GT4:P Hits UK Shelfs!!

[gt3freak_2001]

Well I got off my arse and decided to pre-order Prologue and now I feel much better. Can't wait till its released.

 

[Race Idiot]

I totally just ordered it off amazon.

So now i'll have two copies.

 

[BMWz]

Send me one then

 

[Tedehur]

I ordered one copy from Fnac.com for 39 €. I don't know if they ship outside France and Belgium though.

 

[_kamikazefly_]

MUAHAHAHAHAH. i cant believe ive found it for fifteen quid. 54 cars. better graphics, better physics, cant wait for delivery

 

[ZEE]

This is the release date, off of GAME UK website, they are pretty accurate:

- 28-May-2004-

[BMWz]

[_kamikazefly_]

local game shop, im still waitin for delivery
the place is gonna close down soon so ive ordered it before it shuts. that was the best game shop that was.

Bit concerned after the news I heard today.

I went into Game to pre-order this game. I had heard that copies were "limited" but thought it probably some marketing hype.

They advised that they would be sold on a strictly first come first serve basis and that each branch of game would only be allocated one or two copies!!!

I mentioned it could be pre-ordered online from places such as Amazon and was advised that although these places will accept orders it is unlikely that the majority of them will be able to fulfill them!!!!

 

[Mediaman]

It is a 'limited' game (Sony doesn't want to effect the sales of GT4 'proper' buy there still being copies of 'prologue' laying around), but Sony have said they will only produce enough disks to for all the pre-orders and not much else. The guy is probably right in that each branch will only get one or two 'shelf copies' in addition to any pre-orders.

 

[Caligula1]

The point is though that Game won't accept Pre-orders!!!!

I Pre-ordered mine last week in my local Town Center Game store, does this mean I am unlikely to get it, and I should go elsewhere?

hmmm.same news i haerd, so u better be quick. if u dont get a chance, ur best bet is EBAY, i went there for mere curosity and found a few imported copies. so good luck

Lets hope the UK release now allows you to use the right analogue stick for acceleration / braking ( you couldnt use it in the Japanese release.... )

reely .
i know it must effect some people. but i very much doubt that it wount be there. i think they know that people enjoy that option, therefore they will allow it on every copy. but i tend to use L1 AND L2 for accelerator and brakes. better throttle control

hmmm before i got my copy. i asked some guy at my local GAME store. he instantly said the it was s**t. saying that the cars feel too wooden.

1) If you enjoy taking the licence tests in previous games - then you'll love this!!!

2) If you weren't bothered about the tests - then these are much more interesting than previously, they include overtaking tests and racing tests - I love them, but could take-them-or-leave-them in previous versions!

3) This 'Game' worker maybe a 'GT' nut but it depends on what you like/dislike about the series - if you hate the tests and just want to race - then you could be disapointed by prologue. But if you have a serious attempt at trying to learn what the tests are teaching you - you will become a better GT driver (even if you thought you were pretty good anyway) and will get a lot more out of the 'arcade' section of the game.

I utterly disagree, and besides, I don't like GAME anyway. They charge too much when there's a sale on let alone normal prices. There only redeeming feature is the '3 for £20" deals. But they're not that special.

It looks like the new Maserati GT which is based on the Ferrari Enzo 👍 or a Zonda????

 

[toler]

<- my Av´ is a Ferrari Aurea GT - from a series of concept cars

If he says the cars feel too 'wooden' then it sounds like he has no idea what a car drives like.

Short of full blown sims like GPL or GTR, Prologue has a very well balance handling model.

A bit wooden sounds like the sort of comment that may be made by someone who prefers driving games with an arcade bias to the handling. Now there is nothing wrong with that, its just not the target audience for GT.

Get Prologue (but not from GAME) and judge it for yourself, then come back here and let us know what you think.

 

[Polyphony001]

get it online, yeah, save yourself £7. For s lot of people that's an entire hour's work!!

I don't really pay attention to peeps at GAME, even when they are talking to me. Call me rude, but i think it's rude to rip people off. "lowest price guarantee", some kind of sense of humour, eh?
