Fellow PAL:ers, preorder GT4P today!

Ill put up a time for Citta di Aria when I load the game later.

I bought is last week. IMO the build seems kinda buggy (I didn\'t read this thread so I don\'t know if its been mentioned already). During replays, particularily on Citta D Aria, there is some noticeable slowdown, of which I have never encounted in any other GT game.

There is also no 60 htz mode, which makes me downright pissed. During the car win sequence there are big black bars and the compositing between the background and the car doesn\'t look right.

Also, graphics don\'t seem to be improved over GT3. Maybe alittle touch here and there but nothing that stands out over GT3.

I LOVE the new physics engine though. Trying to keep the car undercontrol on the Grand Canyon track is awesome, and you can actually totally spin out, something I found had to do in GT3.

Its an old build so hopefully its all fixed (no doubt it will be) by GT4.

There is no need for a 60Hz mode if the game is a prefect port, like GT3 and hopefully GT4.

50Hz = Higher res but same speed as 60Hz if done right (games done right are: The Jak games, GT games etc. The not done right games are DMC, FFX and so on).

The win car thingy I didn’t notice, but now when you mention it. Its probably due to them not wanting to re-animate everything for the PAL release, Im pretty sure they will fix it in the final version of GT4.

Fastson: With the racing NSX (Takada?) on the Italy track I got a 1:36:???  I can\'t remember the last three numbers.But just so I know how bad I suck at this game could you have a few go\'s at it and let me know what you get?

Suck? You are doing great!

I had 1:34:297 , I know I can push it down a bit, but not on a empty belly.. I will return. :cool:

I recommend trying the grand canyon circuit with the Ford GT (all driving aids disabled) :eek:

Damn you!

On my first go, 2nd lap I was like 0.3 seconds from beating you.
Then it got worse, and even worse.. The best I got so far is 51:139 :evil:

Im too tired, I will return tomorrow. :whip:

I got to study the track in my sleep, the last curve is a tricky one.

It is certainly beatable, I did make a few mistakes such as braking too late into the first corner and drifting a bit wide. The corner before the long back straight is difficult too because you have to wait ages before you can get the power down.  The final corner is difficult to judge also because you approach it at very fast speeds and its difficult to judge how much to slow down. Too fast and you run wide onto the grass totally ruining the lap.  

Yeah, that last turn is a bugger, seems like there\'s a little bump in the suface which gives the car understeer. I\'ll post my times for this little challenge later this week

Cheers guys,I\'ll write all these down and see if I can get a bit closer to your times.

Well I haven\'t had much time to play but had a couple goes of Grand Canyon rally but I could only get a 2:29:???. You must be some kind of rally king to get 2:21:795.
