After the greatness of Burnout 3: Takedown, and the pretty amazing simulations of Colin McRae 2005 and Richard Burns Rally, is anyone still anticipating Gran Turismo 4?? Hype for this game seems to be at an all-time low after all of the delays. And the recent news of no online multiplayer seems to have gotten people down.
Any thoughts?

WoW! AND GT3:aspec was disappointing? It was only the greatest racing game ever made. Ever. Made. Poloyphony are genius, like Kojima and Shinkawa [MGS] THEY RULE GAMING!
...Poor Killzone - no respect...

When people get a demo or something, or when it goes gold, I think many gamers are gonna go CRAZY with anticipation. Drool, everywhere. Woo! I can't wait!

I do care about GT4 a lot. Or to put it right....I did. San Andreas has been taking my mind off GT4 completely & now I won't have time to even worry about GT4 for the next 20 years! (Yup! San Andreas is THAT GOOD!)
sorry for screwing up the thread topic..I just had to express my utter amazement for SA.

Our associate editor from England just sent me this excerpt from EDGE Magazine, which scored the game 7/10:
Gran Turismo 4 is fundamentally unconcerned with furthering the art of the videogame. This titanic franchise, this critical, load-bearing pillar of PlayStation, is barely even a videogame at all. It’s a hobbyist software suite, a racetrack tutorial, an encyclopaedia you can get in and drive off. [March 2005, p.78]
Ouch! That can be taken as a postive, I suppose, but "a hobbyist software suite"?? Damn!

reviews are not great...because it is essentially just an update for gt3...more cars more tracks. I dont think there is alot more new other than that. But who cares...it didnt need to be much better.The perfect balance between realistic and non-realisitc racing.

I was blown away by GT 1 in 1997, I bought GT2 without questions or hesitations, GT3 came along with my PS2 which i played madly for many months in a row....but now with GT4 i just don´t know, the GT3 fell, the lack of online features and damage engine made me look around for new stuff until GT5 on the PS3.

GT4 is the best GT to date because it has alot of cars, the character of GT2, the originality of the first, amazing graphics to rival the XBox, incredible attention to deatil and a sense of speed [unlike GT3]. The handling is spot on, its realistic but at the same time accessable and as im in the UK we get a slightly better version than the USA and Japan [Extra cars, B-Spec mode for endurance races]. People do care about it too, how about 8million sales in the first 2days on sale in Japan, Europe and America? It's still the greatest game on Earth, and EVERY reveiew in Europe states this, except EDGE, which tested a early Japanese copy in a different language and always, always, always give a bad review for a gud game that has been hyped up for the sake of being different and getting magazine sales, except they dont, because everyone buys the official PS2 mag because every single review i have read is spot on.
