I'm not sure if im the only one who notices this but I think almost if not every japaneese game comes to america later than it is released in japan, and why am I an idiot for thinking that 50 skylines is too much? I'm sorry that i think that about 10-15% of the cars in a given video game are all the same car. I mean christ if disk space was an issue dump 5-10 skylines and put in 5-10 OTHER cars. I dont care if they would be Japanese, euro, or USA. As long as they werent another 10 versions of the exact same model. Put in another supra or 3000gt, just something other than a friggin skyline. I think its safe to say that even if I loved skylines, I would rather have 10 less in favor of other DIFFERENT cars.
So it's unacceptable for a company not to travel thousands of miles, and spend a month studying and taking pictures/recording other cars, when they can turn out twice as many cars, with half the cost, in their homeland?
Face it, While they are all the same Line of car, they ARE different skylines. I guaruntee you if you were to look at the properties for each different model, they are not identicle.
I mean jeebus, they have made sacrifices for this game, that would have otherwise resulted in PROFITS. Yet people are still upset about delays etc?
I for one am pleased that the game isn't merely being pushed out in order to make a quick buck on the name, that the time was taken to turn out a quality product...but maybe that's just me as a pleased and educated consumer.

Upon further research, it was the Zetec engine that was produced in Brazil starting in 2000, not the Focus (although, as you know, the Zetec is still found in North American Focuses) ...Swift
The Focus is made in one of several factories across the world (USA, Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Spain, Germany, and Russia) ...

I'll agree with some of that, mainly about the sacrifices and such (although they are going to make a killing anyway), but i doubt the skylines are so varied that from model to model that it merits for each to be in the game. I'm sure some of them maybe most of them are different from eachother, but i still won't accept that it is needed for their to be 50 of them. Partially because im not a big fan of them in the games, but mainly becuase 50 is an absurd amount of the same car.
Its not like... the corvette where the models included in GT4 are drastically different in spec and appearance.(i hate to beat the dead horse with a stick but its a good example.)
I guess me continuing to complain is kind of fruitless and we should just agree to disagree on this one. I guess if it helps the series make money which hopefully (still doubtful) will allow them to put more time+money into future games I'm okay with it, but you have to agree that it would be better to have a few less of the same car to include different cars currently not in the game.

i'd have to say 50 skyline is a bit too much....
heck, i'm a huge mercedes fan and i still think putting all of SL500,55,600, and 65 is a bit excessive....
i guess they just do it to pump up the numbers... w/ a new tag some tweak in numbers, you get a new car... why wouldn't they do it?

Glad to be your buddy!
These things jumped right out at me. I don't even like Vettes that much; I'm just pointing out how ignorant you sound ranting about "inferior technology" on the Vette. People are on here comparing the Z06 to a Ferrari. Sure, it's no Ferrari, but pointing out a few features on a $30K Evo doesn't make the Vette inferior. Someone could just as easily rant about the Evo not having a titanium exhaust and valves. Does that make it inferior?
Also, I'm really impressed that you think pointing out the strong points of a Vette makes someone the "defender of a giant corporation." I hope you don't have any Microsoft products, or I'll expect you to consequently admit your desire to fellate Bill Gates. Besides, YOU'RE the one talking about a Mitsubishi Evo. MITSUBISHI! Do you know what a zaibatsu is? Mitsubishi is so much of a monopoly that they were dismantled during the US occupation of Japan, and they still have several individual companies that would be considered monopolies. They own Japan's largest bank, Nippon Oil, Nikon, Mitsubishi Chemical, paper mills, and massive pharmaceutical, steel, glass, electronics, insurance, real estate and nuclear power companies.

You're missing the point. Nobody is saying simply that there are too many Skylines and the game should have fewer cars. Having 50 Skylines is a real letdown for all but the hardest of hardcore Skyline fanboys. Everybody hears that the game has 700 cars and they're excited, and then they realize the truth that there is much less variety than the number implies.
As for the 2nd statement... huh?

I agree. When they say there are going to be over 400+ cars, i'm excited. Then i look at the list of cars, and my heart drops.
400- 25skylines - 20 rx7s- 25 civics - 10 NSX's - so on and so on, until really, there are actually only about 200 chasis in the game.................................BOOOOO!!!!!
BadBatsuMaru
No, it's not a let down. For "the hardest of hardcore" or anyone else.
50 Skylines, they are all different, and while you may not notice it, I promise others can. So you're telling me that, the 500 other cars (assuming there's roughly around 100 skylines, lancers, and NSX's together) is still not enough variety for you? Come on now, who are you REALLY kidding?
My point is, and I'm not missing it, is that no matter what is in the game, if ONE car that YOU or ANYONE else wants, is NOT in it, then you will automatically resort to complain about another car that has more models, period. It has nothing to do with how many of THOSE cars are in, it's because somehow you feel that THOSE cars are what PREVENTED you from seeing what you wanted to see in the game. Period.
As for my second statement, it refers to people comparing Japense and AMerican cars. It's stupid. The japanese market is extremely different, and they have no need for highpowered cars like we have Vets, Camaros, Mustangs, etc. Sure they build cars with that potential, but rarely do they come out of the factory like that. In japan you don't go down huge straightaways at highspeeds a lot, people are more concerned with fuel efficiency, hence their car production usually yeilds low power efficient cars.
Zardoz
exactly lol
I'm even amazed to see there are European (crappy cars) like the Citroens and such... must be because of their presence in rallying maybe...
don't forget this is a Japanese game and 1st of all they make games for themselves not the rest of the world....as an European I am already happy enough witht he few american cars they listed because most of them I have never seen in real
so I'm happy to finallly be able to drive Mustangs and such 
If you don't know the Japanese show Best Motoring International maybe you should try watch some of them because Gran Turismo is definitely a video game version of it actually most of the tuner cars and real tracks in GT series are constantly featured in this show Tsukuba,Fuji and the Spoon FIT,MIne's skyline,etc...
I talk about best motoring because it's one of the reasons GT exists...
at least one show each month in Japan not talking about all the others about tuning and drifting most of the Japanese car owners who live close to a track go on it, their suspension set-up is stiffer than the exported models because more Japanese than other customers use their cars on tracks all of this make them love THEIR cars and know them better than anyone and just my guess better than most US or Europeans know their own cars actually...
I would suggest not to complain because they could well reduce the car numbers in GT5 I think they alrady did int between the 1 and 2 ..or am I mistaken ?
edit:
oh and BTW I'm REALLY happy they didn't trash the Ford Focus RS which I own, it was in GT conept tokyo-geneva because the car was a limited production, is not sold anymore and well isn't quite up to other cars performance in GT4.
I think the fact it was imported in Japan and someone having a Ford GT
must have helped lolGood point man... it was late and i was cranky... Just FYI... I don't use MS products. I prefer virus-free computing. (no i do noy fellate Linus nor Jobs, either. swine) I was never comparing the Vette to a ferrari. And I know 'bout Mitsu... it all sounded so cogent when i wrote it. I was referring to Porsche then, but my writing was clearly not on point, and it came off as a pro mitsu jam.BadBatsuMaru
I think the Vette and the Evo are a little too plasticky. That's all. Last words from me. Make mine a Volvo or a BMW or a Porsche. Sorry for being a codescending prick or whatever, lets bring this back to what's in the NA release, not whats out?

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but can anyone confirm that all the speculation of the US version having the same updates as the PAL version is true? I'd search, but I've gotta do my homework.
Yes! First post!

Too many posts to read, but here, the NA GT4 website has been updated, the list is available in .pdf and the ultraflo supra isn't in it. So it wasn't fake to begin with then.
