4th quarter release. The off-season will be fun this year.


:EDIT: Damnit, calling bs on myself, did a little more research and it looks like the list is spurious, not genuine, and worth...f..k all. Sorry.

WOW! I'm tempted to buy a PS2 just for that game.

 

anybody else notice (how could you not notice...) all the Gran Tourismo 4 billboards at LeMans?

My only hope is that they tighten up the handling and physics of the game. Racing sims have advanced by leaps and bounds over the past 4 or 5 years but GT has just about stayed the same.

 

They finally put the CRX back. That was a huge disappointment in GT3.

 

Prelude Too!!! Type S and 3rd Gen

 

Yea that list looks way suspicious. I doubt the game will have THAT many cars.

 

its supposedly fake, and just some guys wish list for the game.

 

How about all the formula cars (especially the turbo ones from the 80's)? Gran Turismo would be nothing without those!

 

that can't be for real. theres way too many cars. i'll believe it when i see it

 

Actually, there is a great article about GT4 and an interview with its creator Kazunori Yamauchi in the June EVO magazine. Here are some quotes:

"The engine has been refined for GT4, which according to Yamauchi means it generates a very accurate simulation or each car, which in turn means lap times in the game are extremely close to what real cars would achieve in real life. If it sems strang to think a time you've set in your living room around Laguna Seca would translate accurately to the realtrack, it's even more freaky to think that if if ever someone built a real-life Trial Mountain (Yamauchi's ultimate fantasy circuit), you'd not only know what time you should be turning in your R34 Skyline GTR, but also what camber changes you'd need to dial-out the scrubby understeer through turn 4."

"By the time they've finished, more than a thousand cars will have been documented for inclusion, making GT4 many times larger than all the previous generations of the game combined."

I cannot wait.

(btw, if you guys are not reading the British car magazine evo, you are mising the best automobile magazine out there today in my opinion.)

 

This is OT, but does anyone know which real-life track the Mid-Field Raceway is modeled on? It's the same as in real life, but with a bit more straightaway to make it more exciting for the game.

 

i heard midfield was modeled after honda's test track, but who knows.

 

I'm pretty sure you're right. Which test track, does anyone know the name? is it Tochigi or Togichi or whatever?

 

It's not Suzuka is it? I know that's what the F1 cars race on.

 

The Toyota GT-One owns me - now and forever. Amen.

 

Suzuka. The bridge crossover gives it away....

 

So this is for PS2 for sure? (that web site was "too busy", couldn't see it.)

I hope so because I bough my ps2 for GT3 when it came out (yep, I have only 1 game), so I don't want to have to get another system for this one!

Glad to hear I'm not alone!

 

Try ProRaceDrive and WRC Ralley if you've got the Steering wheel (forcefeed back one)

Yes I'm a PS2 racing geek

 

I too have those games, and the Logitech wheel. I also read the EVO article. American car magazines could really take lessons from EVO. Too bad it costs so much.

Yeah the list above was someone's wish list. Good news is that there will be that many cars or more according to the EVO article. Hope the real car list is as diverse as the one above. Bring on the BMWs, Ferrari's, 50's and 60's sports and formula racers, hell anything but a Daihatsu!

Sweet Grand Canyon Rally





Supposed to have 500+ cars and the review lists 25 that were available for the demo. The steering wheel also sounds cool.
Probably a year away though
