Title: Picking up Gran Turismo 4 today.
Post by: GmanJoe on February 22, 2005, 05:03:16 AM
My wife will be very disappointed as my fingers will be on the controller and not on her. :D

Anyway...it\'s been a long time coming. I will make several pics of the Photo Mode and have them hanging in the Smithsonian museum. I will use my mad skillz I will acquire from this game and win the LeMans and 24hour Nurburgring this year.

NASCAR? No thanks. That\'s for the likes of mm and his family. :)

If your mom let\'s you, that is. Your family\'s motto "Incest! A game the whole family can play!"

I finished off Exodus for the 4th last month. Best game of the series, IMO.

I hate you all. I got it today and i have a paper to write, a test to study for, and my sister is using the big screen and i refuse to play it for the first time on anything else.

Life\'s a bitch.

On the other hand i did get to play it in a moving simulator with the new wheel at my auto show. Meh. I hate school.

The wheel was nothing. I was in a damn moving simulator playing a rally course. Remember how After Burner in the arcade moved? It was like that but in all directions - F ing crazy.

Anyway, i couldnt resist and i havent started any of my work - i feel so stupid. Damn GT4. So i have small 30 sec clips from my digi cam but i forgot that i dont have anywhere to upload them to. Ill try my emai (it worked once) but if anybody can host a couple for me i might be able to post them.

EDIT: One sad thing that i have to mention is that i think we are getting ripped on the soundtrack again - its not the greatest at all. Damn people trying to appeal to the "american mainstream."

Sigh* i almost want to mod my ps2 and get the japanese version.

dont get me wrong, the game is awesome so far but that damn soundtrack. I could have made a much greater compilation

*misses GT 1&2 soundtracks*

[lame]Ok i hate to triple post but i take back my comment on the music. While its not spectacular the list of tracks is huge. There are so many neat little differences in this game. I just had to clear up any doubts that the game wasnt that great.[/lame]

is lenny kravitz in the list?  despite one of my friends i can actually stand his music, bland as it may be

i\'ll wait till it comes out on ps3, I can\'t see how it\'s gonna be a whole lot different than GT3-Aspec at this point.

Apparently there\'s a way to fool the PS2 into playing online via USB port. I heard about this only so I can\'t say it\'s true.

Speaking of USB, you can use your USB drive (some call it jump drive or thumb drive) to import the pics you take in Photo Mode and upload it to your PC. Hopefully I\'ll have a few pics taken tonight. I have  2 gig USB drive. :D

That\'s what I heard. But weren\'t they also supposed to do GT3- Bspec?

That wasnt much confirmed and there was some delay before the PS2 became truelly online
Title: Picking up Gran Turismo 4 today.
Post by: Lord Nicon on February 25, 2005, 11:01:20 PM
Well this disk must be double layered or something. Its the only game that kills my ps2 but i have to have it. It clicks a lot before loading and i dont know why. *heres to hoping ps3 is backwards compatible*. Anyway, i keep on resetting my gt4 file because i didnt know what car to keep and if i should use my GT3 credits and a & b licenses.

EDIT: Unknown i might send you a video or two to upload for me. They are small and the quality isnt that great because they are off my digi cam.

*Bows* Thanks. I did shoot the video straight off the tv with my digital camera. It looks so much better on the little screen but oh well. That was within the first couple of hours that i was messing around. Im surprised the car did so well.

I have more but they just arent as interesting.

hehe, american cars and corners, serious question - does it not take ages to get places with crossroads everyhwere and no roundabouts? or are a lot just give way junctions or something?
