I have been searching the web and forums like this one for info on GT4, but so many conflicting rumours exist?
But I just picked up a copy of a UK PS2 mag ÒPLAYÓ which had the following infoÉ

This Quote is taken directly from issue 98 of ÒPLAYÓ a UK PS2 magazine

Gran Turismo 4

Sony Japan let slip some tantalising facts

ÒÉ.For starters all the major manufacturers are back and it seems they have consented to have their cars battered and bruised in the game as deformation and real time damage make an appearance for the first time in a gran turismo game.
Also on the cards are a selection of street racing circuits around Hong Kong as reports come in that members of Polyphony DigitalÕs GT4 team have been spotted mapping famous central areas of the islandÉÓ

Other information confirmed was the online play component of the game and downloading of cars over the net.

I hope this helps, I for one cant wait.
:D
 
**** man i hearing all these wierd things about GT4 you just wouldn't belive. I don't really know whats true from whats a rumor. After all the littlest rumor can spread like wild-fire on the net.
 
I'm personnally not going to accept any rumours as true until official information is out (including screenshots and other such things) or until the game comes out of course.
 
I've given up on Internet based rumors of any kind. Come to think of it, I never trusted them in the first place. About the only site I put any faith in anymore is CNN.com (:
 
from the gt4 free site:

We also have to consider the limitation of the media. While many restrictions have been removed in terms of hardware, we used almost all 4.7 GB on the DVD for Gran Turismo 3.

arent they gonna use the dual-layer dvd 9gb format instead of the single-layer 4gb?

When they bring out the PS3 maybe but I don't think they will with the PS2.
 
There isn't any reason the PS2 can't use a dual-layer DVD. I can't imagine filling one, tho.... >_<
 
they should use the dual-layer dvd though. think of all the cars and tracks they could cram into the disc. look at xenosaga, it uses dvd9 and it looks sweet (with huge 30 minute cut-scenes).
 
Even though GT3 is a huge game people still want more. More cars and more tracks.

We would all be happy with less duplicates ie how ever many skylines, lancers, miatas etc but in general we want more.

In the next game you could expect the better graphics and other improvements to take up some space so doubling the storage capacity looks like a good way to go.

For some reason though the developers seem reluctant to do so.

Oh, I agree...I was just saying that I can't imagine all the time and programming required to fill nine gigabytes.
 
My only concern with damage would be the AI unless it's fixed. Everyone would have to pit every lap and then put it in reverse and pit again shortly after the exit. lol.
 
If its not going to work then PD won't add the feature to the game as the creator of the GT series said that he makes the game so that it is best for him which is why its his facourite game. If it wasn't a good idea he wouldn't use it.:D
