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

[st202gt]

i just bought the game today..............can't wait to play it tomorrow

[Sev408]

well ive got my rx7 up to 469hp now and its on stage 2 turbo.

im pissed tho i bought racing tires and the races wont let me use them yet

[saleeka]

is anyone else annoyed with the autosave that cant be disabled or defeated? I used to "test" cars out in GT3 before commiting to them buy reloading if they sucked, but now you cant even play if you dont save the game

[Tweek]

yea, i used to test the cars too. That kinda sucks. But the new b-spec feature lets you make all the money you need for a new one. Just get a good car and let it race for you. I'm in 2nd right now while I am typing this, lol.

[Tweek]

have you seen the Jay Leno car? that thing is cool, I wanna race it!

[shid]

Saleeka, autosave can be mostly disabled.

Options: misc: Misc in the config area.

[Supersprynt]

The thing with the horsepower is that it replaces certain parts, so you can N/A or turbo on certain cars but not both on the same car.

Huh? You either have forced induction or you dont. N/A is non turbo, so if you buy a turbo car, you cant do an N/A tune, cuz its F/I.

i still have a major beef with the AI's inability to drive like theyre racing... not like they are playing follow the leader... but its still fun and definatly amazing... i think i may have to go get the PS2 high def cables now

[Ale_lock]

I hate you all until I can get my own copy.
Btw who ever asked about unlocking cars in arcade, I read that you'll unlock the cars when you start unlocking them in GT mode.

Im not a fan of the steering. I think its pretty crappy, like if you remove the gas, your car doesn't turn..

so you can make money by just watching??

[Tweek]

sorry supersprynt, I'm not explaining that well.

Yes, you can get money just for watching. Get a good car and race with the b-spec (the option to the right of starting the race) then just tell the driver to go fast and overtake. He'll do the racing for you while you go for a smoke. Then come back and you'll have a couple grand (depending on what you raced and how well the guy did racing for you) It's kinda a cheap way to play, but the upside is that you can do that on races that you do not a the license to race yourself.

i have no interest in ps2....

however i have a psp preordered (along with dw, tm, and rengoku) which is getting its own version of gt4 (graphics are almost as good but better yet can we say widescreen?)

its called liftoff-understeer. though i do think the game overpronounces it, its much more accurate than most racing games.

Despite never driving in AutoX or any of that, I found this effect to be a lot more realistic. It felt RIGHT somehow

(and yeah, you can pretty much just make money by watching)

[saleeka]

ok, here are my beefs-

Is it just me or does it seem in every race one car is way ahead of the pack, and much harder to beat then the rest of the field?

the physics are much more realistic, and in turn, you have to want to get good at this game... makes friends of mine way less inapt to play, and to a degree, myself... i dont want to have to play the same track 3 times to finaly win against that 1 super good car

what are the points used for?

Shid- I still havent been able to defeat the autosave... if you remove your mem. card and try to either buy or switch vehicles, it wont let you drive them...

most of the cool tracks have to be earned in Arade mode- And how i dont know

i cant STAND the layout of the menu system...

ehh... the more I play the less im thrilled so far... i just want that damn lancia stratos, lol...

[Digndoug]

ok, i didnt read anything... but my buddie got gt4 tonight and it didnt work... what a pos......... I dunno what it was, but every other game he had worked...

[Sev408]

ok, here are my beefs-

Is it just me or does it seem in every race one car is way ahead of the pack, and much harder to beat then the rest of the field?

ok on that i know what you mean. out of 5 races 2 i couldnt win because of that one car. so buy something for horsepower and you will win i would have to go back and beat that 1 car.

what are the points used for?

bragging rights, they mean nothing. and in a race that say u use a 100 hp car against other 100 hp cars you will get more points then using a 300 hp car.

most of the cool tracks have to be earned in Arade mode- And how i dont know 

um after races wheni return to the map it tells me i have unlocked maps. Im 15% through and unlocked almost 75% of the arcade race courses. just need to get the rally races and im done, with that.

[Tweek]

I got a beef with this game too! I am trying this supercar competition and it says only production cars. So I race with my vanquish, and am blown away by the cadilac cien. So I was like ok, I'll just use my cien, and it tells me I can't use that car because its not a production model car. THats messed up, if your gonna beat me with that car, you gotta let me use it if I have it also.

[Mynzeyes]

i played it over at my brother's place...meh. i'm not impressed to be quite honest...after playing it as his place, i'm definately not spending 50 bucks on it anytime soon...

this reminds me of Halo2, and what i heard about it...seemed like it was hyped up, but wasn't as magnificent as everyone expected.
