Ohh yeah, nice one there. Unfortunately the PAL version is less polished. As you were going through the race menus, there were mistakes right? Well the western version has those problems fixed. However I don’t like how the western version is only Imperial and not Metric. I live in Canada so that’s what I’m most familiar with. When it comes to miles as in speed, I understand it pretty well, but miles as in distance feels like trying to teach a chimp how to use a cell phone. Kilometres in distance is what I know better.

I remember the first License Test. Just...uuuuuugh. C’moooooonnn, GOOOOOOO!!! Then you had to do it AGAIN with a Dodge Viper. I little faster, so not as bad, but still...I get that a very basic test is a forgiving start for beginner players, but at least give us a bigger time limit for Gold. With the Volkswagon Beetle, I can barely get Bronze. With the Dodge Viper I can barely get Silver.

EL GRANDE MEMELORD Because time costs money. Furthermore, being a launch title is a huuuuge boost to sales, especially before the mass migration to PC that is happening now. GT3 was sort of the flashy prototype to GT4, but note that GT4 didn't come out until 2005 (in the US at least) and PS3 launched in 2006. Had Sony/Poloyphony waited and only released GT4 (calling it GT3, naturally), they would've missed out on a ton of sales over the life of the system, not to mention being a Sony company meant they wanted the game to sell systems early on as well. I'm glad we got GT3 and GT4, while GT4 is more comprehensive and has better force feedback wheel support (first to support 900 degree rotation), GT3 is somehow better looking and plays much better with a controller in my opinion. In fact, it might be the best Gran Turismo to play with a standard controller.

I remember when the ps2 first came out. My old man stood in line with $300, for hours. GT3 was the second game he got for it. There were so many hours spent on this game. If play all of the endurance races on the weekends, turn on the massive stereo we had and sit in the video rocker, yes an actual quality rocker, and get lost in the game. Honestly my favorite game of all time.

I loved the fact they kept some of the American muscle, the game still holds up against 4, 5 and 6 I think. It's more fun! Edit; Complex string was AWESOME. My favourite track along with Trial Mountain being a close second.

This was genesis for me. I'm sure I had some exposure to GT2 not long after I was born, but this is the game I remember sitting down and playing through with my dad shortly after it came out. It also introduced me to the car that started my love for cars, the Viper GTS-R Team Oreca. This game and that car will always hold a special place in my heart.

I disagree. It is easier to gain money and I agree with that, but the rubberbanding is ridiculous sometimes. 3 and 4 dont have rubberbanding at all, they allow you to blast through with powerful cars or with weaker cars (especially on 4 with the A-Spec points. They only serve as a template for how difficult or easy a race will be, being 1 point a easy race and 200 a difficult one. Although it doesnt have any function, people still try to make gameplays and speedruns with max A-Spec points), the difficulty is very adjustable. Newer titles reintroduced rubberbanding, but not as awful as PS1 titles.

No, it had on all versions and even Kaz said how he had to use rubberbanding at the time to save processing power. The difference is that it is not extreme as Mario Kart or Need for Speed games. On GT1 and 2, even if you tuned the cars to the max potential, all competitors would do the same, in contrast to GT 3 and 4 which allow the player to choose difficulty, making the races harder (stock) or easier (tuning). GT4 evolves this with A Spec points which you have a direct notion how difficult a race can be and even if these points dont serve any purpose, many people like to try to gain max A Spec points.

that intro man. Nostalgia

I have fond memories of playing though the simulation mode of this game, with my dorm roommate in college, we both happened to really like the series already, and we really had a good time and bonded over that initially, I had the PS2 (and the tv and the sound system, lol) , but I think we like split the cost on the game... and we would each make progress while the other was away at class or whatever, but then at night we would still be into it and be playing it together, handing it off either after succeeding or failing at a race... I believe we were hellbent on using Auidis for some reason I can't remember lol... some of them get really challenging, and that's what made it so great, because we could show off to each other in a way that we both appreciated.

Colourshed I thank you as I started to collect and play old ps2, xbox and xbox 360 games. I just got myself a ps2. My console collection is PS2, PS4, PS5 and Xbox 360.
