GT4 PAL Hands On! 16th UPDATE: FINAL PAL UPDATE

[NIck_chap]

I know, but the AC and Shelby should sound the same and they don't in the Japanese version.

different exhaust maybe? There is a slight difference in outputs in the Japanese version....

 

[Darts]

ah ok thats a shame. What do you mean A spec to Bspec and that? do you mean you want to change during a race?

I mean in bioth ways, so not only A-spec to B-spec(cause then you could only do one stint or have to do the whole 24 hours) but also B-spec to A-spec(so you can change back to driving after a time, like in real life: they go to sleep and do another stint after 4 hours.

 

[vipersan]

amar: one question if I may? I thought the A-Spec to B-Spec change will be possible in PAL? Is it really? And saving during endurances? I mean, if you can skip from A-spec to B-spec, why couldn't you save then? If you find any answer to those, let us know, please.

`But is B-spec to a-spec also possible, else there still ain't real driver changes, just one change, unlike in Le mans where drivers do multiply stints in the 24 Hours? so can you go from a-spec to b-spec and from b-spec to a-spec? at any time, when your in the pits?

Yes, of course. I do hope that it is possible to change from A-spec to B-spec and back in pits anytime. Amar212, whn you find anything, info would be appreciated.

And that matter would bring another question up (it just popped in my head). How are the points calculated if you change? If you start a race and are offered (just example numbers) 100 A-spec points, but you do some B-spec driving in between, do you get 100 A-spec, or you get 50 A-spec and 50 B-spec, or you get points to spec at which you are at the finish, or what? Tnx for info!

I've just noticed they've replaced the words "silk cut" with coloured bars! Blasphemy! Protection from tabacco in a time jump?!

Mannnnnnnn I get myself suspended from school for 14 days and Im on holiday now aswell with loads of spare time yet I go back to school 2 days before the PAL release.

Ive only got 45 days left of school before i go on study leave so taking away fourteen days leaves me with 31 days of school left. My GCSEs are going down the drain. Luckily im already accepted into college and so my career as a plumber seems secure. Plumbers get £20 per hour in the UK and over.


For those asking what I did it went like this.

Me and 2 of my friends didnt get along too well if another group of people in our school. Then a friend of ours told us they said that we were nothing and dat they could beat us up anytime. So the next morning I met up with my 2 friends before school and waited for them to get off the school bus. Then as they got off (all 12 of them) we run over and just start throwing punches even though we were out numbered. We fought it out untill the other group stopped fighting and then we left. I didnt even get hit once but my other 2 friends did but overall only 1 of my guys had a black eye and every single 1 of them did. Thats why they didnt believe our story even though we were outnumbered and so we got suspended and they didnt. Some of you make think im exaggerating but its true we went in even though there was just 3 of us cause we have experience of fightin because our olders ( we are in a gang and our youlders are the older people from our gang) dont take any rubbish from any 1 and so will fight anytime. With quite a few of them having been stabbed. (Luckily in London you dont have to worry about getting shot unless you mess with drug dealers.

So heres a message for all of you. If you have the spirit and heart you can beat any 1 up as long as they are just the average person and not mike tyson. Oh and make sure that that average person doesnt have the same heart as you.

What a story, you must be proud. How old are you? And what kind of "gang" are you in?

second in from the left, bottom row, page 1, first post

I would personally congratulate Kaz and PD for the new save game system. I personally always found the save-buy-load method of car testing to be quite lame. Now PD forces us to make informed and intelligent choices before parting with our cash, making the game a closer form to reality, in that we can make mistakes. Buy a bad car, and your stuck with it, like life you can resell it and make a loss, or you can make the best of a bad job and try to work with what you have.

Well done PD, I am glad you are pushing the player to think and consider, before rushing into whatever car looks nicest.

Im 16. We are the sort of gang that dont look for trouble but if trouble comes we help each other and rid each other of that trouble. Some of the older boys push drugs some have been stabbed some have stabbed. Im not proud but its now my way of life untill we get older or are dead/in jail/bored/or wised up to what we are doing. Once we all have jobs we will be done all cruising about 60 man strong. But ofcourse the crew will never die as there are younger 1s always coming in.

 

[ewitspaul]

stay on topic, we don't want to hear about your "gang" stories, 22 pages is a lot of information enough to make us to get lost but you posting those stuff and get off the topic will eventually make this thread bigger and bigger without any details in it.

 

[MoparSRT10]

Do the older PS2's freeze up in game?...or right when you put the disk in? cause i have an early model... not sure the serial # on it....

But this concerns me.. if it happens in game... but if it's right at start up, it takes my Ps2 a couple tries to get newer games fired up.... I found it works if u set the Ps2 upright to load the game and clean the vent in the back and front out with a q-tip and some windex...

ewitspaul i cant argue with that.


Mopar I hae the same problem with both of my PS2s and it has been widely reported that PS2s start playing up about a year or so after purchase. Well this is in the UK anyway. Now to fix this you can either go find one of those back door shops that chip PS2s or just buy a new PS2. Maybe buy an XBox even with FORZA 💡

 

[Duke]

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have waited for this news FOR OVER HALF A YEAR (you maybe 1 year but I ain't)...............soooo...................****!!!!!!! I'm going like Now how about drag racing, don't wanna look over 17 pages????

Edit: already 21 pages

You know, it might not be 20-odd pages long if people didn't post stuff like this all the time. Did this add anything to the discussion besides a few inches of screen space?

[MoparSRT10]

Well the new PS2s overheat like crap my freind said who owns one... so im gonna stick with the old beast .... and tough it out... but if it doesn't fire up on like the tenth try i might have to get a new one....

Nobody asked. Nobody cares. If you must tell inane stories like this, at the very least do it in the right forum.

You've been put on warning already. This is your second and final warning. Your next offense of breaking the rules will be your last.

I never heard of something so stupid! im 18 i find people like you that think they are part of a gang, are one sandwich short of a hamper! I love one of your qoutes..."crew"..haha..been playing to much san andreas mate! Besides what has this got to do with PAL version of GT4?

PS. Being suspended is nothing to be proud of! 👎

 

[Rohanmalvea]

Those ppl who brag about reading 21 to 15 pages on this thread why dont u guys just go to the ur personal settings and set it to 100 post per page so u dont have to click to go the next page after every 5 post.

[akak]

In all seriousness has the 2 car drag racing been disscused if so is it in gt4 and does it function as it should, this has been bothering me for a while now

Is this the GT4 or GTA thread?

It's now the official GT(A)4 : Inane Gangbangers thread

Wow that is so cool! Mummy and Daddy shouldn't let you wander the streets.

On topic: Amar, asked earlier but you may have missed - Please advise whether you have found out whether the fuel guage bug has been fixed....i.e. when entering championship series in Japanese version the odometer on the cars would not clock up any mileage at the end of the series.

This is very important to me as I like to see the realistic mileage of each vehicle.

Many thanks for your wonderful thread Amar. Your time spent on this forum giving us new info helps keep us going in our desparate wait for the release of the game

Applauds!

 

[Duke]

OK, the big issue I see here with the AutoSave thing - and I've only read Amar's updates, not the rest of the thread - is the loss of the "save and reload" trick for choosing your prize car. Or is the roulette wheel a thing of the past, too?

 

[jammyozzy]

I heard (from Chaser fan I think) that the roulette wheel is gone, and now you just win the same car over and over again. 💡 👍

 

[GT Freak!]

It's now the official GT(A)4 : Inane Gangbangers thread

Right back on topic, is it known yet for the extra cars are in the used section? i would love to see more slow, cumbersome, rolling volvo's! 👍 Also what is the 1080i that everyone seems to be talking about when it comes to GT4? i am clueless!

 

[Caligula1]

Yup - think that's indeed the case. I'm in two minds about this; it's nice knowing that you don't have to worry about not getting the prize car you wanted, but the thrill of actually getting that much coveted "chance" prize car is now gone.

You get the same prize car no matter what, It may come in a different color but that's it! The Auto save feature is not a big deal, You can go and re-win any race and get the prize car over and over if you want, You only get one prize car for each Race anyway, The only one I see is different is the License tests where you get one for Bronze, Silver and Gold! Get Gold and receive all the prize cars right away, The Auto Save is not a big deal, I use it in the Japanese version and I like having the autosave Enabled!!!👍
