    Sega GT 2002, initial impressions

    the only way i can use my gt concept is to floor it on straights then brake hard just before corners, then just barely apply any throttle until you're straight again.

    Sega GT 2002, initial impressions

    thanks, i was curios about the used parts. and the a.i. is another thing that i really like, in sega gt if you're taking the inside line the a.i. will usually back off and let you in in gt3 they just drive like you're not even there. it's nice to see that finally the a.i. has some intelligence...

    Sega GT 2002, initial impressions

    so who else is dying for sega gt 2002?

    i can't say for sure about the in car view (i don't have it yet:angry: ) but i believe it will have the gt3 style in car (no dash) view. i did see some early videos that did show the hood, which i like better than full in car type views anyway but i don't know if it made it to final product or not.

    so who else is dying for sega gt 2002?

    well, considering the fact that racing games are what i play almost exclusively (save a couple of fps) i am waiting for this game as impatiently as i waited for gt3. why is it that the last week or so is the hardest part of the wait :angry: . i'm hoping that this game has a mid 80s supra, cause...
