Re: OT:GT4 Review

I'm looking forward to damage :) but I have noticed the sparks in Gt4, the sparks even hang about in the air, would like to see more smoke, and a little less tyre squeal lol

Sold it to me! My problem is finding the time to play it, along with the PES4 I just bought for the PC, but I'll get it anyway...!

I'm gonna do it again, right now...

Dan did you get that toyota Special car? have you tried using it yet, it sounds like a plane, might be interesting to see how fast that is.

When trying the Nurburg, have you noticed how much concentration it takes, and the speed you need to go, without traction control it would be impossible, but the speeds I was travelling at nearly 200mph on the straights was damn right scary

I have the TC turned down to 2. Car drives nicer like that. TC slows me down out of the corners too much.

Took a photo if anyone needs proof?

Could be time to setup a website for fastest times in stock cars :)

Awesome game...

Basically with the PS2 you've got a stable base - you learn to squeeze every last ounce of power. The PC is in a constant state of flux with so many configs and people just don't bother - just throw in a fast processor or whatever....

If you get chance try taking the AC cobra round - it's just a little tricky. :D

It'll get plaqued by the action replay cheats. I used to submit times on a website for GT2 ages ago and initially it was fun but then new names with highly dubious times started getting posted.

bloatware - that's the beauty of having a fixed ability platform - it gets programmers to actually tweak and optimize code, easy for me to say but you have to wonder if a PS2 can do that, what a top spec PC *should* be capable of.

The site is in progress :)

I will filter the hackers hehe

Just had to have a go after reading this - 350Z LM concept race car (soft race tyres, 85kg ballast, TC=2) - n'ring 6'52.116 on the second lap - did a few grass tracking excursions and the odd amco sculpture so i know i can shave a good 5 maybe even 10 seconds off that with more time but not likely to get any now till tomoz. I especially like how the car swaps ends if I brake too hard from high speed into a corner. God it's a bumpy circuit. :)

i did the ring on PGR2 in the ferrari enzo and lost it at 205mph, it got pretty messy after that, same with the porsche GT2 hehe

is GT4 online? i love speeding round the ring on PGR2 on x box live with a load of other nutters that don't realise how slow you and easy you need to take that first slight s bend hehe :)

New site is up, we now need to get some MOD's and some input of cars + courses in arcade mode of course

Rules are being made up as we speak, haha and yeah made up being the key word lol,

So I need Cars +_ tracks from you ps2 owners, then we need to get members :)

I want pics to justify times, cam phones will do, no cheating and admins decision is final, dan is going to help mod it, and the more the merrier, im sure the vauxhall boys will be up for it, and the bmw etc, I will create 1 track + car per group

My 6:47, i went off i think, 4 times, including an awesome smash at the end of the long straight.

The sparks and little gouts of flame are superb!

But it took them five? six? years to get the PS2 to this level. So figure on five years after the PS3 is released.

You know - nuts to the concept that PS2 graphics are inferior to the Xbox... at this juncture of course.

Xbox is a stripped down PC, PS2 is a stripped down Silicon Graphics Workstation...

It shows.
