To much problems/misstakes with GT4...

[Patrik]

Don't you think it's just to much wrong with GT4 to be a Gran turismo? The sounds doesn't sound like the cars in real life, the Ford SVT Lightning is FR in real and 4WD in game, the volvo 240 Estate is a GLT but it has Volvo 240 turbo rims, and more... The game is still fantastic I haven't play it yet but I know it is, but Im dissapointed with this misstakes

Some of the mistakes you guys are complaining about are simply visual...Who cares if it has the wrong wheels? The car shops have some manufacturer's wheels, so most likely the ones that should be on it are in there. Others complain about missing a marker light...So far the only mistake I've found that has any importance is the Lightning being 4WD. Some could care less, but I think it will be fun to fully tune the trucks and take them to the 'Ring. Drifting them would also be cool. The Lightning being 4WD also makes it appear in a 4WD only event, and also limits you from FR events. The Lightning is the quickest on the track out of it, the X-Runner, and the Ram, but would be even quicker minus the 4WD.

Is there any news on using the VCD for 0/100? It wouldn't allow you to enter FR races, but at least it would handle right.

Dude, don't you think you should at least wait until you get the game before you start knocking it......???? you are entitled to your opinion and im sure all this waiting is driving you nuts but hey....... seriously if you're put off by what you're seeing and hearing and reading etc etc..... dont buy it

me...... I have it love it and it is by far the best of the series so far!!!!
especially in the 1080i mode with plasma and the forcefeedback wheel......

Now im off to enjoy more driving

*pokes at the user who started this thread,then perks a brow* er...looks like "SOMEONE" needs to watch the "Making of GT4" DVD O.O;. All the sounds that you hear in the game from the engines is how they are supposed to sound. They spent a really long time just lifting the hood up on a car,then getting someone to rev it up just so they could record the sound -.-'. Now seeing as how they did all that work,I don't think they'd just use different sounds,other than the ones they spent sooo much time getting >_>;. Well,anyways..and about your truck or whatever being 4WD,I don't know much about trucks and er..don't really care TO know much about trucks,but..maybe some of the american cars,they couldn't figure out what drivetrain they would be? *shrugs* lol,well..anyways...I really hope to be getting this game soon,as I still wait for it to get in the mail ;_;. So,cheers =D

It's just small "mistakes"

They test drove each car...so there is no way they could have thought the Lightning was 4WD. And if they dyno-tested them for their horsepower and torque, they would obviously see it was FR. Simply a mistake made in the development process, hopefully it will be corrected before the NA and PAL releases.

 

[m7ammed]

I think they are going to correct these in the PAL and NTSC , thats why there is a big diffrence in release dates betweeb them and japan.

also noice that the ford GT is a 05' model so maybe ford didn;t give the license to put FR or some thing ,Question :if you buy the Ford GT which catogary can u race it in ,if u can only race it in FR thats cools but if u can't race it anywhere?!!!

 

[PjotrStroganov]

No, the difference in releasedates, is mainly because the games for the US and Europe have to be translated and localised. Off course mistakes can be fixed during that time.

The biggest mistake for me is that th SVT is in the game. Unforgivable.

 

[Patrik]

okey okey, Im sorry I'll wait for the game and see, but I said the game is fantastic to

 

[justin_tyme]

1) You haven't even played the game
2) You complain already

Why do people refuse to realize that a game of this scope is bound to have minor mistakes in it? My god, 50 tracks and 700 cars and they got the rims wrong on some car and they made an AWD out of an FR! Some issues, eh? Come on.

Perhaps its different in Sweden but over here most 240 GLTs have the turbo wheels. Similarly my brothers 850 GLT has the same wheels as the T5 (Due to the sports pack I believe).

 

[stumpydino]

is it really that important, who cares, i mean really cares about a little onscreen error, they arent gonna change it so leave it, its not going to ruin the game, it seems some just keep picking at this brilliant game before youv even played it and fact is when you do you're probably not going to be bothered. you're forgetting this is a game, purely for entertainment

 

[Buggy Boy]

They spent a really long time just lifting the hood up on a car,then getting someone to rev it up just so they could record the sound -.-'.

I can understand they can not get the sounds right if they record them without load on the engine.

I wonder why they did not record them while driving or on a dynamometer? Probably to difficult or expensive?

Exactly my thoughts 👍

The came has 700 cars, of course there will be some errors or maybe just typos. People are expecting a little too much and complain before even getting their hands on the dvd-case of the game. It seems like people are waiting for the ultimate gaming perfection. Calm down people.

 

[Akina Racer]

It's just small "mistakes"

Yes exactly.

A 'mistake' is more like spelling gY4 instead of GT4. Now that would be nutty

 

[EMAGDNIM]

Well nothing is perfect, but they did do a great job putting this package together...with that said, Im heading back for more GT4....

 

[JamieD]

Who the **** honestly cares if a car is mistaken to be 4WD instead of FR...

Is it honestly that big of a deal?

 

[Jedi2016]

To be perfectly honest, these aren't "major flaws"... they're minor mistakes and typos that have absolutely no bearing on anything. What you're doing is called "nitpicking", and there's not a game on the face of this planet that's immune to nitpicking. In fact, I would say there's nothing in this world that can't be nitpicked by someone somewhere.

My guess is you really don't even like the SVT Lightning, or the 240 Estate. I bet you're just using those as "back up" for your whining. I think a post like this is a waste of effort for everyone associated with it... and yes that includes me.

wait.. you haven't played it and you complain about the sounds? the sounds are just fine in GT4. the only thing wrong with them are the tuned transmision sounds (they sound like GT3, GTR sounds a lot better in that regard, other than that... they are FINE)

 

[flyingdane]

Who the **** honestly cares if a car is mistaken to be 4WD instead of FR...

yes it is !.........a missing emblem or marker light is one thing, but to mistake a
2wd for a 4wd is pretty big IMHO.

 

[ragermac]

who cares? Stop *****in like an old lady. The game is great. So what it has a few mistakes. Its no big deal. You try making a game and see if there are no errors.

Oh, nice, then Im very glad! I starded this thread cause Im worried about the game, I just wanted to hear if you thought it was big or small problems

 

[RSCosworth]

2wd for a 4wd is pretty big IMHO.

But then again, it's one car out of 700. I'm not bothered about the small mistakes, the game is still gonna be my favourite

 

[Hun200kmh]

First of all, Hi, I'm new here (new in posting, almost a "veteran reader" )

I don't think any of the above mentioned are serious mistakes and, apart from the typing mistake, the wheels of a particular car can be different from one country to another, so I don't really know if they are indeed mistakes. Anyway, they don't take away nothing from the great game GT4 surely is.

In all, Gran Turismo 4 will surely be the best game of its kind, and I really think GT3 is still the best driving simulator (until GT4 arrives in Europe).

But ... to be a good "racing simulator" they should increase the number of cars per race. That was my biggest hope for GT4, and it will be my biggest hope for GT5. Specially because every buyer of GT4, now that looong tracks and looong races have been included, will surely find that it will be at times boring to drive several hours in circuits as long as the Nurb or even Le Mans with only five cars to compete with.

I love endurance races, and I like very much the game "Le Mans" for the PS2. It is a very underrated game, but it is a game where you have somethings that GT3 didn't have and, from what I've read here so far (apart from realistic pit crews) GT4 will not have also. a) weather changes during races; b) day to night to day races; c) 23 AI cars (in the Le Mans race).

This game has poor graphics (compared to GT), poor sounds and the car behaviour is a litle "arcadish". But I must tell you I made the 24 hour Le Mans race twice, and I'm not sure I will endure that in GT4, running 24 hours in sunny day light and with just 6 cars scattered along the circuit. I'll try it, but I'll probably leave it, most of the time, to B-spec mode.

Well, my hope is that PD will take advantage of the possibilities the PS3 gives them and that - if they have to choose between 1.500 cars and improved graphics over or MORE AI CARS, they'll choose the second.


Cheers

If you're overly concerned about the small mistakes I give you my permission to make your own GT knockoff and see how well it stacks up. Minor mistakes are just that .. minor. Now I can see how someone would be pissed off if say .. in all of the endurance races on the last lap your car just randomly leaps off the track and explodes (think RollerCoaster Tycoon style), that would be a major mistake, and would warrant the pissing off of people. Something like rims being on the wrong car .. pssssh .. get over it.

edit:
I'm all for the more cars in every race, I was hoping to see between 12 and 18 in GT4, but I guess that will have to wait til GT5.

 

[05_Stang]

As long as it is only a typo it is fine, but the handling characteristics between a 4WD and a FR a so different its not even funny, I'm sure you all know that though. Anyway like I said as long as its only a typo and its still FR it would be fine. Remember the car wash in GT2? 500 credits but it only took 50 from your total, a simple typo.

Then again if its not a typo and it really is 4WD then its a major oversight on PD's part im sure none of you WRX or EVO lovers and drivers would be happy if the made either of those FR on accident.

The Ford GT is the one that bothers me the most. Its Supercharged DOHC V-8 is clearly in the back of the car making it MR not FF. I can see a truck being mistaken for 4WD (lots of trucks ar 4WD) but a MR car being mistaken for a FF car? Thats just insane.

 

[sheruken]

Well lets put it this way, "IF" they had made a mistake like putting an SL55AMG wheel (rims) on the Standard SL500, OR, had made Dodge Charger / Mercedes McLaren SLR or any other more popular car a 4WD, Many people including me would've ranted on how could they make such a mistake, but still that wouldn't have stopped us from buying this Ultra Amazing Game.
Though, from where I come from. We people are very Superstitious (for egs, when a new baby is born, we intentionally leave a black mark or a black dot on the baby's forehead, just to keep bad omen away from her/him). Its basically for good luck, or atleast to keep bad luck away. I hear Japanese people are also very Superstitious. I've read in some magazine few years back that, Hideo Kojima, the creator of Metal Gear Solid games, leaves an intentional flaw somewhere in his game, and says he's done it for a reason, now its anyones guess what reason it could be.. Not that I am saying these mistakes are intentional, but as they are very small and on cars that 80% of people arent even going to bother, it could be a Possibility.. .
