How old are you kid? Shoulda said 16, might have believed that.

I'll take Shell as my fuel supplier personally, they've managed to develop a fuel for Ferrari that provides the same power at a reduced weight allowing the cars to run an extra lap with no weight penalty.
 
Formula 1 fuel is strictly controlled by the FIA and all cars receive the same fuel. Shell merely provides sponsership and I think the oil/hydrolic fluids.

So I'm pretty sure you just pulled that statement out of your ass...
 
I couldn't help but notice that this new gt4 E3 video might be the intro for the game. You know, when you pop in the gt3 disc and you get the lenny kravitz song and some gamplay video. Does anyone else think this new video could be the intro? It seems to show a summary of gameplay which is basically what an intro is..

Actually I think Eagle is right. Shell is now more then just a sponsor, it provides better fuel for Ferrari, I'm not too sure about what it does but im certain that they are the only ones provided with this fuel.
 
The fuel rigs are standardised by FIA, but I don't think there is a single fuel supplier, perhaps just standardised limits in regards to octane levels. I made that comment based off what James Allen and Martin Brundle of ITV said during the Spanish Grand Prix, and I respect their knowledge more than practically anyone. They and I could of course be wrong.

I may go see if I can find the FIA regulations online or some more information for clarification's sake.

[EDIT: http://www.formula1.com/insight/rulesandregs/14/486.html check out that link, which deals with fuel, and you can click the "FIA Regulations In Detail" button for what I can only assume is an exact copy of the FIA Technical Rule Book in regards to fuel in Formula 1.]

Same here, that's from what I based my statement..
 
All of the game intros, not to mention practically everything you see of GT games, has been in game footage. So that may very well be the game's intro.
 
Not exactly eagle, the gt4p intro was at a very higher res than the ingame graphics. It just had a certain look to it that didn't look ingame or something. But the trailer we have seen looks ingame.
 
The trailer in my opinion is just to show where Gt4 is at now.

The animated driver wasnt even in the GT4 at e3 at that level.

Just a show case.

Plus being divided into two sections doesnt really fit an intro
 
The vids released at this E3 are all ingame footage, and do hyou mean that the animated driver at E3 didn't look as good as in the vid or that there wasnt an animated driver at e3? But your right it's not an intro it's a showcase vid but it still uses ingame graphics.
 
the video showing the smooth animated driver in the cobra was part of the showcase & this was not available in the playable version on the showcase floor.

The driver animation as seen in prologue was what appeared in the playable show floor version.

There is an interview where kaz or someone says this is the next evoloution and did not make it into the playable version seen here.


Edit:
Not sure if this is correct now,since i have re read that interview and it is unclear wether kaz is referreing to the animations or the Gran turismo resort.
 
Well they had better hurry it up and have it ready for november!
 
O yes, I have heard this. That driver was apart of the build that wasn't shown at E3. I believe that build will show the 3d crowds and pitcrew. TGS needs to come now. But the graphics were ingame right? The trailer looked too amazing and realistic. This is the most impressive visual racer I have seen.

Have you heard the direct demonstration? I think he mentions there's a build that's beyond the build shown at E3 in the human element.
 
Cobra ive read seen and heard so many interviews videos and transcripts in the last five days.
I was beginning to get a little confused.

I was pretty sure that that i had heard that the new improved driver animations were from a newer build than that avaialable at e3.

P.s my understanding is that formula one fuel is produced by fuel manufacturers to a strict set of guidelines, a sample of which is submitted to the fia, and then the have to stick to this formula exactly, but variations do exist between manufacturers and teams.

I didn't know that being enthusiastic isn't allowed when you are 33 years old. How could I miss that.
 
I just listened to the demonstration again. Kaz says what they were presenting was a step ahead of the E3 code. That means, the interface and the animated drivers and 3d crowds are still being tweaked. I really want to know why they didn't mention the pitcrews in the human element discussion. In the demonstration, I did see pitcrew men on the powerpoint. Did you see 3d crowds? I think gamespot said the 3d crowds haven't be shown but I have heard other sites say there were 3d crowds in the build.
 
OMG I went away for two days, and look what I have missed!! downloading the stuff right now...need my daily dosis.

There was a screen with what looked like race mashals lined up at the top and then pit crew men at the bottom woking on an axel and wheel or something, the built at E3 featured a mix of 3d and 2d crowds from what I could tell, the crowds closest to the track were mostley 3d if not all 3d but the ones you don't notice as much further back looked 2d they're the ones you only catch in the corner of your eye when racing and I don't see any reason why PD would make thoes 3d, they arn't noticed as much.

Are you sure? Read this quote from gamespot.

"It was announced that these road-side spectators will be fully modeled for the final game. This wasn't hinted at, it was confirmed and we'll hold Polyphony to it."

The crowds are still 2d and look at this live
561066_20040512_screen009.jpg

They dont look 3d to me.
 
They look 3D to me although with this angle it is hard to see.

I enhanced the photo with the Gamma radius. The guy standing most forword to the road with the dark shirt has 3D limbs. Especially when you examine the arm you can notice. Although another angle is prefered to be more certain.
 
that shot shows a combination of the 2 some 3d spectators, who move about, then you can clearly see some very skinny flat 2d spectators who probably remain static to make up the crowd.
 
dont think its prologue, dont think that care was in it.

Could be e3 build or maybe even the latest build beyond e3.
 
Does anyone know what is the name of the song of the first part in that movie?
 
I think it's called It could be, but I don't know who it's by.
