Well, I managed to get GT4 yesterday even though it was delayed by fog. Finally got it at about 8:45 last night and only got to spend a couple of hours with it, so I can't really comment too intelligently on it, but my initial impressions are pretty good.

It's everything you'd expect from the GT series, pretty much the same format that GT3 had. The thing that stood out to me the most is they added a few setup options. You can add horsepower, top end speed and you can choose what type of tires to run. You can also choose to turn tire wear on and off, which is a pretty cool addition. You can also run with or without assists (traction control and stability).

I saw all that in arcade mode, so I don't know to what degree you can use these features in career mode, since I've only just begun to get my B license.

The handling seems really good, although the cars definitely seem to handle better in the in car cams than they do in the chase cam, IMO. The chase cam gives it a much to rigid feel, to me.

The steering with the DFP is awesome. I looked for some calibration options, and couldn't find anything significant, although I didn't look long for it. To me, the steering felt great as it was, so I'm not sure I'd change anything if I did find the options to change it.

The graphics are great, of course, but they don't look quite as good as the screen shots, on my TV anyway.

Looks like a great game!
