RE: GT4 pics i hope it is as good as it looks
As far as driving simulation games go, I would rate GT3 amoung the best. From the realistic trimming of a F1 car, to the actual torque steer of a FWD car, it is very close to real, as my couch will ever get.
Now, when I first got into gaming, it was driving sim's only, on an old PSone...GT2. It was "ok" for me, but it got boring. Then I got a PS2, because it played the old games, and was a DVD player.
I highly advise you use this tactic to enduce the common sense purchase when expaining its neccesity to your significant other.
I also advise you immediately go online to obtain the cheat codes, or get a shark card. Not because "cheating" is fun, but so you can do both...play the game as a career from the beginning, or just go into arcade mode with all the "unlocked cars and tracks" to just get a little wild, without having to play the game for 300 straight hours to achieve that cool little F60!
I'm there. I dont think the graphics will be "that" good, but in a way, that is probably better. otherwise, my real car will never get used.
