GT4 General Discussion and Questions

[PeterJB]

Non striped Fords GT are also counted as independent cars:tup:[/QUOTE]

That explains why the one i got from the Premium Sports Lounge didn't appear in Arcade Mode. Thanks.

You'll also find that you can't use your brand new non-striped Ford GT in either the Supercar Festival or the Premium Sports Lounge, for some bizarre reason.

What about "Never The Same Colour"

 

[Michael88]

NTSC= Never tested since christ.
PAL = Perfection at last.

 

[PeterJB]

Michael88, You speak the truth!

Do A-Spec points actually do anything? Or are they just there to loosely show your experience level?

They're pretty much for bragging rights only, you don't gain any prizes or anything based on A-spec totals.

 

[PeterJB]

that makes them seem terribly pointless

If you feel "points" in any game are pointless, then yes.

On the ther hand, some people like having points to gauge their own individual performance, and have no interest in showing them to others, nor do they feel they need to be awarded for their efforts by getting some locked features in a game from earning those points in the first place.

Does anyone know about the analyzer graph ? how does it work?

 

[Orion]

Which Audi TT had the FF problem with it?

Also is the Toyota MR2 S/C supposed to be lighter than a Toyota MR2 G? (Both 1986) Same goes for the MR2 Turbo and G Limited.

It shows your speed and fuel consumption at every point on the track.

If you are talking about the TT that has a a front end drive bias. I believe that was the TT Coupe 1.8T quattro. You can buy it new or used. (Kinda thought that was wierd.)

And as far as the MR2's. According to the used car list.
The MR2 1600 G comes in at 1120kg
The MR2 1600 G-Limited SC comes in at 1070

Funny, I thought that the one with the supercharger would have weighed more too. I guess not.

 

[Orion]

The TT is FF in GT4, but thanks for the info, watch, when you hold the E brake and X, the front wheels still spin, and a 4WD can't do that.

 

[Metar]

Nope, it's not FF - it just behaves like one. And to cure it (or at least improve it) - put on a VCD.

What Gingiba said.

racerx510: What Audi FF problem were you looking for??

 

[Orion]

One of them is FF and one of them is 4WD, but they are both labeled 4WD, PD messed up the FF/AWD thing with the 1.8T, as it is FF until 4WD grip is needed, they just forgot to program the haldex (Spelling?) system. The 1.8T IRL behaves like a FF, and the 4WD syste barely comes on though... There was proof about that somewhere on GTP. If only the rear wheels did something without the VCD, I drive my cars stock.

 

[Metar]

The real one is, 100%, 4WD - no doubt about that. There are options for an Fwd TT, but the version in GT4 is one with Quattro 4WD. I have rallied the car in Arcade mode for many laps around Chamonix and Yosemite, and it behaved just like a slightly-understeery 4WD should.

The 150hp Convertible and 180hp Coupe are both FWD.

225hp and 3.2V6 are 4WD.

I think.

Slightly??? The thing is FF, until you get a VCD, no other FF biased 4WD car can move the front wheels with the handbrake in GT4. Only an FF can do that, not a 4WD. (Unless you are talking about Need For Speed Underground or something, as the front wheels don't spin when on drift mode, it just revs in Neutral when you use the Handbrake and X. )

I wonder why PD said in GT3 that this Audi TT 1.8T Quattro was one of the best handling 4WD cars. By handling, they must mean the inability to oversteer. In real life however, the 1.8T lives up to the name quattro, only part time though.

 

[Vision GT]

I've just notice the FWD with the Audi Quattro TT 1.8. On the screen menu, it says "AWD" but when you launch with it, it doesn't take off like an AWD. Plus, you can hold the e-brake while pressing on the gas and it'll just sit there and burn out.

 

[Metar]

Well, an open differential is supposed to route power through the path of least resistance - when you lock the rears, the fronts are the path of least resistance.

 

[Orion]

Then why does the Audi A3 Quattro not do the same thing, even though it is a FF biased car?

 

[Metar]

No idea. I know that it behaves as a 4WD during rally-driving. And again - if a VCD solves it (which I said at the beginning), why won't you accept it? Do I look like PD to you?

Of course you don't, because if you was PD, I would wear promiscuous clothing and high heels and kiss your toes.

But really I was discussing how it's an FF stock, not arguing. Sure a VCD solves it, but what about driving it in arcade mode, or the liscense test? That can be a real pain. It is basically false advertisement, would you buy a Audi that is labeled 4WD, only to find out it is full time FF? 💡

 

[PARAGON GT]

At any rate, we all agree its the TT Coupe 1.8T quattro?

I agree you racerx510,and that was really important thing , it's seem PD messed up again.

Stick GT4 in - or, if you don't have it, ANY GT game.

What does the very first loading screen, after the SCEE notice, say?

Excellent point. I just think they could've got the drivetrain right atleast.

 

[Famine]

They don't even bother giving the Mazda 6 Concept or Nissan CUBE a drivetrain at all.

So feel lucky that they gave the Audi TT a merely incorrect drivetrain.

 

[Metar]

And thanks to that mistake, we can equip it with a correct one, or choose a Fwd Audi TT.
