Gran Turismo 4

Posted by mikathegreat2 , 23 July 2007 · 77 views

Well, where to start! It's a great game! I found it harder to handle than in GT3 & there's loads of these new crap cars & new cars such as the SLR McLaren, M3 CSL & GTR, & a few new Le Mans cars like the BMW V12 LMR, Audi R8, Jag XJR9, but the most nice-looking ones where the Pescarolo Sport Race Cars! Well, I completed the Beginer League & American League.

I'm trying to win the Profesionnal League but I just need to win the GT World Championship! I tried it with the CLK GTR Race car I won in the European Toring Car Championship in the European League but did'nt do that! Then I sold it & bought 1 of the most powerful cars, the Gillet Vertigo race car from Belgium & it was terrible so I entered in a few of the other leagues until I eventually unlocked the edurance races.


I've won 2 so far, both in a Loctite Mugen NSX Japanese GT car! I won a Mitsubishi FTO Super Touring car! On another website, I thought it said I'd win a Sauber Mercedes C9 race car from 1989 in the Grand Vallet enduro which was suitable for my NSX but I won aan Audi V16 stremline instead! Must've misunderstood but there's no other endurance trace less than 2 hours long & when I sort of pull back my thumb, I see a yellowy circle whch looks like a blister & it's starting to look like 1 regularly now (you have the right to puke now)

There's also a Laguna Seca enduro which has 90 laps but it's a short circuit! I might do that 1 tomorrow in my Ford GT, only it's the concept from 2002 so I upgraded it to 552BHP to make it like the actual GT! I quit because I had regular soft tyres on but I can do very well in super hard tyres so I'll buy them for the GT so I can win my 3rd endurance race!


I tihnk that's a new personal record for me as I only remember in GT3 doing the Grand Valley Speedway (Denso Sard Supra) & the Super Speedway (Mazda 787B for the laugh). BTW, I won the 787B by winning the "Likee The Wind" race in Professional League with my Dodge Viper GTS! Reason why because i upgraded it to over 1000bhp & did'nt need ro pit even if my tyres reached condition red! The 787B made we win the amateur league & unlocked the GTS-R Team Oreca & could'nt be bothered to do a race in Professional league as they was 10-20 lap races which took alot of effort & thumb energy!

The only thing is why does'nt it have a save feature for the really long endurance races like Le Mans & Nurburgring 23 hour & Tsukuba 9 hour? Never mind! It's a great game ith a good time trial section in GT mode so you an do some pre-race tests if you've tuned your car up!

What do you think of it, well, if you have the game???




I lurrrveeee GT4.  But I suck at it.  I never have time for video games, so I only got to win the Sunday Cup and the AWD Championship in a 1995 Subaru Impreza.  I have 21,000 cr.  I need to play that game sometime, it was a lot of fun.  I got screwed by not having GT3, so I couldn't transfer any money and cars over, etc.  I have 300-something A-Spec points in Gran Turismo mode, which isn't bad for only 2 championships (the AWD was like 73 points per race).

For the most part, it's the best racing game ever, but I spend a lot more time with FIFA 06.

Speaking of GT4 my PS2 is still on & I've only done 1hour & 11 mins of the Nurburgring 24h enduro! I'm in a Mitsubishi FTO Super Touring Car versus & BMW M3 GTR Race Car (rival of the race), an Alfa 156 Touring Car, a Merk E190 Evoll Touring Car, a Spoon S2000 (s##te) & an Impreza Race Car (or a Touring Car, I'm not sure).
Wish me luck, when ever I finish!

How do you get the endurance races?  Does it require actually being good at the game?  If so, I think I'll go back to my goal of playing Real Madrid vs England's World Cup team on FIFA 06 and see what happens when David Beckham plays against David Beckham.

Nope. You have to complete 25% of the game to unlock endurance races! You also win an Audi Nuvolari quattro concept car if you do so!

Ok.  I will never get that far.

My Beckham vs. Beckham thing turned out weird.  I was hoping that Beckham would score a goal on both teams and then see if the commentators would be like "HE PUT IT IN HIS OWN GOAL!  BECKHAM'S AN IDIOT" but they didn't.

Well after a week I barely progressed other than the fact that I won 2 enduros including the El Capitan 200 mile race which wins you the Toyota 88C-V race car & I won that in a Viper GTS with supercharger & Muffler or Race Chip, can't remember which 1. Then I won the GT Championship after ages of waiting! I thought the R92CP was too powerful but anything I win always gets modded up automatically which a race chip moving my 88C-V's power from 788bhp to 905bhp  B) ! Only reached 215-220mph on the Mulsan straight which is the last race (231mph in the slipstream of a CLK GTR).


Unlocked the Extreme races & boy I'll have a lot to do! I bought a game yesterday called Evolution GT for 8EUROS  :blink:  :blink: ! It's OK, but for that, not as good as GT4 but it's about a year old! I've only begun & I'm doing fine. Won the Hot hatch competition with team Bosch but they're all 1 make races but I'm against 7 other drivers.

Drove a Seat Leon, Clio V6 & I forgot what other car I drove! Gabriel Tarquini (some Touring Car Champion I don't know of) is in the game but he only explains all the racing tips & other Sh#te & his voice is dubbed!

I have re discovered my passion for racing games through DiRT. I am going to finally buy a steering wheel, though, because it is totally impossible to keep the car on the road using the keyboard (I am a PC gamer)
Watch just how wonderful it looks (and how awful was my driving). For the record, I finally was able to keep it on the road long enough to win the race. My awful first attempt

:lol: I just noticed your comment in Youtube! That was kind of you but I obviously sucked! Was just a video to test the game recording software and to show you how great that game looks.
This monday I am getting a steering wheel so hopefully I will be able to start doing a half decent job at playing it.

I need 1 of those as a piece of the handling part of the PS2 that sticks out has been cracked for a while & I broke it & now the vibrator has after coming out! I'm afraid to pull it out as I'm afraid I'll f**k the whole controller up! I have another 2 controllers I bought from GameStop last year when I gots GTA: Liberty City Stories but they don't seem to work properly! When I played FIFA 07, I sometimes used them but they always f***ed up when I wanted to cross a ball in & I think the same thing wight happen in GT4!

Thoughts of Random:
1: Steering wheels don't help.  I'm worse with the wheel.
2: If I made a video of me playing GT4 it'd be bad.
3: If I made a video of me playing F1 2001 it'd be superb.
4: If I made a video, Verizon Wirless would **** me up and not let me upload it without buying $90 worth of Sh#t to go with the $90 worth of music Sh#t and $90 worth of pictures Sh#t.
5: I want a PS3.
6: I might get one if I ever move out.
7: I'm never going to get to move out.
8: My sister was driving 10 mph in a 35 mph zone.  She sucks at driving.
9: On some NASCAR game I was playing, I flipped over and went down the track sliding on my roof, and it said I was doing 277 mph.  Which I wasn't.  I took a screenshot.  But am too lazy to show you.  But I'm proud of myself.  I went from last to first in 2 seconds and got a 3600-lb bathtub to go 277 mph.

It's really good.  Other than having no damage, it's the best racing game I've ever played (though I haven't played many)
