For those of us without speedy connections, can you elaborate on the particularities of the vid
 
Any idea if it's a full lap or not? Guess I'll have to wait about a minute to find out...
 
Just got done watching... I was expecting more, honestly. The car sounds nothing like a McLaren (actually, it's got the generic racecar sound PD's used since GT2) and the AI, while it seemed better than the one in GT3, still didn't look too bright. Major points for the track, which looks awesome.

Will someone tell the douches at IGN it's hard to make a video capture interesting if you don't know how to drive?
 
Yeah I agree PunkRock, the guy couldnt drive his way out of a paper bag !! He annoyed the hell out of me when selecting the car and the track as well.

Other than that its quite good - very very fast

What were the AI opponents?
Was it a full lap?
Replay view or in car?

in car view with various LM cars as AI opponents eg. mclaren, audi TT
and it's only the 3 minute time limited version of the nurburgring so not a full lap
 
Wish he'd picked a car we haven't seen before. Im getting rather sick of The BMW Mclaren F1 (old news) show us a Ginetta or something. CAn't complain about his driving i know my first lap on nord will be far from perfect.
 
I think that this demo game will be probably available on the Playstation stand during the "Mondial de l'Automobile", in Paris between September 23 and October 10. :cool:

The presented games on the Sony stand will be WRC4, F1 2004 and GT4. :)
 
well, i have the same complait, looking at this vid than i have with gt3, that is in the compatition selection. Asuuming your a competent driver, and you know he track, theres only one car of the 5 that stands a chance of being competitive. Its not just that the ai always breaks too early giving HUGE passing wholes, its that it driving slower cars. I hope thats adjustable, at least in arcade mode. at least theres online.

Not a bad vid. His driving was no worse than mine, so i can't complain ;)
 
not bad indeed.....accept the quality ofcourse.....but there was nothing new to be seen in the vid.
 
The AI is still worthless :yuck:

They didn't defend their positions and when the driver came back on track after going on the grass, he was slammed into the back of as you could see the screen shake. Oh and the driver does indeed suck 👎
 
Oh My God ... Oh My God ... Oh My God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
the only thing new on the video is the sense of speed the mclaren brings to the nurb. apart from that the driver was aweful, AI worse and the cameraman seemed to be having a fit while filming or somat lol
 
I think if according to recent rumours that GT has gone more hardcore sim than before then that would be the arcade mode as the car seemed to slide a bit on the grass but still kept control fairly easily, I do agree about the AI though but then again that other vid going about earlier last month (supras and tt) the AI looked smarter so maybe it was an easy difficulty level?
 
i sure hope it is. i also think the AI should be more competetive, so maybe again they may raise the intelligence/difficulty level on that one
 
Ha-ha, that was a funny clip. That guy couldn't drive for beans! But, I bet I drive like that the first time I race The Nurb. You think the guy would have practiced a few times, eh? The camera guy must have been blind, or something. Don't quit your day job, fella. Unless, your day job is camera work, then go ahead and quit.

Anyway, it did show the awesome speed of the McClaren and the sense of speed of GT4, which felt lacking in the Toyota Demo. But, of couse those cars were slower than ketchup. The McClaren sounded like the Toyota GT One race car, but slightly tuned down a bit. Hmmm, I didn't really care for it myself.
 
yeah i love the way PD have upped the sense of speed in gt4, as i felt that only the fastest cars in gt3 had any feeling of movement. in prologue i love driving the lancer evo and skyline because now they do feel like they are moving!
 
Beautiful footage. Yes the A.I. did seem smarter, Nurburgring looked amazing especially with the writing on the road. :drool:
 
I don't think the driver sucked at all, he just obviously didn't know the course very well. It's new to the GT series, so no one's an expert on the Nordschliefe yet. It seemed like he knew the first part ok, but not the middle too well, which makes sense given the time limit in the demo.

Yeah he did pretty good at first, but then.... :yuck:
 
Weird, but the driver completed the race in 3'27.732. That's half the time of the fastest real track record.

He didn't even get to finish. I think the demo time was over. Check out the map, he wasn't even close to being done yet.
 
ofcourse the ai looked stupid.. and could not defend it self when the guy had a MUCH faster car.. the only competition it had was the v12 .. which was miles ahead.. and i bet if they were in a battle the ai would do pretty well.
 
Does the McLaren really sound like that. I've never heard one in person and it kinda sounds like the Jaguar race car on GT3.

The McLaren F1 has a very identifiable sound, and that wasn't it unfortunately.
 
Nice vid.

You guys can find more of then F1 GTR racing on another track in the IGN video case.

BTW, while you're there, check out the opening scene to Area 51. 👍
