pajama 0 Posted March 1, 2005 Seeing there was a pretty good intrest with Richard Burns Rally with the OFP players, I thought it might be intrsting to see what you guys think of the newly release Gran Turismo 4. The "photo mode" in this game is just jaw droping... It allows you to export pics through thumb drives/iPods. Yes, they are user made "ingame" shots... I'm still surprise how the PS2 can pull this off. For more 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrZig 0 Posted March 1, 2005 Looks like a bunch of crazy high resolution images put on a background object to make that effect. Looks nifty. Not really into racing games that much though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silent N Deadly 0 Posted March 1, 2005 That looks pretty good. How is the game play? It is realistic? Is it released for PC yet? Edit- Are you kidding me? Those pics do not look ingame at all. Like MrZig said...they looks like high resolution pics. WOW! I hope the gameplay is like the "pictures". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pajama 0 Posted March 1, 2005 Well in "photo mode" you are provided with preset (?) envioroments (not solely backgrounds) to which you can set up however you want, utilizing diffrent type of lens etc. Â But beyond that, you can export pics from the replays of the races and if done right, they should just look as good. Â The blurb: Quote[/b] ]Automotive racing is much more than a sport, it's a lifestyle. As the fourth installment of the worldwide blockbuster-selling Gran Turismo series, Gran Turismo 4 is available exclusively for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. Following in the footsteps of the PlayStation 2 "Greatest Hit," Gran Turismo3 A-spec, and a racing franchise that has sold more than 36 million units worldwide, Gran Turismo 4 features authentic racing gameplay that focuses on more than 650 cars, up to 100 courses and unique race modes. With an all-new physics engine and an all-new artificial intelligence engine, combined with revolutionary technology, Gran Turismo 4 delivers enhanced, if not perfected, game physics, graphics, and feel, acting as a near-realistic automotive driving simulator. Yes, 650+ cars (Yes you can have your Delorean ) Each payed in full with maximum attention to detail. Â Like said by the developers themselves (Polyphony Digital), they want the GT series game to be considerd like an automotive encyclopedia.

kegetys 2 Posted March 1, 2005 Based on some comments I have heard and some gameplay videos I have seen its not very realistic in terms of physics... Â Get Live for Speed S2 (and Richard Burns Rally) instead ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pajama 0 Posted March 1, 2005 Some how I knew Kegetys would jump in here Yes, Live for Speed is an absolute blast in MP with a wheel But I think just with photo mode alone I'm deffenetly going to knab this game up. Â Come on man, if the games fan forum is full of moter oil ads, the games got to be good BTW: Its intresting that the series has been know to actually help increase sales/awareness for certain car manufacturers. Many manufacturers actually got Polyphony to produce "specail editions" of GT for certain models as promotions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lionclaw 0 Posted March 1, 2005 I've preordered this game and I'll get it next week. It's PS2 (Playstation 2) only I'm looking forward to play this game! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper200 0 Posted March 1, 2005 The photo mode in GT4 is a nice feature. here are a few shots of some of the photos I have made: This is the Subaru Impreza that I won, it's a good car for just about anything and here is some toyota triathlon car that i won, it looks strange, but its a good car. The one thing about it though is that you cant race it in any races and here is one of my Silverado concept pick-up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lionclaw 0 Posted March 1, 2005 Nice screens!! I have to wait another week to finally be able to play this game! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sneakysix 0 Posted March 1, 2005 GT4 is amazing, ok they released a howler GT4 Prologue to keep the interest going and make some extra cash. Â But this baby will have you playing for at least month. Â Which in my gaming terms is a long time for a console game. Â This game is not only enhanced on all areas from GT3 Apec but features many more cars to buy and upgrade. Â The attention to detial in the Gt series is remarkable, with great backgrounds and the use of shadow and sun glare on the cars. Â I for one have this on pre-order for this friday in the UK. Â Â Â brum brum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah sure starforce I'm not too in love with either, but you're talking about the OFP of racing there, the physics are really so good that they totally overshadow the annoyances of starfuck.
