Its official, NA Release = Feb 22nd

[El_Torero]

I would gladly settle for the version of the game that the asians get.


And as for the language, why is it always necessary to translate games into French, German, Spanish and Itallian. Doesn't those people understand english. In Denmark it's only the games aimed for smaller children that is translated into danish.

Learn to speak english, boy... " Don´t those people understand english..." not doesn´t...

And by the way, we spanish speaking people are many more than those that speak whatever they speak in windmill-land... Danish? or Tullip? how was it?

Cheers...

I highly doubt the US is going to get a 'rebadged' Japanese GT4. SCEI would upset a vast amount of people that way.

edit:
And if Sony was just going to release it in one language, why not Chinese? 1/3 of the world would be able to understand it as Chinese is the most spoken language in the world.

 

[DRL]

That's not a very respectable way of looking at it. Do they not deserve to have the game in their own language? What if Sony decided that all their products would be in Japanese only?

Then I'd totally have to learn Japanese.

Anyways, This is without a doubt the best news I've heard all year. The link also said the game would retail for 69.99 CAD, which is awesome. Maybe I can convince my dad to get us a DFP as well.

Heh, I can already forsee my school marks sliding.

If the NA release is basically the J release, I'm going to hold out for the EU instead. I've waited this long, and besides, the functions in the EU release is something that should have been included in the first place. Maybe SCEJ will shell out another version and recall all the originals so they don't end up screwing all their J customers....ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaa. Of course they'd charge full price. And seeing as how I love collecting all the cars, not having those few will just piss me off. In fact, even if the NA release has special NA cars, I'll still probably take the EU version anyway. HAave your C6s, I'd rather take the Audi, Auto Union and Chaps. And I guess the 300 too.

You're just jealous because we get it first

Yes, but in turn, 1/3 of Sony's customers speak English.

Great news! I have to say that the Europeans should not be upset because we NA's never had an offical demo, or Prologue, ETC.........................

 

[Taneras]

How/when will we find out if we get special NA cars as well as the 2p garage battle? Also will it have the 240-256 upgrade like the PAL version is getting over the japanese version?

 

[sUn]

Yay!

 

[LaBounti]

Well the US version will have all the new features of the pal version. The new Mazda was already seen. Its only a few days apart from the oficial press release for pal and US.

3 weeks and counting, Bummer, i thought i'd have more time to play Champions Return to Arms.

 

[ekuebler]

YESSSSS!!! FINALLY!!!! I just gave notice at my work a few days ago. I leave at the end of Feb and don't start my new job until April 1. That gives me one whole month of pure heaven!!

The fact that I am this excited about a video game is starting to worry me!! haha

He needs to improve his English, but you should work on your geographical and cultural knowledge since the windmills and tulips come from the Netherlands along with the marihuana.

But not 1/3 of the people who own PS2s.

Well, that's not very astonishing if you look at the shear population of China. Just because, technically, Chinese may or may not be the most spoken language in the world, doesn't mean it is the most used or widely accepted, such as English.

Anyways, I could care less about 2 player garage battles, or additional cars being added to the NTSC release. My biggest hope is that they implement the ability to switch between A-Spec and B-Spec during pitstops, as it will be added to the PAL release, that's the only thing I'm looking for to be added.

I hate you all!

*hides back in corner til march 9th*

Nah have fun you lucky bastards

you´re ntsc tv couldn´t handle that anyway LOL
i´m so glad i´m in europe atm (and i already have the jp version)

Here's my plan, on Febuary 22, '05, I stand at the Future Shop entrance exactly two hours before it opens. When it opens, I run grab my copy, cash it, and race home. Then I play.

 

[LFRANCOF483]

so will the NA version be like the PAL version, if the NA version is just an english translation of the japanese version which i already have, than i'll wait for the PAL

2 hours make it 12 hours if their any GT4 fanatics like me where you live if you want a copy of the game on its opening day.

 

[woodstock827]

i really wish we'r not getting an English version of Chinese GT4... i have that already!..... i want those upgrades in PAL version!!... i want my garage!! extra cars are cool but not essential for me..

 

[Metzger28]

Oh,classic... February 21st is a teacher-only in-service day at the school district I work for and attend...I don't even have to be in that day...so what does Sony do? Release it a day later. How's that for a wall of irony?

Well, no matter...I'll have it a day early if the shipment arrives on the 21st (a good friend of mine manages the Electronics Boutique in the Summit Place Mall out in Pontiac, MI). If not...well, I'll wait in line with the only other people who ever visit that mall outside the store. That's going to be a fun day.

Oh ****!

The 22nd is a Tuesday, most of us have school.

Found it myself. About time, for sure. So, less than three weeks. I hope we get some good new vehicles.

 

[Nemo2]

OK let me pose a question to all the US people:

Where are you preordering GT4?


Ive looked over ebgames, gamespot, etc. Anyone know who has the cheapest overnight shipping or otherwise because everyone is selling for $49.99 so dont expect to save there.

 

[nightkid86]

Must have garage cars in arcade mode and in 2 player battle. If not then I will be very unhappy and write a letter to Asia saying how unhappy I am.

 

[Jedi2016]

Oh ****!

Except for those of us that are no longer in school.

I just hope my local GameStop gets the damn thing on time. They have a habit of being a day late for whatever reason.. they constantly refer to the "release date" (in this case, the 22nd) as actually being the "ship date", and they get it on Wednesdays instead of Tuesdays. Bastards.

But, one day won't make that much of a difference. I've waited this long. Wake up... go to store.. come back from store.. vanish from society for a few weeks.

 

[askia47]

yay! its finally coming out!

Big games, they come in on the day of their release. It should be at Gamestop on the 22nd.
