10 brand new scans. by me.

And since the chassis will wear down, making pretty sparks with low-rides wont be idea.

The Chassis will deteriorate due to mileage, not sure PD would squeeze in the amount of times you ground the car into the equasion.

 

[askia47]

we need translations! this is to good to ignore!
what im intrested in is the tuner cars. they seem to be a great deal more than previously thought.

 

[Sven]

Speaking of bottoming out, it would be nice to have a good scraping sound to accompany that...

 

[franz]

I just noticed that Amuse S2000 GT1 has 500hp out of inline4 2.3L engine
and the S2000 R1 = devil of mountain road

hheheheehe i can't wait!!!!! All the times i watched Best MOTORing videos and say the R1 i was like damn i want to drive that....well now my dream comes true.....sorta

 

[franz]

I didnt have much chance to watch Best Motoring
My car video collection goes to Video Option and Drift Heaven
so I only know a few time attack time car

even if GT4 doesn't have drift competition included
I will still be very happy to drift around these tuner cars at Tsukuba myself
oh idea! ... track day drift party ... AI practising drift with you

 

[Mr P510]

Is there anyone intrested in translating these pages.Looks like theres heaps of info there.

 

[Pontiac Le Mans]

Super Speedway or Motegi Ring?

In fact they are the same. Last year, I borrowed an American book on race tracks and discovered to my big surpise that there was an Oval in Motegi which was called SuperSpeedway in the book and had the same distance and the same design as the Superspeedway of GT3. The only thing they didn't model was the roadtrack (inside and outside the speedway.

 

[The359]

Also the scenery around Super Speedway in GT3 is not the same as Motegi.

 

[Pontiac Le Mans]

Also the scenery around Super Speedway in GT3 is not the same as Motegi.

Indeed. I suppose that for GT3 they didn't have an agreement with Motegi and that for copyright reasons they didn't call it Motegi and put in another scenery.

Remember Monaco isn't called Monaco in GT3 but Côte d'Azur. I suppose PD estimated the Grimaldi's wera already rich enough.

 

[KSaiyu]

I see the family cup is back in, if that isn't old news.

 

[Veki]

ON the 9th slide there is a picture in the top right with i guess the interface we will be working with. I see there are real circuits and original circuits? What do they mean by original? Like Gt 3 ,2 ,1 circuits or do they mean like life tracks, and if so would not that mean real circuits?

 

[supra_luva209]

^ Yea, its tracks like Trial Mountain and High Speed Ring

 

[KSaiyu]

Here's a translation of the 3rd page (the one with the mechanic at the bottom right). If you want me to translate any other part of that page which I didn't do here, let me know and I can try. I haven't had Japanese lessons in years, so things maybe wrong, I'll leave it up to Oosacker to correct.



In the My Home screen, the icons are - Garage, Photo album, Diary, Game system, Option, Trade, Save screen

Garage - 1000 car limit, can change car and sell here too.

Diary - Car dealings, license status, race results, etc are all recorded as play history.

Under the game system picture, the caption says if you load up a GT3 save you get 10 mil credits.

License (the GT4P info) - The maximum you can get from having a Prologue save is that you get all bronzes on license tests up until Domestic A (<-Still not sure on that). Coffee breaks don't count.

There is Domestic B, Domestic A, International B, Internation A and Super licenses.

GT auto - You can do the following: Oil change, car wash, Wheel shop, wing shop (rear wings). They say it is a good idea to change the oil on a newly bought used car and wash it. Under "wing shop" it says you can install a rear wing, and this can improve downforce.

Photo locations -

Fishmarket - Tokyo
Another one in Tokyo (maru no uchi)
Shibuya - Tokyo
Gion - Kyoto
Nanzenji - Kyoto (Probably by a temple)
Sagano - Kyoto
Another one in Japan

Beacon Hill - Boston
Brooklyn - NY
Grand Canyon
Las Vegas
Times Square - NY

San Marco - Venice
Another one in Venice.

Thanks KSaiyu 👍

 

[WhiteSW20]

The GTR LM road car is back.

also note the spoilers on the S2000 and the old Supra

 

[cobragt]

Could you try and translate this?

I would love to know what's being said next to that lotus backing firing pic and what is being said next to that pic of the tuning shop

 

[cobragt]

also note the spoilers on the S2000 and the old Supra

That s2000 is a amuse and that supra is just a normal supra with a wing.

On the one by the Lotus -

Just the other day, we found a new element. At the time of a downshift, a backfire was emitted from the muffler. From now on, will there be stronger ones?!

I'll do the other one in a bit - gotta look up quite a few kanji on that one.

I don't like the GT3 save thing so much. It was fine doing that with GTC to GT3 because GTC came out a fair bit later. But a GT3 save giving 10 MILLION in GT4???? Talk about a head start...That's way too much way too early for way too many people.

I like the Prologue advantage though. Enough to get you started and give you a worthwhile reward for playing Prologue, but it still makes you do a few of the tests to get used to the new physics.

 

[Jay]

I will still want to do the Domestic A license even though I get it from GT4.

 

[KSaiyu]

By the tuning screen:

There is a big change in the car tuning too, with the inclusion of body rigidity. During braking and/or cornering, the car's body is slightly distorted. There is a part that can be installed to the car to decrease this flexing. Also, long mileage causes deteriation in the body's rigidity.

About the 10 mil credits - remember this is for the Japanese version, so when it is localized, the value will be less.

-I'll try finishing off page 3 with the photo mode soon.

I don't know where you live but that's only 100,000 credits in the US. And now that we have the High Score system, that money doesn't really matter anyway.

 

[cobragt]

One more thing, could you tell me about this
http://members.home.nl/egghead/gt4/gtscan58ny.jpg
could you tell me about what's being said near the endurance hall pic?

 

[Jay]

edit.

My mistake.

 

[sumbodycool]

That would be cool if I started with 100,000 credits. But does it have to be any old save, or was there any word of something like 100% has to be complete? Because I started my GT3 over. If 100% is necessary, my friend better still have my GT3 save on his memory card

 

[KSaiyu]

One more thing, could you tell me about this
http://members.home.nl/egghead/gt4/gtscan58ny.jpg
could you tell me about what's being said near the endurance hall pic?

In blue - Category races.

The text - A hall where the event is prepared by the category of the races, such as Rally, Endurance, Power and Speed. Aim for the specialist (<-Don't get that??)

To the guy above, it doesn't say what's required from the GT3 save.

 

[ewitspaul]

even thou i have both, i wont use any of those saved files, i would like to start from brand new fresh start on gt4 starting from b license =) (whats the fun in buying whatever car you want from the beginning of the game)

 

[cobragt]

Thxs alot man

 

[JohnBM01]

You know, many of us haven't ported some kind of Prologue and played it. So for many of us, this is pretty new to us. If you ask me (I'm kind of expecting mixed reactions), I don't want to trade data from GT3 to GT4, and here's why. When I played GT2, I ported some of my GT1 data. I was exempt from some of the B and A license tests. And even though tests vary in the GT series, I still want to play them effectively so I can know what it is I'm supposed to do. You can't assume that just because we mastered tests from a past GT that we're all set for a new one. I suggest that when you're done with one GT's tests and you play another, treat it like a brand-new game. You can't trade Final Fantasy 7 data to play Final Fantasy 8, nor could you trade Final Fantasy X data to play Final Fantasy X-2 to get ahead. So why GT3 to GT4? Just play it like a brand-new game. No shame in starting from a clean slate, you dig?

I noticed a sort of "diary" with the translation. So, are we looking at something like "I raced my Pontiac GTO (old GTO) at High Speed Ring all to lose to a Daimler Motor Coach in an upset loss" or something? And one more thing. If you ride in a big-ass muscle car to be upsetted by a low-HP'ed machine, you need to be b*tchslapped !
