Gran Turismo 4

Who here has Gran Turismo 4? What do you think of it? I think its the best racing game out there and among the top video games ever made, I gotta say what a good game! Its far different from any other racing game, hence they call it a "driving simulator". If you have PS2 I strongly suggest you buy the game as I don't think you will be dissapointed. They didn't do too bad of a job in the Mercedes department with cars including:
190e 2.5 EVO II
CLK 55 AMG
SLK 230 Kompressor
SL 500
SL 55 AMG
SL 600
SL 65 AMG
SLR McLaren
E55 AMG
CLK Touring Car
300 SL Coupe
CL 600
AMG 190e Touring car

But what does all of this mean without some pictures?? Here are some screenshots I have taken.....
I'll post some more soon

too many loop holes in the game. some cars are too easy to win over and over. like the CLK GTR can be won in 10 minutes and sold for $700K.

i love the game. bought it the first day it came out, but i can't find enough time to play

It looks like a cool game!

I would love to get my hands on a CLK-GTR! I would get arrested in about an hour!


Was their a CLK DTM in it? I would kill for one of those monsters.

can anyone think of a video game that uses ferrari's name in it? there are no ferrari cars in GT4, and thats what i wanted to race the most...anyone know why there arent any?

but the rally racing pretty much makes up for the lack of ferraris...i built a nissan skyline that has 830hp and ive beaten all of them but about 3 of the hard ones....ive been playing it probably 3-4 nights a week since it came out and im only at 11% completion....most kick ass video game ive owned...just needs an F-40, an Enzo, a 355, and the car that was in ferris buellers day off

addicted to GT4. im taking a break from doing the 24 hrs of the nurburgring right now ( ) in the nissan silvia.


i wish it had a touch more realism;
making you pay to enter races
consumable parts
career mode
BETTER AI
and of course the one they took out (probably to make gran turismo a playstation 3 release game)

ONLINE RACING


that M3 GTR race car is a sweet sweet race car.

Yup, Need for Speed "Hot" Pursuit has several Ferraris . . . 360 Modena Convertable & Hard Top . . .

Ummm . .. but I agree that there are many auto makers that are mixing, despite the fact that there are 650 cars in the game. It's too bad that they dont have Porsche, instead they have "Ruf"

I would also like for them to add some type of 2 player "Fun mode" . . . where you and a buddy can just mess around by playing tag or whatever else.

But dont get me wrong, the game is Great!

ferrari and porsche have not licensed polyphony (the company that publishes the GT series) to use thier cars. even BMWs Mseries have been off limits till the recent game.
the holders of the licenses (EA, need for speed and someone else, maybe papyrus) want too much money and polyphony doesnt want to pay.
of course the inclusion of RUF wasa backhanded wayof getting porsches in the game sans the license fee.

also you can play against a buddy.

you cant use your garage cars to race, but you can use whatever cars you have unlocked in arcade mode. you might also to i link with up to six players, but you will need a hub, the cables, 6 PS2s, 6 copies of GT4 and 6 TVs.
im not sure how you would connect them on the new slimline PS2s, but on the old ones you just connected them (IEEE) on the front. i say "might" coz i dont know for sure about GT4, but we used to with GT3.

check out "gran turismo x dot net" for a more mature gt crowd (no spaces obviously) than the usual preteen noise. hit the forums, say hi, chill out

You actually can use your own cars in "two player battle" On the top it says 1 and 2 which stands for memory card 1 and 2. Just go there and it will display whatever cars are on that memory card.
One big thing that makes me mad is how they took away the full screen replay in two player battle. I had loads of fun racing my friends and competing for the replay at the end (replay focused on #1 position) but they took this feature away and the replay is split screen which looks retarded
And like neanderthal said, I'm sure not having Ferrari and Porsche is a licensing issue. Yeah, it would be cool to have those cars but isn't a major downfall of the game. And RUF makes up for Porsche.
GT5 will most likely have online (they better) and I've heard they might even have damage......

Thanks for the Reply on the BMW 2002 Turbo : )


BTW. . . DAMAGE is another thing I forgot to add to what I would like in the next version. It'd be nice if the makers could even go beyond simple sheet metal damage, and also include broken axels, wheels, FIRES! . . . that would be a riot!
