i know i've played all the GT's. with this one though, after i got it and was over the graphics i realized its really no different from GT3, there were like 500 cars in it but 75% of the new ones were useless, like model T's and stupid concepts like the nike car or little 40 hp mini cars. i ended up using most of the same cars i had in the last GT, i just wasn't all that impressed. you can't repackage an old game with new graphics and call it revolutionary. i was expecting 1/4 mile drag races and shit like that, plus not having the online play they promised made it very disappointing considering all the hype it got and how many times they pushed the release date back.



Polyphony's new game Tourist Trophy looks to be promising though:

Sony was so smart in taking it's time with PS3. I feel sorry for all the poor saps who dropped down $400 for 45 minutes of entertainment and a huge paperweight the rest of the time.

Good point. I enjoyed it though cuz collecting the cars is one of my main priorities in the GT games, but that's just me. Not only would i like to see more types of racing like drag but more race car cagegories like some IRL, IROC, drag, or even a few NASCAR would impress me. BTW, i find the nike car to be an excellent car on rally tracks.

actually this game might be very good because there are actually more than 8 cars going against each other in the ps3. I hope ps3's version of GT5 has tire marks and possible BOV sound choices, that would be neat. I think ANY GT series is going to be a long process, im only at 79.9% done with GT4.

the thing i hated about gran turismo was the lack of damage and tire marks

car makers dont want a game out there that has their cars all banged up
as for skid marks...well...it could add some realism to it

GT vision better have online play if it really wants to stand out during its debut. GT4 was a huge disappointment when online play was cancelled and replaced with a stupid photo mode ( i dont get it...)

I agree. I like the "driving simulator" that is gran turismo but you can go too far in terms of realism and in some aspects damage is included in that. I'm pretty sure it hasn't been ruled out however. I disagree with the "stupid photo mode" though. I don't mind it at all. It may just be a pointless extra feature but I take my gran turismo very seriously and having photos of my great runs is kinda cool.

I agree!

Anyone figure out how to play GT4 on LAN? I noticed they don't tell you anything on how to play over a LAN.

dont hold your breath for the ps3 this spring. You would have had an opportunity to preorder online by now. I'd expect it to come out in the fall at earliest.
