OK, so I've been doing a lot of research on the Prize Car List, and the Used Car Listing Cycle (again, for the USA version), and after doing so, I've fleshed out my goals for this gamesave a little more. Many of them are unchanged (from my previous post), but some of them have changed completely.
Basically, my goal is to build a gamesave that will allow the player to drive any car that is available for use in this game (there are some vehicles that appear as opponents, but are unavailable for use).
There are more than 700 vehicles (unique Year/Make/Models) that a player can use in GT4. Many of them appear in the Dealer/Tuner Showrooms, and around 275 of them appear in the Used Car Lots (during different weeks). For winning all races and championships, there's more than 18 million $Cr awarded in prize money. This is more than enough to buy every unique Used Car, and still have enough left over to buy any other car in the showrooms (thus, allowing the player to drive any car), as well as any mods that they might want.
So, while playing this game, it'll be important to stay mindful of the used cars that are available for that week, as some of them only appear a handful of times during the 700 day cycle. It's my goal to try to pick up the lowest mileage representative of each, but there are a few cars that I can't do this for, unless I'm willing to "waste" another 700 days to cycle through the Used Car Listing (and I'm not). There are two weeks in particular that affect this, Week 67 and Week 75.
During those weeks, more than 7 of the lowest-mileage cars appear in the listings (there are 18 during week 67!!!). Since acquiring a car takes one day, I'll have to buy those other models during other weeks. Obviously, I won't be racing during weeks 67 & 75.
So, that's the most significant change to my goals, as I'm pretty much abondoning the "minimum Days" goal. The rest of them are pretty much unchanged... No Memory Card transfers, 100% wins without repeats (522 trophies), no cars sold, etc...
I'll post a list of all of the used cars, and the times I expect to buy them in a later post. There are still some things that need to be worked out, and I don't want to have to start from scratch (again). Meanwhile...
Have A Great Drive!
