Ah damn I was hoping the screen shake was only limited to the JDM version. I get it every now and then during replays and rarely in-game. From what I know its GT4 pushing PS2 to its maximum limit.

I can't wait for GT5 for PS3.

Scot, get the wheel man, you won't regret it, trust me.

I found nitrouse surprisingly effective, I hit below 1 min@tsubuka in an S2K. , I don't like it at first, but it's damn good cheap horse power

How come there's no Ferrari's in the GT4? Are they locked? Or do they not exist in this game?


Also, does anyone think that playing the GT4 with a steering wheel actually makes one become a better driver in real life? I just bought the game & Logitech steering wheel yesterday and it was the 1st time I played any GT game. I wonder how realistic it is and whether it'll actually allow me to learn how to drive more aggresively/better.

I don't know how well playing GT4 will translate to the track on the weekends but the game sure seems really realistic when using the Driving Force Pro and sitting in a cockpit. The physics seems pretty spot on so far. (especially if you turn off all the traction control and stability management and stuff)

Oh man, the driving physics in GT4 is so much better than even GT3. And the Logitech wheel works a lot nicer too -- I can actually control slides now.

But man, the computer AI is pissing me off. I know it's no worse than GT3, but I don't feel like I can win races unless I A) buy enough horsepower to power past everybody or B) play bumper cars on every corner until I get to the front of the pack and can actually race cleanly without getting slammed into.

Also I'm having serious money-saving issues. I keep buying cars I don't need to win!

$50 for a new one. I doubt there will be any used ones floating around since the game only came out just a few days ago.
