Why hasn't there been any talk

About the pitcrews in that will be in gt4. I'm yet to see a magazine discuss that and what about the animated crowds that cheer you on when you're racing. I remember game informer talked about the pit crew like you will be able to upgrade them and talked about animated crowds are in works but that's it, I don't see any other magazine talking about that.

Because maybe it wont be in the game. I'm sure the magazines asked, and they got that same answer. It could have been just an idea PD was playing with. Just like the flame exhaust pic we all have come to love. Or maybe PD wanted it to be a surprise.

Perhaps there was no time to put it in the game since Sony wanted to have a world release date for GT4 before Christmas. Although there is a release date for January 7 for North America at several game websites, it seems to stupid to me if Sony just missed the Christmas sales bonanza.

I think no one talk because this is nothing so special (I mean it's just an animation that loads everytime you go on pits)

Looks like they got time to make animations.

Yeah I too have seen some pics of the animated crowds and pit crew, so obviously it would be in the game, I doubt they would have wasted their own time making an animated pit crew, and then decided to take it out, I doubt it!

They could have tried and it didn't work. But, we don't know this because PD hasn't said anything about it. So, you might not wanna get your hopes up just yet. Wait till they confirm it.

Noone ever said I had my hopes up, I was trying to make a point.

My guess is that the pit crews and crowds you see are just gonna be in the intro movie. It would be too taxing on the PS2 to run all of them in game while maintaing a smooth framerate.

You know, GT3 only used up 25% of the PS2's power. Just think about that, they are capible (sp?) of doing alot more things!

Now that's not true! It used 90%, but GT4 will use 100%.

I seriously doubt PS2 is able to have all of that in game.

I have posted images from the pit crew video previously (do a search to find them), and recently I found the video they came from... click here for video

thanks to iceman @ granturismo.de for finding it... he has a great post in the forum with all the links he has found click here for link to forum

And that's real time because I noticed afew jaggies on the car, that might be the gt4 engine, damn the ps2 is more powerful than we thought.

BTW
If you guys don't believe the ps2 is powerful come to scea boards, you might learn something like I have lol

90% or 25% ?
"...This is the question..."

Who is right? there's big difference between 25% and 90%!!!!!
In my opinion GT3 use ~90%

p.s maybe NFS use 25%

Looks like we are chasing the wild goose tonight.

lol bow down to the almighty PS2 for it is a god.

Thats what I heard anyways. I read that at SO many places! If GT4 has crowds and pit crews I would not think it would slow down the framerate a considerable amount.

In Gt Concept we already see some slowdown (in replays)
I don't know if this is because the game use at the max PS2 or if it's an error of programing the game.

The key is don't believe the hype.

As for slowdown in GTC its coz of hardware limitations, they can optimise the code a bit more to help allieviate things but I'd expect more slowdown in GT4 if they improve the graphics much more. Like GT2 had a lot of slow down, more so than GT1.
