GT4: Are you over it?

**Polyal** · 10-06-2005, 01:00 PM

I never thought I would be posting this but im currently at 51.9% and Im finding that the gaps inbetween playing it are getting longer and longer.

Ive done a couple of Extreme races; but all in B-Spec mode (x3 of course). I just cant be bothered.

Hopefully the fire comes back because I want 100%, I got it in GT2 so I can do it in this, I think.

I mean, what other cars can I possibly get? I have that crazy audi speed thing, the annoying skyline pace car and heaps of others.

What % are you guys up to? Are you still playing it heaps?

TheSneakiness · 10-06-2005, 01:02 PM

Nope, the game sits in my DVD rack, just the like majority of the other games I have.

I think in GT4 I have 65% complete. The last thing I was doing was running around all manufacterers doing their specific races.

My flavour of the month is MK Deception. Although that is running out too.

Im over it :P

Im back on GTA San Andreas at the moment lol

I was playing that before I bought MK Deception. Which reminds me... must print off that fatality list.

I decided to start again lol... will keep me busy for a while I think :P

flicking between Forsa Motorsport and gt4, they both have strengths and weaknesses in curtain aspects. I have only completed 38% of gt4.

10-06-2005, 01:31 PM

Is Forsa motorsport any good? I was thinking about getting this game for my Bro's bday (so I can play it too) ;)

Forza Motorsport is pretty good, i'd recommend buying it. I assume we're talking XBOX here or is it on the PS2 as well?

It shits all over GT4...the gameplay, graphics and sounds are so much better, also realistic damage and more a simulator than a game.....

Sounds good, not hard for any game really to sound better then GT4 - pretty much all the engines sound the same above 3500rpm :(

But it's only available for XBox isn't it?

The MaDDeSTMaN · 10-06-2005, 01:57 PM

I'm sort of over it, I don't play it as often as I used to. I think I'm about 75% or so (might be slightly higher) through it, and the challenge for me now is finding races that are yet to be won.

I've still got one test left to do (the final one, damn it takes so long to complete a lap around the ring) to get the S license, then I'll have all the licenses, the thing I'm having the most trouble with is the driving missions - I'm stuck on the one where you have to drive an old Toyota 2000 (from memory) around new york and pass all the other cars in 3 laps. Best I've got on that one so far is 2nd.

Also that Clio cup is suprisingly hard to win... :(

Yeah, I have two of those driving missions left. The Skyline one where you draft off each other and the McLaren SLR one on the Ring. All the other ones I've done...

lv619 · 10-06-2005, 02:06 PM

I was over it as soon as my data got corrupt on the memory card... i cbf really going through all of the liscences again.

MR_SIDO · 10-06-2005, 02:09 PM

AFL live at the moment, but will go back to GT4 soon.

**Polyal** · 10-06-2005, 02:19 PM

Has anyone looked/heard of a game called Juiced?

Ive heard adds on the radio, its sounds ok.

The other game I want to get is Ace Combat: Rogue Sqaudron (something like that). The graphics look sweet and its about time a good fighter jet gane came out!

I just bought it last night. 50% off as well in a sale !!!!

I haven't played an MK game since the third one and this one so far is pretty good. I havent had a chance to learn the fatalities yet tho.

As for GT4, it's just a matter of what time do I have to play it in. I've still not even 20% through it. There's stacks of fun left in it.

Nah, I've got a demo version of it for PC, and after a quick google search, it's available for PC, XBox and PS2 - http://thq.com/game.asp?1144|49218

When I tried it, it felt more like an arcade game then a sim, however I've only tried the PC demo version that was released on a cover CD, and I havn't tried the more recent demo that is available for download...

EFFalcon · 10-06-2005, 02:37 PM

i got to 92% months ago, i think within a month of its release.
since that point i havnt touched the game.

i'm waiting on GTA san andreas now (PC version), so i'll play that more

Timmeh · 10-06-2005, 02:44 PM

I'm still playing GT4, taking my time and enjoying it. Spent a while on the licenses to get all silver and gold on them all, I like a challenge. Now onto doing events, it's all good fun.

M14A-Mclaren · 10-06-2005, 02:55 PM

I still play GT4, but my copy of San Andreas (PC) just arrived so I dont think i'll be playing it for a while.

needfordspeed · 10-06-2005, 03:42 PM

I like just going out and buying cars and then pumping them up, I got 2 typhoons, and i'm gonna buy about 5 more in each colour:P I also decided to buy a couple of R33 GTR's:P I play it when I want, can't say that i'm over it, but I hardly ever play.

Steffo · 10-06-2005, 04:06 PM

I'm still playing GT1 on my PSX Emulator on PC. I'm going to be buying one of them little PS2's so that I can play GT3 and GT4 though... unless my dreams come true and someone releases a WORKING PS2 Emulator for PC. Keyboard > Game Pad thingy. At least for me. I rock at racing games with the arrow keys for accelerator, brake, steering.. A for upshift, Z for downshift and spacebar for handbrake.

I bet that will never ever happen, too difficult

People said the same thing when the PSX emulators were first being made.

I'll give you a buck if they do make one.

And they said that a PPC Macintosh emulator was impossible on X86 hardware... although it's slow, there is one. Google results for PearPC (PPC Mac emulator)

The same was also said about getting a PC to emulate an Amiga 500 because of the complexity of the custom chips, now some people prefer to use WinUAE or some other variant of UAE rather then their real Amiga hardware, because it's FASTER then their real Amiga hardware, and any Amiga model can be emulated with a very high compatibility rate.

There are already several emulators being developed to emulate the PS2 (one of them being http://www.pcsx2.net/ ), so it's only a matter of time until one becomes available that is capable of playing most or even all commercial games.

Sorry, emulation is one of my more geeky interests... I know, I know, I'll f*ck off now...
