Why is this a big deal?Well, I've seen the trailer where two Prowlers were racing through a city, and it is amazing! The Prowlers in this game have the top down and you can clearly see a helmeted driver sawing away at the wheel. GT4 should have over 650 cars from 80 manufacturers. Imagine giving your Prowler virtual upgrades and seeing how it performs on the track. Two new modes are: 1) You can manage a race without actually driving. Just command your driver to pass or to drive aggressively or not. Sit back, drink some coffee and manage your team of Prowler racers! 2) This is a big one....You can now photograph your car after pulling it up to a scenic site. Epson is going to make two different printers that will print your GT4 pics right off your PS2! You can also select another photo variation where your car is photographed in motion with speed blur effects etc. The mind reels at all the possibilities. I hope they have a Black Tie!

Tangled....I wonder if visual upgrades are available....add an Air Patriol or shimmers? LOL....Dr. I play on a 55" TV...whoooo. Have you heard of Burnout 3? Supposedly the highest rated, most intense videogame racer for PS2. Cars are not licensed so they have spectacular crashes you will never see in GT4. I need to pick it up as the reviews are so high for the game. Also if you had 2 TV's, Two PS2's, and a link cable, you can play two head racing without split screen! I have all the equipment but never tried it yet. This message has been edited by Black Tie 161 on 11-16-2004 at 10:10 AM

Never heard of the Burnout 3....GT has been my favorite since it first came out!Even the sound of the cars is realistic.We play in the rec room on the 51"and with the lights dimmed it's a pretty neat effect.Having 2 TV's hooked up would be awesome...but you need lotsa room etc.

Very cool! Burnout 3 is a new very very highly rated racing game where the crashes are beyond spectacular. The sense of speed is supposed to be way beyond the feel of GT. Cars look familiar but not licensed so you can smash the $#@! outta them while driving like a nut through city streets. I have a 27" next to my 55" but I never hooked up the link cable....everybody is always so busy we never could carve out the time to try it...
