I hope they'll allow custom soundtracks, and maybe fix a couple goofy mistakes from GT3 (needs more auto-save and proportional music volume adjustment). Custom decals would be cool. And so would be grabbing memory card data from GT3.

I'm hoping it has more than just the mark four supra in it, GT2 had the mk3 which was pretty rad, but I want more damn it. OH and a better car upgrade system perhaps, instead of just 'generic turbo upgrade' you could chose from different brands like Garret or what not.
Also requesting Toyota Cressida be available.

HA HA HA! Ain't it the truth...recently I saw Electric Playground for the first time in a couple of years, it was the E3 episode, and now I remember why I quit watching in the first place. Tommy still licks Sony's boots, and the other guy seems to have sold his soul to Microsoft. They didn't have one thing to say about Nintendo...but they mentioned every single other thing on the floor. *puke*
Ummm...as for Gran Turismo 4, I would be very interested in playing it if I had a PS2, but I don't.
Great, now I really want to play some racing games! I should spend less time posting and more time playing!

In addition to the all new photo mode, Yamauchi has confirmed that GT 4 will feature drift racing, and that flea market, travel agent, and bank modes are in the works- though when asked to expand, all he said was "use your imagination" -(taken straight from the latest EGM).

and now there's the new portables
Damn, I forgot about that! I have some 10 games and 5 DVD sets I want this year and I completely forgot about the DS. I need a job.

Hot. Is there some all encompassing car list some place? I'm hoping a good number of Toyotas make it in, old and new, cars like the Mk3 Supra (it was in GT2), old and new Soarer, Cressida (lawl, drifto barge), and other things I guess. Question, is / will the PS2 HDD be sold seperatly, or does it exclusivly come with FFXI?
Post by: Infernal Monkey on July 22, 2004, 02:32:50 AM
I'm really looking forward to the rally type tracks in GT4. They were my favorite bits in GT3. Stuff those Colin McGrey Face Rally games, GT3 did it better.

Well, if it's basically just knowing all numbers, it wouldn't be hard to implement, especially for those nuts Polyapheopanponay. But you go through tires faster than fuel anyway, (right?), so wouldn't it be a non-issue?

Well theres over 500 cars in the game, so probably atleast half of those cars have different gas tank sizes. Then just about every car in the game will have different miles per gallon performance. Then depending on how a player races (different racing style (ex. drift, brake early, brake late, etc), how many times a player goes off course or crashes, how the tires are affecting the cars miles per gallon, how drifting saves miles per gallon. All that would be tons of mathematical equations and programming.
As for going through tires faster than fuel, yes that's true. But refueling wouldn't be a non issue because you'd have to pit in at different points for both tires and fuel. For example in a 20 lap race you might have to pit in every 3-8 laps for tires (depending on the type of tires you use), and maybe once for fuel. If you're lucky you could get that fuel on the 2nd pit in for tires, but it would also tack extra time on your pit time. Then theres the 30 & 50 lap races, and finally the endurance races of upto 250 laps or more which would both result in having to pit in at separate times for tires and refueling.
Post by: KDR_11k on July 24, 2004, 11:14:33 AM
joe: Fuel also affects the weight of the car which is why in Formula 1 there are different strategies regarding your tank filling, some use a full tank and stop only once, most use two stops and less tank filling for better accelleration. Though I don't know how dramatic that effect would be on the races GT4 simulates, whatever those may be (I don't know any car racing champonships besides Formula 1 and DTM). I'd guess the cars it uses weight a lot more than the Formula 1 cars...
Post by: joeamis on July 24, 2004, 11:37:35 AM
I forgot about including the weight fuel adds to the cars. Since each cars weight is a key parameter in the cars for Gran Turismo, that would make the whole issue of including refueling a helluva lot more stressful to include into the game, especially if they let you determine how much refueling you want to do at each pit in. The car's it uses do weigh alot more than F1 cars, only the top real life Gran Turismo racing championship cars often shown on the racing tv channels could come close to the weight of F1 cars.

I like the idea 'standard' course, a rally course, and a speedway course. Maybe two standard courses though, one that has lots of tight turns and one that doesn't. Or people could just post their times and info for their favorite courses, and then others can add more or challenge those times. Like pick and choose, and it'd be fun to see times for lots of courses. But I guess have the 3 or 4 courses being the main challenge ones. Setup something like this:
Main Challenge Courses:
- Super Spdway
- Apricot Hill
- Laguna Seca
- (rally course)
Drivers Favorites Courses:
- (etc)
EDIT: We could also have the main challenge courses vary over time, like a new one added each month, or a drivers favorite course that has lots of entries be promoted up to a main challenge one.
