I was looking through some of the original preliminary news about Gran turismo 4 and I found some pretty funny reports, my fav is the IGN article claim 2000 cars(dream on
)!! Feel free to post your own old news that looks funny in light of the newer confirmed reports....
"April 14, 2003 - According to several online gaming sites, including Magic Box and Spong, rumors are flying out of Japan claiming that Gran Turismo 4 will feature 2,000 cars, more than 100 tracks, and be fully compatible with the PS2 Network Adapter.
Additionally, the game is said to have a new online battle mode which allows up to eight players simultaneously. Rumors also suggest the inclusion of online car trading, and full support for voice chat using a compatible headset. If the rumored inclusion of voice chat is true, it would imply that the game may support only broadband connections due to bandwidth considerations.
While all of these details are strictly rumors, some border on believable, even likely. But having 2,000 cars and 100 tracks is pretty far out there. Still, stranger things have happened, and the prospect is intriguing nonetheless.
Expect a full blowout on Gran Turismo 4 at this year's E3. Until then, why not talk about the 2,000 cars you'd like to see in the game on our official Gran Turismo board. "
