So to keep this forum alive, and i know its not a true sim, who in England
is looking forward to GT4...

I know I am..

I certainly am, and have been for over year now... :o(

However, I think there might be some competition in the way of Konami's up
and coming game:

Did anyone see the hack that will allow GT4 to actually run multiplayer
over the internet? That was a feature dropped by the developers, but it
can be done by using a program similar to the old KALI multiplayer utility.
I don't have the magazine with the details, but GT4 will have LAN
mulitplayer and the KALI clone will open the internet by imitating a LAN
enviroment.

I'm not in England but am looking forward to the game. FiringSquad
(www.firingsquad.com) just did a review and the only downside is that
it won't support the Logitech MOMO wheels. So I guess I need to buy a
new wheel strictly for GT4. :(

I am VERY e***d about GT4. I dug up my original pre-order payment
receipt and it was over 1.5 years ago! Scary...

I was considering the Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel to compliment
GT4, and when I heard the original Nordschleife is in it I decided I
would definitely be getting the wheel.

Well - that's why you get special sauce (aka Driving Force Pro) ;).
I've been considering picking up a console for some quick *** fun -
was going to get a Gamecube because they're so damn cheap, but GT4 may
sway me to a PS2.

I`ve got a logitech driving force pro, and have enjoyed using it on GT4
prologe... I have also frexed mine out, so cant wait to try it..

Man, Enthusia looks great!

The have some video on Real world car physics -vs- In game. Very cool
demonstration!

I hadn't even heard of this title yet. I guess every so often I come out
from under my rock! ;)

Looks like I'll buy both GT4 and Enthusia!

Thanks for the heads up.

It's had virtually no advertising that I know of, in all the fanboy PS2
newsgroups it's never mentioned (no "badassness" I suppose).

I do wonder if Sony put back GT4 to get more info on Enthusia, certainly
they've introduced a G-meter which was a major +1 for Enthusia.
Also, they've both got Nurburgring.
I do think there's going to be a lot of comptetition & comparisons between
these games, I only hope the new boys (Konami) are up to it and the old dogs
(Sony) have got thier arses in gear now they've got competition...

Having both GT Force and GT Driving Force, I can see me losing most of the
month these two puppies are released... ah well, the Girlfriend has got
pilates. heh.

As an aside, Konami are doing a GTA clone/copy/version so I'd say they're
gunning for major growth this year...

I decided to purchase my Logitech Driving Force Pro last night in exitement
for the arrival of GT4 :) It's only $105 on Amazon.com! and if you're
willing to wait (unlike me) free shipping!

Thanks,
Alex

Don't forget the $20 combined GT4 purchase coupon.

and the new PC drivers that give you the highest resolution for a force
feedback device on the market apparently - i was getting 16000 raw input
readings in a 360degree range of motion!
