should there be NOS on GT4

[Vietorious]

No!!!!!!!!!

👍 @ Lethalchem for taking the time to give us some informative explanations. The fact you'd run out of nitrous oxide so quickly is the only thing separating it from being on par with turbo or supercharging from what I can see, and without dedicating a button to it and having it activate at the driver's discretion I don't see how you could possibly make it last for a few laps of the Nordschleife.

👍 Exactly.

 

[truenodrifter]

No.<-(period)

 

[Victor Vance]

nitro is for people who cant build good engines, its like a gimmick
or a strap on

Nitro is what powers dragsters... (full phrase: Nitro Methane) I hate ppl who call it 'NOS' and 'Nitro' when it's actually called nitrous oxide... no offense...

Yeah, you'd have to add quite a few bottles in the back (which would add weight of course) just to be able to have enough to last throughout a decent length race. Personally, I'm not really sure how it would be benificial in a road race. If you need to spray because the guy in front of you is faster, then he's more than likely going to get back around you at some point when you're no longer able to spray anyway. Only place I can see where this would be useful is for a last ditch blast on the last lap before the checkered flag.

As for what button to use, I'd say move the "Change Driver View" from R1 to SELECT, and then make R1 activate the Nitrous.

Thanks Lethalchem great work in explaining the use, benifits and negatives for using NOS.
I call it NOS as it saves typing Nitrous Oxide all the time.

 

[Earth]

14 pages over whether NOS should be in GT4, when in the back of everyone's mind they know NOS won't be in it....

Please, let this thread die a terrible death

 

[High-Test]

Well, there's two sides of the coin. One, you could shoot for much better acceleration and go ridiculously fast, but also it would take away from the reality of the game.

I'm not really sure what to say.

I couldn't have said it better. I don't think It should be in considering GT4 is a SIMULATOR and not an ARCADE.

 

[High-Test]

Kill the thread! now where's my gun?

Just say NO2 then

(I think that's the elemental formula for Nitrous Oxide, one part Nitrogen, 2 parts Oxygen)

 

[TurboLevin2NV]

No. NOS is the most retarded thing Kazunori Yamauchi could do to GT4. Sorry if this post is late, I'm new here

 

[Lambo88]

IMO, there shouldn't be Nitrous Oxyde in any GT game, not because I find it retarded, it is useful on a drag strip, but the point in GT is winning with your driving skills, not because of a sudden boost given by N2O. Anyway, it has more its place in a drag focused game, what GT is not.

See ya

Close but its N2O, two parts Nitrogen one part Oxygen
Also known as laughing gas!

(NO2 would be Nitrous Dioxide a brown coloured gas, which is toxic )

Yeah just don't sniff your local rice burner or top fuel car. The N2O they use is industrial grade not medical grade.

If you don't want nitrous in GT4 the you better not look at this picture

 

[random_hero]

thats an image from Gran Turismo 4 - B-spec

 

[killalot0]

i just read in an other thread there will be NOS. ROFL i guess PD will lose a lot of buyers in this forum

 

[TwinTurboJay]

I think there should be NOS, it is an apsect of racing, small part though, and it needs to be controlled.

 

[RVDNuT374]

hell no!!! GT4 is a racing sim. not ****ing F&F!!

I was just about to say the same thing.

 

[Gordonfan24]

Bottles Are For Babies!!!

 

[Gordonfan24]

I thought I'd add my two cents...

(I didn't mean to post twice, it was a mistake. sorry!)

 

[draven6801]

For staters nitrous has been used in cars for along time proble before most of us were even born. I think it will be cool to have some extra mods in the game and its only fair that it is in the game this is the "real driving simulator". To those of you who don't like it, just because its there doesn't mean you have to use it. Just don't buy it in the game. There is no point in flaming on a game just cause it has a certin mod in it.

It is my prediction that the addition of N20 will not cause one single customer loss.

Definately not me, I don't care what they add, as long as they keep what they've promised, which is hundreds of cars and scores of tracks...Plus I've waited this long...I'm not giving up now...

 

[Jason~Bourne]

No NOS
If you can really race, you dont need NOS.
Viper Competition Coupe can beat cars w/ NOS all the time
And of course people will still buy the game if there was NOS, they just wouldn't use it I cant see the AI using it.
HeHe

 

[RyosukeFCDS]

I just wish they'd call it N20 or Nitrous, or Nitrous Oxide system.

NOS is just dumb.

Example, it stands for Nitrous Oxide System, so the post above just said

See how stupid it sounds, if it were written N20, or Nitrous, I wouldn't have a problem.

Yep, they should have just called it N20. NOS is a brand name nitrous system.

 

[Omnis]

why are people so ignorant?

NOS is not a brand name. Holley is the brand name. NOS is simply an acronym for Nitrous Oxide System(s).

therefore, saying "i have a NOS system" is incorrect because you would be saying "I have a nitrous oxide system system."

n2o is used in drag racing...its not rice exclusive. i dont see why it shouldnt be in the game.

Yeah, that's what we mean when we say NOS is a brand name because we know it stands for Nitrous Oxide Systems which Holley makes.
