Some one say if this stuff has been already posted, but I went down to the local shop today and saw a copy of this months PSW magazine and they interviewed Kazanuri.
1)He first off started talking about the online capabilities, and said how he's not happy with them at all. He said for online play, graphics will be reduced, there won't be as many tracks or cars. Although they are including the ability not only for online gamers to hold single races with other players but to create your own championships (o yes this is going to be good).
2) He went on to talk about the A.I. and as we all no it was pretty poo in GT3. He said that they've improved it so they actually think very much like most real life racers. They've tried to program them so they think about safety. So if you car is hurturling towards them, because you've outbraked yourself they will jump out the way. Also they will try and think ahead. So race stratergie is obvious but also so that if you overtake an A.I. opponent in one corner they will change there racing line and try and do the switch back manouver in the next corner. Well I have to say I never saw the A.I. do anything like that in GT3.

3)3D drivers. As most of us have seen through screenshots, they've now included open top cars, and you can now see the drivers. Kazanouri confirmed that in GT4 you will be able to design and create your own custom rae driver. You will be able to design your racing boots, overalls, gloves and helmet. But unfortunaly not your face, whcih is understandable as you can't really see your face through a helmet.

4)There will be quite afew European and American real life tracks to join the real life Japanese ones so far, as you may know.

5)Cars:
At the side of the third double page is a bit which shows and is about some of the more exoctic cars you WILL seeing in GT4. It only shows 5 cars but they are:
Smart Coupe
Morgan Aero 8 Le Mans car
2003 Bently Continental GT
Vauxhall VX220 Turbo and
TVR Tamora.

There's are confirmed to be in GT4, no bull****. Cars officially confirmed from Kazanouri. So this means we will be having the likes of Morgan and Bently to join the car dealership list. Thsi could also very likely mean that we could see other cars like:
Bently Le Mans car (very good chance)
Virtually every Morgan known to man e.g. Plus 4 and Plus 8 including the new Aero 8 :D .
Also with the TVR Tamora included other new great TVRs are a near 100% possibility. Like the 400R, Tuscan R and all the ones left out of GT3 from GT2 and the newly brought out ones.

6)The next bit confused me. On the DVD which came with the mag it said there will be a simple new racing team management mode. Apparantly that has been confirmed, yet in the mag it said that it was just a rumor, although the Racing management rumor it said wouldn't happen was that you had to buy a team, hire drivers set straterges etc. My interpritation from all of it is that we may actually get a simple basic racing team management mode. When I say simple. You only hire mechanics, and design a team colours etc. or something simple, but you don't hire drivers etc. Just my view.

7)Ferraris:
It says in the magazine that and i quote
Along with Lamborghini, Ferrari is the manufacturer we'd most like to see in GT4. there's still no definate word, though negotiations are ongoing.
They said that there's a 5/1 chance that we could just well be driving Ferrari in GT4 or definatly GT5 :D .

There wasn't much else apart from some new screens of cars we've already seen, although there was a lap of the new Italian twisty track done by a Skyline which looked finominal (spelling).
Also there was some clips of very new and recent JGTC cars lapping Fuji speedway and clips of the Courage LMP900 racing round New York. It has the exact same engine note as the Toyota GT1. Hmm....
There was other info but I think most of you already know it. I hope this is knew to lot and from that I just absolutly cannot wait for this game.:drool:
 
thanks for the info... Info helps calm me down from going of the edge from waiting for this game.
 
Well too bad for the online mode but I hope that's fixed in the final version. I hope lambos and ferraris are included, that would make gt4 more interesting but if you ask me I would take the Ferrari LM cars over any street Ferraris, same with lambo. I hope the bentley LMP car is include, I have a very strong feeling it will be since gt4 wil have the new bentley. I would love to race the GT-one car and dust it in a bentley speed 6:D
 
Does the PSW mag have new shots of gt4, and if so how do they look?
 
Yamamuchi also talked about creating ''a community of GT players online'' thats good news for us at GTP.
No more submissions of lap times etc... real racing online:D

I cant wait.
 
Oooohhh neither can I. The pictures are finominale. Most of them are of muscle cars and old cars like Europas. Nothing new that we haven't seen before just different screens.
 
clips of the Courage LMP900 racing round New York. It has the exact same engine note as the Toyota GT1.
clips? :odd:
Where can I get these clips?
 
Shame about online mode. Hopefully for GT5 it'll be the best online stup in any game.
