Free Gran Turismo 4 Demo at Toyota.com

[DriftChamp]

I'm not sure if this is a playable demo or if it's just a a movie demo they'll send you. Go to www.toyota.com. From there, select Vehicles --> Brochures --> Request A Brochure. I chose the Prius as the car. After you submit the information, one of the items on the results page should be "Gran Tourismo 4 DVD - Valid to Fulfill."

[GizmoDVD]

Let me guess, with Toyota cars right? Yipee! ;)

[GizmoDVD]

Yep. One is an indy type car, and the other just a regular one.

[Josh H]

cool, thanks for the heads up.

[The Franchise]

Great. Thanks :)

So is this a playable DVD or a video only DVD?

[edstein]

When I submitted it did not give me the DVD option. I set the purchase date to 7 months or more though. I submitted it again with a purchase date of 1 month or less and it worked.

[Spy021]

Must be getting hammered... I keep getting a Service Unavailable message. :(

[Quake1028]

Success! Thanks :).

[Kaiser Soze]

Great find! I am looking into hybrid cars anyway. :)

[Decker]

Worked for the Prius -- not for the Solara. Weird.

[ElementZ]

Canadians need not apply :(

[gcribbs]

I am actually interested in a Prius anyway.

Thanks :)

[Gallant Pig]

I requested the Spyder and the Matrix.

[cheapskate]

So is it a playable demo, or a video demo?

(for the millionth ****** time!)

Never mind...

It's already been posted... and yes you do get a GT4 Prologue Demo. I already got mines in the mail a couple weeks back. You can drive a prius or a wierd ass lookin' car. You have a 2 minute time limit and you have two courses to try.

Thanks to cheapassgamer! :D

[Decker]

6/2 for me

[flashburn]

Also ordered on 6/2.

After playing this demo, I hope the final version is much improved.

Forget the demo... how was the BROCHURE? ;)

[ME2]

Demo is very good, obviously sparse, but hey something free and fun to keep me busy.

[edstein]

2 cars and 2 tracks. I'm not sure I like the tire meters though.

[Decker]

Ugh, my Solara brochure, sans demo came in the mail today, but my Prius one with demo didn't. :(

[The Franchise]

My impressions:
- Control already feels much more different than GT3. Seems more "real" in a way and more responsive. It could be a placebo affect since they've told us that the game would be more realistic, but I felt that it was anyway.
- Graphics look much improved as well. Texture detail looks better and the crowd animations even as 2D figures adds a lot to the atmosphere. It would be nice if the crowd tracked your car as it went by rather than just looking in a default direction. I like how you can zoom in the camera in replay mode. Resolution seems higher as well.
- Loading times are waaaay faster than GT3 which is a good things. Felt like cart loading times.
- Narrow grand canyon course really added to the sense of speed. I can't wait to play some of the narrow road courses
- The HUD for that prototype car is way too complicated. Is there anyway to turn it off? What do those gauges mean anyway. I know some are wheeel slip and power, but what is that "gravity" indicator all about? It's too out of the way to even look at.

Doesn't look like most of us will be getting the demo disc as I just got this e-mail for toyota.


Thank you for your recent request for a brochure with a Gran Turismo GT4 demo disc. Your interest in our vehicles is important to us, so we wish to give you a status update on your order.

Regrettably, we will not be able to fulfill your request. The popularity of the GT4 promotion surpassed our expectations, resulting in a demand for the demo discs that exceeded our supply.

As an alternative, you may access electronic brochures for various vehicles at the following links:

[spankyj]

Yeah - I had given up hope on this actually coming a long time ago.

If only I had read the thread earlier!

[young]

you guys aren't missing out... it's not that great a demo.

Yeah, the demo is based on an early build. I got my demo just a few days after I requested a brochure. What's crazy though, is that a lot of these "free" demos are selling for over $20 on ebay.

I know...

I played mine once, wasn't particularly impressed, so I put it up on eBay and got over $20 for it! :eek:

eBay buyers are K-RAY-ZEE ... bring it on! :D

[young]

hm... i didn't even think about selling it on ebay...
