hello, i was jsut wondering if anyone has read that article on drifting in wired magazine. while i was going through the website, www.DriftCentral.com i just read that article. and here's an intersting quote from it.

Which is why Kazunori has come to E3 this year: to announce that Gran Turismo 4 will have a new physics engine - the first overhaul since GT2 came out, in 1996. The game press will go on to debate whether the new Gran Turismo physics formulas are really superior to those of its predecessors. But for Kazunori, the answer is clear: The game is better because it drifts better. So much better, in fact, that GT4 will have a brand-new Drift Battle mode: a D1-like event, with virtual judges scoring the contestants' competence and flair. "Drifting exists in the world, as do competitions," Kazunori says. "Not including them in Gran Turismo 4 would be unnatural."

btw, is anyone going to D1 next saturday?
 
Ijust hope that the way in which they are scored is basically based on technical stuff not just length of the drift or something like that... but real techniques and stuff... you know so that e brakes aren't the only way to suceed... Hopefully even the scores will be divided up in ways like we do here... but that might be too much to hope for...
 
Wouldn't it be kinda like tony hawks?
So the longer you hold the car in the drift, the more points you get and the bigger angle it is = more points. Then if you link drifts and do feints it multiplys the score. I think that would be pretty cool.

don't take that back... that game does suk!

anyway, Drift Competitions in GT4 huh? hmmm¿
so would you think that there's gonna be "drift course" layouts? or just the tracks itself that you have to drift on?
 
I do think there will be "specific" courses for drifting....
Just imagine when Cudaman, Thio, SilviaDrifter, Bustwave and many other great drifters are drifting together.... man.... its gonna be super cool....it turns me on too ....
:lol:
 
Maybe the senior drifters can also use the internet capabilities to help teach amatuers how to drift. Have someone demonstrate then have the others tryu the same, or something along those lines.
 
It could help. Instead of having new people bug the senior drifters, the seniors can just teach them, or guide them in the right direction. I know I need the help. I can drift a little decent, but some type of guidance would help me, and others.

this guy is on your guys' nu†z:lol:
 
The downside to having actual drift modes in GT4 is that the drifting will probably be alot easier. If there's one thing I really enjoy about drifting in GT3, its the difficulty involved. Im worried that the drift mode will be more like that of NFS:U. Oh god I hope its just as hard as it is now :lol:
 
I'm not a big fan of Online gaming but I'd actually think it would be interesting to have drifting online because then you wouldn't have to post your vids online.
 
well lets just hope that theyll match the D1 style events in the game with some D1 cars...i dream to see the signal auto fleet in the game *drools on keyboard*
 
I'll still be making vids after GT4 comes out. I heard we won't be able to use our own garage cars online, so some D1 styled cars and sim tires would be very nice to use online.
