HOLY CRAP!!! You are insane, that must have taken forever!

Jayridesacove · Apr 27, 2005

Wow, I'm still at 33.7%, then again I stopped playing like a month ago.

.:Jeenyus:. · Apr 27, 2005

How can you leave just .2% uncompleted? That would drive me insane.

Then again I would never get past the 2nd level...

Forza Motorsport for Xbox comes out on May 3rd, just played the demo. As a diehard Gran Turismo fan I can honestly say that the driving dynamics of Forza kick the crap out of GT4. Contact with other cars and walls is not nearly so forgiving, and gravel traps slow you down quite a bit more. Your car also incurs damage. It also has all the sweet cars that GT4 doesnt, namely ferrari and a much better selection of porsches. Graphics wise it is a bit of a toss up, but again I'd have to give Forza the edge for having better shadows and reflections. Also, the low in car view in Forza gives a better impression of speed than GT4, I think because the track stays sharper. Definately buying it, and probably wont play GT4 ever again after I do.

math2014 · Apr 27, 2005

Will this forza thing be on ps2 as well?

TheInedibleHulk · Apr 27, 2005

No, Xbox only. Another reason why it is better :thumb:

binary visions · Apr 27, 2005

Holy crap, that's a lot of work represented there.

I'd probably play for a week straight just to get that last .2% though

Is that the curve of a steering wheel in the bottom of the photo? I would LOVE to get a steering/pedal system for GT..drooooools

steve45 · Apr 27, 2005

christ, i got to 68.9% and i havnt really touched it since, just missions, manufacturer races, the lemans 24hours races, and Formula gran turismo series.
ever since i got GTR FIA racing for the PC i just havnt got the urge to play GT4, the handling physics attention to detail and reality of GTR is just mind blowing, and the sounds are just so amazngly accurate, if you've been in a car with a straight cut box you will know that whine it recreates it so well, and the engine tones etc just add so much to the game, its so much fun especially with my steering wheel and pedals.
but i just wish someone would make some sort of rally mod for GTR the realism is so insane, i'd love to hammer the col di turini in the quattro S1 with all the realism and detail that GTR gives you.
i swear the first time i put the game on, the hairs on my arms and neck were on end, and the adrenaline was pumping, the only other game thats had that effect on my was Richard Burns Rally.

anyway sorry i'm getting a bit off topic here.
congrats on the percentage, oh and the aspec points are truely commendable, i take my hat off to you, thats something i dont think i'll achieve any time soon if ever.

Zark · Apr 27, 2005

56.8% And its getting harder. My garage is good for 2 player battle now and thats where the real fun is

math2014 · Apr 27, 2005

55% here,

BTW, whats the best rally game for PS2? Richard burns? WRC4 or CMR2005? I like simulation style not arcade style, and career play with upgrades etc is more than wellcome.

That FIA GTR game, will it run on a laptop with 1.7ghz P4m , 64mb Ati 7500 Radeon and 512mb DDR 266mhz?

simulation rally game, there isnt anythig better than Richard Burns rally, but be warned, ITS BLOODY DIFFICULT!!!! :mumble: i have broken may things in frustration with that game!!! its is just relentlessly uncomprimisingly difficult, a tiny bit more throttle through the corner than it needs and you'll be upsidedown in the nearest ditch, twitch the steering wheel the wrong way "Mr Grill, this is Mr Tree".
but this is exactly why i like it, there is an element of concequence.
just keep all throwable objects out of reach and for the love of god, remember that punching a wall hurts a hell of a lot.
i have never plyed a better rally game though.
it has a season mode, it dosnt have any upgrading system but you do have full control over the car settings.
cars are pretty limited(one of the only things that let it down), but its not really about that, its more about the driving.

CMR05 is great game with a large selection of great cars(its biggest attribute), from all through rally history, but it just dosnt have the same sense of reality as RBR, the handling physics are pretty odd, and rather basic, i'd say its in between an aracde and sim game, its great fun though, if you just want to pick up and play then its great but if you truely are a sim fan you will feel slightly disappointed by the way the cars handle.

WRC04, only played a demo, wasnt too impressed.

GTR should play on your laptop, maybe not on full graphical setting but it should play, i run it with all graphical setting on full
my comp is
1.9mhz P4, 128mb ati radeon 9600pro, 384(or something around that)mb ram etc.

Minimum specs are
1.2mhz
384mb ram
DX8.1 compatible 32mb graphics card
1gb hard drive space

Jeremy R · Apr 27, 2005

I did the same thing on GT3.
I had 99%, and said screw it.
You would think, oh, If I got that far, I would have to finish, but once you try a couple of things over and over, you realize that it is just impossible.

allsk8sno · Apr 27, 2005

damn an i thought my superliscense was an accomplishment...(in gt3) of course i have never owned a gamesystem so this is playing on my friends...but i never got the top races...got my super and quit, (moved away from roommate)
damn time sink for sure...i wish i could play gt4 but... my grades are better

What happens when you win? PS2 start giving off a burning smell? Congrats.

Changleen · May 31, 2005

Toshi said:
thanks. 100% gets you a lovely black formula car, and completion of missions 30-34 netted the Nissan R92CP i think.

Which is the 'best' car?

stevew · May 31, 2005

If they had a controller like this maybe I would play it.

math2014 · May 31, 2005

I think the best non-F1 car and best imho even than the F1 car , is the Audi R8 and the Bentley Speed8 .

If you try WRC4 on Ps2 you will see how poor the rally section in GT4 is... WRC4 is by FAR the BEST rally sim on Ps2, and on PC for that matter.

Also notable for F1 is the F1 2004 for Ps2... great handling.

math2014 · May 31, 2005

By great handling i mean something that looks convincing to me... much better than colin mcrae and much better than GT4 off road and onroad (rally though)

I!!!! WANT!!!! ONE!!!!!!!!!!

-dustin · Jul 26, 2005

i just rented GT4......god, this game is so addicting. i won't mention how many hours i've played today.

ahh cars :heart: . driving mission 34 may cause you to pull your hair out...

Only that one? The formula grand tourismo series is driving me nuts! So fuggin hard! :mumble:

I'm at 82% and don't think I'll get past 85% I still love it though :heart:

golgiaparatus · Jul 27, 2005

Totally addicted to Forza here. The damn game has everything. Total customization of any car... complete modification from high parts or completely new engines from other car types (example: Porsche Boxter engine swap a twin turbo 911 engine or imagine a lexus IS with a small block V8) to roll bars and body modifications. You can tune everything to, camber, toe, height, pressure, compression and rebound dampening, differerntial ratios and lock, downforce (with the right body effects), individual tranny gears... oh and complete custom paint jobs. You can race cars in different classes D, C, B, A, S, GT, & R and there are also other specialty races like races for heavy cars, light cars, horsepower ratings, vettes vs vipers, WRX vs EVO.

The graphics are tight, the driving is very realistic, accurate to 0-60 times, braking, cornering, etc.

W3rd!!! I'm addicted too!! luv that game!!

B-Spec is badass. i didn't discover it until last night.

Toshi said:
ok, formula gt was difficult, especially the annoying tracks like hong kong. but it's definitely beatable, even on b-spec if you use proper strategy and qualify ("practice") out at the front of the field.

have you played Grand Prix Legends for pc?? specially the 1965 season mod???
that game is good enough to justify getting a pc and a forcefeedback wheel....

online racing is pretty cool...
racing those 1000lbs 400hp cars on skinny hard tires on the nurburgring and jumping in the back straight is pretty neat..

i´ve read GTR is very good too.. but i havent played it yet. i havent seen it for sale here.
Live for speed is nice, and the online racing is among the finest... it has a free demo that works online...

in my opinion GTR is one of the greatest drivng games ever, the physics are nothing short of amazing, getting a driving force pro next week cant wait to drive the MK1 escort with that daddy of a steering wheel.
if you are a racing sim fan then GTR is a must, YOU HAVE TO GET THAT GAME!!!!!
it is avalible in the US.

as for live for speed, is there a single player mode? i've been tempted to buy it but if it is purely online i aint gonna bother, i want to be able to practice on my own on an empty track without having to crete my own online race and locking it out to other users.

looking forward to Rfactor, just hope my machine will run it.

Tyman · Jul 27, 2005

holy crap u play it too much!!!! i played it too much and then it got boring and i havent played it for a really long time.... i bought it the day it came out too.
