. The only exceptions are in AWD drive cars, like Evos and Skylines even, and in HEAVY RWD cars, like the 300ZX and the like. Even then, it's less about countersteer and more about lateral weight transfer and feint in long, sweeping (high speed) turns. I still like the game and if it satisfies you, then it's a real cheap alternative if getting out there are messing up your car. A big part of why I've hard a hard time drifting my 240sx in REAL LIFE is that it IS my DD, and I work, go to school, have family obligations, have a girlfriend (who doesn't drive, BTW) etc etc. It makes my drifts timid, my countersteer sometimes erratic, and my throttle control usually limited to ON or OFF. LOL, okay, it's not that bad, but I know I'd get more out of seat time if wasn't always so worried about wrecking my car. I'm hoping to change the fact that I rely so heavily on this single car for everything (read: buy another car), but for now, GT4 is an excellent drift-idiot (me) savant.

Live For Speed is the best game ever created.

GT4 is great for learning the steering feel in drifting. The snap oversteer is due to the fact that you are using a controller instead of a steering wheel. All you can do with an analoug stick is go full left or right. Unless you are so insanely presice while drifting that you can just push the stick little by little, anyway...

Its great for learning if you have a wheel, i'd get the old logitec one that came with GT3, unless you wan't to spend $150 for a video game steering wheel, then get the new GT4 wheel. Both have the awesome resistance feedback. You can feel the wheel turn the oposite direction when drifting, just like in real life, so you can get a pretty good feel for it.

GT4 is much more realistic than GT3, that is the reason for the snap oversteer. It's made to be used with a wheel. Try taking the wheel and pedals out of your car and drifting with a ps2 controller. Yeah, it won't work, you'll snap oversteer and crash, like in GT4.

yea what he said , gt4 is way better them gt3 for drifting, as for my settings for drifting

s13 silvia

stock settings

no up grades , i will try to post up a vid of me drifting.

you guy's go out and drift real life, i have been drifting since 1999 and gt4 is the best drifting game there is, but that is my opinion

[hot97sx]

try winning the falken fc3s rx-7. easy to drift
