Hidden secrets of GT3!

[Solid Lifters]

I am new here so I hope this isn't a repeat of info but I did a search ror "hidden secrets" and nothing came up for GT3 so here I go.

1.You can use the automatic transmission like a manual! Just press and hold down the R2 or L2 button to prevent the gears from changing. It works for upshifting as well as downshiftng.

2.In arcade mode , press L1 and R1 for selecting "professional" mode races.

3.Trial Mountain and Smokey Mountain have "BIGFOOT", or is it "BIGFEET", hidding in the trees.

And for a cool thing that's not really a secret is the Mazda RX-7 LM Race Car has the only "glow in the dark" racing number decal on its side. I want to see more of those in GT4!

I hope this helped and was considered a nice newbie gift for all of you.

If you have anymore please reply! I would love to hear them!

I knew most of them. Sorry.

Isn't that the RZ Badging?

 

[Solid Lifters]

What is(a) RZ Badging?

 

[Super-Supra]

Mazda RX-7 RZ. It's the model of a car in GT3.

 

[Solid Lifters]

Sorry, I did not list it was the LM race car version of the RX-7. I edited my post.

It's not a Bigfoot. How the hell would it manage in a tree at 200+ lbs?

It's a monkey - on Trial Mountain 1 the monkey sits in the tree (although if you turn round and look, it's vanished). On Trial Mountain 2 it's walking along a branch (again, turn round and it disappears).

 

[Solid Lifters]

A monkey? Cant't be, monkeys have tails. I don't see one on whatever that thing is. Besides, it looks too much like that "BIGFOOT" thing you used to see in that famous homemovie footage.

Bears weigh 200+ lbs. and they climb trees like squirrels.

 

[Super-Supra]

Only Young Bears Climb. Not Old ones.

 

[Famine]

A-ha! A true anthropolgist...

I was caught in two minds myself - the monkey on TM1 doesn't appear to have a tail, but the one on TM2 - with the same facial features - does. Additionally, most apes - with the exception of the Orang-utan - don't climb trees. And the "being" is about the same size as a large car tyre. So I'm pretty sure it's a monkey.

I posted this a while ago but in rome circuit(forget if its 1 or 2 or both)in the coleseum, you can see faces of the producers. http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/bjodom@sbcglobal.net/lst?.dir=/Brandon&.view=l posted some pictures. Hard to make out but you can see some of their hair.

I just checked this out with my HDTV and up close it is only three silhouettes done over and over again, but from a distance it does look like some people.


GT3 credits do show three producers.

1.Producer Kazunori Yamauchi

2.Executive Producer Akira Sato

Both of PD

3.Taku Imasaki, Producer of SCEA, production

Cool secret!

The 'Bigfoot' and the colliseum faces are both news to me, which is bizarre seeing as how I play GT3 so much, they should put my face on the side of the Polyphony Digital building on the Tokyo circuit!

So where about on the tracks can you see the mysterious monkey men??

1.Trial Mountain: Start the race and go past the first small tunnel. You will then turn to the right , then to the left and there should be a large tree branch that sticks out over the road. He/she/it is up on that branch.

2.Trial Mnt. II: The same place but you have to go "the wrong way" at the same place. This time he/she/it looks more like a "monkey" with a small baby hold on its backside that looks like a tail which is why some think it is a "monkey"

3.Rally Race Smokey Mountain: Just past the "Big White Wall" on the right hand side up in another tree.(White tree.)

4.Rally Race Smokey Mnt. II: same place with the same "monkey" "BIGFOOT" ape like thing. For these two races , it is best to see him/her/it in First Person Race mode.

I should also point out both the tree and branch have absolutely no leaves on them.

Hmmmm...

That first one is common knowledge, but I didn't know about the rest. Good finds!

BTW, welcome to GTP, mate!

 

[Touring Mars]

Just realised how I've never spotted these things before... I'm always concentrating on the race!!

btw, TY=Thank You (btw=by the way)

 

[Solid Lifters]

I am surprised nobody wrote in about the "smoking" airplane or the Grim Reaper yet.

I got an idea!.........just use manual

 

[Shinez AGAIN]

Holy crap..I never noticed the bigfoot..Lol..And that glowing # is cool....I wouldn't mind seeing more of those either..Cool finds

 

[JDM-AE86]

cool, is it really "glowing" or is it jsut reflective like all the LM race cars have on the sides? cuz if u watch em on tv when they racin @ night 4 endurance, the numbers on the side reflect off the light thats there, its the same stuff used on license plates, and 4 the bobo thing, its micheal jacksons "pet" monkey, wait nm thats bubbles

 

[WhiteCharisma85]

Or pogo.

That works in GT Concept as well.

I love stirring up Americans about GT Concept...
