very nice speedy, but you could have got a vx seat.

Don't worry, I would really ove too but I can't justify the cost compared to a cheapo Sparco – I must say though the Speedster seat is far more comfortable (poor lumbar support on the Sparco).

I've heard the 11th March. Not bad considering it was meant to be out in September. Apparently you can print out pictures of the cars on this version. Hope they've got a VX220 in there somewhere. JJ

Yeah – a foto mode ,but don't think I'll be playing with that much considering the following quote from

>this site<

[I]"To put GT4's size into perspective, think on this: if you wanted to try out each car on every track for just five minutes, you would have to play the game 24 hours straight for over 120 days. That's more than 2,880 hours."

Hope they've got a VX220 in there somewhere.

AFAIK, VX220, VXT, Speedster and Speedster turbo are all in (in all colours) and you can mod the hell out of them

Yeah, September 03!!

I saw it advertised at Le Mans 03!

I will buy the game and it will be great, but all this waiting around has pissed me off a bit

From the link I posted above to the official GT4 website:

  
"Gran Turismo 4: start your engines...
The ride of your life is almost showroom-ready - find details of the final confirmed release date, the expanded European car line-up, and the fantastic new official site right here.
9th March. That's the new date to put "Buy Gran Turismo 4 today!" next to in big letters in your diaries. And that, despite any previous delays we've suffered as Polyphony Digitial has continued to polish its latest driving opus to shining perfection, is most definitely final ."

Gents, Can't get a quote from the site, i haven't figured that out yet. I have pre ordered from Amazon.co.uk and delivery date is quoted as the 24-25 Feb?? Seen alot of March dates and the one from the official website can't be wrong. I ordered it anyway.

Pre-ordered GT4 a few weeks ago, and bought GT3 and a Driving Force Pro wheel at the same timeto get some practice in ....Fantastic game and the wheel is really good too, just hope all the hype over GT4 is worth it Quite impulsive I thought as my PS2 has been gathering dust for the last year

But GT3 does not support 900° mode – just wait till you try it like that

just hope all the hype over GT4 is worth it

Just feast your eyes on >this<

[jneill]

Bugger, now I'm going to have to buy a wheel too.

[Blanchie]

It is soooo good that I can't be arsed playing any of the games that don't support 900° – they are so artificial in comparison.

I've got a regular Driving Force and am pondering getting the Pro version for GT4. A couple of thoughts:

- Surely a lot of race cars don't have more than 270 degrees of movement, what sort of racing requires 900 degrees? Where/how do you notice the difference?

- Any one reckon it will fit on my >racestation< gaming seat thing? It was design for the Driving Force and i reckon that if Logitech now sell the lap attachment seperately that it will fit both wheels and there for the new wheel will fit on my seat? Anyone owned both and can confirm that the footprint is the same?

Cheers,

Ben

Crossed my mind 2.
Thought with race cars you could get lock 2 lock without taking your hands off the wheel

[Ratspants]

Some pics of the cars in the game >here< including (in disappointing Opel flavour):

[B3N_VX]

The one pictured is a GREEN? Turbo!? without a spoiler or front splitters!? What? They don't appear to be taking note of the details!? Pah! (I'll still be buying it though )

[speedyK]

That first one looks familiar Not long to go now

[BradW]

I'll be in spain if its released on the 11th...I wonder if the Euro version is the same as UK? Oh...I was trying out GT3 this week and realised there is a definate lack of weather options...does anybody know if they have remedied this in GT4? One last thing, I hope the handling has gone back to the sharper version of GT2 and not the softer GT3... PS2 Geek Post over...

Speedy, if that is in game footage it is increadible! Can't wait.

[Gugaboy]

I'm very keen on GT series, but you know what, it is has several flaws. Ferrari / Lamborghini / Koineseggen cannot be missing in a game like this. about a year ago, I read that they couldn't put those on for licensing purposes, as the brans had exclusivity contracts with other games. Last week i read otherwise, GT4 creators had the chance to close the deal, but didn't want to pay the brands. How come? the most sucessfull game ever have plenty of cash to spend! Another thing is, 650 cars sound a lot, actually it is not. Think that between EVOS / SKYLINES / NSXS we already reached 100+. Surely RX7 / Supra / Scoobys will reach another 50. Great game, no doubt about it, but probably not that good.

[Turbo Head]

It has a 2CV on it in pink!

[JG]

I cant wait to try the 3 wheeler, 12 bhp thingy, Thats got to be the best car of the game!!
