JMortensen Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I got this from the zhome.com list. Gran Turismo III is the only game I play now. I have to say that after seeing this video and the car list, I can't wait for GT4. Note the Z's on the car list and in the video, also the Suzuki Hyabusa formula car... http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/t-24370.html http://www.playstation.jp/ch/asx_tgs/pv_gt4.asx Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest comeandzpa Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Motor Trend ran a feature article on this game in the November issue. In one of the vid caps, there is a clear shot of a Fairlady 240Z. Looks good even in the magazine picture of the video game still frame. I will definately be buying this game ASAP. That was one hell of an extensive list of cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David K Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 JEEZ LOTS of Z's in that game, im loving it!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiD-ViD Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I have a gaming mag wherein they went to polyphony's (the game maker) headquarters in japan. they showed all the processes of making the game, from getting the dimensions of the cars to the sounds. they had quite an impressive parking lot as well. anyway, they showed pics of the real tracks next to pics of the tracks ingame and it was incredible. pretty life like game. they said they took some huge number of photos of every track to get info from. I cant wait, the car list is amazing. a few cars for anyone to be interested in. my friend will be in love with this game because of the volvos and mercedes they have on that list.

JMortensen Posted October 8, 2003 Author Share Posted October 8, 2003 That's why I love the game Kid-Vid. I had been to Laguna Seca watching the races, but after playing GT2 and GT3, when a race comes on Speedvision, I know exactly where they are on the track. Same thing with F1 at Monaco. My main beef is with the lack of tracks. I'd like to see a track list for the new one. I wish you could do a whole rally too, instead of looping around a small portion of one of the stages. That'd be a lot of programming... Still, its one helluva game, and the new one looks WAY better. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inZane 240 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I've raced on Laguna and I can tell you the likeness of the real-life track and the ingame track are extremly accurate. And that's in Gt3. I cant wait to see what Gt4 has to offer. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiD-ViD Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I might have a track list in my mag at home. I will check when I get off work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted October 8, 2003 Author Share Posted October 8, 2003 I envy you Inzane. I never made it up there because entry fees were always $350 or more. The walls look awfully close in the game too. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguy95135 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 i saw some screen shots in PSM of the Fugi track. they compared some real pictures to the game and they looked 99% real. since its gonna be online there can be races with all the Z's old rivals, were going to have to kick some Alfa butt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Venture-Z Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 When is it supposed to come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KEINsm Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I think the release date IN JAPAN is in early January. More than likely, the US version will come out a couple months later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Iceickle Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I just loaded up Sega GT 2002 on my Xbox searching for Z's... To my suprise (i was shocked!) i found: (all under nissan ) 240Z 240ZG Z432R <-- What is this? Looks like a stock 240Z/260Z with ZG mirrors... More HP than them tho 300ZX 350Z I never played this game much.... Now im defiantly buying myself a 240Z or ZG and playing! =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMortensen Posted October 9, 2003 Author Share Posted October 9, 2003 We need HLS30 to tell us about the Z432R...Japanese highway patrol car 6 cyl 2.0 liter triple sidedrafts. That's about all I know. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiD-ViD Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 the 432R is a Z owners wet dream. 4 valves (per cyl) 3 carbs, and 2 cams. an incredible machine. the r version also has a special racing suspension and most of the body is fiberglass IIRC. oh also an interesting tid bit they dident have spare tire wells, quite odd looking if you are used to a regular Z. and yes wait for HLS30 to post on this...he knows everything about this car.

Guest bluex_v1 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I can't wait. I used GT3 to set up a Griffith 500 to mimic what I think my z should be. Even set my diff and trans gear ratios to exactly what I will be using (estimating 24.5" tire diameter based on the indicated RPM in game). I had to lighten the griffith a little excessively to get the 1/4 mile performance about where it should be based on some of those java calculators out there, so one or the other isn't perfectly accurate. Anyone else try this? if so, what was your setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 So who's this "HLS30" character? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
