GT4 PAL Version - Exclusive Cars?

Messages

Hi guys, sorry if this question has been asked before but I've been hearing rumours of some exclusive cars featuring in the PAL version of GT4. Like many of you i'm still waiting for March 9th to get my hands on a copy of GT4 and it would make sense that PD gave PAL gamers a few extras, which would definately make up for the fact that we only got 2 F1 cars in GT3 while everyone else got 6.

Two cars i've heard that will be PAL-only are the Jaguar XJR9 and Peugeot 905, can anyone confirm?

Any info appreciated ;)
 
Yes, look around the threads here, try to find AMars PAL update thread and read post 1 all the info on the PAL extra's are there. Overall theres 13 or 14 new cars in the PAL version.
 
Yep, but the North Americans have had to wait too, not quite as long as us but still. I don't care about exclusive content, I'm just happy to be getting GT4 in a week and a half for myself.
 
The US website has a pdf lile with the full car list, I know all those cars are in the NA release, and I believe they are the same in PAL.
 
So I ask again!? what would be the damn hold up if they aren't doing anything to the game!??! :dopey: geez.. I feel for you guys that haven't gotten it yet... it's irritating to wait for no reason.
 
They've been making all the disks, doing all the printing, packagin shipping ect, thats what the wait is for. All that doesn't happen overnight you know.

Yeah I realize that but depending on when they started... say if they started printing all the different regions at the sametime then why would it take longer from the Japan release?!?
 
They don't do all the printing at the same time, they do the Japanese game, then the convert the game for other regions ie PAL, then they've added content, tweaked the gameplay smoothed out some bugs ect, if they printed US and Europe manuals the same as the Japanese ones they wouldn't include info on the 2 player garage races ect that have been added. All the Japanese info needs translating, it's a lenthy process.

Even if the printing was done at the same time as the Japanese games you'd still have to wait for the game to be converted to PAL then the disks to be done then the packaging and shipping ect so it's still going to take a while.
 
The Korean version will have 5 cars you'll not find in any other version of GT4.

Maybe the Japanese and Chinese people who missed out our extras will buy this one instead and so they will end up with more cars and all the other content the NTSC and PAL versions have. So in the end the East will have the complete version again. :guilty: Oh well, it could have been worse, they could decide to not release GT4 outside of Japan. :)
 
I've only seen one car in the Korean version not in any other, the little Hyundai rally car.
 
Might be true, but the Click rally car is the only one I've actually seen.
 
The group C Jaguar is in the US version too. In fact, as far as I know there aren't any cars in the PAL version that aren't in the US version. It doesn't bother me.

Same here. But 'm kinda curious what the other cars will be. But I think (hope) they will not be very interesting like the other 13 ones we've got on the NSTC/U and PAL-version. Time will tell... :indiff:
