its real, can be a pain in the a but im getting used to driving
 
With autosave off, does it ask you to save, like with amar212's copy?
 
i'm still playing around with parts
haven't progressed much in the game yet.
 
please confirm if the new PAL cars are in:
MAZDA 2005 MX-Crossport
Mitsubishi 2005 New Eclipse '06
Volkswagen 2004 Golf R32
AUDI 2003 Nuvolari quattro
AUDI 2003 Pikes Peak quattro
Chrysler 2005 300C Hemi
Alfa Romeo 2004 Alfa GT
Auto Union 1937 V16 Type C Streamliner
Chaparral 1967 2D
Chaparral 1970 2J
JAGUAR 1988 XJR9
Peugeot 1992 905B Evo 1 Bis LM
ProtoMotors Spirra

and if we got anything else, like a Corvette C6, Cadillac CTS-V
 
I know this is kind of a stupid question, but how is the packaging? Do we get the cool white case and books like the Japanese? I really hope we do. I dont kno why we always get the shaft in something so simple as game packaging.
 
Look in the "Feb 22" thread - there are many pictures in the later pages.
 
Can someone plz tell me if the game is really good...
suspense is killing me. T_T
 
I see all those cars except the Chaps, but only because I didn't know where to look for them :P Sadly no C6 or new caddy :(((

My box is just a black dvd case with the typical inset under the plastic like any other dvd. The instruction book is kind of lame, too.
 
would i have enough money to buy a stock m3 csl, from the imported money and the money i start out with.

You would be less than 4k short of it. Though honestly, you can get 250k in just 2 races doing the second 'special conditions' race. So money is really really not a problem.
 
Everyone with gt4, flood this thread with gt4 info even if it seems pointless i wanna know everything :crazy: !

Anything you wanna know, don't feel bad asking. I'm sitting here with my laptop playing GT4, listening to Around the Horn, and refreshing this page :P

A lot of these cares are absolutely stunning to look at, I really like what I've seen so far. One thing I'm eager to see is how turbo lag is handled, so I might spend my cash and bolt on on real quick. By the way, my first ever lap on the ring was an 8:01:45 :P

One more thing I was wondering.. The parts you buy at the various tuner shops are the same as all the others, so the Amuse exhausts are the same as the Nismo exhausts, etc.
 
Ok how are the engine and tyre noises in gt4, and does buying a racing muffler for eg make a diffrence too the sound in a good way? can you hear the turbos wind up?? waste gates etc etc
 
WOOO! im glad im bad at reading. makes me feel muuuch better. haha

dont know about the muffler but i heard my stock turbo screaming at the top of its lungs pushing my car to try and catch up to everybody else.

so would you say overall the sounds have improved ?
 
MS CSL fully tuned can only go up to around 535 ps so I don't think you should spend all your hard earned cash on that until later in the game when you have other toys.
 
Does anyone understand why the power outputs given at the beginning of the replay are different to those given everywhere else? I can only guess that it's power output at the wheels vs at the flywheel, but it seems stupid to list this only at the beginning of each replay...


Also is there a way to see the performance level of competing cars? I would prefer to race cars that are not overly powerful in comparison - I know that the A-Spec points give some indication, but what is a good level of points? My current races are around 70 points...

Something else I noticed was when tuning an Integra R, the redline seemed to shift (or at least the tacho now goes to 10,000). Does anyone have a reason for this? The limiter is still at 9,000 though.

Sorry to cram three points into one (relatively unrelated) thread...

If anyone has input on these points it would be a great help. Thanks.

To see what you are up against there is a watch race button but it'll cost you 1 day in GT4.

Did you NA tune the ITR?

I think im going too delete my gt3 save i dont want a head start in the game, in the beginning, when you dont have much money is the best part of the game, the races are much more a challenging

i agree with you i love being broke in the beginning sometimes ill start the game over just to do it again

Is the watch race the same as the preview? - I've done that but it only shows the power output of one car... It just seems wierd that it's kind of hidden.

Yeah, stage 2 NA with a port polish.

I attached two photos from Motegi - check out the adjustable camber :)

Did you find the Chaps yet or are they a negative? If you can't buy them at the dealer there is still a chance that they are exclusive as prize cars, similar to some in GT3.
 
Hi. I asked this in Amar's thread on the PAL version, but I would like to know a couple things about the NTSC version. Again, is the Ford SVT Ligthning FR in the game? Also, is the '05 Mustang FR? If you completed the license tests, how long does it take? Thanks. :)
 
ahhh i cant wait for demon camber in my crazy silvias..damn it! 3 more terrible hours!

That is the only way to see your opponents though. I don't think AI modify their car much at all.

NA tune will raise the redline.

You get a PD formula car as prize in one of the endurance race.

FORD pickup is in the game so is 05 Mustang. I don't remember the exact stats on the pickup (maybe 300ish ps) since I only been to FORD to modify my GT40.

It took me 3 days to finish the license test.

See I'm thinking the opposite... I've been in a few situations where AI have been able to hold on to me in cars that don't stand a chance.

I have a 300 odd hp FC RX7, and I've had trouble catching/staying ahead of FDs on straights, even if the AI ran wide or colided with each other.

Also I was being tailgated by an Opel Speedster Turbo, when I was in the Nismo 400R GTR (probably about 500hp). This is understandable maybe on a technical section, but it overtook me on a very long straight!

This is why I would prefer to see AI power outputs...


Thanks for the input on the NA tune also 9000. Did GT3 make this visible change (to the tacho/redline)?
