GT4 Released today!

[Widar]

Hope that you all have your wheel setup, your days off from work and so on. In 72 minuter is GT4 released!

Man, I got it on Monday, but I'm selling my PS2, with GT3 and GT4. Reason? I'll sell for 200 euro, plus the 100-150 euro I would spend on the wheel setup that's 300-350 euro. That's a Sparco Evo seat from demon-tweeks.co.uk

As far as the game is concerned, it looks goooood! Impossible to play without the wheel though, especially high power cars. The improvement in graphics, sound, etc is relatively small compared to GT2 -> GT3. Which shows PS2 potential was pretty much utilized to the fullest in GT3. I would expect a much bigger improvement in GT5.

Happy gaming!

Dorito,

Actually you are fairly wrong there. If the graphics in GT4 have not improved much compared to GT3, the PS2 still is doing nearly nothing.

Mate of mine does serious optimizing work for PS2 games and he mentioned GT3 currently uses about 20% of the total capability of the PS2. But maybe it simply doesn't need more. GT series is all about handling. The graphics are pretty much good enough as they are

Still from what I've heard about GT5 it is going to be a major improvement. One of the things GT so far has not had compared to other games is damage to your cars and the reason is fairly simple. They have never given the AI in the game much effort. When racing against computer opponents you would always win because the opponents will have wrecked eachother far before reaching the finish line (that is, if they haven't wrecked you yet). It would have turned into demolishion derby
GT5 is supposed to adres this issue. A proper AI and damage to your car, so no more shortcuts, bumping off the sides, etc.

And don't forget GT2 was for the PSOne, not for the PS2.

Haha... Can still remember Demolition Derby 1: just save your car and win. Do not try to inflict any damage to the opponents: you will only lose that way.
