GT3 on line

[millcreek]

Is it possible to play GT3 online? I think it would be very cool to challenge other racers in full screen mode.

 

[Viper_Maniac]

Online? Nope. You gonna have to wait for GT4 to get that.

 

[Speed Master]

In the computer version you can, but Viper Maniac Is Right.

 

[mindless_dude]

there is no gt3 for pc!!!

 

[Ducati]

In the computer version you can

what is with you guys spreading these rumours!! everyone knows that PS2 emulation is NOT POSSIBLE at this time, let alone converting a PS2 game to actually connect via the internet that WASNT DESIGNED TO, and actually SYNCHRONIZE the racers....there is alot that goes into making an online racing game, and sorry bud but there is no possible way that GT3 could ever be slapped onto a PC and just made into an online game.

sorry for the outburst but people like you are the ones that create so much confusion.....

i dont even know why i bother asking myself what his motives were

 

[Thio]

if there is a way to play GT3 on the computer, prove it

 

[Ducati]

don't bother thio...he's full of it, the only way to have it on your computer is to hook your PS2 up to it through your graphics card, that is, if you graphics card is capable.
and that certainly won't magically produce online capabilities for GT3

silly bullshi*ters

 

[Thio]

lol, i wanna see if he can prove it or not

of course people can play their PS2 on the computer, just hook it up through the TV Tuner Card or Video Card and just play it on your monitor. that's what yu do to

































RECORD REPLAYS AND OTHER STUFF

yu noe tho, there are hackers/programmers that can do it. the question is: why would they do it? since yu need GT3 in order to manipulate it, why not you just play it on your PS2? also, these people don't understand why the cost of games are so high. guess, it's down there somewhere .

PEOPLE WHO BUY THE GAME ILLEGALY AND STEAL IT FROM THE ORIGINAL MAKES THE GAMES SO EXPENSIVE. PEOPLE WHO DO THIS SHOULD BE PUNISHED BECAUSE IN THE FUTURE, THE PRICES OF GAMES WOULD BE SO EXPENSIVE THAT IT WON'T BE WORTH IT ANYMORE

 

[Ducati]

power to thio! lol you are so right....im sick of emulation period....if it were'nt for the fact that i made it to 98.68% through GT2 on my computer, id probobly complain more....but hey i miss being able to take screenshots all the time....i had like 180 different screenshots from GT2 of cars i liked....and i wish i could do the same with GT3 cuz the graphics are ssooooo much better! ugh i can't beleive i actually made it through GT2 in the first place! the manufacturer events were BRUTAL!!

 

[Thio]

LOL yeah, the manufacturer races were just like this through the stages:



@ least with my experience with it

the thing is tho, people have to realize that sooner or later they will have to pay the actual price of the video games

I wonder - and I'm not electronically minded at all, so disregard this if it's complete nonsense - if there's anyway to jury-rig the iLink so it could receive data over the net or via a phone line - I imagine data flow rates would make it completely impossible.

 

[Thio]

what do yu mean by jury-rig?

back to yur question: i don't think so or else why would they have a network adapter made especially for the PS2?

That's actually quite clever - you should be able to rig the iLink to a computer's iLink port or put them both in the HUB and capture and analyse the data. Yeah, iLink is screaming fast and if the full capacity is being used then it's going to be impossible, but if not, then it might just be possible to pull this off. Don't think anyone will manage to get it done before GT4 is out though. Then again, it would allow a programmer to develop his own A.I. driver ... now there's a wild (and extremely tough) idea!

Extremely tough, cause you still need to recreate big parts of GT3 for the model to work properly, as you'll have no feedback on crashes, though then again maybe you can have it learn the track completely by determining best speed in any direction. Might take a while but it could work And of course you could make it learn from input from other good drivers, stuff like that, but it would still need some extra work on collisions & stuff, keeping track of the positions and dimensions of the other cars and take those into account - pfew! the insanity!

But relaying the data could actually work - it just depends if the speeds that can be attained are high enough, as you don't know if GT3 has any synchronising in there or if it just goes realtime without much synching because iLink is so fast, or because the synching is not capable of catching something that's much slower than iLink. In theory it should definitely be possible though.

oh how i wish it could be done! we would havto have like 45 rocket scientists picking away at a PS2...i know the PS2 is capable of online....but im talking about GT3, you can't change a game that's already been designed not to have online....
well that's just my opinion...if someone can do it we'd all pay you a thousand bucks....
