i still think arcade mode in gt3 is much better
arcade in gt3 was great, in gt4 its a shadow of its former self. if anything gt4 should have more features and be more enjoyable than gt3 but in my opinion its not
I disagree.
Also, contrary to your opinion, I have some reasons (that I will post) for why I feel as I do. 👍
1) The obvious: All Cars Are Availible In Arcade Mode. 👍
This is a great improvement over the rediculus arcade line-up of GT3.
2) The Tuning: All Cars May Be Tuned To + or - 20%hp And 10%kg and "top speed" adjustments make custom tranny arcade cars a reality.
"Quick Tune-Up" makes even matches out of so many cars that GT3's arcade mode (or any games arcade mode for that matter) could never keep up with the variety of possible even races. The "Top Speed" adjustment is not availible for all cars (such as normal street cars), but some street cars and all race cars have adjustable top speeds making it possible to do things that could have never been done in previous games.
3) The Race Settings: Far More Adjustable Than Any Previous Game.
In GT3 a 10 lap race with tire wear was only availible in a "secret" professional level. Now in GT4 we have total control over the number of laps, time limit, tire wear, and to a lesser extent, the AI line-up and difficulty.
4) The Tire Selection: Race Cars and Race Tires, Street Cars and Street Tires...
In GT3 we could only use the default racing medium tires (that was regardless of race type or game play mode within arcade). In GT4 the race cars can use any of the Racing tire types making it much more easy to do a time trial with the tires you want, then do a multi-lap race with the appropriate tires for the race length.
Likewise, in GT3 street cars couldn't use different tire types, but in GT4 street cars can use any street car tires (leaving the same options for race cars open to street cars as well).
In my opinion, the only place GT4 falls short of GT3 is with the Home Garage and the old Time Trials.
A personal data garage from GT mode would be excellent and a set of 10 Time Trials pre-made by PD would have given GT4's arcade mode the few things it is missing and inturn made it impossible to complain.
However, PD dropped the ball on those two items.
No big deal though...
Arcade Mode still delivers on a variety of levels and I enjoy it greatly.
So there you have it.
My opinion and actual reasons for that opinion.
