Don't know if it's fact or rumour (got it on a brazilian site). Sorry if it has been already posted. I thought it was interesting to post it here:

(Translated Text)

" New informations about Gran Turismo 4 ,one of the most awaited game releasesof the year for the Playstation 2:

- The idea was to put all off-line content avaiable to the online mode, but that won't be possible. Knowing this, the online mode will be a little more restricted;

- Six players will be able to play simultaneously on the online mode. The Players and Sony itself will be able to create online championships for others to play;

- There will be a online ranking, and some kind of show-room for the players to show up their cars to the others;

- There will be lots of chat-rooms for the players;

- The HDD will be supported, but details were not revealed;

- There will be competitions both on the normal race and drift;

- The most powerfull european cars, like Porsches, will be avaiable, just like old historic cars from the 30's and 40's;

- All cars from the previous games will be on GT4;

- Used cars will be back;

- Polyphony Digital is trying to put the most popular cars from USA, Japan and Europe on the game. If some are missing, they'll show up on GT5;

- There will be more possibilities to tune-up your car than in GT3;

- The driving school and driver's license are back;

- The car physics was completely revised and it's even more realistic;

- Competitors that crash intentionaly will be penalized, having to run at the maximum of 30 Mph for 10 seconds;

- Cars won't be damaged (the 3d model);

- The difficult level will be higher;

Sad how the GT4 forum is already a spam cesspool and it hasn't even been released yet.
 
Great news Johnny 👍 , especially the "all cars from the previous games will be on GT4" which means I could drive the Prelude and the EVO II with such joy!

Unfortunately, some for your news that were posted are 20% old news.

And I hope that the most speculated car list of 778 cars (which my '92 Integra GS-R is included on the list) will come true in GT4, if not well theres in GT5. :)
 
if i remember correctly it was a brazilian site that first posted that 778 car list as real 9 it was actually made her if you didnt know, but not to be taken as real)
 
Well i posted just because i found interesting. Like i said first, don't know if it's fact or rumour.i don't want to create false facts.

By the way, that list went to almost every gaming site ( except for the big ones : IGN ,Gamespy, Gamespot,... )
 
I find this all very confusing. There's at least five more just like me - perhaps they're my clones. But they're older than I am.

Please close me to stop my poor head from spinning.

Thank you.

Edit: See how confused I was? Please help me - you know it makes sense...
 
Dude Thread is the Shiz of all the Nizz : )
 
Yep.


Very old news, Johnny. Try the search function, next time, before starting a new thread.

Welcome to GTP, again.
 
This thread is very inspiring, especially news about GT4 is getting very, very scarce. 👍

How will the Computer know if it is an accident or not? It will be annoying getting penalties if you just loose it under braking. And what if two cars are side by side and decide to have a litte tussle with eachother. Will one car get a penalty because he barged slightly harder than the other? And what if someone infront of you decides to slam on his brakes? Will you get penalised for running into him? I think trying to stop cheating is a good Idea but I dont see how it can be regulated.

True you may be an old member, but maybe the older ones should know better, shouldnt they?

In GT4P you have to be fairly severe hitting something or someone,I'm shore it will be similar in the final code.there should also be an option to turn this penalty on or off.The severity of the penalty may also be dictated by the level of event chosen.

I find this penalty system stupid...

I sometimes find PD a little bit short on what they implement...

Examples ? ok :

- you can wash your always clean car
- your have to change your oil every 300 km
- I do not event talk about stupid tires which become red we do not even know why... or how
- pit stops ridiculous
- ..... a lot a lot .. too much...

So now they discovered the 10 secs penalty ...

OK gameplay is great but for the rest I find PD really late compared to other games devs...

I really hope PD will solve all the stupid implemented things of the previous games whereas improving graphics and online features... oh sorry I forgot to talk about the 100 versions of Impreza Japan do not even export in the world !!

OK penalty ! just use flags and penalty pit stops !!!!!! is this a racing game ???

10 sec penalty is the most stupid thing ever in GT !!

it's nice to have ideas... it's crap to implement them at 20 % !!!
 
Your right, but the car wash works, the cars in GT lose their shine and get duller uinless you wash them.
 
for those of you who have not played GT4-P, you should take note of the fact that to inflict one of these 10 second penalties upon yourself, you must smash your car into another car or wall with a force that, had it been real, would have ended the race weekend for your car as well as whatever poor fool you hit.

rubbing fenders and the occasional rear tap / punt into the kitty litter is a normal racing event and this goes on plenty without a penalty.

I do like the idea of some kind of black flag or other penalty, as thats how these things are handled in real life.

Exactley, in real life you would be out of the race.
 
I think point or position deduction would work better instead of the 10 sec. penalty.I don't know how it would work in the game though.
