What's gonna be new in GT4?

[lil_viper]

I heard of alot of improvements but what's actuall gonna be new?

 

[GT-40/787b]

well maybe the biggest noticement would be the new car lay and, and the thing the player will "feel" the most is the new physics engine. Other little things like reflection quality,replay value, and other such things has also gone up. Also on top of that, we have a some what wide variaty (as opposed to NFS's Contach, Diablo/SV, Mercilego) and last but not least, A NEW DRIVING WHEEL!

The graphics engine has been redesigned so the car animaters "got to play around with the designs of cars" they took actual cars (reference to OPM) and recorded the sounds of actual cars, then moded them from show room to sound like they were from the engine of the car, but on the track or in the mud.

and probable the one thing most people have been waiting for, THE RETURN OF THE MUSCLE CARS! if you remember in GT2, you have a few muscle cars, nothing big... gt3, yeah we have a shelby, but we are talking like VETTES! the past three instalments focused on the comaro as the chevy base, although there was the c5-r in gt3, its a new day vett,some of us like them moldy oldys, like the '50s sting ray. If nothing else, the rumor of fords concept GT-90 is enough to want me to buy the game.


Is that enough "new" for yah, or am i gonna have to explain the physics engine?

 

[lil_viper]

Dats cool yo, anyone else know more of the new stuff?

Another new thing is the wheels are sort of 3D while your driving, not as 2D as GT3

man i would so order Prologue but i dont want to get into any modding my ps2.
anywho
I wanna know more about hte new physics compared to the old GT3 physics.

Braking how does it feel turning and braking into a low speed corners? what about braking at high speeds?

accelerating/tire physics from a complete stop, engine at idle, with Traction control disabled can you mash the accelerator and not have tons and tons of wheel slippage in a FF car?

 

[codered_59]

braking...isn't as easy as it was before

at high speed breaking, weight shifts occurs and tires lock up, causing ur car's rear to sorta shift to oneside or the other...

as for low speed braking...it seems like braking requires a bit more effort to achieve what you want...

u can rev ur engine more pleasingly before the game starts

and one of hte bigger differences that I noticed is that rally racing is actaully challenging....=P

The rally race feels alot more realistic, you need to prepare for each crner alot more than in GT3's rally mode.

Other improvments are a much wider variety in the tests, not just do this section of track in this time, you have tasks like cone gates and overtake someone without hitting them now.

more cars than any other GT game, that means 600+, GT2 had around 600 in it.
More tracks, PD say 100, expect around 50 with forward and reverse variations though.
Improved graphics, while the cars look almost the same as in GTC the scenery is improved as are the spectators, although they are still flat pixelated cut outs, they move now, and when your going past at 100Mph who cares if they don't look as detatiled as Lara Croft in AoD.
The improved physics, mentioned already, I'd just like to emphasise that it does improve the game, if your used to playing GT3 don't worry that it will feel completely different, it won't.
More upgrades, there is sadi to be around twice as many parts to upgrade and tweak inGT4 than in GT3.
Body kits, GT4 marks the return of body kits, KY has left a hole here by not specifying what he means, it could be aero parts you add to the car yourself or it could be the return of the race mod like in GT1 and 2 which is most likely.
The sound, one of the bigger criticisms of GT3 were the engine noises on some cars, GT4's sound alot better, louder, clearer and on a whole more effective.
Online play, how much you can do online isn't known yet, expect races between 2 - 6 players, forums for discussion on all things GT and KY has said he's interested in online trading, there is a possibilty of downloadable extras but thats not likely.
The new wheel, it's meant to be so good with GT4 it's a reason to buy the game on it's own.

If I remeber anything else I'll let you know.

That was very helpful, GJ.

I'm told that, after the smell-o-disc of GT2 (it smelled like burning rubber, but was supposed to be impregnated with the smell of a pitstop), the GT4 game disc will taste of hotdogs.

At least it'll stop them asking wut tha bst caar iz (sic).
