Gran Turismo 4 Discussion Thread Part 4

[Kiwi]

Continuation of the GT4 thread:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

Keep it on-topic please.

Any idea of whether we get all the tracks from the start? Because it's sounding like single player is going to be another boring adventure.

"Another post by Nick moaning about GT's non existant AI"

Did you notice how dumb the AI STILL is in prologue?

[NickSCFC]

What AI?

To be honest, I only think I'll bother with this if it has a worthwhile online mode. Seems like single player will be just as uninspiring as with past games in the series.

[Fats]

I'm too much of a fan of the series to let it pass, I need my fix.

[NickSCFC]

Enthusia and Forza (Xbox) are looking worthy racing sims. And there's plenty of great racing action on the way in the form of Outrun 2 and Burnout 3.

[Squarehed]

i think the AI will be sorted 4 GT4 though.

hope its up 2 the standard of other games.

did u guys think total immersion racin was any good ai?

[NickSCFC]

According to most mags the AI has not been altered for GT4 one bit. It's close to release in Japan and it's not looking good.

I wouldn't be so pessimistic about it yet, you haven't actually played it yourself yet (final code) and from what I gather you're a pretty Opinionated guy, so don't let the opinions of the press effect your stance on the game. I've noticed you've become VERY anti-Sony ever sence you started talking about getting an X-box. Could we be losing you to the darkside? :P

I would guess that they'd do something similar to A-spec, as in you unlock the tracks as you progress.

And as for the AI, well, what AI? The cars just stick to the exact path, and don't really do anything else. IF you're in the way, then you'll get hit, why bother going around my car when you can go through it?

Seen as they are going to have a car customize feature it may give the game a bit of a boost and excitment.

You never saw my running battles with Makaveli then? I'm trying to be more positive about Sony now, we've been starved of quality games on PS2 for a year now, but there's some good stuff coming :D

I'm sure Kaz has been working away and making sure this GT will be full of excitement and he's keeping hush hush about it. I'm sure he has heard enough Criticisms in the past to ammend the mistakes made in GT3... Well, I hope anyway.

to be honest with you I haven't bought an awful lot of games in a while, this would be due to me being unemployed. I have noticed one thing though... When I decide to buy a game I walk in, look around for 20 minutes and decide not to buy a game. Just because I can't see anything that I'll enjoy. I'm talking about new releases here, so I guess the next time I go to buy a game it'll have to be something that has been out for a while, such as ICO.

[NickSCFC]

Multiplayer should be great as long as there's no problems. I'll play it online instead of single player.

I found GT3 a little boring in single player anyway.

[Fats]

I've found it boring up to 75% and haven't played it sence. The game itself it massive and gives you plenty to choose from, but if the material that you have cannot be used in a way deemed fun after a month or two it just becomes dull and unplayable.

Nope all of those have been posted in this or the previous GT4 Thread.

Good screens Nick would rather have close ups though but they still look brilliant.
