Almost forgot, the fact that you can't race the fireblade against other cars sucks. A car that nasty needs to be put up against other machines.
 
...HEY!!! Whats that SMELL?


ohh, it must be the !@#$

If there were a single layer version of the game in beta available - alot of folks with modded ps2's would be all over it. For security reasons I seriously doubt there was such a release.

Again I ask the question - Wheres the proof? Why should we belive you?
 
how do you guys know who he knows? I had a buddy that lived in town and we got to Beta test the origional Battlefield 1942, a few years back. I can't prove it but it happened. BTW that game was bugged beyond belief before release. :yuck:
 
Please don't get your hopes up folks.

I have no reason to doubt Hyde, so I choose to believe him. However there is no chance that PD will start adding new cars, or more options to a game that has already been released in part of the World.

They have just finished converting the game so this final level of bug testing is to help iron out any graphical glitches or translation/spellling mistakes.

Cheers, Jamie
 
Sorry Hyde, but even I must ask for proof. On the Internet, anyone can say something.

And no offense, but your post does sound like someone would say with "Cuz" and that. Really, though, most of the time, they'll be a little more professional in their posts.


The guy here who works as a CEO for Nissan Korea has already shown enough in his posts.

Sorry Hyde. You've been giving good information and a lot of the members here trust you. Don't ruin it.


The thread is already turned into a request thread anyways. Sorry Hyde, but I've got to ask.

Mods, can we have a lock?
 
That is pretty strong Mclaren, I admit that there is no real proof that he knows this person but there really isnt any proof that he is lying, and I have no reason to assume that.
 
i've tested all the benz in the game

only SL500 and SL55 offers the AT simulation, probably due to the fact they appeared in Prologue

saving in endurance might not happen. its not something they could easily implement with this save system.

what my friend currently is testing is if there is error in any of the cars, and tracks. they are getting the full version in about 2 weeks.

hopefully garage cars in arcade mode is back

my friend also said that the online part of the game didnt work at all.... there was too much they want for the online part, yet they could not trouble shoot it...
i'll let him know about the vertigo and RS6 being AT (i havnt even tried the car in GT4 yet, but i know in GT Concept, it was MT and not AT)
 
Every time a post like this gets made, KY pushes the release date one more day into the year. See now look. It is pushed until 3/14/05
 
That is really cool news Hyde :)
 
fangorn_forest
Not to be an ass, but I highly doubt you have a friend that works at Ferrari. :lol:
Wow, someone doesn't know what sarcasm is... Just... wow... :dunce:
 
BTW, this is one of the same guys who was saying <I BELIEVE!> in the January 18th release date topic at IGN. :lol:

EDIT: That refers to Fangorn_Forest.
 
That's good news Hyde, however, I'm 100% sure the current Mini Cooper S does have 6-speed manual gearbox. You can double check that in www.mini.com. However, if the mini on the game is not the current model, then it should be a 5 speed.

For bugs in the JP version, maybe you want to tell your friend to fix the typo on Lancia Delta Integrale Evolutione.. it was supposed to be Evoluzione I believe..

Cheers..!
 
The E55 in the game is listed as a 2002 model. In 2002 the E55 was still the old W210 body style, not the new W211.

i've just talked to my friend at SCEA about GT4, he said they just received a beta copy of GT4 in english, but incomplete cuz its on a Single Layer DVD instead of dual.

they are currently looking for bugs in the NA release and i've told them the following bugs/mistake i've found

1) NO Garage in arcade mode
- hopefully my friend can find out whats happened here and might have a chance to get it back in the NA release

2) Mini Cooper S have a 6 speed gear box not 5

3) Ford SVT Lightning is FR not 4WD

4)Mercedes Benz E55, SL500, SL55, SL65, SL600, SLR does not simulate as an Automatic transmission

if there are any more mistake and bugs, pls post here, so i'll forward it to my friend

cuz we might help change GT4

The Mini Cooper S has a six speed box; I am currently looking at a 2002 Mini price list (Mini part no - 9215100014606.02-2) and it quite clearly states that the Cooper S has a six speed gearbox.

Its the Mini One and Cooper that have the 5 speed gearbox, these two get the auto option as well, which is not availiable on the Cooper S.

Camaro, that could mean that that particular website will start shipping them on that date.

Stores could get it before it.

But 3/14/05 heh? Make a nice B-day gift. Just 1 day before My B-Day. Anyone feel like getting good ol' McLaren another copy of GT4. :sly: :)

I thought the S also gets a sport shift auto option?
 
Makes me wonder what happened to the other version of GT4.. the one that completed it's SCEA testing cycle back in November/December...

Its all just one big wonder, just like the US and Europe release dates. Only time will tell.

I'm sorry, but the Internet can be hard to believe at times.

We should give HYDE the benifit of the doubt befor we start bashing him.
this could be a turning point for the u.s.\pal release :bowdown:

benefit of doubt? how bout no? the guy is either lying (likley) or he's been made a fool by a friend of his (even more likley). there's no way he has a friend that just happens to be playing a single layer version of the "final" game, it's just bullcrap, PD wouldn't risk having a near final version in single layer in the first place, because it would be a huge piracy risk, it's double layer that will guarantee it won't get pirated for a while.

How can two people who don't know each other have the same exact story??? :odd:
 
From S4A's thread
http://gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=53045

Chevrolet

Corvette Z06 '00
--There was no Z06 in 2000.
--In-game car is missing the wire mesh in the front grilles. This is one of the distinguishing features that makes a Z06 a Z06, and it's an error that carries over from GT3.
Wire mesh pic: http://carad.ebayimg.com/i3/03/a/03/1e/61/d2_4.JPG

Camaro SS '00
--All 2000 Camaro SS models had a black roof, regardless of T-tops or not. In-game car is all body-color. This error carries over from GT3.

Camaro Z28 '97
--This car is actually an obscure Z28 with the 1LE road-racing package (only 48 built in 1997). The giveaways: body-color roof and side mirrors, and foglight delete. All other Z28s had fog lights and black roof/black mirrors standard.
--The in-game car has no exhaust tips
Exhaust pic: http://i4.ebayimg.com/01/i/02/f7/01/77_1_b.JPG

Camaro SS '69
--This is not a Camaro SS at all. All PD did was copy their '69 Z28 model and change the badges to read SS. There many things wrong with the in-game car, but the most obvious is that the hood and trunk stripes were a Z28-only item. The SS package included stripes on the side of the car.
Picture of a correct '69 SS:

Corvette Sting Ray '63
--PD gives us all 18 colors that Chevy offered in 1963. The problem? The '63 Corvette was only available in 7 of them, the rest were for other Chevy models only. I'll post which 7 are correct if anybody cares.

Dodge

Charger R/T '70
--The grille on the in-game car looks strange; almost transparent.
--The Charger nameplates on the rear roof pillars are absent.
--The Charger R/T came standard with a bumblebee tape stripe across the trunk and rear fenders. PD's car doesn't have it, but it's technically correct, since 20% of Charger R/T buyers in 1970 chose to delete the stripe.
--PD gives us all 31 colors that Dodge offered in 1970. The '70 Charger was only available in 20 of them, the rest were for other Dodge models only.

Charger Super Bee Hemi '71
--PD gives us all 29 colors that Dodge offered in 1971. The '71 Super Bee was only available in 19 of them, the rest were for other Dodge models only.

Plymouth

'cuda 440 Six Pack '71
--The rear side marker light on this car is missing. PD just modelled one giant billboard stripe.
Pic of side marker: http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/ima...01/IM004628.JPG
--PD gives us 27 colors that Plymouth offered in 1971. The '71 'cuda was only available in 18 of them, the rest were for other Plymouth models only. Plus, Lemon Twist was left out altogether. And if you really want to get obscure, the body-colored bumpers and grille on the game car were not available in all 'cuda colors.

'70 Superbird
--The Road Runner emblems are missing from the wing, the nosecone, and the trunk. I'm certain this is because Warner Brothers charges mega-$$$ to license the actual cartoon character, so PD said screw it.
Pics of logo: http://www.geocities.com/greatameri...0superbird3.jpg
http://musclecarrestorations.com/al...001/jbsb226.jpg
--The '70 Superbird was restricted to just 7 colors in real life. One of those 7 colors was special-order (Petty Blue) and it's missing from the game. PD just gives us all 28 standard 1970 Plymouth colors.

Ford

SVT Lightning
As discussed elsewhere on this forum, the in-game truck is 4WD, but the actual Lightning was FR only.

Shelby

GT-350R '65
--This car is way off in so many areas that I don't think they used an actual R-model as a basis for it. It looks more like a standard GT-350 that was converted.
 
I'm rather confused about this whole AT vs MT thing. In GT3 all the cars universally had one or the other based on how you set your options. Is that not the case in GT4? If a car is MT only in real life are you forced to drive it that way in the game? And the same for AT?
