Gran Turismo 4 complete!

November 09, 2004 - Three years in the making, and Gran Turismo 4 is finally done. Publisher Sony Computer Entertainment and developer Polyphony Digital held a party in Tokyo today (forgetting to invite us!) to celebrate the completion of the game (and to make some strange announcements).

At the party, Polyphony president Kazunori Yamauchi gave out final stats for the game, including some staggering numbers. Some of these were announced before, but some of them weren\'t, so listen up! First, GT4 really is huge. The game makes use of a dual layered DVD, totaling, Yamauchi revealed, over nine gigabytes of data.

Where does all that data go? That\'s where the cars come into the picture. Licenses from 80 car makers throughout the world (but lacking car makers from India, we\'ll point out) are featured in GT4. Taking into account all cars, including concept cars, historical cars, race cars and cars from year 2005 and beyond, the game has over 700 total (we\'re sure Yamauchi knows the exact number, but he\'s just being shy). This includes, Yamauchi revealed today, the BMW 3 Series, which makes its debut in the game prior to its 2005 real-life release.

Finally, some course news. The fifty courses from the game include a previously unrevealed one: the new Fuji Speedway \'05 course, which is set to open (in real life) in April of 2005. There are still a number of courses that haven\'t been officially revealed, so it looks like we\'ll have to wait until we get the final version of the game to see what\'s in there.

All this should add up to the biggest driving experience ever. We\'ll have lots more leading up to the game\'s 12/3 Japanese release.

I don\'t know what everyone is smoking when they say this one only looks a "little" better than the first one. It looks 40 times better. I actually saw a direct-feed gameplay video for the first time and...DAMN!! It looks gorgeous
