If you haven't gotten it already, go out and get it. It owns the hell out of forza.

Thank you, atleast someone Agree's...

now, quickly before a shizwack of people get in here trying to reem you out, state that forza is a GOOD game.. But GT4 clearly owns it.

Btw, how far are you in it?

Post by **Postal** » Wed Jun 29, 2005 7:00 pm

Lol, forza's alright.

I'm about 4.4% into it (got it yesterday), but I can definately see myself getting 100%

Already got me a Cadillac Cien and around $400k to spare.

I haven't tried GT4 yet but I can't wait. I did play Forza and loved it though.

im sitting at about 78% ( You beat the game at ~55% ) with about 40 mill in the bank.. and Err.. 120 cars or summat.

tis fun, especally when you get the Project cars..

thus far, i got all of the S chassis Silvia's ( Except the S12 ), R32/33/34's, DC2 integra's, all for project cars..

Ah cool....do they still have the formula 1 cars in GT4?

Post by **AmIdYfReAk** » Wed Jun 29, 2005 7:22 pm

i know they have D1GP, and etc.. but im not sure about karts.

I loved GT3, but the AI is a bit "boing". Is the same true for GT4?

Post by **o'dium** » Wed Jun 29, 2005 8:03 pm

GT4 = GT2 with semi decent visuals.

WOW, the intro looks good because it was rendered on a PC!

Sorry, but GT4 just bored the fuck out of me. 10 foot away popups, ugly blockey graphics, 2MPH driving and AI that looks like it was made in 1995 doesn't really make a game for me.

yes.

that's why i like to do time trials or race against a human opponent.

Hmm, well what I enjoy about Forza is that you occasionally see the AI push a bit too hard to catch up to you and come a cropper on the corners. Feels more realistic than the rubber-band-n'rails thing.

I still can't get that fucking chicane in Laguna Seca right....

ah, the corkscrew. that's the best part of the circuit. most of it is not overcooking it going in, apply brakes, down to 2nd, then accel out stomping it. but you knew that. challenging for sure.

It's true too, what's feels even more realistic is when you drive against the driver you trained. But what you say is true geebs, I've seen it many times where you'll see a guy try to cut the corner instead of taking it wide to pass you only to get passed going out of the turn again cause they took the wrong line. They'll block you sometimes too which sucks.

It's hella hard with any car that has over 800hp. Well... if you have TCS, ABS and Stability turned off and you drive manual.

i don't use aids, and automatics are for p*ssies. don't get me started on any cam other than nose.

Actualy I'm not too partial to the nose cam. It's not that it's any harder but I prefer being able to either see my car or to be right in the drivers seat. The nose cam is good for certain games though like the oldschool Ridge racer game. Which I was inbeatable at

i know you meant unbeatable.

i should have been more specific:

any cam behind the driver's pov is ghey.

I played GT4, first hour and a half I spent clearing space on my ps2 memory card. After parting ways with some of my favorite saved games I loaded up GT4, and spent a billion years on getting a grade B license. After that I decided to go race, untill I realized I needed a grade A license too, so I decided that this game was crap and turned it off.

No you're crap and can't drive.

Post by **o'dium** » Wed Jun 29, 2005 9:46 pm

Not as bad as champ man 5... Not only is it a shit game compared to football manager (because the team that did champ man 4 left the team and worked on football manager), but it also takes up an entire memory card... Woo...

i'm @ 92% ... rocking good game.
and the comment made earlier about it being GT2 with good graphics (and without as many bugs) ... is pretty much spot on.
and a good thing, gt3 sucked. (as a successor to gt2... was still better than most other crap)
