Got GT4 tonight, all I have to say is... Options

[saleeka]

I really am supprised at how different it is from GT3. First off, there are tons of menus to navigate through, and i much prefer the GT3 setup. The graphics are better, and the cars drive much differently than from what GT3 was. The sense of speed is now fully intact, and people who were great at driving in GT3 will have to relearn how to drive... the first car i drove around in was a 91 GT-Four RC on laguna seca, and it was not as easy as i thought it would be. i havent checked out b-spec mode yet, or the photography mode, so i cant comment on them yet. Overall, I feel a little overwhelmed by the sheer size of this game right now to be honest. So far i dont have any real complaints, but i have the feeling that this will be a game where you have to practice even more than what you had to do in GT3. So yeah, not dissapointed (yet), but not exactly crapping my pants with excitement...

My take on the game ive been waiting nearly 2 years to puchase:

physics engine is MUCH improved... much more focus is placed on grip angle and weight transfer, feels much more like real driving. Dualshock buttons are MUCH more sensitive, which I like, but will take some getting used to... no doubt a side effect from needing a more sensitive range to make the 900 degree wheel feel more precise.

menus are as mentioned very elaborite, but i love it like this, theres soooooo much more to do and explore, makes it more exciting. I love they reincorperated the used car lots and added onto them.

i love the fact that you can import GT3 B and A licenses and up to 100,000 Credits, gives you a bit of a headstart and means you dont have to fiddle with B and A licenses.

graphics are good... but i was a little disappointed in the clarity of the cones when i was doing figure 8's in the japanese playground lot... im probably just too harsh on graphics now since ive become used to my Hi-Def package with my X-Box

its nice not every avid GT3 player can jump onto GT4 and be good.... you have to learn the physics curve all over again... and this time its much steeper. After about a half hour of fiddling with the I-B license i really got the hang of it.

overall i give the game an A-, Online feature and dualshock sensitivity adjustment would bump it to a solid A.
