Well depepds how you look at it, Offline you win buy etc... Online you just race against other people, so to me id rather pick Offlins since theres a purpose in winning and tuning up your cars..

Maybe there's gonna be a system that, when you win online, you get some cash!? Should be cool for online players

 

[LoudMusic]

In Sega GT Online you can race for pink slips. Winner takes the losers car. My question has always been, why would you want the slower car? (:

But yeah, I bet they'll have some online reward system. I'd rather race offline anyway, as the lag for online racing will probably be pretty bad.

 

[Dave A]

I'd rather race online, I doubt the lag will be bad, besides it can be bad at times when I'm playing LFS but it's still ten times better racing online and the AI in that is ten times smarter than GT3's.

 

[Hypotenuse]

Personally, I could care less about racing online. It doesn't interest me at all. I just hope it isn't the reason for the perpetual delays.

Probably is. They've not had to code anything like this before and they don't want it to flop. XBox has such great success with all the online stuff that Sony needs something to be excellent to compete. Putting Gran Turismo online is just one step they can use to recover from the lost online market.

 

[Dave A]

It's a big part of the reason, and just because you don't want it doesn't mean PD shouldn't work just as hard at that as the rest of the game.

 

[ExigeEvan]

I'd love to race online. It would be alot easier than arranging i-link games. The only question is, is it worth the hassle?

I don't know about winning the losers car, I could lose alot of cars, but maybe betting creds would be good.

 

[Delphic Reason]

Both, as it should be.

 

[liquidyellow]

I cant wait for online GT4 especially once you have completed the game as long as there are no filthy cheaters .

 

[Matrixhasu77]

I'd race online if I had broadband and if PD actively controlled the cheating(No cutting the grass or crashing into other players). Blizzard's Battle.Net is notorious for cheating so bad that I simply no longer play on their server. Of course, I haven't played Diablo II or Starcraft in a few years so it doesn't matter.

 

[ExigeEvan]

Well I doubt there will be any tail-spinning/tapping etc The Gt cars tend to stick to the track quite well. In terms of daisy cutting, I doubt, there seems to be a penalty system in place for things like that. And anyway, cutting across grass will always slow you down.........unless its TOCA on donington GP

 

[LoudMusic]

There is that S on Apricot Hill ... you can shoot straight through there and save a couple seconds.

 

[RacingFreak2k3]

I will probably go online as well. Kazunori is such a perfectionist anyways....so i don't think he would release online unless he knows he can get rid of most of the lag. Lag will still occur becasue it happens with every game (at least from my experience). But I believe that GT4 online could possibly become one of the best online games out there....as everyone said....if we can get rid of the cheaters

 

[VIPFREAK]

Speaking of Online is the Sega GT online game new because I saw it at Target for $20.00?!

 

[LoudMusic]

Yup. It released at $20. I think Sega / Microsoft are trying to flood the market before GT4 comes out. They also didn't have to put much developement into the game, as it's built straight from Sega GT 2002. A few new cars, new tracks, and some time spent networking it. The foundation was already in place.

 

[BAZZ]

Online. Finally i might be able to find some1 to drift with.

 

[Rport03]

Well like I said before I'll deff race online, because you go against actual people and not the computer but offline you win money cars and be able to tune your cars etc.. unless online you could win your opponents car or win credits or whatever sometihng to juice it up a bit then it will be exciting, but if not then i'll play more offline than online but i'll deff be online for sure...

Baaah cheeky gits, over here in UK cheapest I've seen it is £22.50 which is probably like $30 or something and it should come out tommorrow (So hopefully mine will get dispatched ).

Even if you could bet your car, i don't think i would....only because there are a whole bunch of cheaters out there. So if i ended up racing the wrong person, someone could end up being a dirty racer, and i'll lose my car over a cheater or dirty racer, which i would hate.

 

[Dave A]

It would be cool if you could do an online series race taken straight out of the game, so say if in the GT universe mode theres an FF cars only event limited to 200Bhp max, you enter that online with 5 other people and the prizes are the same, same prize Cr and at the end you win the same prize car. Keep the whole create your own race/series ect options as well though..

Should be cool, but i think you need four discs, though...

 

[Dave A]

No, it would all be held on servers. The tracks and cars would be from the disk the only thing needed would be the servers to tell your PS2 to add more Cr and a prize car if you win it. It wouldn't take up more space.

 

[BAZZ]

I hope we will be able to host the games ourself though. I would not like the thought of depnding on servers only.

 

[amar212]

No doubt that both online and offline are equaly important.

Notice that Kazunori gave a thought that AI of computer cars is in fact very irrelevant due to very multiplayer purpose of the game.

Offline playing is intersting and funny way to learn the tracks and car behaviour, but in fact, main purpose is competing between the human oppponents. iLink mode made it possible in networked enviroment, while making GT4 and all next game struly online will make the real-human competing come to life.

Remember that in 2001 both Kazunori and Ken Kutaragi (back then in behalf of of Sony Computer Enetertainment) made an early announcemt of GTN - Gran Turismo Network.

GTN probably won't live yet on this console, but I expect that GT game on PS3 will introduce GTN in way it was imagined (online racing, official world league, forums, chats, downloads...).

In GTN all the players from world would compete trough the national leagues in comprehensive system of championships, playing their way to an finals, all trough the official world championship. Broadband connections would allow other players to actually watch the races in real time, and you just imagine the possibilities there.

For me and my racing crew online aspect of GT4 will offer a long-awaited possibility to compete and learn the game and race behaviour in way we always wanted, without the need to carry the TVsets, consoles, hubs and whells around.

So, online and offline. No true choice there.

I have been wanting this to happen since GT2. I can imagine downloading: new engines, aero kits, and rims; As well as trading custom paintjobs, videos, setting up drifting competitions...............drool..............

 

[angryolddriver]

I personally can not bare to wait any longer (but it is not like I have a choice. I just bought the GT Pro Driver Force wheel the other day, and from that Ihave just discovered the joy that is GT3 all over again. A bit off the point but GT4 should be freaking fantastic on-line, as we all need something more then AI drivers to flex our racing muscle over. There is something so much more satisfying about kicking a human beings ass in a game. It is ten times more fun with a couple of mates and an i-link hub and 6 PS2 then it ever could be to play by yourself. Anyone I truly hope that GT4 online is lag free and fantastic

 

[Soman]

Online ofcourse for me, I have a 10 mbits duplex so no lag from me and imo you cant beat yet Human AI
