Why doesn't anyone have a copy of the NTSC version? It's supposed to be out in like a week but no news on it...weird :scared: Maybe NTSC & PAL will be the same? :bowdown:
 
Since we're not allowed to ask questions...

I wonder, to myself and with no relevance, whether the image flicker, so noticeable when the AI is controlling your car pre-race or player 2 nails it into a tree, has been removed. It has so blighted the NTSC/J for me. I wonder. Hmmm.
 
Hmmm, we have more than 12 extra cars then in the PAL version since we get the Proto motors Spirra too, nice :). Makes you wonder if theres a couple more (please give me an extra TVR, or two, or three).
 
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. :sly:


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.
 
Thanks for the early preview amar, looking forward to the a/b-spec update!

Also, is it possible to watch 2-player races on one screen (no split)?
 
one question: is there no option for German language? I suppose you meant Dutch with "Deutch" right? Maybe it says "Deutsch" (which means "German" in German :ill: ), but as the names are English, it would say "German" anyway.

Thanks!

Thanks alot for the updates, and putting all of the updates in the first post, makes room for discussion, and less of a chaotic thread. I hope the USA gets the same updates also.

New car, Volkswagen 2004 Golf R32(winner car of SEMA show 2005 - tuning car) - is represented trough new European tuner HPA Motorsports. Still have to see does that tuner tunes any other cars except Volkswagen.

European? HPA is from Vancouver, B.C.! :P They are specialized in VWs, but their website also features a drift focus... wagon. Their RSI New Beetle conversion would be great, but that's basically the same setup as the R32. I really hope this R32 will be in the NTCS version too. Here's a vid of the beast 👍

*cough*

Sorry, but HPA "only" is the Canadian divison of the German tuner HGP, which makes this Golf. Here's the HGP homepage: http://www.hgp-turbo.de/

As the HPA R32 and the HGP R32 are the same car, and the game refers to HPA, the info of a canadian tuner car is correct though. :sly:
 
Awesome info! Thanks a lot!

I got a couple of questions about the 2P mode. Other than the garage cars (which is most EXCELLENT that it's in) was there any other additions? Like maybe fuel as well as chanding tyre types in the pits?

Good work Amir!
 
Hy guys,as you can see i'm from Croatia (yey), so don't be mad if my english has a few glitches...
Thanks to amar, on croatian: amar hvala ti ko bratu
damn i still have to wait march 9.
 
US will probably have it, PAL doesn't because of the PAL TV's over here having a different number of lines to other TV's.

I thought that HGP were the suppliers of their turbo kits, but not HPA's headquarters... Are you sure they're owned by HGP?

No, you're right. HGP are the suppliers of the parts for the HPA R32, but HPA is an independent company. Sorry for that misinformation! :dunce:

Thanks for the info Amir. Looks like GT4 has had a fair bit of useful updates when compared to the Asian version which is good.
Just have to wait for the 9th of March and find somewhere to get a DFP. :)
