freakysoarer Regular Location: QLD Registered: March 2003	Previewing Gran Turismo 4... Wed, 14 January 2004 07:21 Hi Guys... Just received a couple of games today, and one of which is the "Prologue" of the Highly Anticipated GT4... and since I know some of the forum junkies here are fans of the game... I thought it would be cool to do a review. Since GT4 has not been officially released(the date rumored to be april 2004), this "Prologue" provides what is to come. The game being only a preview, has only 5 tracks and 10 cars... with only arcade mode in 1 player. Thus, I can only give a review of the gameplay/graphics itself. And let me tell you that if you think GT3 was fantastic, the sequel will knock your socks off. The rendering is superb, surpassing the latter version, which I thought was impossible(as it was already in a league of its own in terms of driving sumulators) given the limitations of PS2's rendering capabilities. Once again the people behind the GT series have broken the barrier and impressed even me...(I was a fan of the series and completed all previous games) The reving of cars differ... from low sounding Rex's boxer to the GTR's high pitched version. The rendering of the cars itself was astonishing... the reflections and the anti-aliasing used was unparalleled by anything I have seen on PS2 games... The rendering of the courses were also improved... with different textures added... even gravel/pebbles were included... But words are incapable of describing the graphics... So, I grabbed my gamepad and drove a lap of the 'New York' course, 1 of the 5 courses available... using the old MR2, as it was the only Toyota vehicle available... and recorded the replay. The rest is history... enjoy! I did! The file is not compressed to retain its quality as any lower in resolution and you will not be able to appreciate the video, so broadband users, you are in luck. The file is hosted by my server, so it should be super-fast... Even this video cannot do justice to the graphics.... as it is recorded from the TV. The video file is in AVI format and can be opened using Windows Media Player. Just click on the link below... http://www.users.on.net/broomfield/GT4_MR2_replay. avi [Report message to a moderator]
