Well, I try to remember everything but I was re-packing my prize (PS2) *note* I might have missed some.
Why only 6 cars per race?
All cars have different physics in handling. All the cars you race will behave differently and that takes alot of memory and computation power. There is only that much power from PS2. If we reduce the graphics, we could add more. In fact, in our test lap machine, we raced with 20 cars. But we didn't want to sacrifice the look for more cars. Six is about enough. We will wait for PS3 for more resource to add more cars may be.
Will there be more cars like GT2 to select from in GT4?
By the time when GT4 is out, it will be a year or so later. We haven't confirmed the list yet but we would also like to include more cars.
They have GTC in Japan, Korea, Europe, Australia and Hong Kong. Why not USA?
I didn't make the decision, but the company sees there is still potential for GT3 to sell, we don't want people buying GTC and not GT3.
I see the physics of the car handling in gtc2002 has changed from gtc2001, will there be other changes in GT4 like the car crashes and flip over, or race in rain?
We like to put damages onto the cars, but not all the car companies like to see their car damaged or flip over. If there is only one company doesn't want the damage on the her car, we can't do it and we can't just put damage on a few cars and not all. We could put in a raining course but the computation for the graphics is just too high such that it's not fun at all. However, more likely we will snow or water on the road. They are more doable.
Is there any other games you are working on besides GT4?
Not at the moment but I would like to do a couple more GT games before I jump onto another development.
Are you going to put the Suzuki **060**** track into the game? (I totally forgot what name that was......was it Suzuki or Isuzu)
We don't know yet. Of course there will be core tracks like those in previous GTs. And for sure there will be a Hong Kong track in GT4. We have been touring around HK and taking pictures and notes on the sites. We will keep the detail of courses we include in GT4 as secret. So nothing is for sure and anything is possible.
It's hard to bring multiple TVs and PS2s into the same place and i-link them. Are you going to support online play such as Internet?
Gee, I forgot what he said but you guys know the answer pretty well.
Hard disk for PS2 has been out for awhile but why so little support, and will GT4 support it?
This question is from the same guy who asked the last one and I didn't catch his answer.
Ah......i was re-packing my PS2 at that time.
Hey, blame them giving me an empty box to take picture with him and a big bag of what's supposed to be inside the box. Well, at least I asked the flip over and USA questions so you guys now know why you don't have GTC.
These are all I can remember. And I ate a few pieces of sushi there, and took a few pictures with the car girls
. Wait until you see the pictures .
