Have any of you got Gran Turismo 4 for the PS2.

I think of getting it and I need to know how good it is.

Everyone is saying that its got the best graphics.

It will be released 9th March 2005 in the UK.

Chances are if you just hold out that little bit after its release Sony are bound to release a demo of it with the official PS2 magazine...

Although I've loved the GT games, I still would rather wait to get a free try of the new one rather than shell out full price for it lol. I'm a little worried with this one that there's gonna be nothing new and that its 'just another sequel'. From what I've heard about those who've imported though its meant to be pretty sweet

[sonu27]

I've seen the graphics they looks REAL! Like photos.

[Doggie]

im disappointed, the cars are amazing, but you pay for it with badly pixelated tracks and scenary :\

GT4 Is now out in the UK!

Gran Turismo 4 breaks sales record for Playstation 2

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe announced today that first day sales of Gran Turismo 4 have broken the record for Playstation 2 in PAL territories. The single day sales have been impressive to say the least, shipping 3,182,535 units of the game. The game is also shipped with the new slimmer Playstation 2 model. In total so far, the Gran Turismo series has sold about 38 million units around the world.

"The reaction to Gran Turismo 4 from retailers across PAL territories has exceeded even our high expectations," said David Reeves, President, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. "This Day One number reflects the popularity and broad appeal of the series – not only with seasoned GT buyers but with driving fans, motoring enthusiasts and casual gamers alike. We expect Gran Turismo 4 to become the "must-have" title for anyone who owns a PlayStation 2 or anyone thinking about purchasing one."

it's a really good game, cars are mostly reals but tracks are pixelated (or that is what it is said...)

i won't buy it since i read that it won't run on all models of ps2. a lot of people is having this issue and sony replies to send their consoles and recive a new one (cost is 80€ and sony sucks!)

[sonu27]

Seriously you can send your PS2 and get a new one for free?

But it should work on my PS2 Slimline.

[HighDarkTemplar]

maybe this is a bit offtopic but yesterday was out the first bios to support DVD DL backup games (only for dms4).
yes, that means from now on you can play your backup DVD DL games from media or HD (including gt4!)

[sonu27]

So your say I could play a back-up of GT4 on my PSTwo? With a modification to the console?

I don't think it's off-topic. Thanks for letting me/us know.

I have GT4 and I think it's great. The roads are pixelated, but if you're doing what you're supposed to be doing, the scenery should be flying past you and you wouldn't notice

[lylo]

I tried GT4, but for me the GT series has lost it since 3, first of all they simply don't feel as fast as the original 2, and they've took the challenge aspect of it way too far with this one, it might sound stupid but some parts really are that difficult it takes the fun away, im talking mainly about the liscence tests here lol.

So what did I do, I picked up GT2 on the cheap the other day, came home, got my PS emulator launched and I am now back in racing bliss! I'm currently trying to get all golds on the A-Liscence test so that I get a Dodge Viper Concept Car. For now though, admire my S2000 that I won for getting the B liscence on all golds

I still can't get my S liscense. I hate the fact that off-road and on-road tests are both put into the general liscense tests; I can't drive offroad.

I honestly can't say if the new generation GTs are something less than the older GTs, because I've never played GT1 and only a demo for GT2. However, GT3 and 4 are two of my favorite games.

I don't really mind a loss of a sense of speed as long as it's realistic. GT4 is supposed to be a "driving simulator," and if one desires speed, one is probably better off with NFS or Burnout.

Actually, in terms of a challenge, the "traditional" racing path (where you use your own car) was increadibly easy. I just transferred my 100,000 credits from GT3, bought a nice Skyline, and I've never had to buy a new "main" car; I just kept winning cars and the prizes piled up, and some of those prizes were pretty sweet.

The license thing is gona p*** me off.

Cuz I ain't play any of the GT series.

Well the tracks are going to have to be pixelated since the ram will not be able to cope.

[lylo]

Nah, don't worry about the driving tests, the majority of them are fairly easy to get a bronze award, but for those hardcore few who demand that they get the best unlockable cars, you've GOT to go for the golds. And that my friend, is where people get p***ed off... I was playing through the A-Liscence on GT2 yesterday, and I swear down, you lot could've come over, got some popcorn and watch me get so p***ed off it'd be the funniest thing you ever saw.

Bronzes, I don't think you'll have too much trouble with, if you're feeling good go for the silvers, but don't bother with those golds unless you're :

A: In REAL need of some sweet sweet cars... Otherwise just buy em.
B: Mad
C: One hell of a persistent bugger
D: All of the above!

[sonu27]

Well I've got the game.

And nearly got all bronzes for my first licence (3 more teats to get the license).

On the 1st test I got GOLD!

Well I want all the cars, tracks, etc. unlocked in arcade mode.

How is that done?
