    Yes, the tyre rates do seem severe. I am trying to avoid doing the races full length until I get the English language version. I am currently trying to unlock all the available cars in the Arcade (currently have 695 available with over 700 in the garage!). At leas then I can use the Japanese version for the Arcade and for general driving with no pressure.

    I noticed that the Japanese version of the game also does not acknowledge the fact that the Audi TT Manufacturer's Race is completed even though I have the prize car to show for it. I wonder how that effects the 100% completion possibility.

      I'm mighty tempted to get the US version of this come the end of the month, but was wondering if you would recommend it to someone who has NEVER played a GT game before.

        Yeah the Audi TT bug had me for a while. I got a weird message after leaving the Audi section and going back to the main map aswell. I think it bugged out and failed to save, as it was asking me something about Card 1, with a cancel or OK option. Very strange.

        How are you unlocking cars in Arcade? Just by buying and winning them in GT mode? I've not really touched Arcade Mode - just to see there is no structure like GT3, just tracks and car to race - no real objectives to unlock/complete anything.

          You have a basic selection available in the arcade. To give a wider selection you buy used and new cars and win prize cars. Checking a list of all the cars I think there are 709 to unlock so I am close with 695 though the Fiat Panda does not want to appear in the arcade for some reason and as far as I can see the Honda Life Step Van ('72) cannot be won or bought for some strange reason.

            Someone told me about a 'discipline' mode which means your car slows down for 5 seconds if you ram into AI. Bollocks?

            Comment


              its true.
              but isnt enforced on all races.
              just means that you have to be carefull, and overtake at the opertune moment, instead of just slamming into the side of somebody.

                It's only for collisions where your car is pointing towards the AI car though. So feel free to slide sideways into them. It's only on for a very small selection of races too.

                  not sure if these have been posted but translated screens for the game

                    Hit them sideways on those races hard enough and you get the penalty.

                    To avoid the time penalty on rally tracks when hitting the wall (best avoided obviously) use the back of the car as this will not register for the penalty!!

                        Gameplay.co.uk and amazon.co.uk have the release date pointing to the 9th of March.

                        The playstation site also has the 9th of March.

                          I think he meant the release of Gran Turismo 4 on the Playstation Portable.

                          But today the US version of GT4 (PS2) should be released!

                            My American copy has shipped so I may be able to play in English at the weekend. Certainly early next week.

                              My Logitech GT Driving Force Pro steering wheel arrived yesterday. It really does make a massive difference to the game, you get so much more control. Can't recommend it enough.

                                I've been thinking about getting one of these but the price has put me off a little, may have to go for it then.
