Where was it? I was busy playing V8 Supercars 2 at the Holden stand.....in a BA of course. Then laughing as someone ran over to change it the moment I got up.

LUXO_8 · 07-03-2005, 09:06 PM

i didnt see it either...

unless its what they were running on the evo lancers

BA GT-HO · 07-03-2005, 09:41 PM

I played GT4 in Melbourne at the Grand Prix. They had a Playstation hooked up in a marquee. First thing I did was load up the Nurburgring and a stock Typhoon. HOLY JEEZUZ! Lets just say its way more realistic than GT3! The sense of speed is also spot on. The 'Ring is way more narrow than I expected. I turned TC off and yes the Typhoon does drift..

Can't wait!

Paris Hilton · 07-03-2005, 09:46 PM

I want a ute! grah...

needfordspeed · 07-03-2005, 10:00 PM

Look at that!!! What's the deal with those rims though :S

XKALBR · 07-03-2005, 10:03 PM

Do you lose control when you hit another car REALISTICLY? I'm sick of just bumping into other cars and being able to use them as brakes.

Dave_au · 07-03-2005, 10:07 PM

Whats really annoying is that the yanks have had this game for a few weeks now.

BA GT-HO · 07-03-2005, 10:18 PM

Psycho Chicken - I am unsure, I was just racing the track on my own. But I remember dropping a rear wheel on the grass under power and the car flicked around on my in an instant, so it was pretty realistic i suppose. The understeer is also pretty realistic. The graphics are just mad!

I have ordered my copy, a local shop has a deal, $299 for the 900 degree wheel and game. Bring on Thursday.

Psycho Chicken · 07-03-2005, 10:20 PM

Bring on Thursday and the long weekend!

TIKFD6 · 07-03-2005, 10:23 PM

I got a call today about my pre-order.
they said that the game will take up to 6K, on a memory card.
:O
Huge.

07-03-2005, 10:27 PM

I just purchased GT4 off ebay for $83 + $7 postage. In an answer today they state

Quote:

This game has been sent to us today and we expect them in the morning ready for dispatch.

Over the last 2 days I also picked up a new PS2 slimline for $182 + $25 postage, and a memory card for $20 + $7 postage...

look at all the money I saved, aren't I good... lol

:
Now to await it's arrival.

TIKFD6 · 07-03-2005, 10:34 PM

I got my copy from EB traded 3 games and paid $9.95
;)

Psycho Chicken · 07-03-2005, 10:40 PM

I had to laugh at EB, rip of bastards of the year.

They want $199 for a slimline PS2, you get a free copy of GT4. But you have to trade in your PS2 and one game, which I can only assume is something that has shelf value of at least $80 at the moment brand new.

Psycho Chicken · 07-03-2005, 10:41 PM

What games did you trade in Kerry? I was only willing to trade in The Getaway and MGS 2, but I'm guessing they wouldn't take them and $40 for GT4, so I just went elsewhere.

TIKFD6 · 07-03-2005, 11:03 PM

I cant remember what games they where mate.
but they came to about $11 each for a trade.
They will take any games not on the Excluded list.

LUXO_8 · 07-03-2005, 11:20 PM

i just had a look, heaps of slim ps2's on ebay for the 170 - 200 mark...... cheap!
might have to get me one soon

just don't get in a bidding war...pick your maximum price you'll pay including the postage and stick to it... I set an upper limit of $220, and ended up at $207 inc postage. This was after getting outbid on half a dozen or so others that ended well over 200...
thought I was going to be stuck with 2 of them saturday, 195 and 205 were my top bids and with minutes to go I was outbid on both..I got the next one 2 hours later...

[Martin] · 07-03-2005, 11:50 PM

I just want to know, if you flatshift in the FPV F6 Typhoon, does the clutch break?

Funny stuff, Just upgrade your clutch on the game and you should be fine

**Polyal** · 08-03-2005, 10:56 AM

Sorry bout the late reply..yeah GT4 is at the mitsubishi stand, I didn't have a long look but basically they loaded a rally track and you race an evo8, funnily enough :/

M14A-Mclaren · 08-03-2005, 11:12 AM

I seen an article in last weeks Connect Guide in about new microprocessors and they said about mid 2006 for the playstation 3 which will be running these new chips.

**Peuty** · 08-03-2005, 01:09 PM

Well I just recieved my copy of GT4, and all I can say is AWESOME. The graphics, the gamneplay, everything is spot on.
I am yet to fully get into it yet, cos i am still at work, but tonioght, here i come!
Incase you were wondering, I work at Retravision and scored myself an early release!

Conclusion: fuggin awesome!

Whats so good about them? Cause I'm just considering waiting for PS3 then buy it rather than get a PS2 and have it outdated in a year or so. Plus my mate said he's probably getting one so I'll just play it on his, lol.

Huge.

6K? As in way less then 1M on an 8M memory card? Or is it more like 6M and you'll need an almost empty memory card to save to?

Franky · 08-03-2005, 03:45 PM

Geez I hope it's not 6mb cause mine is full as it is ;)

I preordered a copy today so hopefully i get a call on thursday

Same here! Also, does anybody know if it can use the license tests from a GT3 save game so you don't have to re-do the really basic tests, just like GT2 did with the original GT save games?

Either way, I can see myself getting a new memory card JUST for GT4
