WTF! GT4 is NOT online

[sUn]

Can we please talk about the main idea of the thread?

Can't you leave The359 alone? Put him on your ignore list, just don't fight about it in a perfectly good thread.

There are about 50 cars that I truly enjoyed in GT3. The ones that I go back to when I want to race friends or just do some quick laps. The rest were driven a couple times, tested out with different parts and setups, then left in the dust. It's a monumental waste.

But here's the thing: The 50 cars that you truly enjoyed may be different than the next guy's 50. And a third person may have his own enjoyable 50 cars. And so on. After all, people have different tastes. You might like American muscle, while I'm in love with German engineering. By putting in a wide selection of cars, PD has given the game a much wider appeal than any racer before it. That's how you build a series that sells ~10 million units with each installment.

PS: I would love to see some kind of written statements from manufacturers saying they don't want their cars damaged in games. It always comes up but nobody ever has a good example. Please produce some kind of evidence to shut me up.

Yamauchi has said it himself numerous times. Maybe he's lying, I don't know.

yeah GT4 won't have online initially. That's it. End of story.

If anybody wants to argue anymore, then just reread the entire thread. That should kill any desire to criticise anything about GT4.

People don't like to respect other people's opinions unless they are heaping praise on the GT series. I keep forgetting that.

The manufactures do not want there cars to be damaged in Gran Turismo 4, because if they are damaged they will give the effect to the person buying or driving in the game that there car sucks, since Gran Turismo 4 is a real life driving simulator, you cannot hit the whole at 150mph and have a scratch, your car would be totaled, theres no point of implementing such nonsense. So the best thing is not to implement it at all.

Totaly agree, and with a damage model for each car it would not fit on the disk i think.

What are disclaimers for? Or maybe Sony must have fired their entire legal department.

they have long paragraphs of legal disclaimers before every Gran turismo game boots up, stating that the driving depicted herein may not be true to life, and that driving as in the game should not be attempted off the track.

What kind of bloody moron would buy a car thinking that it would handle exactly the same as in Gran Turismo? It's a game, not real life.

Another post saying that in GT, it's all or nothing. Well, there's never been a perfect implementation of anything in GT. So I guess they shouldn't have bothered making the damn things, because they've never had everything absolutely right.

when did I mention Forza? Not once. Forza could be the cure for cancer, but I didnt bring it up, so ease off.

I don't recall talking to you...

And I haven't driven every car in GT3, but I still play the game and have fun with it.

The same moron who buys a Hummer and thinks it can jump concrete blocks because they saw it in a commercial.

The same moron who thinks kids will steal parents cars and try to make them fly over ramps as seen in a Corvette commercial.

The same moron who thinks he can do anything on Jackass merely because the guys on Jackass did it.

You overestimate the human race.

 

[The359]

the359, well I was gonna do a massive thread, about how your talking crap and stuff, but I decided just to tell you to shut it. Seemed easier.

Be my guest, make a thread.

Yes, times are sad, but as I said, that's what lawyers are for, and Sony has lots of those.

I mean it, go right ahead.

So do McDonald's. Didn't stop them losing the case where the woman spilled hot coffee over her and sued because she was unaware that the coffee may be hot. Which is why McDonald's - and other fast food retailers - print "Caution: Contents May Be Hot" on their coffee cups (the word "may" is included so that people don't sue when, 4 hours later, their coffee has gone cold, but the cup said it'd be hot. Really).


mashoutposse - It's because complaining vociferously and lashing out randomly are much easier things to do than have any constructive, coherent thought. Sadly.

There you go: disclaimers in action.

I enjoyed that story. The end is nigh, or at least it should be.

Oh yeah, and complaining vociferously may be easier than being coherent, but when you are incensed, it's a perfectly natural thing to do.

I wouldn't say my posts are completely devoid of anything constructive either.

that one's a lot better than the overused "special olympics" variation. 👍

Your loss.

I can't even figure out why everybody's arguing, and I've gone over a good portion of this thread. Why must you guys always fight?

With that said, December 14th is the tentative release date, GT4 won't have online play, and I don't want to see you guys being such jerks to each other again, else you wish to get even more notice from the moderating staff. *Click*
