Anyone Like Nike?

[criscross79]

Incase anyone is interested there will be a GT4: Nike edition
Here is the article http://www.g4techtv.com/html/news.asp?news_key=567&news_page=1&gamingnews_page=1&article_page=

"Sony has announced a limited edition "Nike version" for their upcoming Gran Turismo 4 that will include Gran Turismo 4, a pair of Nike Shox, a Nike t-shirt, and a briefcase to store it all in. And for those who own a Sony Eye Toy will also be able to unlock a car designed by Nike by wearing the t-shirt in front of the Eye Toy's sensor. Not too shabby. The limited Nike edition will be released on December 3 in Japan for 33,600 Yen, which roughly translates to $318 in U.S. dollars. But, remember it's a limited edition and only 1,000 will be made."

Don't really see the worth with this one. For that price they could at least include the Eye Toy and a PS2.

Uhhh, right, if that's the only way to get that Nike car, it better not be anything great.

The Eyetoy thing is probably just a gimmick. I doubt PD would keep the rest of us from enjoying the car. My guess is that it's a regular prize car that's unlocked at some point in the game if you just play it. But if you're use the Eyetoy thing, you can get it from the get-go in Arcade mode (but still have to win it in Career mode). That's my guess.

What a sad marketing plot.

"And if signs that it was drawn on the "NIKE/GRAN TURISMO Limited Edition T-shirt" with the "EyeToy" camera are photoed, original car"NIKE ONE" will appear in a game. In addition, even if the "EyeToy" camera is not used for this "NIKE ONE", it is made to appear to also fulfill certain conditions in a game."

Crap...I wanted to drive that car...

 

[VT]

that better not count against 100% ..

 

[Hyde]

who cares
we will be able to unlock it with gameshark anyways

and maybe there will be Ferrari models hidden inside the game.

 

[VT]

too bad I don't use cheats ..

 

[Iceman]

That is a really, really strange marketing ploy. Why would you mix cars and shoes?

 

[donbenni]

It's just advertising/sponsorship. Why would you mix cigarettes with F1?

 

[mclaren777]

So how long do you guys think it will take for that shirt pattern to make it onto the internet? From what I gather, all you'd need to do is copy that pattern onto a black piece of cloth/cardboard/whatever and then hold it up to your Eye Toy.

 

[Solid Lifters]

You will still get the car. You wont get the special paint job, is all. The article says you can get the car right away with a Nike shirt and Sony Eye Toy. But, if you don' have either of them, no big deal. You can unlock the car by performing a certain task.

 

[DeltaS4]

Is Nike car real car? I mean has someone build it in real life?

 

[prisonermonkeys]

It was planned by a designer at Nike. It's called the Nike One '22 because it is a design for a 2022 model of car, built by Nike. Why you would want a car that looks like a shoe is beyond me. Why PD felt the need to include it is even further beyond me. Gran Turismo is about realism. The Nike One '22 isn't.

 

[Omnis]

more like 2202.

 

[RedOak]

Hey, when you buy the Pagani ZOnda, it comes with a pair of shoes...

 

[Sambert]

Hey, when you buy the Pagani ZOnda, it comes with a pair of shoes...

…made by the pope’s very own cobbler. Oh, don’t forget the matching hand tailored brief cases.

 

[SSJChar]

what? theyre nike shox? boooo! they should be nike racing shoes.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I think Kaz said that they ARE racing shoes. Then again I have no idea what "shox" are (speak English, will you?!) so I probably have no idea what I'm talking about.

 

[RoyalBobcatGTO]

It's just advertising/sponsorship. Why would you mix cigarettes with F1?

Its a bit different since nike has actually designed a car, I haven't seen any cigarette company designed cars at the f1 yet.

 

[Layzie]

Wonder if this thing would work....

 

[SSJChar]

im sure alot of press took pictures of the shirt, so even if that one doesnt work, im sure they can make on that works, just from all the pictures.
