Nice, but it's been out for a while. Post this in the Prologue forum.
 
You could turn the AI on or off, but the default was off and some people who imported the game who couldn't read Japanese/Chinese/Korean didn't find the option.
 
I didn't see the videos, but it just amazes me that McLaren will be in GT4. Can you imagine how many gamers will build up their finances to get one of these babies? I still like the Toyota GT-One, but the McLaren may convince me to get that car and get a GT-One "just in case." Unless an all GT-One or all McLaren F1 race takes place, I'm still rubbing my eyes and poking myself trying to see if I can believe knowing that GT4 will have McLaren. If you can't have Ferrari or Porsche, then McLaren is still an imrpessive asset. But then, all the talk about what cars will make it and which won't is getting a little overdone here, so I'll back out of this topic. Until then, Formula One goes to Bahrain next week. So, take care everyone!
 
MY GOD!!! Why can't people record a video on a computer using the most common file type? I can't play half the damned vids I download because they're some funky file type! Try downloading the appropriate file drivers, never oce has the stupid media player succeeded. Why couldn't they just have stuck with one extension eh? Man, I just lost it. Foir the millionth time I can't watch a movie...

Damn RealOne and Windows Media Player. If Shadow made these movies, I don't intend to offend you, it's just that this was the last figment of fuse, then POW! There I go...
 
MOV files are pretty commmon, get quicktime, it plays them
 
I used that car in GT4 Pro. and I thought it sucked. It might be better when I get the chance to tune it though. But, whatever settings they had sucked.
 
Okay, here is an update to this topic.

I had a chance to view 5 out of the 7 movies including the McLaren F1 GTR. I just want to say that not only the car is aweseome, but I finally got my samplings of the courses involved. I seen Tsukuba, Fuji, Citta d' Aria, and New York. COMMENTARY:

The first video is basically a 360 degree view of the wonderful McLaren F1 GTR. The New York demonstration looks pretty cool. I can imagine taking my fastest cars for a spin around the city that never sleeps. New York was pretty cool and favors high speeds. But the small kinks in the road will make drivers want to revise their line if they think they can do 180 in a fast kink. Fuji is going to be awesome. As an off-topic deal, I think it's "foo-jee" rather than "fee-jee." Anyhow, Fuji is a high-speed course. Nice gentle corners, and that bending right turn into the chicane should be fun. Tsukuba would be cool to race around. In fact, it should make a nice test track if you perfer not to use the big, longer than Talladega oval. I even noticed a few different screenshots to race with. There's the chase cam, the bumper cam, the birds-eye view (in which I was skeptical at first about), and even a roof-cam.

Okay, now to the more important part. The F1 in action. In action, the McLaren F1 backs up its powerful superexotic persona beautifully with its BMW F1 engine. The engine noise is like the Toyota GT-one from GT2 and the Jaguar XJ220 GT Race Car from GT3. The speeds were in KPH, so I was a bit wrong when I thought that the F1 could do 260 mph (unless John Force is racing it). The car spun out later in the New York race. I was enjoying how lovely New York looked. Everything from Central Park to Times Square, it was dazzling to say the least. But still, I tend to like Tokyo R246's surroundings more. Anyhow, the F1 should have won the NYC race I seen. Then to Fuji, where the JGTC has a McLaren in GT500, but this F1 is the GT Racer with Fina sponsorship. To see it tackle Fuji was pretty dazzling. The beautiful weather and the amazing handling was something to awe over. Tsukuba was a good track. The F1 looked nice there and when GT4 releases, I'll probably have more fun with Tsukuba. Maybe I can talk smack about my hot laps in my F1 on Tsukuba. My final note, I would want to salute the person who had the guts to race a McLaren F1 through Citta D' Aria. I thought it was going to be a rally race, but it is a road race. The streets are so doggone NARROW! You want to avoid the walls, of course, but the track is going to be more like a long Autocross track, just take out the cones. Maybe "Mazda Rev it Up" would have a cup race there in GT4. Just imagine. You, a Mazda 3, a closed circuit, and NARROW STREETS.

But all in all, the videos I took a look at were a sweet look at GT4 and a well-done job by PD putting in the McLaren F1 GTR. Someone mentioned a McLaren F1 with bubble lights. Turns out, they were like bubble lights. Anyhow, nice videos. And it doesn't matter if they are new or old. I haven't seen them, so they're new to me. And I loved them.
 
After reviewing the first five videos I was excited to finally see some video of GT4. It certainly looks ultra smooth and although the video was rather small the car models and enviroment look top notch. Too bad the driver was ultra aggressive, even taking a short cut through that one hairpin! But having the R390 hang in so close through most of the laps is reassuring that the AI might be better.

When I viewed the sixth & seventh videos I was floored to see how tight that Citi d'Aria track actually is!! Someone at PD must be a huge Targa Florio fan as that was my immediate impression! And I'm sure it's no mean feat to be able to muscle that BMW-McLaren F1 around that circuit! Now just imagine tackling it in a Maserati Tipo-Birdcage or Aston Martin DB4 GT!! I got an image of Brian Redman flinging his Porsche 904 spyder through those twisting city streets. Absolutely spot on!

Anybody know who the pilot is in that video?
 
I have a replay of an F1 on Citta doing a 1'18.1 I think ... how's that for a fast lap? :D Don't know what laptime was done here, but I bet I was faster :P
 
I better hope the final test for the "Super License" isn't racing a McLaren F1 through Citta D' Aria (much less a GT-One through Monaco. Both would be TOUGH, especially for a gold prize). I seen the other two videos, and they were awesome as well. But they were mainly replays of the other races. Still, a HUGE asset for GT4.
 
Now that I have seen Amalfi (formerly identified as "Capri") with the Ford GT, I wonder how the McLaren F1 GTR would do there. Should be a blast. If an F1 can race Citta di' Aria, I wonder how it can do on the somewhat easier Amalfi. Just a thought...
