Gt4, whats the point. 
1 Shiny new DFPro after much comment and reaffirmation about GT4 online mode, to perfect my laps to within 15mm of the racing line, to compete online against the best out there, might as well not have bothered, no need to be perfect in an AI world, should have saved my money and bought an X BOX in preparation for FORZA, and continued using my DS2.
GT1 was groundbreaking new racing game, where online wasnt an option.
GT2 was an expansion in to a massive racng arena, online still not an option.
GT3 was the first foray in to Ps2 territory, yet apart from polished graphics the game was dull, due to crap AI, and was the first Gt I couldnt be bothered to get more than 60%.
Next up the Promise of GT Online, this announcement was made even before GT3 released.
Even after cancelling the release last year of GT4, and after E3 saying they fixed the online issues, didnt they realise that Europe had a fairly low Broadband take up?
(Boy do I feel Stupid, just upgraded to a 1meg connection, wireless router, bridge and network adaptor, all just in the last few days, not to mention the DFP just for GT4, Oh well im sure something else will come along to make me want to hook all that up to my PS2 and game online)
Do they really expect things to change that much over the next year. ( I Highly doubt the arrival of a New online game in 2005, with Developement needed to complete the PSP version, and the get into full swing For PS3 GT)
GT4 becomes a huge dissapointment suddenly
YES it will still be a good game, but it could have been the best Console game ever.
What the hell is this all about?
Mission races
Another new concept to be debuted in GT4 is the mission-based racing event. Much like the 'scenario' modes seen in a number of football titles, these mission races won't necessarily begin at the starting grid. For example, you may be required to win a race from a few seconds - or even a full lap - behind the opposition. Polyphony has introduced this option to give you the chance to instantly experience typical dramatic racing situations, as well enjoy the challenge of trying to clear the mission objectives.
I guess the AI hasnt improved that much!
High scores
Finally (yes, really), there's the newly-implemented high score system. Typically, races in GT have imposed all sorts of race regulations - tyre types, maximum horsepower, etc. - which has restricted the variety of cars allowed to compete in certain events. GT4 omits many of these regulations in favour of a high score system which lets you earn points from successful races based on the vehicle and modifications you use.
Win a race at a disadvantage - driving a 200hp car in a 400hp race, for example - and you'll earn more points than, say, winning the race in a 600hp motor. In effect, this gives you the chance to play through the game as you wish, whether you prefer to progress quickly at the expense of points, or to take the risk and drive at a disadvantage to send your scores soaring.
That an the addition of NOS and B spec mode makes it sound like the withdrawal of Online mode, has been replaced with arcade features.
Boll#x to it, Im really Peed at the mo, dont care if this partial rant makes any sense.

If the AI sucks, as much as I love GT, I will stll be extremely disappointed. How can they make the same mistake 4 times?
If they add hard drive support, that is.. which would be great, because then they could continue to provide new cars and tracks.
