New from EGM

[the_cobbinator]

I just got my September issue of EGM and lo and behold, they have more info on GT4. Evidently there will be fully 3D spectators, and pit crews. Even though its not much, it should make the game just that much better.

thats interesting, how can they make 3D spectators when u can hardly see them clearly anyways?

3D crowds for rally events?

the pit crew I have seen a video of, It looked prerendered, but good.

 

[the_cobbinator]

I never thought of that. myabe the fences will be made a little more transparent to bring out the detail in the crowd.

As for the rally events it doesn't seem likely that 3D crowds would be included, but if they are minimal polys, there shouldn't be a hit on speed. Or am I missing what you meant?

I have to admit, this is probably the most underwhelming news I've heard in a while. If you asked me to pick the three least important things I wanted to see improved, those two would be it. The only things I care about are (in order): better AI, more tracks, more cars.

Even though it is isn't very important at all, it is still nice to see the little details being added to make it seem a little more real. After all it is the real driving simulator.

i dont know why ppl want pit crew so much... i would rather have an option to create my own track, or a clutch added to new steering wheel and having GT4 supporting it.

 

[Driftster]

Everyone and their clutch, clutch clutch clutch. It'll never work, as for the Pit crew, I don't think it was nessicary, it's a nice touch, but other things could have been done instead. I say there be a feature to where we can make Hot Wheels Tracks, with jumps and loop's, WOO. Airborn in the Zonda.........Gran Turismo Rush 2040

Hmm.. hot wheels in GT4.. Driftster have you played Vanishing point? it has a quite fun stunt-section where you have to do things like rolls and pop-balloon games..

 

[mr_pushrod]

A clutch would be a great thing, would make fast starts easier in my opinion plus would add to the realism. The problem is that to do it properly you would need a 3 pedal arrangement for either the existing wheel or the new one. This would add cost which I don't think logitech would be prepared to do. After all, I should imagine the majority of people who get GT aren't as into it as we all are and would use the clutch for about 10 minutes. It would be nice to see, but I can't see it happening.

 

[the_cobbinator]

The other thing about a clutch is you have to keep it steady somehow. You might have to build a makeshift car intereior that holds the things in place.

hmm i dont mind
they should make special version of the wheel for us "HARDCORE" gt geeks and have GT4 support it if some ppl decide to use it.

or a clutch add on of some sort would be fine too. but it will not work unless Polyphony makes it built into gt4
