GT4 release tomorrow!!! In Japan woohoo

[Stevie]

Rezz: God bless you for this sneak peak! lol. Can you please tell me if the R33 Gts-T is featured? With my luck it will be the only car left out! Please post a screen shot if it is in the game!

[prae]

*drool*

Wonder when the aussie release will be out? Will they hold it to the end of this year?

Apparently by March (nooo..that's when Uni starts )

liksang has put up a pretty neat translation guide to help you get through the menus..

Hey Rezz: Have you tried saving a high res shot from the game and saving it to a usb memory stick in 1080i res?? Just want to see if its as spectacular as the earlier promo shots that were put out. Apparently the game runs nicely in 1080 during the races?? That would be incredible to watch..

[Rezz]

Stevie: It seems Yamaouchi Kazunori thinks the only whales worth having in the game are GT-R whales... sorry. R32 GTS-t Type M's are in though (woohoo - I've already made a 'look-alike' thats just like my car).

predator: Whats 1080i? I haven't realy changed any graphics setting yet bar the 16:4 screen ratio.

Hey Justin,

Nice shots mate. Do you know if the pulsar GTI-R made it in?

Thanks,

Richard

[Rezz]

mmmgtir: haven't seen the GTi-R yet... but it could be in the game? It's hard to say because the 'Used Car' section changes vehicles every 10 days or something, so you might miss seeing a particular car for quite a while, only to have it pop up 3 years after you bought the game hehehe

[Beer Baron]

Yeah, I thought it may be hard to tell at this stage. I've heard conflicting reports on whether or not it made it in the game. I guess I'll just have to wait and see

[Rezz]

eg: I only just saw the 'Sileighty' after 5 days...

[whyw8]

how long would it take to post the game from japan???

[Beer Baron]

why wait?

hahahahaha.

sorry, couldn't help it.

liksang.com has it for $100 shipped to australia if anybody is interested.. not too bad.

lol - funny that they have the r32 gts-t and not the r33.. they must really have a thing against the R33 over there

predator: Whats 1080i? I haven't realy changed any graphics setting yet bar the 16:4 screen ratio.

I was reading that the game outputs 1080 x xxx (not sure what the vertical size is) resolution - high definition, if you have a nice large TV and the correct connectors. So you basically get the full resolution rendered inside the PS2, not the downsampled resolution that you get with standard (480i) mode? It says that its viewable in the presentation mode (where you can view and print your cars on a usb printer), and the actual race, but not the menus?

I believe only the japanese ps2 is able to output a full high definition signal. Just curious as to whether you had seen it or tried it.

if anyone knows someone who or has a copy for sale, I'll gladly buy it,........

i know is highly unlikley, but i guess its worth a shot.....

its just so hard trying to getting in contact with people o/s

[Beer Baron]

like pred says http://liksang.com/news.php?artc=3558 will be your best bet.

I got a little further in the game...

Theres a circuit called 'Circuite de la Sarthe', it is and absolutely awesome track, rather like the 'Isle of Man' bike race circuit but for cars. In it you can hold the exelerator down for 2 -3 mins full throttle in the LM cars = speeds of about 370 -380km/h... "so what" I hear you say? Well in GT4 the sensation of 300km/h+ speeds has improved sooooooooo much, you'll almost crap yourself everytime you get in a real racing car!!!! Seriously, this is THE ultimate car simulation, bar none

I also got the 'Carbon R'... built by Power House Amuse, it's a carbon bodied R34 GT-R with 600ps standard. It has spectacular handling on the circuit, well, with only 1100kg to lug around it had better handle good!

... and I also got the 'Toyota 7'. It's a 1970 Can-Am category car... this car is really special... in 1970 it had: carbon fibre and FRP body, twin-turbo 5000cc V8 (check out the pics to see the crazy turbo placement!!! Talk about a short exhaust pipe!) pushing out 800ps @ 8000rpm all in a 620kg chassis!!!

I love this game... I can't put it down.

[Beer Baron]

I reckon that turbo placement is bloody genius (for a race car). get some nice cooling air over the turbs, short exhaust tract, possible flameage. all positives imo.
