LOS ANGELES, May 11, 2004 –Sony Computer Entertainment America announced today further details regarding new game modes and features for the upcoming worldwide
November 2004 release of Gran Turismo™4, developed exclusively for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. Following in the footsteps of the PlayStation 2 “Greatest Hit,”
Gran Turismo 3 A-spec, and a racing franchise that has sold more than 35 million units worldwide, Gran Turismo 4 continues to deliver authentic racing gameplay with new fully enhanced features that focus on new gameplay physics encompassing more than 500 cars, up to 100 courses and unique original modes, including robust online gameplay via the Network Adaptor (Ethernet/modem) (for PlayStation®2).

New features at the Electronic Entertainment Expo will extend above and beyond just pure automotive racing, providing a unique destination for automotive and PlayStation 2 enthusiasts to enjoy car culture in every dimension – extending that goal will be highlighted through the new “GT Photo Mode,” and the highly anticipated “GT Online Mode.” In addition, enhanced popular features will return with “GT Career Simulation Mode” and “GT Arcade Mode” demonstrating more than 100 cars playable on eight unique courses at the show.
“With the extensive amount of detail and realism that is sure to provide hours of endless entertainment, Gran Turismo 4 further extends the franchise to new heights, serving as a true pioneer in providing sophisticated videogame technology that showcases the best of both the automotive and videogame industries,” said Ami Blaire, director, product marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America. “At E3, show attendees will get a glimpse of the many new features and enhancements that not only demonstrate a new standard for the genre, but will continue to build momentum for its upcoming November release. With its broad appeal and strong entertainment value, we believe that Gran Turismo 4 should be a staple in every gamer’s PlayStation 2 software library.”

Yep. it\'s been put back. The Prologue edition should be out end of may/june though. I already got the Japanese version of this. :D

I thought they said they were going to make the crowd polygon modeled

YES... YES... YES !!!! The Nürburgring (Nordschleife) will be in !!! There are so many Games with the (New) Grand Prix Course in it, but now the legend will be raceable !!!
I LOVE THIS GAME !!! I once drove on the "Ring" and it was GREAT !!! You can drive on it for 20-30 Euros and that with your streetcar or bike ! It just rocks !!!
(Sorry for all the "!") :D
-
Konami\'s new racing sim also has the track so we\'ll be getting some double loving of Nürburgring within the next year :D
-
That video is amazing. The driver models are awe striking. The cars dont flip backwards on jumps and even the instrument paneling is almost perfect. I try not to think about it because i want it damnit!
The only thing that i hope they clean up is the soundtrack selection. I hear that both the Euro and Japanese soundtracks were better than the American version. That and sometimes the music was hard to hear.
The music in gt1&2 were decent. "Paranoid" by garbage was always good (and then that silly ass song where the guy repeats "super bon bon" or some crap like that). S#!t, even "my favorite game" (the cardigans i believe).
This is one game that i really wish i could put my own music to. Hopefully PD can come up with something nice.

This photo mode is getting me real worked up. I think its one of the best things they could have ever done. To have the PS2 render out images of your fav cars in whatever location you want, its just brilliant. I just wish it would let you render out to an even larger res. Imagine printing out poster sized renders of your own real life car. That would rock.
If you look at the photo mode wall shrine pic closely, alot of the pics are from actual tracks. There seems to be a very orange looking autumn track and something that looks like The Big Ben. Maybe a London race track? This game is going to rock.
I just wish they\'d confirm something about weather. I don\'t care about variable weather, but a snowy track or a new wet track would be good. Its gotta be included, they can\'t have in GT3 and not in GT4.
