Its not that I wont play gt5, or go out immediately and buy a ps3 soley for gt5, but when I have kids I will teach them the basics with gt1. When they get tired of that, gt2. I havent decided if they will play gt3. I do not have fond memories of that game. Once they are age 6-7 they can start gt4. I figure by the time they are ten they can move to gt5, and hopefully give me some good competition. Since I cant find any friends who provide decent competition, my offspring have been my only hope. The only person who can beat me, will have to come from me. :D
 
I haven't played GT4 since June 2009, which was when I started playing LOTRO.

It was the end of an era as I have put at least some miles in on a GT game of some sort practically every day since the original came out!

But LOTRO is losing its charm and I keep catching myself casting sideways glances at my G25 (which is in front of the racing seat to my right :)).

That sounds like it'll be fun. Jeez when I was 6, there was no such thing as a video game! Pong came out when I was maybe 11. If they had Gran Turismo when I was a kid, I'm pretty sure I'd have never graduated high school, middle school, or elementary school!
 
I'm definately still playing GT4 when GT5 comes out.
Well at least I plan on it, but GT5 could be so awesome I'll forget about GT4, but that's not likely.
 
I will keep playing GT4 until GT5 comes out, and I have to buy a PS3 to play it.

Translation: continue failing M34 until I toss the PS2 out the window, followed by a hammer, and possibly incendiary device.

(PAL drivers need not comment how easy M34 is, TYVM)
 
I've brought my multimedia installations up to scratch, and in turn inadvertently killed GT4. On the new 40 inch telly in the living room, the graphical limitations of the PS2 and GT4 do show badly.

I went to great lengths when we first bought a 22 inch LCD TV to obtain a NTSC copy of GT4 (PAL doesn't offer progressive scan), and finding the HD cables to hook it up.

Moving the PS2 to the bedroom, where the small TV has ended up, every time I fancy a quick spin is not feasible, too much hassle and at night, the bedroom is used for other things.

Continuing to play on the 40 inch would only destroy my fond memories of the game, and I'm not that die-hard a fan to buy another, smaller TV just for this game with GT5 coming in a couple of weeks.

So, sadly, I'm not frequenting this very nice and friendly part of GTP that often, and a few driving missions and 1000 miles races will remain unfinished.
 
I starting playing gt4 again about two weeks ago and I will probably play it up to the release of gt5. I just made the conversion from pad to wheel (dfgt) and I wanted to use the licenses tests as sort of a training tool to get used to driving with a wheel.
 
I played GT4 religiously when it first came out, I got 100% completion and about 30 gold licences, plus hundreds of races and millions of credits so i spent a good deal of time on it.

I left if for a while. It was a while my save game was last loaded in 2006, surprised it was deleted or corrupted :)

However i doubt i'll play much of it once GT5 is out just like GT1/2/3 the next version sort of supersedes it
 
With the heavy understeer, lack of damage, and mediocre sound that GT4 has, the fact that I'm still going back to the game after playing so many next-gen racers, shows how well executed it was overall. The fact that no other game can keep me interested for more than a week or so, shows GTs strength. I will play it until 5 is released.
 
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the gtplanet GT4 forum contributors. I'll start playing GT5 at approx 9:05 am on 24 November (unless they do a midnight release), but I'll continue to play GT4 and follow this sub-forum because of the quality of posts that come from here. I still have much to learn from this game and there are dozens of people here who've helped me learn the little I know (including the OP, who's a really good bloke).

It's called weight distribution. People fail to realise that unless you have a sports-tuned car with stiff suspension, cornering under speed while maintaining traction is very difficult and manufacturers of everyday cars, like a Peugeot 206 ,for the sake of easy cruising, tune the hydraulics of the wheel to resist change proportionally with speed.

Sports, semi-sports, and racing cars are much more nimble and precise in handling both in real life and GT4. GT3 was less of a simulation than GT4, weight distribution was unrealistically downplayed; you have a relaxed suspension? Bam! You can't steer whell in speed. Why? Because instead of the wheels, the chassis 'steers' as well to the one side, think of muscle cars.
GT4 has the most realistic, and rewarding I might add, steering simulation of any production videogame bar none.

EDIT: The stiff camera reinforces greatly this misconception, mind you.

I play GT4 and I luv it!When I'm older, I'll pop in GT4 for some racing nostalgia.I won't play GT5 because I don't have a PS3, and I don't plan on getting one.
 
Seeing as I've finished writing Hashiriya (my GT4 story), I really don't see the need.
 
voted no:6

I've been playing GT4 for over a year (as the main game that i play), and there's still stuff I want to do in the game.

I'll prob get a PS3 & GT5 eventually, but i'm not sure when that will be.
 
I've been playing GT4 ever since it came out (I was about 9) and I cried tears of happiness (literally, yeah, I know, addicted) and I still play it (I'm learning to have more sliding fun with cars now, like drifting my Mercedes SL 55 at Superspeedway with the handbrake) and I won't stop even when I get GT5 cos I really like GT4 (the PS3 is expensive ya know)
