Sorry if this has been answered already, but I searched and came up with nothing. Are the car descriptions in GT4 scrolling-based like in GT3, or easier to read like in GT2? I've found myself going through GT2 reading about cars...it's interesting.
 
Or maybe just with more lines than the 1 liner in GT3, and that way it's impossible to let it scroll sideways, just ONE SHORT block of text would be handy 👍 💡 :)
 
Yes, the descriptions scroll, at least on my NTSC-J version....maybe it will be redesigned for the NA and PAL releases but I wouldn't hold my breath. If anything it is slower than GT3s and in a smaller font (even for Japanese).

I too liked the GT2 version, learned alot that way.

However in GT4 in the free run mode on circuits in gtmode you can turn "narration" on which basically talks all about your car. Not available for all cars though and is the same info in the "reference guide' that came with the NTSC-J version...which who knwos if it will come with the NA release.

A little supplement, you can pause the scrolling text by holding L3.

Thanks, that clears a lot up, it can't get worse than that, cause we've got a good feature from the start, they can't just delete it for PAL/NA, they just won't :) 👍

I think he was talking about GT3 :indiff:
 
Thanks for the info maskrider, small font shouldn't be a problem now i have a 28'' flatscreen in my bedroom :dopey: pleased to hear it can at least be paused.

Nice, i want to read the whole text instead of waiting.. :indiff:

Thanks maskrider too, 👍.
 
How about for the parts and adjustment descriptions? I'd really hate it those were scrolling. I've never been patient enough to read it all and I'd like to become better at adjusting the settings for my car.

Here's a good place to start: http://gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=28326

even though it's for GT3. I'm sure something like this will be posted on GT4 pretty soon as well. These are always more helpful than the GT3 text.

Sounds very interesting.
 
where do i find the car discriptions/ info in gt4 north america version? don't tell me they just omitted it from gt4! that would be totaly uncool.
 
Seems like PD have removed the descriptions for Korean, Chinese and American versions. I doubt the PAL version will have it either.
