Hypothetical Question: GT4 on XBox

[_aj]

How can a game that's not even out be BS? Also wannabe GT4, so any racing game is a wannabe GT4, how small minded are you? Sure the lack of FFB isn't gonna bode well with the die hards even though I would guess only maybe a handful will actually use a wheel for Forza as well as GT4.

^I think he mean that most new racing games is wannabe good as GT4.

 

[Dave A]

No, he meant it's "Just another wanna be GT4". Get used to Cobra aj, he's like an Aztec but he worships GT and sacrifices people to that.

 

[cobragt]

The game is bs. The devs are trying their very best to copy the GT series. Think about it. You can even look at forza boxart and see they are biting off of gt3

What other racer has had its logo on a car besides gt3?

 

[_aj]

Gotcha live4speed, one thing though I don't like people like that it's like the import/domestic thing, so many people go about which is best and why while bashing the other in their overly-biased opinion but never appreciate the other for it's technical or performance prowess.

Guess I just need to get used to it or learn to ignore it.

There has been others, but GT wasn't the first game where you buy a car, race it win cash and tune it or buy another car. Is GT a wannabe? Sure Forza is trying to replicate GT's success on the X-Box as Sega GT tried and failed on DC and X-Box before it, but wait until the game comes before you call it BS, it's got some neat features in it that GT hasn't got or announced yet.

Hmm ironic you would bring that up cobra as GT originally had the logo across tire tread and GT2' was across an engine (I think). It makes you wonder where they got the idea for putting the logo across the car when before they were using parts, then again every race car has sponsors so go fig...

 

[cobragt]

Yea, you better get use to it =P Because in my book, GT matters while other racers can go to hell.

 

[Race Idiot]

As long as the Xbox version would take full advantage of the Logitech Drivng Force Pro I would be all for it. My loyalty lies with the game series and not the console its on and if that meant I could possibly have a better game on a competing system than I would be the first in line to buy it.

Exactly, if it came out on the X-Box, looking better and with more features. Or the next GT was on X-Box i'd probably buy it, as long as it kept up to the standard of the other games. Although the only way I can see GT going to another format would be if Sony decided to stop making console hardware, which probably won't happen for a long time anyway.

GT1 didn't have its logo on tire treads. He had a pic of a nsx under a cover with the logo above, gt2 had the gt logo over a speedometer.

 

[Dave A]

GT1 had the logo on the tyre treads over here, in the US it had a Camaro / hybrid car under a tarp, it was not an NSX bexactley what car it was is not known, but so far most agree on either a Camaro or a photoshop.

Forza's new feature is , you can dress-up (style) your car just like in NFS:U and do a ricer of (for example) that poor Evo

I read up on Forza and the things that caught my eye were the tracks. Don't wanna go into what interests me about them but I will say one thing, Forza looks more cartoony than real imo.

GT Pal Boxes - Never realised they had such different designs for each region. I like the clean fresh look of the Pal art compared to the NTSC, yeuch !!

 

[cobragt]

I dont like those box arts. Look empty to me.

Yeah, the Japanese and Pal boxes have always looked better than the American ones.

 

[Dave A]

I like the idea of engine swapping, custom performance body kit's and damage.

 

[pimp racer]

CRAP I didnt even read the question and clicked on no oops already have an xbox.

 

[Robin]

It would really annoy me if it were on XBOX........

1) Cause it is a Playstation game......and it has heritage and has being one of PS2's best.

2) Because it would mean I would have to buy and XBOX......which I personally think is just a con......its a cheap PC pretending to be a console......PS2 is a pure graphics machine custom built!......trust microsoft to take the easy way out and not "develop" a console!

3) Cause it would be good!!......lets be honest, It would probably have better graphics, damage etc etc.....although the force feedback thing sound abit crap and microsoft would probably ruin it!

4) Because it would be like giving away somthing special to Playstation.....look at what happened when GTA made XBOX........we never heard the end of it!!! Thank god GTA SA will be PS2 exclusive.......hell yeah!!!

............but, alas...........rest asured............GT & XBOX it ain't gonna happen! so I don't care (unless Microsoft buy Sony)...........eek!

PS2 and GT4 rule.............PS3 will own everything..........Sony set the standard and everyone just copy's!

They're the European GT covers, the whole cover is filled on both of them so they arn't empty, I think they're subtle and effective, you know it's a seriouse, good game inside.

 

[Kaniyodrift]

no, because i value the support for FF wheel over higher poly count, bump-mapping or any other bs. Wider-looking tracks, longer draw distance? bah, if that 32bit Celeron can't handle even force feedback, and calculate all the necssary parameters for it 60 times per second, then what about central gravity and other advanced car physics? GT would have to be downgraded for XBox and it would lose it's soul and probably play 30fps instead - with all the extra gimmicks and medicore damage modelling - as KY said, none of the current gen systems can do it realisticly enough to bother

 

[Dave A]

I thnik you quoted the wrong post, btw the X-Box does do force feedback, it's just not as easy to program as it is for the PS2 and the X-Box can do all that what yuo said. I'm not fanboying the X-Box, just stating facts, I don't favour the PS2 even though I own one, I just don't think the X-Box has enough support by games companies for decent titles that I'm interested in to justify buying one.

I second that.

 

[Kaniyodrift]

I second that.

actually i didn't mean to quote at all - it's just that this button

has "reply" written on it, and out of habits i click on it and never look back

 

[usernamed]

No. Why release an official GT4 wheel only for the ps2. There are too many reasons to prove that this is impossible.

ok, now i quoted intentionally.

didn't someone here post the official statement of Logitech that said something along the lines that "XBox can't do force feedback" and "even if we made a FF wheel for it - it wouldn't work"???

anyway, just think of this: EVEN GAMECUBE HAS A FF WHEEL!
yu0 can play probably GT Cube or Mario Kart Double Dash with it - now look at XBox's mammoth racing game library and think.

That is correct.

Having released so many racing games for the XBOX, and not ONE FF wheel is an evident example of the XBOX limitations in this area.

I do have an XBOX, PGR1/2, CMR3/4, Sega GT and RSC1/2. I even bought the LOTUS licensed wheel to make the driving experience more real. But none of them are satisfactory in terms of control.

Maybe we have been spoiled by GT and the Logitech wheels, but since we are comparing PS2 with XBOX as the best console for GT4, then any GT wheel user will agree that the XBOX´s lack of FF is enough to prefer PS2 for any REAL DRIVING SIMULATOR.

 

[Eagle]

No. Why? Same reason I bought NFSU for PS2, and Metal Gear Solid for PS1, because I'm not prepared to wait 5 years for a release on a console I don't own or have any intention of ever buying.

 

[SkylineObsession]

We already have an Xbox but i don't think i'd buy GT4 to play on it. Just not the same as the PS2.

 

[incubusnb]

i didn't read anything past the first couple posts but i'm gonna post this anyways

PD is owned by Sony, meaning sony owns the rights to GT4, sony isn't stupid enough to sell (or lease) its biggest racing game franchise to the competition.

its not gonna happen, live with it

 

[SkylineObsession]

Maybe you should have read the first post again as it mentions that this is a hypothetical question and he/she already realises that it is never going to happen...
