Title: Gran Turismo 4
Post by: Beau on January 31, 2009, 06:32:12 AM
So after having bought ourselves as a 1 year anniversary present for each other a PS2, I picked up a used copy of GT4 and have been rockin' the  out of it. I don't have many cars yet, but I do have a '92 Lancer GSR that I used to start out with, as well as a Nismo 400R, and an '05 Stang GT that is modded as much as can be done.
Also just won a 1970 SS454 Chevelle, boy am I gonna have fun with that!
Since I'm having a hell of a time passing the license tests, I've been playing around with the B-Spec and winning races to build up my cars, and it's kinda cool...although boring.

I'd have to say my fave tracks are Midfield, Infineon, and of course Laguna Seca.

I only had GT1 and GT2 for the ps1, never played GT3. I used to play GT4 at a buddie's house back when we didn't have a life, but we always used a gameshark for infinite money etc...and that WAS boring as hell..lol.

So does anybody else still have fun with GT4...and if so, what are your fave cars? Tracks? etc etc

You're going to need this little tip. Once you get a fast enough car, go to the Special Conditions Races (I'm positive that's the wrong name, but it's at the very bottom left of the main screen) and do the first Capri Rally. Win both races and you win a Toyota RSC Rally Raid, worth $250k'ish. You can keep doing it over and over (reset the rally each time) and you can be a rich man fast.

I used to own the first 3 and rented 4 a few times and then I sold my ps2 with almost all my games. Had the the first 3 beat too, barely put a dent in 4 though lol. I think I still have GT3 somewhere though. Now I just need a PS so I can play GT again.

I think PD should stop worrying about giving computer opponents better AI and give us a  game.

Yeah, I've just decided that when GT5 is released, I'll get a PS3.

I also just bought the '00 Cobra R Stang in the used car lot :evilgrin:

GT4 is fun; it soaked up a lot of my time a few years ago.  Now I play GT5 Prologue.

Biggest peice of turd in 4 ever. don't waste any money on it.

I loved that car on 3. They ruined it on 4. If you get above about 100mph, it dosent turn. You also can't turn while giving it any gas, at any speed.

How I played GT2 and GT4.

Gameshark for a bunch of money.

Buy and mod all the cars I wanted.

Go and win all the cars from races.

Win a few more races and get bored. :hick:

Did you try tuning the suspension and stability control at all? And I mean beyond just buying the top upgrade?

shiznit fellers, it's all about tuning the cars...i found a nifty online guide/walkthru to basic suspension tuning..i used to slam 'em down and crank the downforce all the way up...and the cars used to suck, go slow as a turtle in January.

My cars are pretty  nimble and fast now...that green mustang will run around 190, and turns great...it's fully modded too...except for the brake bias controller.

I used to do the same thing and then I would wonder why it was slower lol. I too am waiting for GT5 to get a ps3.

Yes. I messed with all the settings for quite some time. I never could get it to go right. I think I may have had the rear springs alittle weak, because sometimes I would hit a bump and the car would spin out.
