Hm..Does that S2000, 5th car on the right of the picture, remind anyone else of the one shown in Best Motoring?

 

[Majarvis]

Will Twin Ring Motegi be in GT4?

 

[LowBatt]

The S2000 5th from the right side is Amuse's S2000, seen many times on Best Motoring

that site has been piosted here before i believe when it had to do with the motorcycles in gran turismo 4

"Drifting through corners will be more accurate in GT4, as the title also introduces "drifting" race challenges." - i hope they have the ebisu circuit if there is going to be drifting race challenges

 

[moshter11]

i think they should have a counterpart of gran turismo only dealing with drifting that would be the hottest thing

That S2000 is the Amuse S2000. It is built by a company in Japan called Powerhouse Amuse. They make some amazing parts for the S2000, including an excellent titanium exhaust system, and many carbon fiber bits. The roof on that particular S2000 is made from pre-preg dry carbon, and costs almost six thousand dollars. Crazy stuff.

Also, Motegi will "most likely" be in GT4.

it seems as if "maybe,hopefully,and we'll see" are polophony's
favirote words on subjects about the game

Judging from the pics, I think there will be bikes in GT4, if they have time to put them in that is.

Don't judge too much, bikes in GT4 have been denied by Sony and PD.

Yes, but PD denied the rumors of F1 cars in GT3, so...

PD is currently working on a bike racing game, according to that other thread here.

Yeah - I saw that. Gran Turismo bikes...mmm... I wonder what sort of controller Logitech would come up with for that.

I think I mentioned this in another thread, but I have mixed feelings about bike games. I've come close to buying one of the MotoGP games (probably will when I see a really cheap second hand one). The main issue for me is that, whilst you can reasonably replicate the driving experience with pedals and a force-feedback steering wheel, the riding experience is a much more physical thing, with the bike steering more with the positioning of your body than with your hands, and I can't for the life of me see how Polyphony hope to replicate that with the standards we've come to expect from the Gran Turismo car series.

if the bike game is made just like GT series (eg can do the bikes up etc) i will buy it for sure

 

[Dave A]

Sony has denied there is work taking place on a new bike game, they said Moto GP is their bike game, they also said that every single member of the PD team are working on GT4.

Maybe the bikes had nothing to do with the game at all. Maybe they were there to run a few laps, as is common when you're on a racetrack, or on a trackday.

How common is it when PD has exclusive use of the course at that time? IF PD is working on having bikes in the game, I doubt they'll play a huge part (maybe a few races), and you won't be able to race against cars.

It's also possible that if PD is working on a separate bike game, that they brought bikes along to test along with the cars. Why not? They got all the equipment there to do it, saves time and money instead of coming back and renting out the track again.

Also, I'd expect a Moto GP style controls for bikes.

Where did you see that PD had exclusive use of the course?

 

[Dave A]

In the UK there were loads of people driving round the track while PD were testing, and by people I mean the general public.
