Confusing information

[Mustangmiha]

I was someday watching some GTP videos when I found out video about Gran Turismo 4 Prologue and it was played on Midfield Raceway, which don't exist on GT4P.(?) So I just want to know what is it and... nah, just watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6bll04tcMo&feature=channel_page

How come everyone is driving off-road? Thru guardrails and stuff?

You can see that the track is quite graphically glitchy. So I'd imagine - though I don't know of it myself, so this should in no way be construed as factual - that the track was on the disc in this form, but not included in the game. Creative hacking - ARMax, that kind of thing - has generated it in a playable form, much as you can hack out cars like the Diablo from the US GT3 disc despite not being in the game.

Yup. These thoughts crossed my mind.

But again I don't understand, is this some computer work? And these are all GT4P cars but track is from GT3, GTC or GT4?? This is really confusing, maybe is something from Kazunori Yamauchi work, heh, some early testing...

No, it's all GT4P. The track is present on the disc but not normally accessible as it isn't involved in the game. Someone has hacked it so that is is accessible.

At least that's what my impression is.
