2000 cars for Gran Turismo 4??

omg!
'oh yes, it will be mine. it will be mine'

hmmm..this news didnt come out on the 11th did it???

2000 cars.. they'd better have a Datsun 120Y, complete with a rusted body, dodgy gearbox, and a "Disco sucks" bumper sticker on the back. This is another E3 rumour, which we'll have to wait and see if it turns out true. But if it was, it certainly sounds amazing. I remember reading something about GT3 - it took like 3 weeks to model just one car. That's why there were only 200 (I think?) in GT3.. Imagine all the work that's needed to fine tune and make sure 2000 cars feel like their real life counterparts..

Damage for cars hey, about time!
I remember reading something about the first 3 titles having trouble getting the actual car makers to license damage on their precious automobiles. Seems they thought images of their cars being damaged might make people believe they where unsafe. lol

Can't wait to destroy a 2 million dollar car while trying to slipstream my mates, woohoo!!

I think australia could benefit from some of those trained monkeys too Souri, damn I'll wear a monkey suit if it gets me a gig.

I think I'm a 32 waist on my monkey suit btw.

i defenity want older cars, they should make the game more like hotrod,
racing for pink slips, buying 2nd hand cars and working them, and buying parts out of the paper...
that was one of the best games.

I've been thinking about where Gran Turismo can go next as a car/driving simulator.. and I can come up with nothing else other than..

..fixing the damn cars yourself. [:)]

How about cards that flip? That should be included because of the damage to the cars I guess, but I've always thought it pretty stupid that it claims to be a real driving simulator but clamps the car to the ground when it looks like it's going to flip :P

Well it's not like they've got realistic vehicle dynamics either, yet it claims to be a real driving simulator :)

i sure hope they can get a mt panorama track for a bathurst 1000 race
but i doubt it :P

2000 cars that isnt true that means the game would be being built when the first gt was brought out. and i think that was such a good game when used cars were in it. but i do hope they bring more cars in but keep the bmw range down to a minimum.

-LOL-

was that the game they released in like 93 for the pc? set back in the 60s or some s*** right? and you could drag cars for pink slips, and if u drove it too hard u would drop your transmission? If so, i agree witchu lava monkey. Best car game i ever played.

2000 cars? I'll believe it when I see it... I'd be willing to bet that the majority will be slight variations of any particular model.
I also doubt there'll be any serious damage if it does make it into the game, some manufacturers won't allow it at all, and some will only allow very superficial damage so they'll have to draw the line somewhere... I do hope however if we do see damage, it'll affect the handling and performance of the cars.

im looking forward to it car damange or not (altough it would be really good)..
i went out and got a PS2 just for gt3 a couple months back to start it again. almost at 90% now (again) so should wrap it up in time for 4 :)

I actually checked on the actual figure for the cars on gt4, and my referance stated that more than 500 cars will be on the game, nowhere near 2000!!! And that the divercity of the cars will be greater, from old historic cars to new 2003 models.

And it also stated that physical car damage will not be included. Sorry to those who wished to totally screw up 2 million dollar cars [V]

Well those who want damage will just have to get an XBox and wait for PGR2 [;)] (BTW, that's the stupidest wink icon I've ever seen, no offence).
Seriously, damage is a nice feature but since it usually doesn't affect the gameplay on these semi arcade racers, I personally don't think it's that important.
