Man, I know I'm late to teh Caddy Cien party....but does anyone find that this car is SERIOUSLY bouncy and stiff? I've literally bounced off the road a few times....


Also, note to self: The CLK-GTR was not meant to go down very narrow European streets (Special Events 1)

MSZ

Wide body car @ rally races? lol

Lightweight + great handling is the key, RX-7, NSX-S/Zero/R, Evo, STi etc. are recommended for Citta di Aria.

srika

LOL I took CLK-GTR @ Citta, I went too sideways once and got caught and had to pull an Austin Powers to get outta there... LOL

Minch00

@ pulling an AP


To complicate things it was the first time I'd ever driven the car, much less with it upgraded to 1000HP

It FLIES!

rise

My first day with the wheel....
OMFG IT ADDS A WHOLE NEW DIMENSION TO THE GAME!!!
It makes me have to think sooo much more...I'm sure I'll get used to it soon though

Zapata

i don't like playing without it anymore.....

srika

does it make it easier to drive?

srika

these videos are persuading me to get one.... especially check the license test with Sauber C9... this guy's got some skillz.

uhm, initially, no. Try and racing with it the first few laps is like learning how to drive for the first time. It adds to the fun factor and also it mimics real life so once you learn the relationship between steering input and car action you can drive at the limits much better = better laptimes....easier? no.....better fun, better driving results yes....

MSZ

It is easier to drive, When you take a high power RWD car on a tight city track(like Paris or Hong Kong)you can see the differences.

Zapata

u think it's easier? how? you have to turn the steering wheel alot to get it to turn the same with a controller the movement is only a few MM.

MSZ

Well, I had some hard time controlling those RWD cars with the controller in older GTs. With the steering wheel everything is much smoother. If you have troubles using the wheel, you may need more practices.

MSZ

Actually, I used the controller to play the US GT4 a bit in my friend's home yesterday. I couldn't even win the Sunday Cup with the Integra Type-R...

Doom878

Wow they made it harder. I noticed how they made the turning more real. I have to re-learn this game completely. Even the tracks look different too me with these awesome graphics. I had to turn off ASM on Arcarde mode too.

MSZ

Guys:

How can I make shots like these?

This dude got mutilple NSXs on one photo, I have no idea how to do it.

Mizouse

photoshop?

jruss9819

Finally got the Super license.........it only took me 5 hrs. The Nurburgring and Chamonix were a pain in the ass. Glad its all done.

WTF they gave me a '67 Cougar worth 10k. That blows!

MSZ

You guys are lucky to have a much weaker car in test S-16.

Try Sauber C9 @ the Ring. Thats what we have in NTSC-J version.

Minch00

Well, I have the 8.3 million dollars I need for the "Black Beauties".........I just have to wait about 400 more days

MSZ

400 more days? Damn thats a lot of time to kill...

I still have about 100 days left.

Zapata

haven't played all day but watching JGTC has got me in the mood....gonna do alittle driving

gdubb

ACL peeps, what car can I use to beat the last series n the last professional event. This is all I need to move on to the extreme events.

srika

your best bet is to win (and use) the Minolta Toyota racecar - get it at the El Captain 200 Miles endurance event.

srika

I was very curious about these too... after doing some research over @ GTplanet, I found that there is no way to do this in the game. People did do it using Photoshop and some skillz. I still don't quite understand how they get the same exact angle and viewpoint for the shots....

here's a really nice one:

srika

oops... just realized you can buy the orange/green 787B in Mazda Classic section.... 3.5mil.... :hmm:

Crazy88

sorry but im too lazy to look, what does GT4 retail for??

This game looks sweet

srika

retails for $49.99, you can get it for as low as ~$38 if you shop around....

Crazy88

nice, i played GT2 so many damn times, im ready for a change. GT4 is gonna be insane. i cant wait till spring break where i can play it for 5 hours a day.

srika

I feel like I play it for 5 hours every hour.



or something.

Mizouse

did they air JGTC on speed channel or something?? dammit i wanted to watch it too.. FAWK

MSZ

They do, but I have missed the boardcast everytime for many reasons...

rdml07

Those are sweet shots....but yea...like Srika said, it's probably photoshopped or something. One thing is for sure, they have skillz.

Zapata

yes......it was cool...50k people showed up to watch. HOpefully they'll broadcast them in the future.

zigzagzig

what car should i use for the beginner lightweight k class? I bought some used suzuki alto edition car/van/cr-v thing and it only had like 57 horsepower or something. I even put a stage1 turbo kit in there and upped it like 30 hp, but I was still getting spanked.

Anybody else have trouble building up money in the beginning?

CCColtsicehockey

any one have any tips for doing the snow and dirt races cause i am having a lot of trouble

Doom878

Is there a difference between that one and the black one?

I've only done licenses so far. 2 questions:

1. Can you unlock tracks in arcade mode like in the last 3?

2. Does it have the lists to tell you which car is eligible for the race in like 3?

gdubb

AHH, thanks. Looks like I need to be doing more things in the game. I only have 13% completed, so I can not enter the endurance events just yet.

srika

its the same as the black 787, only difference is color.

it seems that you unlock all tracks in GT mode only. However I am not 100% sure since I have only been playing GT mode - I do know this, I have all tracks unlocked in arcade mode. It seems that the way this game is setup, you unlock everything in GT mode (cars included) and then they become available in arcade mode.

and for your final question, yes and no. the game does a good job of telling you what you have to change if your car doesn't meet a requirement such as tires or country of make. However, for certain races it will list certain cars you can use, and then say "etc" - I don't see any way of figuring out what's included in this "etc" group, short of getting in a car and trying to enter the race. This sucks cuz for example, in the Schwarzwald Liga A race in European Events, I bought a 330i and modded it up thinking I needed to do that.... I didn't. After I enter the race, I notice there is an M Coupe in the lineup . Anyway that was annoying. Honestly the M Coupe is not in the same class as the other cars in that race, so that's BS. But they had the Z4 as eligible too so I dunno... anyway.... happy GT4'ing!!

srika
off to work for a much-needed break from GT4

srika

oh yeah - that little requirement. if you're looking for ways to increase %age, try doing driving missions 1-10, and also the special condition races - there are a lot. and enter any manufacturer races you can with any existing cars you may own.
