should there be NOS on GT4

[sennafreak]

can some of our asian friends that have the game please give us some details on that bloody nitro, is it a gamebreaker or were they smart enough to limit it's effects on a race, cause if the AI is using it, and billy your nextdoor neighbour, eventually everyone will have to use it just to make sure...

NO... Nitrous would kill the game and make it a f & f wanna be... n' dont get me started on how bad f & f is .

Looks like GT4 is an "f & f wanna be" then. Now, of those who said they wouldn't buy it on the first page...How many are buying it?

Guess what there is nitrous

"Reflecting the latest car tuning trends, superchargers and NOS will be available."

 

[trakslacker]

welcome to the forums andew.

the inclusion of Nitrous Oxide has been discussed at length in several threads, and there have even been a few videos showing the in-game use of N2O. Trust me, anything you find on an EBGames site, or even someplace like IGN, has almost definitely been covered at length here. Just search for it.

Good to have you, have a look around. 👍

 

[Gabkicks]

i'm sure now that people have seen vids of it used ingame, the fear is gone, and people realise it has been realisticly implemented. No vision blurring warp drive like NFS Underground

 

[FC_Demon]

i believe that there should be nos, if only for the fact that it has a long history in motorsport.

personally, i dont like using nos in cars because it feels artificial in some ways, but bias aside, i think it is a logical addition to the GT series.

if PD didnt put nos in GT, itd almost be as if they neglected to put in differentials or the ability to lighten your car

 

[Guru_Nissan]

You can say N2O is bad if you are playing NFU1 or 2 , because they really over do it, I seen a couple of N2O usage in videos, you can barely tell that the N2O is being used in GT4. 👍 Thats a good thing.

And please stop saying it sucks or complain about stuff you only heard of or read , I mean with 704+ cars I think you should stop the complaints and actually wait till you play it.

This is a real driving simulator. No2 is part of car culture. So are muscle cars. So are eco and K cars. So are "imports" (based on where you live).

The point is, GT seems to want to cover all bases of legal car culture (hence my not mentioning street racing). Wether you like it or not, there's something in there for everyone. You don't have to equip it, and you don't have to like it.

I'd like to see you not buy GT4 for the simple inclusion of NOS. (I hear that's the in-game brand)

 

[Ducati999]

I love how this ass uses NOS to refer @ nitrous oxide. NOS is a brand of nitrous systems dude. you suck.

Cano

and I WOULDNT buy GT4 if it had nitrous as an option.

Its kinda like now we refer cola as "coke", photocopy as "xerox", its just successful branding.
GT4 does include the nitrous [NOS] option, however, it is not as powerful as it describes in F&F, so I guess i can live with it. Plus, since GT series is called a Real Driving Simulator, it should include as many real modifications right now as possible. (Trust me, no matter how much you hate nitrous, you will still be tempted to try it, and you will probably burst out laughing)... It's always good to experience new things, right???

 

[pussinboot]

Probably the N2O is useful when the competition is much stronger alas more A-Spec points & the yr car can't match them on the long straights like on the Seoul circuit??

I've got this problem though, after the rolling start the front 2 cars just speed away from the rest of the pack (about 200+ A-spec points). the rest r just in my way since it's a narrow circuit. So each time I just try as much late braking as possible, especially at the hair pin. prone to mistakes but I always try to block faster cars from overtaking me after this move. I wonder does this classify as cheat? Haven't try out the N2O. will it cut down the A points if we install it?

 

[VIPFREAK]

Dur Dur... no...

 

[dreams]

I think they included NOS and the Wing options because of popularity among other games. They are just trying to put up with some competition.

But I still think they should not include it.. it would spoil the art of skill

Ok this is for everyone who said they wouldn't buy GT4 if it had N2O because it is too much like Fast and the Furious or Need for Speed Underground. First and foremost, you are all still buying the game. You would be an idiot if you didn't. Secondly, how bout you take a little stroll out of pop-culture lane. You kids are so obsessed with the Fast and the Furious. I will be the first to say that the last thing I want is for the GT series to fall victim to the NFSU or SRS craze. However that is by far not the case here. The Gran Turismo series is a sim and thats final. They have their priorities. When you look at the video when they use Nitrous, it is very realistic. You hear the spray you see your car accelerate faster. We don't see any arcade blur effects or anything. They did this true to real life. Now back to your obsession with the Fast and the Furious. Why don't stop mentioning that movie, becauseyour just hurting us by bringing its existence back into our memories. While your at it why don't you also take your biased mindsets to a website or book where you can learn something. Nitrous was not created when that movie was created. Nitrous was first used as an engine performance upgrade on planes in WWII. They began experimenting with the use of Nitrous in the 70's. No one at this point was really able to harness the power of Nitrous Oxide in cars. In 1978, and I accentuate 1978, Nitrous Oxide Systems (NOS) was created and they began selling commercial Nitrous Systems for cars. So why don't you stop condemning Nitrous Sytems when they have actually been an integral part of car modification since the late 70's. Finally if you do not like Nitrous then don't buy it. No one is telling you that you have to put it on your car. Also to anyone who says that Nitrous oxide is taking the easy way out, you better hate turbos and superchargers too. Actually you should hate turbos and supercharagers more than Nitrous because Nitrous only gives your short bursts of horsepower where as turbochargers and superchargers are continuous. Hate or Love it, Nitrous is just another aspect of modifying cars.

Everyone needs to realize, at least from what I've seen, that the AI does not use N20. Therefore, if you don't use it, it's non exsistant.

Tho it's pretty neat on smaller cars, like my Mini, too sweet, lol.

Well said...

As long as GT4 gives a realistic representation of how a 50 or 100 shot affects a car's preformance, I have no problem with it. Its not cheap, its not unfair, and its not cheating... Everyone has the ability to get it, in game and in real life. Level playing field...

 

[tha_con]

Does everyone know how it works? It's like this


0<-----------------50---------------->100

That's the scale, you move the slider for your "shot" of N20. The higher the shot, the shorter your N20 lasts, the smaller the shot, the longer is lasts.

Just in case it isn't known

I think alot of people are fronting on the nitrous thing, I would bet more people are going to use or abuse nitro more than they say, I think alot of people are trying to save face on the forums, nitrous 👍 ok with me

Yea I read the thread starter and a few posts past it and was wondering if they have lived in a bomb shelter because they were questioning weather or not GT4 was using nitrous... Then I saw the date July something. My first though was that these people are still going to buy GT4 and love it even though nitrous was added to the game.

It makes it completely unfair and the most unlikely of cars win powerful races.

Just my opinion, I think it would be fun to take on high powered lemans cars or f1s with lets say a civic and win using nitrous, it would definantly be interesting

 

[Mikey_at_Sea]

So do turbochargers. Havent you ever seen any videos where civics beat vipers in drag races. Thats right you can do that without nitrous. It isn't unfair, not every single person can afford to buy a car with ten cylinders. I think its kind of cool. I like seeing the underdog coming out on top. Don;t worry you will never have to worry about nitrous. Like someone else said, I don;t think the AI uses it. So you don;t have to. But also just like someone else said. It is not unfair, anyone can buy it for their car. Its not like you can only use nitrous if you have a 4 or 6 cylinder car that is under 25,000 dollars.

 

[Taneras]

... A win is a win... Unlikely or not, the fastest car wins (driver error is a factor yea), but for the most part the quickest car wins. Whats unfair about that?

 

[FRST]

NOS is useless unless you are drag racing and on street cars it's just a cheap way to add power.....rice !!!

ingame well I don't think I'll use it before I got bored of loosing a particular track but then after some tries I will gladly use it..as the only thing that really interests me in GT is the lap times I do in free ride not the competition with the lousy ai

its funny how you say "nos" is "rice" yet there are loads of guys driving mustangs (just like the one in your avatar) that use "nos" and tons of other muscle cars that take advantage, I agree with one of the previous posts about turbos or supers, its the same thing as nitro just not constant, power addatives are power addatives

 

[Watana]

NO

 

[tha_con]

right...because we all know that nitro in this game is THAT effective...

it's not. In fact, it's pretty well balanced. I only have it in one car, my Mini Cooper (cuz it's just awesome). I use it rarely, but as far as I can tell, it's only use it to really recover from a poor driving line around an apex, etc. It's useless otherthan that, because you forget you are racing for 3+ laps, and the bottle won't last that long. And again, computer doesn't use it, so you don't have to either.

"blah blah blah completely unfair blah blah blah I cant drive blah blah blah so weaker cars can beat me blah blah blah"

yeh...I'm a mean person.

So now any "cheap way to add power" is rice? I always thought it was smart, not rice...

 

[Mikey_at_Sea]

Yea, last I checked altezza lights on accords, giant aluminum wings on corollas, gt-r and type r stickers on 200sx's and unconventional ugly body kits were rice. I didn't realize that a respected method of short term horse power boosts was now considered rice. damn I am so behind in this culture.
