Went out and bought a PS2 slim, component cable, and GT4 this past weekend. I didn't play GT4 all that much when it came out. I was graduating college and working long hours at the time so I have no clue how far along I was. I sold my original slim and copy of GT4 in 2010 and regretted it almost immediately so I'm glad I finally have it again. It's like a new game for me because I didn't really know the tracks well or how to drive at all then. I remember my first full lap of Nordschleife and think WTF is this.:lol: All I've done so far are Licenses up to International A and the first two missions. I don't think I even touches those the original go around. Still have a DFP from Prologue days but won't break it out unless ai absolutely have to.:)
 
I have a question - I recently noticed that my PS3 has had a 'Saved Game Utility (PS2)' section added. I've been tempted to revisit some of the old Gran Turismo games, including 3 and 4, which would have meant getting the old PS2 out from my parents' place. I was wondering if this utility could mean that I wouldn't need to though and whether I could actually play GT3 and GT4 on the PS3?
 
If you have PS3 Component cables, you can use them with your PS2. It's what I'm doing and I've never seen a game from 2005 look so great.

But anyway, I deleted my old save on the belief that GT2 and 3 would hold me forever, but after finding old replays on my MC, I decided to get back into the game. My old save's B-Spec Bob had over 7,000 B-Spec points (can't remember exact breakdown of points) but I found guides on getting to 10,000. Problem is, my Bob has a bit of a lead foot and I keep getting MOV's well above his exact specs. If I was to continue with the guide, I'd probably only have 6500 points or so, and I don't get the whole "racing x car at y track in Family Cup" thing. What's going on?
 
Last night i started my first Data on GT4. and coming from a person whose first GT career started in GT5, this is just a HUUUUUUGE set back lol No online bonuses. the cars you get are really good but only for like 5 races until you start getting into more serious events. and then there's the fact of all the new parts costing a lot of money.

It really makes me feel like I'm an actual Rookie racer.

But my memory of courses from GT5 really don't help some times since most tracks really don't look the same and i can't tell a left or right turn since a certain object isn't there or something I've never seen before is there and i don't know what it is.
 
-> I have a tiny question, what track is this?

^ I know its from a gymkhana/coffee break test, but I can't pin point which specific test it was...

:confused:
 
^ To be honest, I don't know...It looks like to belongs to GT4 or GT4P(?).
 
Possibly a layout for one of the Coffee Breaks? It could be the path that the 20 cones are layed out on in said Coffee Break.

Maybe it's like one of those Coffee break where you have to go through the track without hitting the cones.
EDIT: Like this

First guess would be that you've won the championship events as single races, you need to make sure you have finished any events (which offer a championship option) as a championship to complete them.

EDIT: Quick read though the FAQ's: Link Specifically point number 3.

Does anybody else have problems with the disc loading? sometimes mine acts like it's loading but then it says "disc could not be read". other days it works fine.

I've never experienced anything similar to this. I only have had the common "red clock". Try cleaning your disc with water and a little bit of soap (not grey one!). Works like a charm. I've revived many discs with that technique.

Does anyone know how many different colors there are for the F1 car?

I believe there's seven liveries - six for starting grid (every car looks different when you are racing in Formula GT) + the black one for achieving 100%.
 
There probably is a topic about Formula GT races, so go there for more tips. I've just won it by putting my B-Spec to do all the work. The driver was skilled enough and won the race easily.

If I'm not much mistaken: Ferrari, McLaren, Force India, Jordan/Renault, Jaguar, Stewart, Sauber, Williams, Spyker, PDI, "Stealth".

Which would translate to: Red, Grey, "Tri-color", Yellow, Green/Yellow, plain White, Blue, White w. Blue, Orange, White w. Purple, black.

Which again would mean a total of 11 different colours.

Speaking of which, I managed to make my PS2 load GT4 4 times yesterday! Normally, it would take months just for 1.
