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

[Sjenk]

Hmm, the Peugeot 905 only has 512 BHP :/ Expected more to be honest

 

[LaBounti]

Amar, you may be missing a new car. Its a new Hyundia ,something type-R Its a small hatch back race car.

mukai, is that Andy from Fatel fury/KOF?

The true figure will only be revealed once the car is in the garage. For example, the Toyota 88C-V has a listing of 800 horses in the dealer/arcade selection screen, yet the car appears in your garage with over around 920 without an oil change. I think that we will find that the Pug will be making over 700.

ALL PAL games have slight borders, even the ones considered full screen. If you compare them to their NTSC twins, you'll notice it. They are nothing like the abominal creations Squaresoft delivers to PAL users with each of their release, but they're there.

Nothing to worry about IMO.

Over here in the Netherlands a crazy guy went into this one office building and took everyone hostage because he was pissed off that companies make wide screen tv's so he'd see black bars on the screen. Eventually he killed himself while leaving the hostages unharmed. Funny part about the story is that he meant to take the people in the Philips building as hostages, which was the building NEXT TO the one he went into.

is it just m or does te other spirra carlook ike the new noble from the front and have they fixed the game so you can race all the cars like the caterham

 

[magneticman]

hmmmn, this seems suspect, as i had heard that the PAL version was optimised and would display without borders, and saw everywhere that HDTV was a definite, it doesn't matter if you have a PAL or NTSC TV, if that's on japanese and american copies it should be on PAL too....

You can race the Caterham…just not in all events/modes.

I heard somewhere that there will be a reduction of Japanese used cars and an increase of European used cars, is there any sign that this is true?

 

[Toyota 88C-V]

That would be a refreshing change.

Unfortunatelly, no sign of it. Used car section is still being overwhelmed with Japanese cars.

Few slight updates in the first thread. Have to go to sleep now, tommorow is a working day.

As today was phuckn Valentine's Day my girl has took my about an hour of priceless time - fact I have a game did not intrested her at all as it was like "...but you already said you got GT4. What is PAL? What kind of difference is in?....". And as I prefer having girl between GT4 sessions more then not having it at all, some time had to go.

So, just 14 licences golden in "B", tomorrow morning first photos and later first report about prize-cars and so.

 

[Sambert]

Thanks again for the info Amar. I do not desire to delay your “loving,” yet it would be greatly appreciated if you could quote the arcade race/time-trial Pferdestärke figures for the new PAL vehicles. This would allow us to begin making some projections.

Hmm, where will the newies fit in…
Nissan R92CP 952
Sauber C9 940
Nissan R89C 921
Toyota 88C-V 919
Pescarolo C60 '04 805
Mazda 787b 802
Pescarolo C60 '03 800
Nissan R390 800

Not a problem, but what do you expect me to do exactlly? To unlock the new cars (LM models as I can see from your list are Must) and then quote a PS figures from the Arcade menu?

Not a problem, but you should wait like a... month? .

As I do not have a much free time in my life, I got to play game in small portions of time. I have an Asian game from 31st Dec, and I'm still at 24% of the game - and trust me, I've been playing it in any spare time. But, I'll do my best, no problem.

Ha. edited, anyway. The same happend to me 3 years ago were me and my girl would take um intermissions while playing Baulders Gate Dark Alliance. I'm guessing you did not check for that extra Hyundi yet .

When we got the first moving Pictures from GT 4 (it must have been years ago !!!), when we got the first driveable Demo, when we had to find out, how to remove the time limit of the Einser-Demo and also when we had to remove the time-Limit in the Falken Demo, there was always Amar !!!

When my times didn´t improve anymore i just had to watch one of his movies and i found some mistakes in my driving line.

And now he is the first one to deliver really hard facts of the Pal-Version !

I just wanted to say a big "THANK YOU" for leading so many Hardcore-GT4-Fans through the last months !!!

Your efforts are really amazing and giving you the time to bring up news into this forum, we should also say the same big "THANK YOU" to your Girl !!!!

So when the 9th of march comes up i won´t be posting here for some time, but until then: Please keep up posting !

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!

Amar, as you would know from the NTSC/J version, the arcade race screen provides the real power figures for the AI opponents. Simply dial up a race with a powerful car, select your level so that the new vehicles appear in the race, then record the figures for the Jag, Chap and Pug.

Logical. Consider it done in next few days.

 

[cobragt]

I remember reading about spoilers can be added to the front of the car, is that true?

 

[AdrenalineSRX]

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 Maybe NTSC & PAL will be the same?

CMON CMON!

 

[MoparSRT10]

There's a pic, on your second link, showing "Hyundai Verna Rally car"... turns out it's the Accent WRC.

 

[Ubiquitous]

Great info, pity it's 9th March release for PAL though..

Delighted that 2P Garage Battles appear to be confirmed, the one big problem I had is no longer a problem... Echellente!

 

[The359]

Also notice that Lexus is listed under American manufacturers in the Korean version. Lexus isn't available in the Japanese or Chinese versions.

 

[Oliver]

There are only some wings you can add on your cars trunk, no front spoilers.

You can buy Chrysler 300C Hemi from Chrysler dealer.

 

[cobragt]

that 300c has to be in the us version of gt4

 

[LaBounti]

Also notice that Lexus is listed under American manufacturers in the Korean version. Lexus isn't available in the Japanese or Chinese versions.

But there are 2 Lexus cars. the Is300 Wagon/ Altezza Gita As300 and SC430 and Soare 430scvr are the exact same cars. They may just get re-badged like Opel/ Vaxhaul. But im 100% sure you knew that

 

[RacingFreak2k3]

that 300c has to be in the us version of gt4

Yeah we better get the 300c. Pretty sweet lookin car IMO, though not sure how well it will compete in GT4.

 

[Gen.]

Wait.. If he got a nearly finished copy(Or Full...) Why is the release date so far away for PAL users.. T_T

Is this true???

 

[The359]

Because his copy is probably still a bit buggy.
