Hmm ,yes i know online code is not very big, and I would have sacraficed a few cares or one track to get some sort of online play into the game... Ahh well, the game still amazed regardless..
do any of you even remember that the online portion of the game was pulled right before the release of the game... i know this because i was pissed about it.... then they planned on releasing a add on disc version but that never happened... take that however you wanna take it.. |
Actually, I believe I am wrong (have it the other way around) - GT4 has 3 times as many cars as GT3. GT3 had about 150 cars when it came out - there was a bit of an uproar, as GT2 had more cars - but GT3 cars were much better modelled (being a PS2 title), etc. GT4 upped the number of cars to about 500. BTW, GT3 easily outsold GT4 - GT3 is considered the best selling game on the PS2 (worldwide). I also own GT1, GT3 & GT4. GT4 really annoyed me and my mates (horrible menu system, loading times, etc...). One of my mates is a huge revhead (has a RX-7, with custom engine, he put a chip in it - takes it out on the circuit, etc.. ) and we were both SO disappointed when GT4 came out. We ended up playing GT3 instead. ... It was fairly well documented that Polyphony had lots of issues getting the game to run properly online on the PS2. It was going to be the big online killer app - but it never happened. It showed that online on the Xbox was a lot better than on the PS2 (which still supported modem connections). ... BTW, this is getting back to the topic of this thread - that DVD-9 is more than "sufficient" for this generation. When the next GT comes out, Sony will boast about the number of cars in the game - then boast that its only possible on BluRay. It may be true - but its also irrelevant. Its also almost guarenteed that they will online, downloadable content - and that extra cars/tracks will have to be purchased (just like they are now). When you have the extra space for BluRay - you can always find something to do with it. But its never essential to the core of the game, such that without BluRay - the game becomes impossible to create. |
