Gran Turismo 4: PSP vs. PS2

**KWD** · 02-03-2005

I've seen a few members post their plans on which system to buy for, and honestly I'm torn between the two. Hopefully I'm not the only one who can benefit from this. I'm leaning towards the PSP as of now because...well I'm not really sure.

**FmanFORPS3** · 02-03-2005

well, since its the best driving simulator ever created for a home console, im going to get it for both, PS2 and PSP.

**KWD** · 02-03-2005

That would be the simplest solution, but I'm not going to count on having the extra duckies to fork out for both. Also, beating it on both systems might be a nuisance, but I see GT4 as being one of those titles that has priceless replay value.

By the way, if you vote...please post your opinions and why you voted as you did. Thanks.

well I honestly dont want my sibilings to play with my PSP (this might sound a bit selfish though

) so that way if i get both versions, they could play with the console when i want to play with the PSP, but ofcourse I will still play on my console

The PSP version will be slightly different from the PS2 version. I will more then likely get both of them. That way I can still play GT4 when I'm not at home. Especially good since I might be going on a 5 week summer educational program and you can't bring consoles.

When will GT4 for PSP come out?

**Colonel Cortez** · 02-03-2005

Both of course!!!, there will be connectivity between the games

**FmanFORPS3** · 02-03-2005

I checked gamestop and they said GT4 for PSP is coming out May 1, 2005

**Colonel Cortez** · 02-03-2005

Lol, it wont be out my March 29th for sure, the PSP is coming on the 31st

**KWD** · 02-03-2005

No the PSP hits the US on the 29th. Hopefully GT4 will soon after.

Knowitman....do you know exactly what the differences will be? That's another reason I've been debating over this.

**knowitman** · 02-04-2005

The cars will have fewer polygons and maybe some fewer cars, but I think it will have differnet cars to make up for it. The scenery may have also been downgraded a bit, but on the smaller screen you won't notice it much if any at all.

**cyrusmg** · 02-04-2005

Hmm. What puzzles my is the recently much discussed idea of the PSP and PS3 being connected, and even communicating game information. In the event that you have both GT4 games, and were able to play the console version on the handheld, i could easily see the UMD version just being an extension of that game.

Thusly, the UMD game would go beyond the console version in cars, and maybe even plot (?) but would still have to fit back into the console version pretty seemlessly.

unless of course they just figure "Hey, its a game they all like, they'll buy no matter what we do", in which......i'll probably still end up buying them both.

**Jesus1** · 02-10-2005

The psp comes out the 24 of march

**Colonel Cortez** · 02-10-2005

He's right look here

**KWD** · 02-11-2005

I stand corrected.

Colonel, do you have any details or a source on the connectivity between the PS2 version and PSP version? As far as I'm concerned, that in itself is a very good reason to purchase both.

**Crimson_King** · 02-11-2005

yes PSP comes out march 24th, and as far as i've seen the release date for GT4 for PSP is TBA

**cyrusmg** · 02-11-2005

Still TBA but it looks like end of march, right along with PSP, or nearby

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/520622.asp

but there is no reason to have much faith in that date.

**Crimson_King** · 02-14-2005

oh well it seems that they do plan on releaseing it with the PSP and if not that then for sure very soon after. and if they dont im afraid it may hurt PSP sales.

New Armored Core 4 screens!
By: Justin Pinter

New screens have emerged for upcoming PS3 title Armored Core 4. The game features high flying mechs equiped with some of the largest guns in gaming. FromSoftware, the developers behind Armored Core 4 confirmed the titles appearance for the Tokyo Game Show, so expect to get new info and see new videos of the title soon.

images are on the server...along with thumb

Again, sorry for delay.

Maybe it would be a good idea in future to date the folder? So when we come to update with more images, it's easy to think of a new folder name.

So, for example, ArmoredCore4_1609

(or, I guess for you it would be ArmoredCore4_0916

)

Yeah, great idea. Let's put date in folder names.
