Do you think drifting has been canned?

[Overclocked412]

I seem to think it will be as there has been no information on it given, and it was removed from the TGS "Resorts" list, whereas it was on the resorts list back at E3

 

[Jedi2016]

Somewhat rediculous topic, with a "" as the only submitted information.

What is it you want us to discuss? Another wild rumor? Baseless speculation?

 

[Overclocked412]

I was having problems posting the poll

 

[McLaren]

Why would it? There's already 2 drift cars confirmed.

 

[BlackZ28]

I hope its canned.

 

[McLaren]

I hope its canned.

Why?

 

[BlackZ28]

I'd answer that but then it would start a war.

 

[Egghead]

It's in.

Or else i'm going to kill PD.

Let me tell you something. If drifting is gone, that's okay. Because GT4 players will still want to slide out like they're running away from the police. What's the point of including rally cars if there's no rally racing? What's the point of including Le Mans race cars if you don't have challenging enough tracks to race them on? And do you think these drift cars are for show? Honestly, I think this thread is going to be either locked up or dead. The one point I can perhaps manufacture from this deal is that we haven't heard too much in the way of drifting. That's about the only excuse I can provide. But other than that, this is basically like throwing an interception in American football. Or giving the opposing team a score because you committed an Own Goal.

But if you want an answer, I'd say that it's not canned. The worst GT was GT2 because of so many lacked features. You know, like a drag car without a legitimate drag strip. And let's not forget all these other cars left out of nowhere thay you have to unlock. GT4 will succeed in the execution department in my view. Others may not like drifting, but I'm at least wanting to give it a try. I've practiced up with the Mazda RX-7 and the R34 Skyline in GT4, so I'm ready to give it a shot.

Don't be afraid to try new things in GT4. And there are plenty of new things to try out. Just wait for December, granted you're not in Australia or Europe or some other place where GT4 is delayed.

 

[Superhero Wally]

Good point john, plus there is the fact that there has always been drifting in due to the fact that it's based on actusl phyisics, as to whether or not there will be set drift races i think so and man will they be a hoot.

 

[8400RPM]

Even if the Drifting mode does not make it in, we'll still be able to drift on our own. So, not a big loss.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Just because we don't get news on all the modes all the time doesn't mean something has been axed. With the removal of Online, I don't think PD are going to risk taking out much more.

 

[Corvette]

I hope that it won't be part of the game. Drifting is a just plain stupid activity..

 

[demon of speed]

But looks good on replays.

 

[Scaff]

I hope that it won't be part of the game. Drifting is a just plain stupid activity..

In your opinion!

I remember creating a similar thread to this at one point after TGS. At the time i did think it strange that there had been no media and very little information released about it, as when drag racing was announced we got ALOT of screens and a couple of videos. Now however we have seen a rendered drift cars and as John said 'why bother with them if there is no where to use them properly.?' One thing however is that we have heard of no drift specific tracks yet, maybe this means it has been canned, maybe it means we're going to do it on the games standard race tracks, maybe the're actually keeping something of the game a surprise for us. Only certain thing is that we will will know soon after the Japanese release.

As for actually being bothered about it or not i really can't say either way. The prospect never really got me that excited but i for this game imo more is better and i'd be happy to give it a go, i might even like it.

 

[Eldorado]

Drifting is fun as hell!

 

[Mukai]

Drifting is still in one of the event tents on the resort map. I'm looking forward drifting in special cars around matching corners e.g. Trial Mount - the turn after the long straight. With THAT physics drifting MUST be fun.

 

[livemusic]

I hope it´s in. I never learned how to drift on GT3. Actually I never tryed it too much. If GT4 has a drift mode, with tips on how to drift with different kind of cars, and maybe a drift school, it will be great!

 

[Homer_SS]

Everyone is so split on drifting. I personally think its great, with people going sideways and all.... to bad its been commercialised and destroyed. There are people like me who have been into it before it got into mainstream. But to everyone there own opinion.

 

[RacingFreak2k3]

I personally also like to drift. While i'm mostly a road racing kind of person, i love to get sideways and get points for it. Plus the drifts look awesome on replays . Now with photo mode, i can get a perfect shot of drifting a D1 skyline or something like that.

You'll learn very quick Take a MR or FR machine, lob the gas pedal, steer, accelerate again and "steer" with the gas pedal Steering with the Wheel/Stick is just for correction.

I'd like to see some D1 cars from VeilsideUSA esp. the D1 Lancer VIII and the D1 RX8.

 

[sUn]

No. Drifting is the main sport in Japan(right?).

So it's kindof obvious for them to include drifting in one of Japan's priemiere games.

 

[Nemo2]

drifting isnt an option they add, if they have realistic physics, then you can drift. So yes. Drifting will be included.

 

[wowitfoth]

The car physics in GT are spot on, you can get the real world principles here. Has anyone have any actual real world drifting stories? I own a SCCA legal Datsun 510 that I put in a 4 wheel drift for the first time by accident, (Had to change my shorts!) because I was doing about 60. But I never touched the brakes, just pushed in the clutch and I steered through it. My head was at full lock looking out the passenger window briefly! It was F-ing fantastic, so that is what those old timers are talking about! A 427 SC Cobra is a drift car, that's how you tame it. Drifting aint new, all things of past become new again. The old racers have been drifting for decades, what kills me is Front Wheel drive. Might as well be pulling a boat! Import Drags are hilarious, the burnouts look like a dog dragging it's butt across the carpet!

 

[Solid Lifters]

We haven't seen anything regarding drifting in GT4 in a long time. I say it's out. But, Kaz could be trying to keep it as a secret. Think about it. We've seen just over half the cars in the game so far. We've seen just over half of the tracks so far. Maybe we've just seen over half the modes or features of GT4 so far, and Dirfting Competition mode is in. Only time will tell if it's in.

 

[Giancarlo]

Remember, video game companies can't reveal absolutely everything they have. After all, San Andreas was never told to have the girlfriends system, i believe.

 

[spooony]

If they don't have specific tracks for drifting, then just take the car to Autumn Ring!

 

[Hyde]

Tsukuba is one of D1GP's courses...

if GT4's physics can really do drifting like the real thing.... then the drift competition in the game would be really hard....

even if there is no drift competition, u can always drift when and where u want in the game anyways

 

[RX-7_FC_DrIfteR]

My only fear is that, there going to make drifting like NFSU(need for speed undergound) . i would totaly kill my slef if they do.
