Hi all,

I am so stoked since wednesday... this game is the epitome of racedriving in a video game form. Beeing a pc-sworn gamer for many years, i cannot stop thinking how much better this game is drive-wise in comparison with anything else i ve came across so far...

So anyone else playing GT4 at the moment?

yup, i'm absolutley loving it, bloody amazing, cant put it down.
they improved the handling physics so much, especially on the off road surfaces.
i'm working my way to getting all of the 80's rally cars in the game.
great selection of cars, although they did miss out some cars that i really did expect to be in the game considering there popularity.
some really fun new modes, especially the photos, both phototravel and the ability to take them from replays, i've spet tons of time playng about with photos.
massive selection of widly varied music.

so what have you guys been driving?
heres a few of my now vast selection of cars.

what i started with, an ancient 2nd hand toyota celica.

Boston....outside of it....
My bf has been playing the Japanese version of GT4 since it has been available, so he has a lot of cars....(I have no idea how many)

But this is his gem (from his newly acquired American GT4):



and THIS is his real life car:

I'm so hooked & I don't have a PS2 (yet). I played a 99 lap race trading off the controller yesterday. 3 hours to finish the race, yikes.

The all american championship sucks bigtime!

Tried it with the following cars : Saleen S7 900hp, Viper STR10 1050hp, Ford GT 850hp, and i couldnt win any race. I had to buy a Viper Team Oreca 600hp, and guess what, it smoked all of the above cars! So after so much pain and $$$ i win the tournament and i get as a gift a crappy convertible from the 54s .

Hint. The all japan championship gives you a Nissan Z LM version that is worth 320.000$. So if you want fast-ish cash... give this tournament a few goes on director's mode.

Street cars dont beat race cars, it's that simple.

How do you win the black ones?
check the 2nd hand car lots on days 694-700, you'll need about 8-9million credits o get all four cars, that price may be just for the pal version, i dont know if the credits system is the same as the US version.

Well is not that you can't do it, but recovery is tougher and you can't ride the wall quite as fast as before. DO NOT try it with an open wheel vehicle, doesn't work too hot ;)

Personally I hated that about GT3. How realistic is riding a wall at 120mph and not loosing any speed? rolleyes: Maybe its cause JustJames slaughtered me with his little cheater moves;)

mmm, i just started playing gt4 today. did it fresh at first, went through a few beginner series and got mostly silvers (with a couple of bronze and a few golds) on the A and B license tests. and then decided to start again, transferring my gt3 licenses and credits and kicking some tail in the beginner leagues with my shiny viper. heh :D

do i need a usb thumbdrive to transfer pics from the ps2 to the computer?

i won the F1 race with the GT ONE car. just made the transmission accel MUCH faster. that and other mods. but barely won. then won the GT F1 car after that freakin 24hour race, good thing there 3 of them...i finished all the endurance races finally. yes, mostly using B(itch)-spec mode. but damn, you get some cool cars from those races. the Roadster one SUCKED. i did that like 50times.....
do have to say i hat the F1 car, i'd sell it, but don't need money now... also i'm only at like 32% and i beat the endurance, pro, beginner, most the missions, and dealer races, only like 4 rally races. what the hell am i missing? i should atleast be like 50-60% done
