I can't understand why they put the Prius in the game. Then again, I can't understand why they put a 1988 2 door Honda Accord in the game either

Its a promotional thing, that's why the Prius is in there.

Thanks for the info

Maybe in addition to career and time attack they will also feature a get the most gas mileage challenge.

The trick is to slowly build up speed on the downhills for the upcoming hills, and of course the crack that gives you a 50 gallon tank.

rofl The only place in a race car game that a Prius should roll down is a hill and off a cliff

Not a Prius, here's a 408 hp Toyota hybrid that does 0-60 in 4 seconds, and which can get 32 mpg.

To bad the game hasn't been ported to XBox like GTA Vice City. I could actually try the game all you PS2 fan boys have been bragging about all these years.

Um, Sony publishes the game. Why the hell would they port a franchise game over to a competing system?

And as such, PS2 > XBOX

If I hear correctly, Mitsu made a huge push and some other benefits for putting the lancer in GT3... 2-3 years later it had a very welcomed release in the US and most people credit that to the car being in the game.


Toyota probably struck some deal where they said Sony could use the likeness and name of another car IF and ONLY IF they put other certain cars in the game.

 

[TitanDiddly]

Cool, ordered one.

I read some article about the development of GT4 and there is interesting stuff about politics in there. For example, there are no ferraris because the license fee is too high, but most manufacturers these days ask to have their cars put in. Also, the agreements with some manufacturers says they don't allow crash damage/sequences in the video game.

Yup.

I know about the crash/ damage stuff.

The manufactures would look bad on having people crash their cars and have visible damage on them. I just think it makes for more realism.

Actually, I was asking if someone has a link to the article.
