New Release Date Discussion

[Solid Lifters]

Weird looking car. Get a load of the back. Those are two fans driven by a snow mobile engine. They were used to suck the car down to the road. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 1500lbs, of dowforce. That's why it has no rear spoiler. Weird indeed.

Actually, car that have 2 engines - first 700+ HP fpr "normal going", and second, approx. 250 HP for making those downforce ventilators work.

Ventilators were creating a vacuum under the car, so it could corner like hell. Nurb wanted machine .

Car was banned by FIA during '70-es.

Great news.

Stop with the lies!

Just joking.

Wow, 250HP from a snow mobile engine? Damn, those snow mobiles must really hall ass then.

 

[XPLOSV]

This makes the wait almost worthwhile (although I've had the Japanese game for several weeks).
The 905 will be a great car to race and the Chaparral 2J will be hella interesting. Dissapointed that they included the Audi and not something else more worthwhile (like an Audi quatro Rally car or more tuner cars like the Amuse supra).

 

[hellnback]

I don't think the secondary engine intended to create the suck was 'quite' 250hp...

Good to see that we're getting some 'extras' and some LM's to boot... and that Audi, hell yes!!!

More Chapparal links...

The "2E" would be neat too.

 

[Omologato]

That's an ugly car.

If Europe got their release date before the US, then that means that Europe will get the actual game before the US.

Looks like we in the US is getting the big screw over...

 

[AdrenalineSRX]

Ahh, Europe gets it before the US then they get added cars. What did the US do to Kazunori? Well I've just be chillin up here in my igloo so I want me copy when the Euro date is.

 

[DRIFT GOD]

my local game store just started taking pre-orders for GT4, they usually dont do that untill the game ia a week or 2 away 👍

 

[TwinTurboJay]

Holy crap, I've got the receipt in my wallet for pre-ordering GT4 -at an 08/12/04..such a lamoid !

 

[mav]

I pre-ordered Christmas of 2003!!!!!!!!!

Pah, thats nothing. The reciept for GT4 pre-order in my wallet is dated..........

22/08/2003

Seems like some of the retailers (and me) got a bit too excited far to long ago to think about.

 

[TwinTurboJay]

Yeah....I hope the receipt of still legible by the time the game comes out...I may be S.O.L.
!

Welcome to two weeks ago.

 

[DevilGTx]

Gamestop has no official day.
The computer simply denotes "3/05"

Still flexible.
Already a dozen let-downs.
What's a couple more?

CRAP!

 

[Cosmic]

Much thanks for the information Mav. Just like Cudadude, Alfa GT is exactly the car I was waiting for. Moreover, you can't go wrong with the seriously gorgeous Nuvolari Quattro. The 905 LM is also a VERY nice addition.

Yes!!!!!! I'm kinda dissapointed with the realese date but we'll atleast get this game! I'm waititng for 9th march now...and counting.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

I pre-ordered Christmas of 2003!!!!!!!!!

My first pre-order was also December 2003. Later when the game didnt come out on time I took the money back from the pre-order. Then in February 2004 I pre-orderd again. Then the release date changed again and I gave up and have never pre-ordered since. That was a year ago!

 

[Liquid Li0n]

Maybe the reason why the PAL comes first is that they are going to add even more cars so relax guys. Save the best for last and thats the US.

What if they don't?
What if it's just a marketing scheme to get the US exceited about the game, and then we get no extra cars?

Then that would be another sick joke added onto the huge pile, especially for good, patient people like me.

 

[mav]

Bah, I want that Golf. We better get a 90s Mustang or more 3rd generation Camaros.

I hate the Fox body Mustangs, they are a joke. The 05's are a different story but still lacking thanks to live axle.

I would want the C6, Z06, 05 Mustang Cobra Prototype (all possible if they are adding more cars by regions), Amuse 350Z, Amuse Supra, 2001 Amuse S2000, 2001 Amuse S2000 R1 in Monte Carlo Blue, J's Racing S2000 and ASM S2000 (all no chance of happening).

 

[MrktMkr1986]

Have you ever actually driven a Fox-body Mustang?

 

[mav]

Yes I have... as long as you go straight you're fine.

 

[MrktMkr1986]

Yes I have... as long as you go straight you're fine.

Well... I guess I'll have to agree with you on that one.

However, that does not mean that Fox body Mustangs are a joke... Both my cars are based on the Fox body platform.

Looks like Konami beat PD to the punch. Good for them.

GT4 is coming out sometime soon and Enthusia is set for a March 8 release. It's going to be close and we've been getting awfully curious about what tricks Enthusia will pull out to distinguish itself. Well, today we found out and one thing we can say is that there will hopefully be room for both of these titles come spring.

It looks like I might buy Enthusia, then wait for GT4 to go on sale for $20 before I buy it. God, I'm such a cheap bastard.

Meaning, you would see GT4 in the stores, and not buy it? They could MSRP it at $500 and I'd still buy it.

To quote a semi-famous movie line...

Say it ain't so Solid, say it ain't so.
