GT4 Prologue PAL 2 Images

today from International Automobile Room of Madrid 2004

I had played this morning, n I'm sure that the game runs at 60hz

:cool:

code_kev · May 23, 2004

60hz, w00t.

l33tc4k30fd00m · May 23, 2004

Uh wasn't it confirmed that there was no 60hz mode?

code_kev · May 23, 2004

oh no, your kidding? damn it

zoco · May 23, 2004

to l33tc4k30fd00m : I'm 90% sure that this game runs at 60hz, but this is only my opinion. the next wednesday will be confirmed

GTXLR · May 23, 2004

If it is not in an option menu to select, It is 50hz as some PAL tvs will not support it.

zoco · May 24, 2004

itself be not to explained it in english, I have not seen the hertzs election menu, but I am almost sure that I have played 60hz

Live For Speed · May 24, 2004

Does GT3 run on 50hz??? i never knew that :odd:

I hope GT4 is 60hz then, cause my TV can surely support it. If not i'll be dissapointed, is there a very big noticable difference on how the game runs on 50 and 60hz??

From that screen of the fuji track, it looks that they have improved the environmental detail big time from Prologue!!!

That's 50hz - you can see the black border at the bottom.

I think Sony do a good job with PAL conversions and it looks better than the NTSC version because of the higher resolution.

code_kev · May 24, 2004

a good job? 50hz conversions is what lazy companys do

A good point but at least it is not like the Ridge Racer V conversion

The problem is that companies have to put two games on one disk, one for 50Hz and the other for 60Hz which is why Sony cannot fit both versions on to the DVD.

I think Sony should have a 60Hz option in their next console like Xbox so that games developers do not have to worry about this and people with modern televisions can play in 60Hz option.

does it really matter in terms of picture quality?

Live For Speed · May 24, 2004

^^^^ GT on X-Box is never happening, the next console that GT will be on is only PS3 undoubtably (no i'm not an x-box hater, i own both PS2 and X-Box) only then GT will probably have a damage engine, will have a driver in every car, skid marks, reverse lights, 3D rims and much more.

No one answered my quesion, what is the difference between 50 and 60hz?? i have GT3 Pal and it does not run full screen, is it because it runs at 50hz? I aslo have an imported version of prologue from Japan and the game runs on full screen, is this because it runs at 60hz???

it´s not to explain in only a few words.
i´d suggest you do a search

💡
on the net of course, keywords should be PAL, NTSC and television.
result would be, amongst others, this site.
but it´s only about the technical aspect, converting NTSC games into PAL ones is another story, but not tonight.
:trouble:

Does it really matter if the damn demo is 50hz, or 60hz? No! I bet not one of you can tell the difference anyway, so why should it matter to you?

I have an HDTV and a HD PVR. The HD PVR converts the 60hz video into 48hz, inorder to save disc space, and I can hardly notice the difference, and I have pretty good eye too.

50hz - slower refresh rate, black borders, better image quality.

60hz - faster refresh rate, full screen, reduced image quality.

But I'd take 60hz anyday over 50hz just for the improved speed.

Thanks my local blockbuster for the early release of the game to me.

MadduckUK · May 25, 2004

blockbuster? are you in the UK?

ScoopexUK · May 25, 2004

Yes m8 and they only had the one copy.

Solid Lifters · May 25, 2004

It's funny how he forgot to focus when he was taking a pic of the Focus.

ScoopexUK · May 25, 2004

In game shots bit blurry but hey you get the idea.

rofl.

Nice pics man, do you mean GT4 Prologue though?

ScoopexUK · May 25, 2004

Yeah...

MadduckUK · May 25, 2004

? that lost me....

Eagle · May 25, 2004

Which part?

I asked if he meant Prologue because he just said GT4, I thought they might have been E3 shots or something he took, I know that's a bit far fetched but it's best to clarify than assume.

As for the Colin thing, there was a famous clip for a while, Colin missed a pace note cause he was having a frustrating rally and hit the side of the road and Nicky Grist calmly said "Listen to me Colin". Scoopex emulated that feat saying hi to the barrier in the shot I quoted.

redhed17 · May 25, 2004

A game running at 50 Hz doesn't nessessarily have to have a border compared to the same game that was originally 60Hz NTSC. It's down to the laziness of the conversion.

You do not need 2 versions of the game on 1 disc, just different code at the output stage.

I can't wait to get my copy of Prologue, hopefully Wednesday.

zoco · May 25, 2004

less than 24h to have my GT4P. the wait is unbearable, less badly than we have GT3/GTC :banghead:
