A lot of members here have visited the E3 event and I am wondering if anyone of you have seen clips of how the drifting mode is judged and played.

Who knows. I bet the game will take a bite out of the Kudos system in PGR, except that it will actually be drifting and will be a lot more fun and realistic.

GT4 is a professional-type racing game. And as I said in another thread, I'm glad PD wants to make a big deal out of drifting. My recommendations for tracks would be go-kart tracks, parking lots, or if they want to cater to "fan boys (and girls, even though I know only one girl on GTPlanet)," would be to have downhill battles. I don't think America has the style of roads like Japan does. Of course, maybe if they REALLY want to be like Initial D, they can have these 5 hairpin turns that were pretty tough. "Initial D" fans, remember an episode called "The Five Dangerous Hairpin Turns!" or something like that? So, yeah.
If drifting is in the game, I'd like to learn how to drift out a FWD car. Usually, you'll need RWD or 4WD because they are highly suspectible to slide out more than FWD.

Well yesterday I watched my first Drift Comp, wow its made me want GT4 even more. Nothing beats being there compared to watching footage. I just wonder how the game will be able to understand how well you really did as Judging drifting is about the style, speed, angle, presentation etc and nothing can match the the way a real human judges things. But I am sure KY will come up with something that doesn't seem to annoying. And yes I too want to try it with FWD cars because I have seen it done, you just need to have a wet course for FWD's to really get any kind of drifting in. I was also amazed at how many non-Japanese cars were in the competition. We had Holden Utes, Falcons, Geminis all in there competting with the likes of S15's, S14's, 180's, R33's, R30's, 1via's, AE86's etc.

Yeah it was the one at Mallala, and yes I can imagine how great it must be to actually be the one in the car or even doing the drifting yourself.

If you hadn't noticed, drifting is already in GT. Set up your car with the proper settings and go at it. I doubt there will be any tracks set up just for drifting like a parking lot or mountain pass, since that is not professional racing, if racing at all.
Odds are the drifting competition will take place on dedicated drift circuits. That is concluded by KY saying it would model the D1GP rules, where they run on autocross skidpans or dedicated circuits.
If any of you have seen best motoring (i watch it for the hilarity), they go to places like drift land, which is a maze of islands and tarmac that can be set up to make drift circuits. It's kinda like a gokart track.

It might be like the drifting competition in NFSU?
im thinking that perhaps the actual competition of it might be kept online. that way, you can actually battle against people, and be graded by actual real life judges who can actually judge upon skill and style. though the computer might be able to judge, it probably wont be able to judge nearly as well as real judges. perhaps the drift mode in the game is just different drift locations with tutorials and examples to teach you how to drift, and a place where you can also improve your drifting skills. Im probably wrong though, and the competition will probably be offline, but i like my idea better.

Umm yeah we already know that, drifting in GT3 wasn't properly implemented ie. there are no actual set events for drifting we are talking about a proper D1 Drifting Conpetition.

Umm KY said himself that drifting is going to be included and GT is not just about racing, its a driving game about cars. You may not like Drifting but dude is there any need to call it pathetic, how exactly is it pathetic anyway? You might as well call rally pathetic as that's where drifting gets its roots. It takes skill to drift properly and if that's pathetic then your meaning of pathetic is very unclear.
I don't care if they put drifting in GT4( I drift in GT3) but I don't won't it to be in Simulation mode because GT is racing not drifting, how many GT races have you seen where the drivers drift around the track, but I'm all for it in Arcade mode though where they can have a setup for tournys or something drifting
I also hope they don't change the game to drift like in NFSU the cars actions change completely from racing to the drift modes..In GT4 if you want to drift you should have to set your car up for it manuallly.

GT is not solely about racing, it's about the cars, and driving them. It doesn't matter if that means reacing in a GT series or drifitng in a D1 series your still driving. And they won't change thct PS2 physicss engine for the drifting mode. I keep getting the feeling IQ's are dropping at high velocity here, we cover a topic then we have to cover it again, and again and again ect each time new dumb comments (not aimed at anyone in particular, but you know who you are) are posted.
And drifting is a legitimate form of motorsport, ithas nothing to do with GT racing but neither does rally so deal with it.

I never said there wasn't going to be a 'drift' section in GT4. I really hope there isn't one, but I never denied it. I asked the question: "when was GT about drifting?" I can call drifting 'pathetic' anytime I want to, all day long. If you disagree with my opinion, than challenge it with a logical and mature response. This is how you have discussions.
I believe there is two definitions of 'drifting' that is being confused here.
Drifting as in shifting the weight of the car so that the rear wheels lose traction and force the car into a controlled slide. This is the literal definition. Since GT is a realistic simulation and is based on the laws of physics, includes drifting by default.
'Drifting' as in performing wild tricks and stunts using the vehicle's handbrake as a performance to spectators in a closed area, is the problem I speak of. Since it's not a professional form of motorsport, it is in my opinion that it should not be included in a game that is all about professional motorsport.
Hopefully, you can see the difference I pointed out and see the problem I have with 'drifting' and all of it's cheerleaders out there.

And now, for the negative, we have: any of a number of people about to tell you it's a legitimate, recognised, professional form of motorsport.
Second speaker for the affirmative reaffirms that it is not.
Second speaker for the negative continues their caseline contrary to that of the affirmative, each side making a grand total of 0 progress.
Look, it's a pattern!

Yes and that's exactly what I wanted, the exact reason why you think its pathetic. For your information it is a Professional form of Motorsport and the majority of good drifters do not use the handbrake they use the momentium of the car to get it to slide.
I never said you can't call it pathetic as that's your opinion but you gave no reason why you think it is pathetic so that's why I questioned you.
