should there be NOS on GT4

[Blackbird.]

I hope it completely seizes the motor when you overuse it like most ricers might.

I'm an advocate of N20. I have used it on my mustang before, and I have it on my current Camaro. I don't think simply owning nitrous makes you rice. I think it's a valid modification for drag racing. I think since GT4 has drag racing, then N20 should indeed be included FOR DRAG RACING ONLY.

That having been said, I must say I am stunned and completely disapointed that nitrous is available on road courses. Up till this point I felt the GT series was working further and further towards realistic racing. This is a huge step backwards in my opinion. I'm very surprised about this. it almost feels like a departure from the whole pulse of the game itself.

The thing I'm worrying about is that with N2O, AI boosts (or "catch-ups") when we're in the lead will be justified. I think we don't have the chance know if opponent cars have a nitrous oxide system installed or not.

Well if WE can use N20, then the AI sure as hell better have it too!

The AI maybe can, but I'd prefer this not happen if I don't install a nitrous system!
I'd like to have an option to make it a drag-racing only feature. The problem is that in road races the AI WILL use it but we don't know when and if at all.

Not to mention the fact that N2O will ruin many offline races / time trials if there's not a way to easily find out if it's been used or not.

i suppose its a cool addition but since when did people use nos on track? exactly, they didnt, nos in drag racing is acceptable but not in normal races

I agree.

I agree with you too.

 

[senal12]

dont u mean not to fond?

oh yea...oops!

exactly. if you dont like NOS, dont use it when it comes out. 👍

Well, I hope that its limited to drag racing ONLY. But lets be serious, if they have it as an option for normal racing its going to be very hard to "just not use it."

 

[Gabkicks]

well, it has been confirmed it is allowed on circuits to some degree. Im not sure exactly how though.. that thread has too many damn pages to read, i just skimmed through. I personally probably wont use it much if at all. I favor NA over turbo also. but its just preference i guess.

No I hope that nitrous is not in the game. If it is already confirmed then I hope its only a series of races like the tuner series for example that has it.

It's already confirmed to be in the game, and it's already confirmed to be used in the road courses. I

R: Racing Revolution. It is a racing "sim", almost like GT. (I say almost because it isn't even close when you try to compare them. GT is the greatest) It has a whole slew of race types, including rally, regular track racing, and it also has Drag racing. There are drag-specific cars, all equipped with nitrous oxide. You can only use the nitrous with the drag cars and only at a certain point on the track. I kinda like that whole concept, and I think the GT developers saw what they did and they might use some ideas from them. There's one major difference though...you can't upgrade the cars with parts in R: Racing Revolution(as far as I know, considering I've only played it two days now).

So I just wanted to point out an idea that another racing simulator went with that could possibly work in GT4. I'm not saying that it's a good idea, I am just offering it up for consideration.

I hope it completely seizes the motor when you overuse it like most ricers might.

Nothing wrong with that, but don't be surprised if the AI uses it regardless of whether you do or not. How are you going to feel about usiing it when the 2nd place car blows by you at the final stretch to the finish?

I think having it available for road racing is a poor move, although I do think N20 has every right to be in the drag section.

Well, I hope the physics engine is somewhat accurate with it, but I doubted it will be. And I hope its not some ridiculous blast or anything like that.

 

[Gabkicks]

well, if they have NOS, i hope they Have Overboost.

I believe the large thread mentioned you had two choices of either a 50hp bump or a 100hp bump, and then a gage which showed you how much of it you had left to use. Neither one of those "pills" will throw you into a time warp, although a 100 shot used on a tiny car that's only got 100hp to begin with (effectively doubling it's output) would be funny as hell.

Realistically, you'd just spin the tires of a FWD with skinny tires like described above, but somehow I doubt that's going to be the case. You'll probably just shoot off as if you had tires made of velcro.

I've got a feeling your gonna be spinning the tires. GT3 had a traction problem already when it came to high powered cars (not just FF), I don't see why this would be any different. Plus, technically, your not suppose to engage it until higher up in the RPM range AND until your throttle is planted. By that I mean any tuned car will usually hit full throttle/high RPM's once your in second gear, which'll have some good traction.

Well it's engaged with the R1 button, so I suppose you could use it at the wrong time if you didn't know what you were doing (which would be cool at least). I certianly hope you're right about it blowing the tires off if the car's not set up properly. I'd also love to have it tear up your engine if you TRY to spray while idling, below 3000rpm, at part throttle, OR if you havn't adjusted your timing/fuel properly to handle it, etc. I want there to at least be SOME possibility for screw ups.

hahaha that'd be great! A whole boat load of people would just be confused as hell. I heard you could infact blow your motor by over revving so maybe that'll come into play somehow. But yeah, I'm with you, I hope there's a possibility of screwing up.

Right, I heard that too about blowing the motor, which is what made me think it could happen on the juice as well.

It would be an added challenge for people who were trying to downshift and brake into a corner, find the right gear, power out of the turn, AND hit the N20 under the correct circumstances as they were exiting the turn. Lots of potential to let your rpms drop too low before spraying and cause damage if you didn't downshift properly (or chose not to at all). Guess we'll have to wait and see.

NOS is for those who are too lazy to modifie they're engine.

NOS SUCKS!!!!

 

[Gabkicks]

some people say the same thing about turbos.

that was just plain ignorant.

It's: N20, not NOS.
It's: Modify, not Modifie
It's: Their, not They're

and last but not least: It doesn't suck, and it's not for lazy people .

I realize English may not be your first language, but I figured since you needed to be set straight about nitrous, I might as well go all the way and help you with everything else too.

I really thought all this has been put to rest already, but some people appear determined to remain ignorant, regardless of facts. Leaving the benifits of nitrous aside, let's focus on your statement. Have you ever installed a N20 kit on a car before? Depending on the kit, it's definately NOT at the top of the list of easy engine modifications, so being lazy doesn't have much to do with it. I can only assume you arn't referring to modifications in game, because NONE of them are particularly taxing in that sense. 💡

 

[Gabkicks]

lol, lots of people have jumped on the NOS haters bandwagon without haveing a good understanding of NOS. Its the whole Herd mentality thing. and the and the natural human tendancy to fear and hate the unknown.

 

[Gabkicks]

Sorry for doublepost But.. Yo Lethal.. I thought they had the brandname NOS in thegame. I saw a ingame pic and it said NOS kit.

I think he's just annoyed, me too, at the fact that due to pop cult, everyone thinks "NOS" is the universal term for Nitrous Oxide.

 

[shirakawaa]

It's actually N2O and not N20 ! Check the subtle difference

 

[Gabkicks]

omg, spammage
