Woa... this is such an old thread... forgot it even existed...

So how many of you guys even still play GT3? My friend and I have been trying to unlock it 100 % lately... It's kinda hard.

You bet i'm still playing GT3.. i'm about 90+ percent completed.... just last week i finished all the arcade mode races... man.. what a chore... and there's no prize for the races.... just a gold... but it's all for the elusive 100 right?

Anywho, moving on, YellowMaranello i would probably have to agree with you about the 4 discs... it's a tad bit over the top. Maybe 2 discs would be better . I just said 4 discs because GT3 was toned down from GT2 because of the space alloted for arcade, cars, tracks, tuning, etc... They (polyphony digital and sony) knew how much space they were working with, and their time pressure to get the game out, but in reality if they waited 3 months longer (i know i coudn't have waited 3 months more hehe... ) a second disc would have probably been added (just like GT2) and more cars would have been added as well. It's been stated by programmers and graphic designers @ polyphony digital that it take on average 1 week to make a complete car (which is between 5000 = 10000 polygons depending on the shape of the car... if i'm not mistaken) Lets say polyD has 5 car designers... in about 1 month (4 weeks) they could crank out (1 car / week x 4 weeks x 5 designers) = 20 more cars. Those twenty could have been DTM, JGTC, hot rods, classics.. .anything.. but that's going back to the past.. and i prefer not to dwell on that...

Finally if the GT4 was to be the ultimate game... they would make it an arcade machine... and i would buy that... definitely!

On a final point... or non-point, how did you get your name Grendel.. .what's your inspiration for the name... did you read Beowulf?

Although I don't play GT3 except once in a blue moon now, I will still buy GT4 b/c it's just a game that you have to own no matter how often you play it. Here's what I would like to see:
Ferrari F355,360,F40,F50 and a must IMO the Enzo.
Lamborghini Diablo, Murcielago, and Gallardo
Both superchargers and Turbo charger
Definately no auto-replay
A more variety of tracks, not the same track with a differnt layout.
Well this a few things I think should be added.

more manufacturers... Lamborghini (hopefully at least 10 cars) Ferrari (10-20 cars) Mclaren (all F1 models!!!) Bugatti (why not..)

More tracks - reality based tracks, and some really unrealistic ones!!! mountain road tracks, like in the NFS series. Drag racing 1/4mile.. 2 player a must in this!

More car midifications - Visual body work also.. blowoff valves, NOS etc... maybe some of these should be not allowed in certain races, for obvious reasons... but in open races!! would be cool to have a race and ignite the NOS to win the race, but obviously not for most 'official' races, because thats not real life.

Car damage.. PLEASE! and physics in the damage, like NFS:PU at the moment you can complete corses like the high speed ring alot faster by riding the walls on the corners, thats stupid stuff.

Fuel refil - would be annoying, but kind of needed.. also custom fuel tanks... fit a smaller one to get a lighter car but run out of fuel faster obviously... a setup for shorter races... 3-15laps

More older concept cars - GT- 90, and if lambo are in the Cala...

More ability with modifications - Adding turbo to almost any car, but not allowing these 'crossover' cars in many races.... so you will need the money to buy one for NA and one for Turbo.

And yes.. if this all happens you will need the garage to allow many more cars.. 500? just many people would want modded and non modded versions of their fav cars.. even though you can disable the mods, body kits are different.

Yea, my senior year in high school, our english teacher had us read the "condensed" version of Beowulf... I thought it was a cool story

Any of you played the Sega GT game for Xbox yet? I tried it out a couple days ago and it feels like you arent even driving the cars...

The next Gran Turismo should at least have every car from all the GT series games and Sega GT games...that would be a pretty complete list of cars...

Same here man... i read it last semester... i'm a sophomore in high school right now...so yea..

Anywho.. to your other quote... my cousin has a XBOX that came with Sega GT2002 and the handling characteristics are very different from GT3. They techniques used are of couse the same, but the cars feel a lil heavy and slugish, but tire "grip" and engine performance is accuratly represented..... unlike in GT3 where engine performance seems a lil on the easy side (1000 hp cars should preform better than they do... R43's can do a quarter in like 8-9 w/ 1100+ hp.... that just my guess.. i don't really know if this is tru.. just sounds like it). One thing that i prefer more on Sega GT2002 is the graphics. The cars have between 15k and 20k polygons.. while GT3 is running @ 5-10k polygons (yet it was the best @ it time). Also the backgrounds [to many people this won't matter] are almost 3 times the quality of GT3 with around 500k polygons.... that's a whole lotta polys man... a WHOLE lotta polys....

Yea, the only thing I really liked about Sega GT was the graphics and the 240z

The only thing I really liked about Sega GT was the fact you can get old muscle cars.

I can think of a million improvements to GT3 that it is ridiculous. The game may be the best in its genre, but it can be ten times better. I'll make a list later... ...

BRING BACK THE BIRD VIEW!!!!

this is the single most annoying thing I hate about the game, that has not already been mentioned. well.. this and not being able to buy used cars anymore.

I hate having to either drive the in car view, or the close up rear.... which blocks the whole track from view. I prefer the far away shot, so I can see everything.

i sure hope gt4 will put used cars back in. i dont know bout anyone else. but i think the faster cars (not fastest car) was from the used line up in gt1 and gt2. i want to buy a 12,000 credit car and tune it to 500 or more hp. id like to see drag racing and more then 2 cars in the rally section. and i hated the idea of have the tires wear out in some of the races. i say either all the time my tires can wear out or not at all. adding a dyno would be a good idea and i do wanna see more fwd cars. and im constintly seeing fwd cars in even japan have well over 600 hp but never in the games that they produce. i sure hoe they add ponitac. but all in all ill buy it weither or not they do what i want. if i dont like it ill sell it.

if they have online support...
i'd like to be able to sell cars that i dont want anymore. also, they resale price should be more realistic. u buy a $1,000,000 car, never drive it and want to sell it and its value becomes $500,000 WTF is that?????????? the prices should also change according to mileage (decrease value) and things u added on like turbos (increase value). Tuning is definately a must. there's an import tuning revolution going on now that started with the fast and the furious and Sony cant deny that. i really want to be able to choose different wings, rims, rim sizes, paint jobs, decals, and i'll even go as far as headlights and tail lights. there should also be a variety of body kits. they gotta bring back used cars too. i really dont want to start off with a 80 bhp lupo (or whatever that POS was) again. i reminisce (SP?) the old '92 Supra Twin Turbo that i started out with in GT2. oo and one more... I WANT TO DRIVE A GODDAMN HONDA PRELUDE!!!!!!!

Re: Things that should be in the next GT...

Customisation like Need for speed underground would be perfect. I have loads of cars on GT3 I think, "just a nice spoiler and front bumper and that would be gorgeous." etc. Not to mention painting your cars and applying custom decals. Etc.

I would be VERY upset if they turned GT4 into Need For Speed Underground, or any other rice-fest.
