THERE WONT be Ferrari, Lamborgini, or Porsche,

I think you might be wrong, in the bonus 'Making Of' DVD that comes with prologue the designers were testing a Ferrari's (360) so i think that they might be included into the game

Hard drive goes in first, fills in the internal section of the expansion bay, then the network adapter goes in next and is connected to hard drive.

I was very impressed with prologue, and to think...thats not even the finished product! My favourite track would have to be the italian street course, eerm.. Cita De Aria i think is what its called. I was blown away when i unlocked the 350z roadster, you drive with the top down, and you can actually see the driver steer and shift gears in the car.

is there going to be a view of the dashboard while driving

Ok, I tried a Prologue (my friend downloaded it).

IT'S AWESOME.

I went through the entire school (not a licence system, but a school). They even had a gymkhana there too. I got to unlock a whole load of cars... Even the McLaren F1 Longtail. I tried all the circuits available in the prologue, including New York, Grand Canyon, an asphalt rally-style course in an Italian village, Fuji Speedway, and Tsukuba. The graphics were amazing, and the physics were even better. Once you get used to them, they are one step above GT3.

The school tests are quite interesting, as some include other cars that you have to pass. The multi-car tests start off at the penultimate corner at Tsukuba, and a Lancer Evo is in front, and you have to pass on the entry to the corner. The next test he takes a tight line, and you have to pass on the exit. You Fail if you hit him. Then later on, there is a race for ten laps in the McLaren F1. You have to go from 6th to third for bronze, 2nd for silver, and 1st for gold. Can't go off the track, and can't hit other cars... Very cool tests. There's even one with a Honda Insight and you need to maintain a certain fuel mileage while also achieving a certain laptime around Tsukuba.

Also, if I remember correctly, they've taken away the silly little glitch where the kerbing gives incredible traction, like in GT3.

All in all, I can't wait till it comes out.

[marshun]

i read allot about this game. the physics will be more realistic than the last one. but theres always the traction control and stuff like that if you cant handle it.

[Nismo_r34]

These gamers keep saying the it will be release in whatever but it never came out. I'm tired of it and just release the game already.

I've had the game on reserve since feb...sad sad sad...Hey, what color(s) were the McLAren? Was is the white/Blue Fina car?
Also could you guys tell us some of the other cars in the Prologue? I don't have the chip/slide card for it.

[malcolm]

Yep, it was in the Fina colours...

there were also some other small cars from asia, but to be honest, I played it a few months ago, and the guy wouldn't let me save the cars I unlocked... grr.

But yeah, that extensive car list seems accurate to me.

Oh, there's also the '03 JGTC Skyline, with the cool front fender bulges. I can't remember exactly, but I have a feeling the JGTC 350Z is there too... bah, can't remember. I also heard a rumour that the Nurburgring Nordschliefe was on GT4 as well, and I saw it in an online article, but I not sure if it's 100% true. If it is, I'll have wet dreams for months.

Actually, it doesn't matter to me when they release it (within reason), because the longer they take, the better the product will be.... I hope.

[case]

check out ign for up-to-date news... get on their mailing list, and they'll let you know anytime they find something new on GT4.

That aint sad, thats dedication fool. The game comes out in Nov. 2004 hopefully.

I can't wait for the online play. The only person i can't beat so far is my ghost. I'm ready for some good multiplayer competition.
