jo, also die info will ich nicht vorenthalten:
"Technik des Gran Turismo 4 Online-Modus fertig
15.03.05 - Gran Turismo 4 Click Picture-Produzent Kazunori Yamauchi von Polyphony Digital hat in einem Interview mit Computer & Videogames bestätigt, dass der Online-Modus des Rennspiels aus technischer Sicht startbereit sei. Es würde jetzt nur noch auf die Planung ankommen, wann der richtige Zeitpunkt zur Veröffentlichung gekommen ist: Ob das noch in diesem Jahr ist oder erst in Gran Turismo 5 auf PlayStation3, kann er noch nicht sagen."

hier ein auszug aus dem interview:
"The game has been fantastically well received, although there are a number of high profile criticisms that have received a lot of attention, like the lack of an online mode and no car damage. How does it make you feel when people concentrate on these criticisms?
Kazunori Yamauchi: I totally understand these criticisms, but at the same time I must stress that the areas in which we have been criticised are the same areas that we did want to address at the start of development. For instance, if we are to implement a solid online play mode then first we must be able to rely on systems, support and infrastructure. We didn't think we were ready for that, so we had to take online out.
Then we come to car damage. We also planned to implement this feature in GT4 but we found that, technically, we could not do it to a level that satisfied our respect for the Gran Turismo brand.
Again I understand these criticisms, and I don't feel that these criticisms are unavoidable. But what I would like to say to people who have negative things to say about Gran Turismo 4 is that any features we removed were removed for very valid reasons.
How are you going to address these criticisms and in what kind of ways are you going to reward fans of GT for their patience?
Kazunori Yamauchi: Technically, the online mode is pretty much ready to go, so it's just a case of planning to release it when the time's right. Whether that's going to be this year, or on PS3 with GT5, we don't know yet.
Speaking of the online mode, we've heard that the guys at Polyphony Digital are always playing online in the office. What does online play add to the GT experience?
Kazunori Yamauchi: Playing against other human drivers adds so much life to the game over the single-player experience. The competition is far more intense, and far more satisfying. But more importantly than that, it's more fun. Being able to dis your opponent with your driving and your voice is great fun, and adds a whole new dimension to the game. That's what we all do at Polyphony - make fun of each other!
Unfortunately, due to the technical limitations of the PS2 and the high standards we hold for the GT brand the time was not right to allow everyone to enjoy that with GT4."
