Just out of curiosity, Pak, WHY is the Falken so hard to drift in real-life? Seems to me it'd be pretty damn easy to break it loose, with all that power.

Yeah it'd be easy to break it loose, but controling it if it did break loose is another thing. :D
I said it a couple of times before, the car is setup for grip, unforgiving stiff suspension, rear diffuser etc.

If the tcs was off, I'm sure you could drift in the gtr.

Some powerslides and little drifts would be possible yes, but not at the slip angles you see in the video. Try the same thing in real life and you'll lose it at every try. He'd probably be better of if he steered INTO the corner :dopey: to induce understeer and wash the front-end out.

OH and can I say. I completely don't "get" photo mode. Neither how to use it nor why I would use it. Just seems sorta cheesy to me. It's cool it's in there for those who like it, but I'll be pissed it is one of the reason GT4 is being held up time after time.

B-Spec mode sounds cool though, I hope a demo surfaces with that in it.

I feel exactly the opposite. I can't wait to play with Photo Mode and it wouldn't bother me at all if it was behind the most recent delay. But the very thought of B-Spec mode pisses me off to no end.
 
Well I doubt I'll spend much time using either photomode or B-Spec, unless I can tell the AI to win the boring endurance races for me ;)

It's not like I was doing sustained drifts with it. All I did was tap the handbrake to throw it out, then opposite locked to bring it back in, and maybe hit the handbrake again to extend it. Locking up the rear wheels at those speeds will break ANY car loose. I was coasting through each drift, no throttle or brakes at all, more stable than normal sustained drifting. And when it was time to come out, I hit the gas and let the TCS do its job. More than once in the process of doing runs for that vid, the car bit back hard and snapped around on me.

are there any videos up of photomode? i wanna see it up and running, just to better understand the flexibility of it.

PhotoMode vid - Pretty comprehensive, but not quite totally.
 
Ok, here is the first scan. More in the next few hours.
Merc Mclaren SLR and daimler motor carriage. Not the tricycle.

Ha! Love the motor carriage :D It'll look funny as hell with the driver in a full race suit and helmet.

Why is the scan so small? Are you able to scan the Falcon?
Cheers.
 
Oo... Is that a manufacturer-specific race I see? :) Ain't seen those since GT2..

And am I reading that right? 250 million credits for the Daimler? Hopefully that'll be localized.. 2.5 million would be the "American" version of that. Still pretty expensive.
 
It's a collector car, lol!

Hey, I just noticed, if you let the background replay run itself out in the pre-race screen, You can actually see a full lap of Nürburgring, albeit obstructed by the grid list. But you can see the Karussell!

cool, might give that a try.
 
Thanks for the scans. From the Multi-LAN race text, I believe it says 8-player race? Well I can't read japanese, but I can read whatever is in chinese text (since japanese share some chinese characters)

Maybe it means 8 PS2's at once - 6 players and 2 spectators? I can't imagine 8 cars being possible.
 
Could somebody capable of reading this please make a translation?

I think it contains some very interesting information on LAN-races (with 8 people?) and 2-player-battles (with CPU opponents?).

Thanks!

For play the demo in a PAL ps2 (chipped of course) it's necessary a dual (NTSC / PAL) tv?

Or it's depends of the chip installed?


Thanks for your responses
 
Sorry if I this time I don't translate, but I think it would go beyond my limited capabilities (i.e. crappy translation).
The most interesting fact:

"Yamauchi confirmed the fact that up to 8 people can play simultaneously. Of course, there is possibility that you can play with an even greater number of people"

Also, in VS player races, it seems there's a "Quick Tune" option wich allows to easily power up your car.

I've been able to easily transcript the text (you can use babelfish or similar):

Multi LAN Race
LANケーブルを使ってPS2同士を接続し、ほかのプレイヤーと対戦する。複数のPS２とモニターが必要となるが、各プレイヤーが１つの画面を使用してクルマを操作できるため、バトルはいやがおうにもヒートアップするはず。山内氏の話では、８人まで同時バトルできることは確認しているのこと。もちろん、それ以上の人数でプレイすることができる可能性もある。詳細はザプレ本誌記事中にて紹介していこう。

友達の家に、PS2とモニターを持ち寄ってバトルを楽しむ。環境を整えるのは難しいが、人とのバトルは最高に楽しいぞ。

2Player Battle
こちらは、１台のモニターとPS2で友達とバトルを楽しむことができるモード。手軽度はマルチLAN対戦よりもはるかに高いが、画面を２分割しての対戦となるため臨場感はやや控えめ。実力に差がある場合は、使用するクルマを制限したり、クイックチューンでマシンの性能に差をつけたりして、レースを行うとよりアツイ対戦になるだろう。シングルレース（CPU戦）では味わえない、微妙な駆け引きをぜひ楽しんでほしい。

PS2とモニターが１台ずつあれば、すぐにでも始まれる。日頃の特訓の成果を、友達とのレースで見せつけるのだ！！
 
Thanks again Akira.

Using the Multi LAN RaceLAN cable, you connect PS2, oppose with the other prayer. Plural PS 2 and the monitor become necessary, but each prayer using one picture, because the car can be operated, as for the battle the expectation which heat is raised well even concave. In Yamanouchi's story, to 8 people you verify that the simultaneous battle it is possible, is. There is also a possibility with of course, playing at number of people above that finishing. At in the the pre- this journal article it probably will keep introducing details. In the house of the friend, gathering PS2 and the monitor, it enjoys the battle. It is difficult to arrange environment, but the battle of the person is pleasant highest. As for 2Player Battle this, the mode which can enjoy the friend and the battle with 1 monitor and PS2. It is easy, degree is much higher than multiple LAN opposition, but 2 dividing the picture, because it becomes opposition, the appearance impression it is quick and moderate. When there is a difference in capability, restricting the car which is used, acquiring difference to efficiency of the machine with ÉNÉCÉbÉNÉ`ÉÖÅ[Éì, when it does race/lace from, it probably becomes ÉAÉcÉC opposition. Single race/lace (CPU game) with you cannot taste, enjoying the delicate running pulling by all means, it is desired. If there is 1 each PS2 and the monitor, it can start even directly. The result of always intensive training, is exhibited with race/lace of the friend! !
 
In regards to the multiplayer mode with seperate TVs/PS, how do you hook up multiple PS2s without iLink?? This was taken out in the more recent model of PS2s and not found on the PStwo.

You use the network adapter, some cat 5 cable and a hub.

8 player! Woo hoo!

i-link was replaced by a LAN network, like the text said.

(this was not too much difficult... but it still sounds weird)

Single Race
You select the car you want to drive and the course you want to race, CPU cars will be partecipating at the race, too. After selecting your car, you tune the three grade difficulty of EASY, NORMAL, HARD for the battling cpu cars in the race setting screen. In race, the objective is to become first in the number of laps given, from the last place set at start.

[image]
Skilled and self-confidant people may seek challenge in race by adjusting the degree of difficulty. Opponent cars are fast!

Akira, with your ability to translate, it may be worth my while to scan the entire booklet tomorrow. (time permitting)
 
Pleasant drive with Quicktune

This is the new element of the series. Before starting a race you can easily tune your car.

[summary translation]

01 Power +- 20%
02 Weight +- 10%
03 Adjust Max speed. Only for racing cars. If you rise maximum speed, acceleration decreases.
04 Transmission MT or AT
05 Tire compound

Thanks!
But I don't know if I really can translate well long and complex text. The hard part is searching for the kanji/ideograms I don't know (I only know a few hundred kanji) and making sense of intricate japanese phrases. I can easily translate simple phrases, but for above normal and long ones, it's a long and time-consuming process.

same here, there'd be 8 cars in single player too, but fact is, there aren't maybe 2 spectators (or more possible, because they say "even more players")
