You are the most annoyingly negative prick I've come across in a long time, shut the **** up with your negative. You've had the online problems explained to you, if you can't accept it, forget it. And these two modes ie photo and b-spec did not delay the game, KY is still adding cars to it, and has been all year as well as tweaking the game engine. last year the game handled like a tweaked GT3, now it's all new and better. Thoes features have in no way replaced the online mode, which I may remind you for the umpteenth time, is still going ahead but at a later date when it's ready. You've made some bad comments in other threads too about people from different nationalities which I have to say is not wanted here by me or any of the other members. My final message to you, stop being so damn negative and stop trying to offend people or **** off.SaintKamus

I'm hoping B-Spec mode can be avoided in that there will be no B-spec only races to win a particular unbuyable car. It may be useful for endurances but for me GT is about the driving.

I like this idea, too. It could come in real handy if you need to go take a crap, or something. 👍yeti

BTW, I doubt it is a replacement for the online mode. I think it would have been in the game anyway.

Some people need to be butchered, chopped, mauled and owned . It's not going to be used much by myself I can tell you, but it come in handy for re-doing thoes endurance races when you keep getting the wrong prize car. It'll be, fasert car, B-Spec, game speed x4, and go.

The new mode "B-spec" is ""GT" which is not driven personally."
"GT" which will not be driven by itself if the words of the producer of "GURANTSURISUMO" (henceforth, GT) series, Mr. Kazunori Yamauchi, are borrowed". [ "]
A game is advanced looking at a replay scene. This is the new mode "B-spec" of "GT" series.
It becomes the greatest challenge since the first '97-year "GT" for " "GT."
In fact, I thought that the title "GT3 B-Spec" would be taken out for three months after "GT3 A-Spec" in fact at least at delay. However, it will be difficult and making at least three years and a half, if it does has been continued. It was able to be set to this "GT4" at last, and the new mode "B-Spec" was able to be carried.
"B-spec" is "GT4" which will not be personally driven if it says at a word.
I myself am the heavy user of "GT", so that at least annual thousands rounds are played. While playing, is it Japanese 気づいたん in ってこ which he wants to look at replay and is driven? carry out main, if it comes out, and it is and the thing "GT" performed only by replay will be made -- having considered in の is the beginning which makes this game -- " (Mr. Yamauchi)
Three kinds of the monitor which a play screen shows the situation of TV relay viewpoint, two or more car on-board camera viewpoints of each, and a race of "B-spec" of screens are changed, and it develops.
In a race monitoring screen, each car lap time in a race, a sector passage time, a time difference with many vehicles, the number of the circumference that carried out pit in can be grasped. A race situation is grasped by this race monitor, and directions are given to the machine driver which a player owns.
It roughly divides and the directions with which a player is given into a race are three. It becomes the "exaggerated TEIKU command" which directs that the runner before a "run pace command" carries out exaggerated TEIKU positively, and the "pit command" which issues directions of pit in for tire exchange or oil supply.
In addition, "an arrangement" which arranges each part, such as tire 選び, based on the course situation grasped by the prior test. There is a "pit menu" etc. which determines the choice of a tire and the amount of oil supply according to the pit in of a car. In this mode, it is said that this "arrangement" becomes important rather than the directions in a race.
Moreover, since this mode is equipped with the 倍速 function, ", for example, a 24-hour race, is enjoyed by 4X. A race finishes in 6 hours. It caught up with the former runner and became a match truly. How to play of making it 1X and directing a new command only at this moment" (Mr. Yamauchi) can be done.
The users who " "GT" sympathizes with the essence of a real-time driving simulator, and are expected TO いう面 more real more hard are also いらっしゃいます. (one side) the direction referred to as wanting to enjoy "GT" more casually -- about -- do you think that it comes a number? For such a user, there is "B-Spec" and it can say that field preparation is carried out. " (Mr. Yamauchi)
Although it was surprised also at the episode of having gone into the design from the time of "GT3" in す to the release, it is the prejudice mode "B-Spec" as RPG and a simulator. "GT4" is likely to become substantial contents as if neither an inclusion type of a car nor a course increased but every one new circle game was added.

Yeah, its really good how B-spec has opened up the game for so many more people other than hardcore fans, many of my friends think GT is boring, repetitive and has no real satisfaction, they are put of by the fact that all you do is race race race!.....but thats all changed now with all these other great modes......but hey! GT will always really be about the driving! 👍

It looks very likely that there will be more endurance events and longer endurances. A 24 hour endurance reference, even if only in theory keeps getting referenced over and over again. I would not doubt if regular race events are also increased in number of races and possibly number of laps. I would think that tires will last more then a few laps, I would hate to have to change tires every lap on the Germany track. It appears that we will be able to change differnt tire compounds when pitting, that would be great.

I agree with your points, live4speed. Kind of my concern is... well, I'm curious as to the fact that GT4's B-Spec Mode isn't a substitute for playing through the game getting 100%. Like with my copy of "NCAA Football 2004," you can only win rivalry trophies and get new pennants and other features by playing the game.
So people, if B-Spec Mode is seen as a way to complete GT4 without racing a single car or enduring the pressures of GT racing, do you think B-Spec would need some fine-tuning so that you can't complete the game all in B-Spec mode? Do you think this would present an unfair advantage? Come on, people! Hit me up with replies.

They would still have to do the license test which will be even more of them then in GT3. With all the new cars and tracks, I wonder how many will actually even attempt to complete and or gold all the licenses before doing their first race ? For me I will probably go ahead and race the first beginner race, just to see how game play compares to GT3. My guess is that there will be severall races or events in GT4 that can not be completed in B spec mode. For instance, drags and rally would not really require or have a need for B-spec mode. Time trials and other items of that nature most likely will not be done with B-spec mode either. I would think that some of the pro level events might not be able to be done in B-spec either.

From Zeros interview translation above and the online video translation on this board somewhere, In a video i have seen you can see at the pre race selection screen that just before you race you can select driving the car or b spec mode, it is my impression that this mode will be usuable throughout the entire game and yes you could most probably complete the game without actually driving a single race.
It is designed so that those without the patience or ability will be able to collect all the cars.
A big complaint against the GT series that comes from those players, unlike those here, who dont take there racing games as seriously, often complained previously that its was too Hard? (please!) to collect all the cars. Now that the game has probably increased in difficulty somewhat starting with the new physics, and potentially new AI (well see about that), in order to keep big game sales up PD have obviously included this mode to appease those ney sayers, and keep the market open to as big an audience as possible, quite how many people will buy a racing game just to manage each race though, is quite suspect.

Kaz has never worked on the idea of AI driver training mode ala Forza, Even rumours of that would have been the biggest news on the boards for ages, and it would probably be still in the games B spec mode now if he had.
The original GT TV Director mode he announced was primarily thought to have been, a mode where you would set up your car, then watch the AI drive for you viewing the race from the various cams.
Obviuosly rather dull sounding to most of us, and was dropped.
B spec mode, is now a slightly revised expansion on that original idea, in that you now get the option, not only to watch the AI drive for you but give some limited input into the way that they drive as you watch, and with the new pit stop feature work on the strategy.

Why did PD make this mode?
"Yamauchi explained that while playing the game he often found himself competing in races simply to get access to the replay afterwards. This led to a desire to create a new way to play while enjoying what many consider to be the finest replays in the racing genre."
Cheers,
MasterGT

My guess would be that you would be the one qualifying. Reason being is that, the articles and reports on the B-spec mention that the player will need to make sure that their car is set-up for the track etc. I am like most people not to sure about the B-spec mode, but can see plenty of times when it might come in handy. Here is a list of just a few times that I might use it.DRIFT4EVA
- For Endurance Events, when you just do not have the time
to drive the whole thing. - To try and win a certain car or car in certain color
- On series events, I might drive one track and then let
the A.I. drive tracks I do not really like, for instance 20
lap race on test course.
- Might let the A.I. drive if I feel like eating or have to do
some other mudane chore - Maybe the wife or kids want to use the TV, for those that have
it left the A.I. drive while you have the game in picture in picture
mode.
- Let the A.I. drive when you are tired or hands, fingers, neck
are hurting from playing GT4 hours on end durring the first few
months of having the game. 👍 - Let the A.I. drive while posting in these forums
- Have your friend, spouse or kids let A.I., drive while on arcade
2 player mode. Or heck, I supose you could possibly drive and
give the A.I. car orders using other controller. 👍

First off. Hats off to you live4speed. I said something to Saint Kamus in that GT4 not online thread. The **** part was, that he didn't reply to it. I was looking forward to owning him. I mean the thread had already turned into a circus.
Secondly. Regarding that "Blast a Dookie" comment. Imagine if you were doing an enduro and you had the urge to go do just that. Well I reckon that you should be able to change to B-Spec mode and go Nuke the Duke and then come back and change back to driving. That way you wouldn't have to pause everytime. Think of it as a Virtual Driver Change. Just rock on up to your pit and select B-Spec.
Damn!!! You basically beat me to some of those points. I'm not really bothered about the qualifying, solong as I win. But if I were to go to B-Spec mode, I'd rather let the AI do everything. I mean. You don't see Jeanne Todt (Ferrari F1 Team Boss) qualifying for Schumi.

Now, that "WTF? No GT4 is NOT online" thread is a memory. But staying with this topic, I think the B-Spec thing will be fun. It might also be fun like trying to come up with an exhibition race and just go at it. Perhaps this can also be made available for Arcade Mode. Imagine setting up a battle on the track and sitting back and enjoying the fight. Maybe you can choose your opposition as well. And don't you just love the new environments and more stylish interfaces? B-Spec should be a pretty nice feature. I'm not going to say it will be a hit, but it will certainly turn heads. It will turn heads like a girl so beautiful she can stop traffic and make hearts pound. And if you players and playerettes dig John M., you know how I feel about this deal.
I'm going to like this mode like I'm going to like Photo Mode. Do you?

I share your opinion.
B-spec is something like the management option is some other games (like FIFA, NHL, . . . ). It is a nice feature, which increases the overall value of a game, but nobody is forced to use it. I like the idea to run a team, test cars, let a (artificial) driver run the race and give him commands on how to run the race. It's just like teammanagers in real life do. I hope it works the way I want it to.
