GT4 PS2 and PSP details from Edge. #1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

Edge has a n interview with Kazunori Yamauchi, this month the most
interesting points being,

GT4 online was up and running but they didn't think it was technicallly
possible to get a stable game world wide. The online component will not
appear soon and they think it needs a 1mbs connection to make it what they
want.

The six car limit remains because the high technical standards they employ
means the PS2 can't do any more. adding 3d credible models of humans also
meant the car number stays at 6.

The game offers Pro Logic 2 in game only.

"The physics engine has been totally rewritten for GT4, making the cars feel
more natural, my goal was to be able to allow an old women to be able to
drive a car in our game as long as she doesn't try to go to fast, just like
in everyday life I guess." "People who are used to GT3 maybe will stick with
that game"

"The AI cars are more natural and less aggressive, so much more polite"

"I'm pretty confident we'll have the same physicsw on the PSP. The problem
comes with the games graphics. I think we won't be able to keep the same
number of cars on screen with the same level of grahical quality. I guess
we're looking at four, maybe even three cars on screen at the same time. In
a worse case scenario we'll have two!"

"The PSP has meant that development cycles have changed as they have another
platform to deal with and it makes our work harder."

ah haaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaa haaaaaaaa

it gets worse and worse.
