Dude the gameplay setup is so much fun and addicting, and the racing is so fun. The game is realistic, so you can't go 100mph+ and make a sharp left turn or something stupid like that. The game rewards you for properly apexing the turns....braking right before entry, making the turn, and then accelerating out of it. Now you start off with some money and you buy some shit car. First you need to use that car to get the proper licenses to participate in some races. You get a license by going to the DMV and doing a section of a track in a certain amount of time. Once you meet all the requirements, you get your license and you can start racing. You race your car and you come in 1st to move onto the next race, but you also get $$$ for winning races. You use that money to modify your car to make it faster and shit...and it's like rice, because each mod adds a certain amount of hp, and the mods are different per car. Once you've won mad races and you have mad loot, you use the money to buy a new car and participate in different races. Different races have different requirements...for example, some are "roadster only" races, or "FR Cup" which is like Front engine, Rear wheel drive cup. And then there is "MR Cup" which is Mid engine and Rear wheel drive. But you can use a Boxster for the "Roadster" cup and for the "MR Cup" since the Boxster meets both requirements. It's just mad fun and addictive....

While looking at info on the wheel setup, I caught this over @ EBGames.com:
New "High Score" System – The player who wins a race is not necessarily the one who captures the checkered flag, but graded on how well they drive and challenge themselves among the competition based on their car type, horsepower and modifications related to the race field.
[???1] I hope that works out better than it sounds... as long as they don't delay again, I'll be a happy guy!

They only take so long because they just put SOOOOO much into the game. Each car makes sounds that are accurate to real life, and then when you do a mod to each car, that improves the car also. Like when you install the lightweight flywheel, your engine revs much faster. Or when you install a turbocharger you can hear the blow-off valve and shit like that. There are just SO many details that need to be accounted for...it's part of what makes the game so freaking amazing.
I have been lost since I came to school and stopped playing GT3. That game was the ultimate for me and I think that GT4 will be all the more beautiful. I really can't wait for my grades to drop when it comes out. I was going to go to palm springs for spring break but now I know what I will be doing instead. ![[clap]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_clap.gif "Clap [clap]")
Anyone know if the driving dynamics will be similar to the old game or will it be liike driving on "simulation" tires all of the time??? Anything that they do will be fine, but I just want to know beforehand if I should be making bets on the new game like I used to on GT3. (You wouldn't believe the people that thought they could easily beat me and get my car (the "ferrari 360" lookalike, EEII i think or suptin)!)

no like next tuesday, not next year.
IMHO, the ds2's d-pad will get you the fastest lap times, bc
a) the game was designed around it.
b) you can easlily switch between full left and full right.
Good points, the resale value of your whip after you buy it is complete shit. Even if you mod it up, it's a complete rip-off on your part. Hopefully things will be better next time.
Btw, I wouldn't say they are Skyline-biased. There are 800+ hp Skylines running around in Japan that are perfectly reliable. There is a video of where the Motegi Battle guys tested it out on the track and they were all just like, "It's too fast" hahhahahaha....never thought I'd hear them say anything like that!!
