That vid rocks!!! The car sounds amazing, and those spectators are there for real, none of that "its CG" bull****

 

[-Fred-]

Damn, it looks so good...

 

[cobragt]

I can't see it, how do the animated crowds look? Crap?

 

[-Fred-]

See, people? They're flat.

Edit: What's the song playing in the video? Almost sounds good! Great to see the real EVO IV rally car, too.

 

[cobragt]

That suxs, well PD said they were using the final graphics engine but they didn't mention anything about the crowds or pitcrew.

 

[-Fred-]

Still no in game sight of the McLaren... And what's up with the cars you can select in the menu? There are like only 10 of them!

more vids:

NY gameplay 32mb
NY replay 33mb

Looking pretty good and fast, but there's still some work to do for Polyphony to get rid of the IQ problems. Hopefully there will be less schimmering in the full version of gt4.

PD arn't going to drop the fps down to 30 just so we can have 3d crowds, besides when your whizzing past them at 100Mph who cares if they're 2d. The pit crew is'nt in GTP but it will be in the final game, the graphics are as god as they will get but time and processing power permitting PD will add the rest of the touches like the pit crew and backfireing etc.

 

[cobragt]

The cars in the intro vid of GT4P are in game models? They looked ingame. But I doubt it.

 

[silverpuyo]

the first movie file isnt playing in my wmp.

do i need special codec?

 

[Ev0]

Why is there a honda odyssey in GT4? http://www.felixmcli.org/extlinks/gt4p/gt4p-cars-02.jpg

Otherwise this game looks absolutely stunning. It's shots like this that are making me wet my pants

*EDIT* Just watched the video,

Holy crap the game looks AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

 

[wdb]

Images are in widescreen format... Significance, dunno... Wish I had a widescreen...

 

[Soman]

A friend of mine will come over next weekend so we will take pics then of the game in action and all

He has the DC

Unlock the rest, i guess.

 

[Dave A]

Yeah I would think you would win a few cars for each race, we need to see pics of the F1, I have doubts that it's in, too many doubts, I need to be made happy and see some pics of it.

 

[fporto_br]

Hey Ev0, I think I know why the Odyssey is in the game...

Thanks to PD's promissed 500+ cars, I think we'll have the return of the Special Events, where only a single type of car can compete. Remember the Sport Sedan, Wagon and Compact car races in GT2?

That'll lead to "intense" tuned minivan races...

It's because you're outside the car, i think. Takes less place on your screen than a conventional, half circle unit. It's mostly like that in GT3, can't remember for GT and GT2, though.

 

[Dave A]

My GT3 has an analogue tach in or out the car, maybe it's an option.

Spirit R?

MAZKID! Inform me ...

Could be. But the specs and exterior appear to be standard.

 

[Dave A]

It's the final spec RX-7 of this generation, It's also the best perfomance RX-7 that rolls out of the factory, it's tuned a little by Mazdaspeed.

Oh. That makes sense. Thanks for sharing (:

Is there an actual "MazdaSpeed RX-7"?

 

[wee_man]

Found an article on it for you

Last Limited-Production Model of Mazda RX-7 'Spirit R' Unleashed
The final limited-production series of the RX-7, the Sprit R series goes on sale on April 22 at Mazda Anfini and selected Mazda dealerships throughout Japan.

The Type-A Spirit R is a two-seater model fitted with the Recaro-made exclusive red full bucket seats. These lightweight seats reduce the overall chassis weight of the vehicle by approximately 10 kg. Braking performance is enhanced through the use of large drilled type ventilated disk brakes for all four wheels and high rigid stainless mesh brake hoses. The Type-A Spirit R model is the ultimate RX-7, boasting the most outstanding driving performance in its history.

1,500 units of the RX-7 'Spirit R' series are sold only in Japan.

Np.

Yeah theres 2 of them for the road, the RX-7 A-spec and the RX-7 GT-C.

 

[LoudMusic]

Wow, that seems like a lot for a 'limited run'. Honda only made like 200 of the limited run NSX a few years back.

 

[ExigeEvan]

yay, finally, narrow rally tracks
