Does PAL GT4 have 60Hz?

No 60Hz. Fully optimized for 50Hz.

Thats just shit. What is it with some Japanese developers. 50fps and likely lower speed too.

What are the differences between the US and UK version?
 
Thanks.

Tough choice. I'll wait and see what people say about the speed differences. Is it so hard to put in a good 50Hz and a 60Hz mode?

May be worth getting the NTSC game for progressive if its taken out.
 
I'll take 50fps at PAL resolutions over 60fps at NTSC resolutions any day of the week, so long as the framerate's steady in both cases.

60fps good, 50fps bad is a kneejerk reaction to the abysmal quality of 50fps conversions done by certain large developers in the past. You know who you are.

Personally I won't be getting the PAL version for the reason that Deg brings up - I'd like to have the option of playing it on HDTV when I finally get one.
 
I couldn't wait for this game. But the purchase of RE4 and MGS3 comes first. Besides I have waited so long that now I don't have desires to play it..
Anyways 50Hz optimized is nice :)
 
Have'nt seen any framedrops or similar problems with my PAL version ... every 50Hz game should be like GT4. :)

aah, Iapetus succintly debunks the 'SFII turbo' myth. Thankyou.

I've bought it, because although I'm annoyed at lack of progressive, I'm not buying component cables just for one game. Plus then GT5 at PS3 launch will look even nicer :)
 
I'd take fully optimised PAL 50Hz over PAL 60/NTSC as well. The lower framerate of PAL is more than made up for with better resolution and colour reproduction. An interesting thing with optimising for PAL 50Hz though is making sure the timer runs at full speed. With Waverace: BS, while being optimised for PAL 50Hz (as in no borders and full game play speed) the game timer wasn't updated so a PAL Waverace:BS second was about 17% slower than a real second. As the game itself ran at the same speed as the NTSC version this allowed for some pretty ridiculously quick lap and race times.

really?!?!? ¬_¬u

Btw, GT4 Pal version is like the GT Concept PAL, one of the best, if not the best PAL conversions I have seen (of course, I have the NTSC versions of both too).

Yes there is one. I saw one in Gamestation today for £125

There are huge adds around here (Spain) for GT4, and on the corner they show the bundle for 179€ or something like that...

You 50Hz non progressive apoligists need to be shot dead.

Nah, we'll save that treatment for the "OMG!!1 60 is better than 50 because it's a bigger number!!1" crowd who can't tell the difference between a Squenix slow-down-and-borders conversion and the real thing, if you don't mind.
