Yeah, pretty much. I've had it for less than 2 days...and I've put around 20 hours into already. It's pathetic what this game does to me, really. I'm going to climb upstairs for 3 minutes, scream HAPPY NEW YEAR and crawl back downstairs to the game room. =(

I've been doing all the license tests and I am up to International A license(all silvers and up). Will do some real racing first before going for the S license.
The last couple of tests in IA are interesting. IA-15 is a full lap of the difficult Nurburgring, and IA-16 have you driving in a Nissan racecar going more than 370km/h or 230MPH. Wow! The sense of speed is amazing.
Also finish several missions in Mission Hall. This is where the game teaches/tests your overtaking skills. I like this mode.
Oh, and the Photo Mode is great as well. Much more intesting than I had first thought.

I managed to pass driving the Benz on Nur in one shot. Seriously, could you imagine failing that when you're already 7 minutes into it? Hardest license test ever. Shit, I was being so cautious, and I still managed to get a silver.
I also did the first 10 Missions...man, you get one hell of a fucking car once you do. =D
Alpha you have the game already???????????
Give impressions of the graphics ddue. I mean, in your opinion are they better than RalliSport Challenge II? Burnout 3? PGR2(probably a dumb question)?
What kind of TV do you have? HDTV? Is it super duper clear?
Do you have the logitech wheel?
Are the license tests easier or harder than GT3?

Found another bug:
I bought a WRX STi Spec-C. Showroom said the car had 280ps, when I looked at it in my garage in said 326ps. Heh :\

that's not a bug.

It's probably that agreement they have over there about not listing more than 280 ps, doesn't mean it can't make more.

GT4 is impressive. Far more impressive that I thought it would be. The open course locales (like Midfield Raceway and etc.) are a lot sharper, brighter, and overall more pleasing to look at when compared to their much duller GT3 counterparts. The new tracks, like El Capitan, Grand Canyon, Cita de Azure, etc. etc., are fucking mindblowing. El Capitan is without a doubt the most gorgeous track you'll ever lay eyes on. The background detail is stupendous. The city tracks (Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, NYC, Seattle) are sooooo gorgeous and vivid. And vivid is something I've noticed GT4 is -- PD used a much more vivid color palette to make sure nothing about the game's overall look is muddy (like some parts of GT3 were).
The lighting is noticeably better, as cars will reflect the surroundings in more defined detail. The car detail is downright flawless. And when you add 60 frames, 1080i and 480p into the mix...you definitely have the best looking racer on the market.

The rain course looks so aweosme:
Lord Error
Insane For Sony
Question for anyone playing the game - in the intro they show some really pretty snowy track with a lake that reflects the mountain above it, and some really nice looking evergreen trees. Is that track there in game and does it really look that good?
Yeah, I've noticed that, but I thought that the "original" photo was just a bit overcompressed with JPEG, and that's just one of those banding artifacts that can appear after heavy color manipulaiton on JPEG picture in Photoshop. It really had me fooled.

Am I the only one a bit underwhelmed with the visuals because of all the flickering going on in the background? This is regardless if its in 1080i or 480p. I haven't tried 480i yet. It's sorta takes away from the visual quality.

Marty Chinn said:
Yeah, I'd say it is a bit annoying, but it's an improvement over GT3. Wonder if it still flickers in 1080 or 480.
Marty Chinn

It does, but I guess you've now confirmed its just as bad in 480i which I haven't tried.

People need to stop playing this game and start talking about it in this thread. No posts in 3 hours is unacceptable.......

Yeah, seriously...I've posted the most here. I suppose because it's an import not that many people here have it.

Still no sign of the drifting event?
Why is a wet road lame? At least it's something that's possible. I can assure you I've driven wet roads when there was no rain a million times.
There are far lamer things you can be sure of that, like "headlamps" that dont light the environment, indestructible cars, huge turbos without any real lag, just an offset in the power curve, etc...

Stop defending the game like its your moms honor.

Oh and actually. from a driving point of view, a wet road without rain would be like a fire without smoke, since even if there is no rain, if the road is wet, you'll have wet driving conditions all the same. Now if it showed rain but didn't affect driving, now THAT would be smoke without fire.

Great to hear, I'll have to do more missions then.
AlphaSnake said:
Yep, everthing looks sharper and more refined, even the textures seem better looking. I also notice the richer and more vivid colors as well, giving the older tracks a fresher look.
El Capitan is the most gorgeous looking track so far, driving around in the majestic mountain terrain is jaw-dropping. I bet you can take some gorgeous photos doing Photo Drive in this track. Hong Kong, New York, Grand Canyon and the Italian tracks look very good as well.
Marty Chinn said:
About the only flaw graphically is the flickering which, unfortunately, is still quite visible at times.

Of course you were defending it, dont try that shit with me. :lol
Wet road without rain is wrong, part of the joy of riding in the wet is the decreased visibility in addition to the loss of traction.

The corn in my crap is smarter and more witty than you. :superduperinternetpenisrolleyes:
I would have liked to see clutch + the chance to use a non-sequential manual drive ... This is IMO the biggest letdown. Graphically and gameplay wise the game seems to have lived up to the hype.
Now I wonder if they'll add something really valuable for NTSC US/PAL releases...And I also wonder if a GT4 concept or similar will make appearance...I personally would like to see a GT game with only classics from the 50/60/70s.

ourumov said:
Come to think of it - that would not be such a bad idea. The L1 should be the clutch button, and the Right analog stick should act like the gear lever. How hard would it be to recognize your right thumb movements as shifts?
This might just work:
L1 = clutch
L2 = handbrake
R1 = accelerator
R2 = brake
Left+Up = 1st
Left+Down = 2nd
Up = 3rd
Down = 4th
Right+Up = 5th
Right+Down = 6th
R3+Left+Up = Reverse
R3 = N
For 5-gear manual boxes the Reverse could go Right+Down
Sure it would be a pain to get used to it, so it should be selectable as an option in say GT5 (that is if the PS3 has DualShock3). That way, you could still steer using the lest stick or the d-pad and could even brakeshift and switch to whatever gear you like. 5th -> 1st. And you could brake with your clutch pressed, so the rear end would swing more easily on RWD cars. The "Real driving simulator" would get even more real.
As for the 50/60/70s only GT, well, then you would miss >50% of what GT is all about - driving your own soprtscar in the game. No Civics, no Celicas, no RX-7's or Supras.

That would actually work really well. Hell, even if it didn't, I'd like to have the option. I think that may be where it's going next, but who knows. There was that one comment made about Enthusia where they said (I'm paraphrasing here) "I think they might be making it too realistic".
Hard to say, but I can tell you right now if they implemented something like that, I wouldn't complain

This is so weird...
I have a used 94 Mitsubishi FTP. Stock the car is 220PS and weighs about 2900lbs. Now, putting the car on a diet and bringing it down to about 2300lbs and pushing 288ps -- I'm only getting into the mid 14s?! Ahaha...there is something terribly wrong with that.

ActionMan said:
WTF are you talking about? Pushing in a clutch and braking in a RWD does not make it easier to pull the rear out. Brakeshifting? You mean engine braking? There is no real good reason to shift from 5th to first. A good sequencial shifter is always better than an H gate shift. Clutch is only needed for launch and emergency disengagement.

1080 for what? Super Truck racing?
