Did you not play it in the first 5 months you originally had it?

You're buying GT2 off eBay? Good luck. Hopefully you won't get a version 1.0 or 1.1 copy...both of these can be heavily buggy. Black screens, game freezes, etc. This happened to me: I bought my copy of GT2 off eBay and the loser sent me a version 1.0, but at the time I had no idea why my game kept freezing & :censored:ing up.

If the game you're getting is Greatest Hits (aka Version 1.2) don't worry, you won't have any immediate problems.

forget

isn't that only the US version?

 

[Dave A]

No the greatest hit's is a 1.2.

 

[Parnelli Bone]

Yes, you are correct; versions 1.0 and 1.1 were NTSC...by the time PAL came out for Europe, Polyphony had most of the bugs worked out. But since IH8GWB is buying this game from eBay!, chances are the game could be an early NTSC, therefore it could be buggy.

I have version 1.0. I only have problems when I save after some test tracks, Remedy! Don't save after the test tracks and no more problems!!!

You're lucky, then. I'm telling you...I had serious probs with my 1.0. I didn't actually learn what the hell was going on till I visited some websites and read about all the bugs. I mean, I would be right in the middle of a race and the entire screen would freeze! If anyone has a choice, go with a Greatest Hits or Pal version.

 

[HYBRIDLVR]

I did learn the hard way that you must have a back up copy of your game save, If you don't save the Speed test tracks you should be fine.

no it's a PAL

Cool. You should be safe...just make sure it's not scratched or anything.

is the cars steering ment to be very senstive?

Not sure what you mean. I've never done a comparison but I don't think GT2 is significantly more or less sensitive than GT1 so far as steering goes (uh oh...here comes a myriad of tests from our friend Sucahyo!). Did you get your GT2 yet?

 

[IH8GWB]

yeah got it yesterday & the car steering is very sensitve(using DS2 on PS2) just a tap & the car sways very wildly

I never noticed. My immediate first thing I noticed in GT2 after playing GT1 was that manual transmissions shift a lot more realistically. In GT1, when you shift gears manually, the transmissions behaves like an automatic, but I never noticed any difference with steering. What car were you driving?

any

a quick light tap at 80Km/h(50 MPH) will sent you in a 45+ degree angle

Do you use original Sony DS2 controller? since I have same problem when playing GT4 using faked controller. Maybe you should try using DS1 controller.

PAL version has twice as much bounce as NTSC 1.2 version. For spring rate I usually use half my NTSC one.

thats because we use KG/M, you use FT/LB

You didn't answer my question...what car are you driving? Or do you notice this trait (sensitve steering) with all cars in GT2? Also, are you using analog or d-pad?
