View Full Version : GT4 OFFICIAL TOPIC -
As for the GT4 ultimate topic.. since it was already requested a tons of times, and since I am the picture king ( :P ), I guess it will be opened in a while ;)
Some pics of my 370 hp, 70'000 km Griffith lapping the Ring (around 8 minutes)
Ripping down the backstraight at 275 km/h

Nope they are indeed killing me!
They're messing me up like crazy. I think i might have to go buy a new controller soon. The one i have is going to get destroyed if i don't pass some of those missions.
:lol:
Great shots TT!
Are those screenshots really from the game??? Man, EvoII looks fatasticique! Any chance they release an update for the game? If they add E30 M3 I swera I buy PS2 and GT4 :P
How good is this game? Better than LFS? Write your experionces please.
And GT4 ULTIMATE TOPIC will be great! But post more classics, not those LeMans crap or Formulas, you know 205, M3, Merc Evo, Evo VI and actally all the EVO's etc.
:lol: Ulitmate topic? Sounds pretty good.
Raman you are MR8 at GTP?
Cant wait to start doing the OLR racing thingy! Maybe in the summer I will get a online adapeter and play online using Xlink! :D
BTW just to make sure have you guys seen these photots that I took?
Can be found here - http://www.angelfire.com/ult/gt4hotspot/PimpRacer.htm

TT you damn ricer! :lol: J/P it doesnt look that bad with the wing. And a ultimate topic for GT4? AWESOME! Cant wait to start showing off my "mad skillz" :lol: And it looks like you are enjoying photomode?

The wing was just to have downforce, so it's not a ricer shit :D
The ulimate topic will appear in the next 5 min in the ultimate topics subforum :)
I really want to try one of those "cheat" shots with more cars in it.. do you just just shoot all the pics with the same camera/angle and put them together with PS afterward or is there another way I ignore?

It's a PS job. A bit of a pain in the ass though, for me at least.
There's also the "panorama" PS job which looks like this (excuse my shitty PS work):

TT, I started small - trying the same angle in replay theatre... just drive the cars to the angle I want, and park em.. ;) Like a magazine shoot.

Good picture RC!

Panorama, like TT said but a little more detailed: all you need to do is set up the height, remember your camera settings, and take a couple pics from left to right. Put your cars at your spot then of course, you're gonna need to photoshop them then.
I actually fucked up on the exposure if you look a little closer. :oops:

Nice RC, what track is that?>
>EDIT<, it's the Ring, right? Stupid me.
Yes it is, and it must be hard to find the correct angle for combined track pics.. that's if you want to take pics of the cars away from the starting line ;)

That's why it's easier to do it in photo travel since it has a set enviorment. In photo drive it's hard to be at the same place with the same camera angle.

Just look at the prize car list, see if there's anything in there you want (or closest to) in the beginners hall and license prize car. Win the car and then use the 10k you got to mod it. Then go into the special condition hall, get and sell the rsc rally car. Now you should have enough money to buy nearly any stock car you want and go from there.

But the physics for certain cars is unrealistically bad, while others are unrealistically good.

There is no error, it's just that you are looking at the Jap Ver GT4 prize list.
About the Sauber Race Car, you can get it by winning the Formula GT World in the Extreme Hall
I was hoping to use it in the GT Championship in the Pro events since it's killing me there...
Is there a US list for the prize cars?

I don't think so. To make it even more pointless, you don't even see the differences physically like big intercoolers/exhaust, just the same as GT3. :x

the GT is a very hard car to drive fully tuned, the brake just dont' cut it for a 800+hp car.
Thats EXACTLY what i thought. I also thought its handling was not up to par, i was thinking it would have been a bit better anyway. The gt was a dissapointment for me :(
I think its great stock...but like most of the cars it has way too much understeer, and once you mod it the brakes just don't cut it, and the understeer becomes horrible.
Most all the cars in Gran Turimso become very hard to drive once they are fully tuned...

Yeah thats very ture! I like to keep it stock but if I get furistrated and cant win I force my self to tune the car up. And in the case for the super car festival I was at the last race and couldnt win and bought a purple Ford GT and tuned it to 800HP and put in Bitch-SPEC.

Has anybody tried the Option Steam Z? My GOD! Talk about turbo lag. I fully tuned it, like 900Hp. That thing just takes forever to get going in first gear. If you crash you lose a lot of time. You punch the throttle and nothing happens, wait.... wait .... 3,500rpm.... WHOOSE turbo finally kicks in and the thing peels out like it hates tires. Its wild.
Quick tip on the 4 Black Prototype racers...
you can wait for the days to cycle correctly... or you can use the Gameshark "all cars cost 1 credit" cheat code.
This has the unexpected side effect of having the 4 black cars show up as color alternatives in the appropriate dealership. :shock: As well as other prize cars that have mulitple colour choices you may never get to see/experience unless you complete the game 25 times :twisted: :shock: :wink:
So - if it's the black 787B Mazda you want, navigate over to the Mazda dealership, and find your trusty 787 listing, and select the black colour option with the right-arrow.
That simple - and pays your 1 credit, and move on.
This has the advantage of the cars being zero miles and fresh - and also saves waiting 400 days.
:twisted:
BTW - anyone interested in me uploading an "All Cars and more + 1 Trillion Credits" game save?
Thanks for the offer, but I'd rather play it like it should :D I don't need to have all the cars, in all the colors and 100% compelte after 2 weeks :D I will play Gt4 for months / years ;)
BTW - anyone interested in me uploading an "All Cars and more + 1 Trillion Credits" game save?

from what i now know is they unlock more tracks as you go along.....it makes sense as they do unlock every now and then
and right now im back to loving my integra type R turbo.....297hp,pretty dam fast around the nurburgring :D
Nope, the A-Spec points are for bragging purpose only afaik. The track are unlocked with time passing (days)
interesting.....my source gave me wrong information. :lol:
so they are for bragging.....well i wont brag about them just yet as there will be a lot of people in this thread ahead of me,lol
dingo
03-10-2005, 07:55 AM
This is part of a review of GT4, seems you can unlock certain things :?
"A-Spec points - OK, great idea, the harder the race is the more points you can get for winning, and the more features you can unlock (Possibly). This seems to be mainly determined from how well your car is tuned compared to the majority of the field. However, the amount of points is not always very well balanced. For example, as in my point about the AI and corners above, if the race has a lot of corners, I'll easily win and get 80 A-Spec points. Fine. However on the Seoul track it's says, this is worth 80points, but there's not a hope in all the world that I'll be able to keep up with them on the straights, so I just can't win. Really that should've come up with 250 points. It can also happen that you get the odd car in a race that just kills everything, there was a Elise 111R that kept popping up and there was no way I could keep up with given the car I had. I've recently entered a classic car race and twice there was one car (Cobra 427) that disappeared off into the distance leaving the rest of us wondering if we'd all stalled. And because I was in fairly well tuned 1960's Mazda Cosmos I was going to get 1 point for a race that was nigh on impossible. PD need to come up with a much better algorithm that takes into consideration top speed, acceleration, power to weight ratio, track type (Mainly straights or twisty) and better balance the opposition so when you are racing, you are racing a very close pack. One other comment I'd have is that you don't find out the A-Spec value of a race until just before you start. It would be better to show the A-Spec value of a race at the menu where you have the opportunity to go to the setup for the car and remove some parts and so increase or decrease the A-Spec value of the race. In fact it would be better than if PD could spec the opposition so it matched your currently selected car, so in a tuned race series the cars were tuned or detuned to give you a good race. They could've also made better use of the A-Spec points by deducting them for poor driving. So a slight tap may take 1 point off what you can earn, a deliberate shove 5 points and punting the opposition off the road 10 points, and possibly hitting the barriers to gain an advantage could be a 5 pointer as well. However I digress."

My first car is civic type-R '98 cause this is the most affordable from a start 10.000 cr, my GT4 is a japanese ver. and my GT3 A-spec is US ver. i just have to wait for the US GT4 to come...
I have a question for you guys... what trans. do you prefer? manual or automatic setting? be true, not because manual is more cool then you choose manual...
I'm with manual... :wink:
i go with manual,always do from the start :D
I go with manual, unless the car I am driving is only available with an auto... :P
On a side note, another great starting car is the Mazda Kusabi! You can easily get it with all silvers in the B license and it's really doable in a moment!
I used it for a couple of races only since it is UGLY, but if you can live with it, it is a damn fine car.. just 150 hp but less than 1000 kg and very sharp handling. You can't really tune it a lot, but still, considering it is free, it is a good bet IMO ;)

A interesting thing like that happened to me. I wasn't in B-spec mode though. I was driving (I can't remember what track is was on) and I came around this turn to see that one of the other drivers had understeered right into the pit stop on accident. The funny thing about it was that it didn't actually go through the pit stop but backed up to get back on the track.

It handles pretty well even stock. It has TONS of power and torque, and it's not heavy. Right now it's tuned to 1200kgs and ~850hp. It's so cool watching a lowrider killing Vipers, Vettes, and SL65s.

I think that I just figured it out. It indicates when a car's just had its best lap.

850HP? Damn do ya really need that much? :lol: BTW does it give out sparks alot?
LOL, no sparks. That would be kinda cool to see though.
I don't need 850hp, I'm using it to try to train my driver. I've been stuck at 7048 B-spec points for a long time. The first time I ran it, I only had it lightened and with clutch/flywheel/driveshaft/1.5 lsd. And it still dominated.
With 850hp, it cuts ~10sec per lap

Will do when this Enduro is over. 26 laps to go.
I've been "stuck" at 7000 for a long time. I've been trying everything to boost it, but it's not working. My driver decent now, but I still want him to get better. And I want him to stop rear-ending cars that he comes upon before deciding to pass them.
EDIT: Ride height's 67mm.

Interesting observation from my MidgetII race.

With exhaust, chip, port, and balancing (only 40hp), I got 53 B-spec points.

I can't remember if S2 are the sport tires medium.. usually that's the stock tire for road going cars. I can't check now since I am in the middle of the Grand Valley 300 km enduro.
As for the USB stick, I use the cheapest I could find in town, a 64 MB Medion one I paid around 10-12 USD :D
:D I guess you buy the USB just for the GT4...right?
Have any of you guys tried the Buick Special? That car is so badass! It's killing the SL65 on the NY endurance.
I bought it, it pumps 615 hp after you change the oil...this car also handles quite good, but the main down side is the car looks to low at the rear... and i've test it at 400 meters, with standard condition it took 12,238 sec... so its a value car for 58K...

No, I mean B-spec. It looks like the points differ based on the mods done, not on the car's horsepower. The points awarded also randomly slightly fluctuate. Same mods, same race, win, the points awarded can be different.
Points seem to be most influenced by tyre choice.
There are some races where is I have sport tyres, it is a 25 pointer, and switch to racing slicks it becomes a 1 point race.
I have been in Memphis Tennessee the whole week - so am missing GT4 just a tad.. ;) hehe
..
:D I guess you buy the USB just for the GT4...right?
Well yes, you never know ;)
As for the A-Spec points discussion, we should also consider that, when we do the same race twice, also the opposition change, and maybe also the tuning level is randomly assigned between certain limits, so it seems normal that the points can seem weird sometimes, no?

sorry if Im a komplete noob on this, but I dont understand what the point in having a AI driver is?
Incase you dont want to race for some odd reason or have to go to sleep since a race took longer than you expected or if you just plain old suck.

whats the deal with those cars you dont get anymoney to sell?
are there anypoint in keeping them or are there a way to get money for them....I dont need alot of these cars in my garage but I dont want to just drop them either...........

have driven some rounds in other cars than the RS and they behave alot different on NS than on other tracks like "el capitan"........

Well the NS tarmac surface is much more tortured IMO. Impressive cambers, bumps and such, El capitan is not really flat, but an highway compared to the NS IMO!
BTW, my nightmare race is the last Tsukuba race in the Special conditions events! Against the Bentley not even my 1000 hp CLK GTR is able to keep up and I hate to drive in the wet :bah:
In the meanwhile, my minion is still eating miles in the enduro hall for me ;)
I admit, before buying the game I said I wanted to do all the enduro myself, but between the 3 or 4 24 hours, the 9, the 8 hours, and so on... there are probably just a couple wich are less than 3 hours.. GT3 was a walk in the park compared to this nightmare :D
IMO the minion makes sense after a while: he races while you are out or doing your shit.. then when you want to let him rest a while, you call him into the pit and you do a couple of laps yourself ;)

NICE! I wanna get mine by today or tomorow I hope! :D
Ok did a couple of laps on NS tonight in a RS4 got a 7:32 lap, what Im wondering about is it only me or do some of the cars feel more unstable on NS than on other tracks......
have driven some rounds in other cars than the RS and they behave alot different on NS than on other tracks like "el capitan"........
I tried a race camaro on NS for instance and even if that got 912 hp and alt the trimmings available it still feelt unstable and I couldnt get a better lap than 8:02 in it......
Oh and one other thing I did a 1/4 mile run in both the camaro and the RS4 and the result surprised me to say the least....
Camaro race car 912 hp............10.670
Audi RS4 612hp.............10.472
whats up with that the race car got the best tires avilable and the RS "only" got S2 tires.....
912 Hp = loss of traction without TCS on?
And I don't even have enough cash to do anything. That is after transfering over 100k credits already.
What do you mean? With that 100K you can buy a very nice car and start winning races which will result in more credits and prize cars, then you are set :wink:
Yeah I agree. Go buy a Civic type R used or a used NSX! :D

Ok now that I bought an RF swtich so I can play my PS2 at my cousins apt with her shitty old tv without audio video inputs I have been able to really get down to business with GT4! I am still pretty much at the beginning but i have a few comments and questions I hope you guys can clear up for me...
1. The original tracks and city tracks and all those that you can go in and race in the family cup... whats the point? It does not seem to keep track of which ones you finish(well there is no trophy or checkmark or whatever). Is it the same as in GT3 when u raced the arcade, finished all the races available, then it unlocked another set of tracks to race? I am not sure and you can imagine I do not want to spend 1-2 hours racing these circuits for 'nothing' :wink: I did notice that there are alot of the tracks missing so far, So i assume you unlock them as you go? Or are they unlocked over time as you guys have been saying?
2. I am still doing the beginner cup... So I am still pretty early on in the game. I have a few cars, and have finished my liecense up to IB and have done 9 of those driving missions. Again, what is the point of the driving missions, there are 30 of them and each 10 are colour coded. So when you finish 10 do you get a prize car or a lump sum of money? or must you finish all 30?
3. This early on in the game, NOS is saving my ass, seriously! I thought it would be similar to NFS with just a short 'shot' of it, but FUCk you can use the stuff for nearly half the race and it works well with these shitty cars I drive right now, to help get an edge over the competition, at a relatively cheap price of 5 grand!
4. Are there any tricks to making money quickly? I know I read that redoing the beginner tracks to get the prize car again works, maybe I am just being impatient, but this is not making me too much money.
Well, that is all for now. I am currently driving an MR2 spyder so I can use it for the MR challenge and the spyder/roadster so I am looking forward to completing those races tonite! :D Any insight into my questions would be great! Thanks again.

1. Well, it is just to do some practice IMO.. or to go for an easy for session without having to save the replay.. not sure for the family race or whatever... still not done a single one LOL
2. Yes, every 10 you will get a prize car
3. IMO NOS should't be allowed for such long periods.. or at least the engine should blow once in a while LOL
4. First trick: special conditions event, the second from the top, you can race, win both directions, get a Toyota RSC rally car, sell it for 270'000 credits.. then you can do it once again.. you try to enter the race, you choose to reset the trophies and you can win the car once more.
When you will have a better car, European Events, The German Touring Cars championship, you get 15'000 per race, 75'000 when you win the championship and a CLK GTR prize car you can sell for 750'000 credits.. and you can do it a bazillions times if you really want

1. The Family Cup is there for new begineers. Its another way of making money.
Go here if you want to find out when you get a certain track unlocked -
http://www.angelfire.com/ult/gt4hotspot/Tracks.htm
2. The driving mission's give you a car for having a certain amount complete go here if you want to know what cars you get - http://www.angelfire.com/ult/gt4hotspot/GT4prizecars.htm
3. Yes "NOZ" is kinda cool but I only have it on 2 cars and for the only purpose of getting a top speed.
4. Money tricks - Go do the Capri Rally in Special Conditions Hall ( The second race there ) You race then get a prize car sell it for 200 000+ credits and then redo the race and sell the car again and so on.
Go to the DTM race in the European Hall and you will win the CLK GTR sell it for 775000 and in total including your race earnings and the cars value you will have about 900 000.

thanks TT and pimp. Special conditions are rally and ice right? The first car I bought was a mutsi evo '92... the original. It pumps out just under 390 bhp, second stage turbo, and all the go fast transmission goodies you need. Will this be good enough to win the capri ralley? O and another question, I have not tried B spec at all... what do you guys use it for? like a race when you need that little extra AI edge only a 'perfect' computer can accomplish?(For the ones you are driving really well, but are just out of reach of 1st) ? Or do you use it when you are bored of racing and want to sit back, hit a few buttons and have a beer while you watch ur 'little buddy' attack the track? :wink:
Yes but there are also some tarmac races ;)
Yes your evo should be good enough for the first races :D
B-Spec, you will use it a lot for the 24 hours endurances (3 of them), for the 9 hours one, 8 hours, the 1000 km, and most of the others too ;)
The idea is to make "him" race when you are indeed tired, but once you finally pit and give the wheel to him, it is hard then not to let him finish the whole race at 3x speed in the admin panel ;)

i kinda like NOS even though it isnt very realistic in the game.. (no wear on the engine and what not)
althought it tends to get me in trouble when tryin to take races seriously.. i have to force my self to "save" the nitrous for the last couple laps or atleast the tires are warmed up.... i use it in any straight possible where i can pass cars and also in the corners.. :) its a GREAT way to induce over steer when desperately needed
oh yea, i take back my comment bout a-spec points and the amount of money you spend on your car.. i was a little burnt at the time when i posted that :shock:

BTW all photomode pictures go in the Ultimate Topic please. :)
Eww, Infineon BTW is the track were my B-Spec pal sucks the most.. even if set on 3 as speed level, it can't stay on track.. and I won't bother with 1 or 2 since he will just come last :bah:

Just curious which track do you guys hate in GT4? I HATE with ALL MY HEART Hong Kong and thats it for now.

4. First trick: special conditions event, the second from the top, you can race, win both directions, get a Toyota RSC rally car, sell it for 270'000 credits.. then you can do it once again.. you try to enter the race, you choose to reset the trophies and you can win the car once more.
4. Are there any tricks to making money quickly? I know I read that redoing the beginner tracks to get the prize car again works, maybe I am just being impatient, but this is not making me too much money.

If you want to win events and a car to sell only to make some money to get you that one car you really want go to the European event, or American event or Japaneese event.....
do one of the cups there and you will win a great and expensive race car....
The one in the Pan European cup are worth 313 000 cr....I think if I dont remeber wrong........its ha pretty hard race if youre not using a Zonda or simular......I did it in my beloved RS4 and the Zonda had to bite the dust but damn it was hard in a couple of them......

What car did you guys use to win the Lightweight Cup in the Beginner Races? To enter the car must be less then 3400mm in length, but when you look at the showroom it doesn't tell you the length of the cars :?

Anything less than 3400 mm in length. I dunno exactly since i have not raced it yet, but it is probably worth it to go back and do the sunday cup for the autobachini since it only takes 10 minutes. But as long as a mini is small enuf, you could try that car....but it isnt exactly a lightweight!

The weird thing is, power-to-weight ratios are similar stock. Stage 1 lightening gives the edge to the RSi, but it's still getting worked, badly.
RSi - 3.750 (right now)
Beetle cup car - 5.431 (what it should be stock)
And it's still losing. Even my driver can't win, and he's really good.

^ Tell me about it TT, I bought the Volvo 240 for the FR races...pffft. No chance of winning without any mods.
I have taken a pic of the Volvo 240 wagon @ grand canyon (photo location). All I need to do know is import it into PS and put some guys pushing it from behind (off the cliff) as that's the only thing it's good for :twisted: :lol:
What a bloody waste of money the 240 was!!
As for what I WON the FR races with, I ended up buying another car...which car? I'm keeping it a surprise til I post some pics later on. :wink: Let's just say I refer to her as the 'frigate' she's big bruiser, quite powerful, and needs 3/4 mile to stop :lol:

Use a Sharkport to save the replay file to disk, and email it to me, I'll make you a movie.. ;)

if any of you are wnating an older (pre 70') car tor ace in multiple tournaments then get the buick special. It doesnt cost much, and all you need to do is whack a turbocharger/supercharger on it (i forget which) and it has very nearly 1000bhp, it will absolutely murder anything else the computer cares to pit against it, and is just as quick as a modded DB9. (I have both)
Alas, i know cant play GT4 as my playstation vandalised itself a little while ago and went through 2 copies of GTA:SA. I borrowed a friends ps2 over the weekend but he took it back yesterday, so i now have the worlds best driving sim, and no means of playing it.

lol TT, i completeed the 4 hr race yesterday in my 900bhp nuvolari. Only took around 2 hrs on B-spec, i did a couple of laps myself though :)
I think I discovered a rather irritating bug in the B-Spec driver's AI.
About every 10 or 12 laps of the enduro on the Montegi oval, the B-sped driver will simply ram into the wall exiting turn 2 and sit there stupidly steering right for about 10 seconds and then off it goes again.
I tried a number of cars, speed settings, tyre combos etc - doesn't matter what state the tyres are in, he rams the wall and gives up laps.
It is these types of details that highlight how little work went into GT4.
It is not a refined game - not by any stretch of the imagination, when compared to the high quality coding that has gone into GTR etc.
Many of these flaws have nothing to do with the power of the PS2 platform, but rather with the lack of refinement and polish that went into the game.
The reason is easy to see - PD and Sony were too busy making hundreds of millions of dollars selling "custom" versions of this crap - so much so, that they forgot to finish the main fucking game - the one that helped build their franchise to the point they could sell so many versions.
BTW - from the first page... this is rather a presumptuous post... if you are that concerned about copyright (and I see you have taken OTHER peoples images and put them on your website) don't post them - or at the least post with a watermark and move on.

I noticed the exact same thing. I tried it with my CLK GTR, and every 2 laps, off into the wall it went, and i have a relatively high b-spec skill, after doing the 4hr ring event and other multiple races. It means you HAVE to drive yourself which is a pain in the arse for so many bloody laps

Well, I'm tired of seeing you ppl always talking about the great GT4, the Nurburgring track, the amazing cars...
And, I made a decision!!! If you can't beat them, join them!!!
I reserved now a pack that brings the PS2+GT4, for 180 euros.
Unfortunately, in my city (Leiria) they were sold out... so I asked a friend of mine that is in another city to buy it there, because I'll have to go there on wednesday.
Until wednesday.. its a big wait...
Counting the hours....
I think I will see some more screenshots until I put my hands on THE real thing.

I think I discovered a rather irritating bug in the B-Spec driver's AI.
About every 10 or 12 laps of the enduro on the Montegi oval, the B-sped driver will simply ram into the wall exiting turn 2 and sit there stupidly steering right for about 10 seconds and then off it goes again.
I tried a number of cars, speed settings, tyre combos etc - doesn't matter what state the tyres are in, he rams the wall and gives up laps.
It is these types of details that highlight how little work went into GT4.
It has happened often enough and in many other races, not just the endurance ones, that I have begun to look at GT4 as simply a good time trial game. Take your favorite car to your favorite track and try to beat your best time. Past that, the game falls all to pieces, at least for those looking for "The Real Driving Simulator"
Instead of coding in some actual AI, they instead decided to code 50 different ways to hear a camera click in Photo Mode.

Good one....I gotta agree, is it really necessary?

This is what I used GT3 for - with custom hybrid cars. In anticipation of the multi-player limitations being adressed in GT4 that GT3 had - I gathered up 2 PS2's, 2 GTForce Pro 900 degree wheels, a pair of nice flat panels and made a pair of wooden cockpits for hosting great GT4 race days with friends and family - but alas, GT4 is still very weak in multi player support.

LMAO, f-ing tell me about it.
Although I am going to risk flaming and pedantically point out it's more like 20 different clicks

In the US version... ;) I heard there is a Nippon-special with 560 camara clicks, 342 Skyline version and 275 Evo options - as well as B-Spec helmet colour selection... :P hehe

Just "recieved" GT4 after having to wait to the weekend to get the copy my gf pre ordered me.
Have to say, even though I wasn't expecting much of an improvement I reckon its more of an improvement than most are saying - if you play them back to back, more of an improvement than GT3 was over GT2 thats for sure.
Granted, there's many many niggles they should have concentrated on that they didn't but its still a much better game, especially the selection of cars that was all but gone and was very dissapointing in GT3.
But why didnt they make the garage/pit stop - smelling disc again? That was a very unique touch ;) much missed
