Seriously!

Its going to be part of a historic group of cars, I assume the Cossie will be there too, along with other hot hatches.

[krt917]

Oh, I don't think I would have got that, even though I saw one racing at Combe this year. Well, the more variey the better, though I'm stilll hoping for more 60s GT cars!

There's some pics of a race course in Hong Kong here. It's a street course, though it looks sweet!.

[gttouring]

i've heard that Silverstone should be on it, i assume it would be the Gran prix curcuit.

[Spaced Invader]

my boss at work lent me a PS2 magazine DVD preview of GT4 and it said that you could RUN you own race team on the game. how cool is that!?!

i heard (Rumour #4961463) Silverstone, Spa, Suzuka and Rolls Royce will all feature.

cars that i would love to be in the game are>

Marcos Mantara LM600 Evo
Morgan Areo 8
TVR Tuscan T440R
Ultima GTR
Any Ferrari
McLaren F1...

oh the list could go on and on...!

[Knowlesy]

You can't run yopur own race team....that idea has been scrapped.

Mount Fuji is on the game I think, although that was just a guess from the look of the track on a replay.

And....and....and.......he wants to include the old Nurburgring in Gran Turismo 5! Can't wait for that!

[krt917]

That would be great!

[moffman]

How about some old muscle cars from Australia which everyone knows are the best in the world.

[ASCII Man]

They drive cars in Australia?
I thought they still used the horse and chariot...

[Logrence]

Isn't that Belgium?

[Mark Webber]

How aboout BMW M3 has it finally made it into the game?

[Smokey 6 litre]

i assume the reason for no pictures being posted is copyright?

Unfortunatley i haven't many new cars, except the pescarolo courage peugot, and a couple of Jap ones that weren't in the last game.

It seems like the final car list is a very carefully manged secret.

I have seen this list before, but if I am remember this well the list is not right.

[Smokey 6 litre]

it may not be, but i've checked a few lists and they all seem to say more or less the same thing.

[krt917]

I'd really like to see some of the cars on that list, but on the granturismo website they have a working list where they are putting on cars that they know or think might be on the game and, so far, most of the cars on the above list are not on it. Their list isn't complete though, so there's still hope.....

[Mark Webber]

no Subaru's that I saw but a hell of a list hope it happens

From Gamespot.com:

The Prologue Edition will feature five courses--New York, the Grand Canyon, an Italian town, and Japan's Fuji Speedway and Tsukuba Circuit--which were seen in previous demos of Gran Turismo 4. The New York course will be centered on Times Square, while the Fuji Speedway will be a reproduction of the real course before it underwent massive remodeling. While the Tsukuba Circuit is well-known in Japan, this will be the first time that the course will be included in the GT series. About 50 cars will be selectable in the Prologue Edition which, while a vast selection for a racing game, is still small when considering that the final GT4 will feature over 500 vehicles.

While Gran Turismo 4: Prologue Edition is sure to attract hardcore fans, developer Polyphony Digital also hoping it will attract new players as well. Producer Kazunori Yamauchi commented that one of the difficulties in continuing the series was in trying to make each new release more new-player friendly while expanding the game' scope and complexity. The Gran Turismo 4: Prologue Edition features a new "Driving School" mode which will offer players lessons on how to steer and other rules of the road.

Although the Prologue Edition is only a sample of the full Gran Turismo 4, SCE emphasized that the title will be richly featured and worth more than a simple demo. Yamauchi commented that Gran Turismo 4: Prologue Edition has about the same volume as a normal racing game, but is priced at a low 2,980 yen ($27.28), compared to the 5,800 yen ($53.18) to 6,800 yen ($62.25) that a regular game retails for in Japan.

Yamauchi also commented on the full edition of Gran Turismo 4. He talked about how the developers focused not only on the cars, but also the scenery surrounding the courses. (An example of the scenery can be seen in the Prologue edition of the Grand Canyon course, where the game recreates 25 miles of the landmark.) Another factor that the development team focused on was the characters in the game, such as the drivers, pit crews, and audience. In order to make the human movement more realistic, Gran Turismo 4 will use a physics engine similar to the one used to simulate the cars' movement in the game. The human engine program went under development five years ago and has finally reached a useable level, but Yamauchi said that it will take another 10 years for the engine to be perfected.

I dunno if this has been mentioned, but I heard that GT4 is to include bikes...

No, GT4 will not have bikes, but Polyphony will make a new game with only bikes. Probably it uses the GT4 game engine, so this will also be a great game.

[krt917]

I hope the fact that they're looking at the scenery and pit-crew etc will mean that playability and the depth of the car lists are compromised. I'm all for things looking nice, but there have been other games series which have lost their way by concentrating too much on 'the look'. I have faith in sony, so hopefully it won't happen with the Gran Turismo series.
