I am creating this thread because tonight has been the first night I successfully played GT4 Online. I played with a guy from Michigan and Pennsylvania using Xlink. At first Ryen and I tried to set things up but he was having technical difficulties, sorry next time.

The level of fun just went up !!! :crazy: :drool:
There is alot of potential for online battles where at least one of the drivers has a video capture card and can capture the drift battles. Or the we can set up a three player session where the third person volunteers to record the battle (which I could do) I spent a good hour drifting with the guy from Pennsylvania. He needed more practice but non the less, it was FUN. The lag was there but playable. I captured some video of experience but since its late I will have to upload them tomorrow. I will added the links to this first thread when they are ready.

The purpose of this thread is to open discussions about Xlink for playing GT4 Online. I know another thread is there in the GT4 forum, but this one wll caiter more to drifting and setting up drift sessions for practicing and meets. My Xtag is BreakerOhio, so if you already are on Xlink and want to find more people to connect with, lets start discussions here. 👍

:cheers:


Here are some clips put together of the races that we had.

It was real close. My first race was the Midfield race where it was back to back between the Amuse S2000's. At the end I pulled it off with a draft and won by .02 secs. The other driftier is no one on this forum, I don't think. I just started doing it and then we agreed to try drifting in tandum.
 
Yea, it took use like 3 hours to get it working right. But when you see twin drifting going on, it makes you smile.

There was another incident, where I'm leading and trying to shake of the guy behind me from drafting. It was so funny you have to imagine it, he keep following my line on the long stretch of Fuji. :)

How do you make it so you can pick your own cars. I only get JGTC, BTW nice video.

As far as networking goes, you can't use your garage cars but you can add a whole lot of cars to your favorites to use.
 
optimum pings are around 30 or so, 60-90 is still playable, 100 and up is annoying but still possible to play.

Ive gotten 3 other people(total of 4 people) from around here to play all at once! It's a blast! (trying to get more for some Tsukuba battles!)



Werd about the drafting! it's funny as hell when trying to shake someone and they just keepfollowing your line (I always end up messing up on the ring when I'm duking it out with someone on the last long straight because I'm laughing so hard.
 
yeah my xlink was messed up again.. Got it working this morning don't know why it messed up last night breaker.
 
So is Xlink just software? I dont own an xbox and have no clue about their services or whatever. Maybe you should list whats needed and post a walk thru of how to get started.

Here's your answer furthy up in the thread...

This sounds interesting. How does this work? Do you have to sign up for an online service like XBox Live?

I might consider this in the future :)

Edit: found the thread in the GT4 forum: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=55956

I'm racing right now with 4 people. Its sweet as hell!

That's cool...it's too bad that we have to work this hard to play GT4 online. :indiff:
 
I just go done playing a four player race. We must have done over 10 races. Very competitive and fun!


We did series of races. 4 races with points for placing just like GT Mode.
