Bro, we are on the same wave length about GTR2 :D. The physics are just plain good. Nothing "happened to it" its just an almost 20 year old game lol, but a lot of us still play it and mod it. Kinda like GT4, lots of us still play it. Search for gtr2 tracks and you'll come across all kinds of forums where people still play, mod and discuss gtr2. No Grip is where we all used to hang out but its long gone now. I still mainly play GTR2 because the chase cam is just plain better than Assetto, the chase cam in Assetto is only good for drifting for me cause its kind of floaty. If it wasnt for that poor chase cam I would probably have migrated to Assetto already. Idk what happened but the cockpit cams in most games make me nauseous these days, so I can only play in chase cam now. I grew up playing only in cockpit cams with a wheel, but something clicked in my brain where I just cant do it anymore lol. So its only controller and chase cam for me these days and GTR2 handles controller just fine. I agree that controller support is ass in AC, you have to change so many settings...PER CAR....PER MOD, its just not worth the effort for a controller. Graphics wise, reflections on the cars is mainly all that's missing from it, I would mod that in myself if I knew how to but I don't. But the tracks all still look pretty decent especially when you mod the game for higher track side objects and higher textures. Most new games put specular and bump maps on every texture, if someone were to go back and put spec and bump maps on everything in the tracks, and add better vegetation, then the majority of the tracks and track mods would still look pretty modern. I change the lighting in most mods and the game looks so much better with better lighting. Im also updating the vegetation on some of them and it looks better right away. You can see this in Mid Ohio and Sebring made by VLM. They still look pretty modern. You can even compare the trees in VLM Lemans and FM7 and the trees look better in GTR2 cause the artists at VLM just took their time with it. I'm gonna clean up and update a lot of models and textures for GTR2 and then make 4k videos of it. As long as shadows are present and the jaggies are cut down a lot of older games can still look pretty good

Seria o pior acidente da história do automobilismo

I agree, and I played it a lot, but at the time I was into motorcycles. So when Tourist Trophy came out, using the same engine, I immediately became blood-crazed. I bought the game and played in high school break 8 hours a day for 1 month .... I would still go out with friends at night, but 14:00 - 22:00 would be TT time. Anyway, in August or September 2006 I checked forums + YT, no one had better times than me for 4 tracks, Trial Mountain, Laguna Seca and the other 2 I can't remember. I am extremely proud of this and have told both my wife and child.

This was my go-to sim throughout university. I got it because it came bundled with GT Legends, (GT Legends being a bonus game, but the one I was actually after) I'm a big fan of vintage racing, but I was never too fond of the game progression in GT Legends. So I tried GTR2 and I was blown away. And then a year or 2 later I saw an article in a magazine (I think it was Automobile) talking about the power and glory mod and that became my new bread and butter. And then the mods! I recently reinstalled it and I am absolutely captivated by the physics of GTR2. It's just so good

is anyone still racing GTR2 online?

BACON BACON! *train suddenly goes mach1*

Brother you are gonna be either 5-6 years late

*Senna não esta morto* * ele esta presente em nossos corações, todo mundo venceu uma corrida, a corrida 🏎️ da vida*

your accent is like that of Serj from System

Agreed - 20 years later and I’m loading it up on PCSX2 and starting from scratch once again

Gran turismo 4 absolutely 100% is the best racing game that ever has been made and will ever be made

Guardrail moment

so did this dude die or something

The Yellow Evo 5 surprisingly also is Akari Kito's favourite car. She still remembered her PTSD while watching Demon Slayer after the noise of EVO V came in.

This is part of yt history

Hope u check out the spec 2 mod

GT4 was better but I played GT5 more. I played PS3 more in general as a teenager. So it’s not shocking.

Damn GT4 is almost 20 years old 😮

The best ERA from racing games:

Your car list looks different, is this outside the main game mode I haven't done that?

the FIA GT series never had a race in Africa

I love a twitchy rare....... I said what I said

💯 on AC controller issue. I think I played GTR 2 like 10 years. best racing sim ever made in my opinion.

14:00 oh thats why its so shit i got assetto like 3 years ago and have tried to play it 4 times and given up every time because its dog shit didnt know that was because it was controller only gotten 3 hours over all that time

im buying this game NOW it looks incredible and im buying their other games lol

Forza Motorsport 4 is The Holy Grail of Racing Videogames.

Part of the issue comes from the fact that in spite of the cramped dimensions, the roof is rather tall, to the point that Jeremy Clarkson could drive around in it.

I still play this game. In person with my friends for multiplayer. And single player. (So much.) The level of geek I have gotten to with this game is unreal. I have street cars that can break 10 second 400m. On sports tires. I have race cars that can go over 300 MPH. I have setups that I have been working on for years. (RGT) I'm not even the best racer. But my cars are so well set up. I can be a significant danger to many other racers just on my clever car choices. I know what the fastest 400m is in the whole game. Edit: The Tarmac CZ3 race car. Fight me. But I also know which car has the fastest 400m of several different classes of car. I know who has the best grip, the most agressive nos response, the strongest turbo, ect. I have all the stats mapped out. With cars in my garage to demonstrate each record and talent. I wonder if the online servers are still up. Would be cool to test some of my more creative builds. I liked this video. You got a new sub today. Thanks for this. Also, I agree, GT4 is the everest of racing games. None more enjoyable anywhere. Thanks for reading my novel.😊

No its not. At no point during the play through is the game actually challenging.

As a GT fan I cannot agree. Cannot save during a long endurance race. An absolute deal breaker. This is the only GT game I've not completed 100% and it is because of this one thing.

I miss 2017

Old and still Gold

I've been playing GTR2 since pretty much the release of the game. I still have the original disks, although I use a no CD patch nowadays to spare my disks. But it's always been on my hard drive for as long as I can remember. It's a fantastic sim and it deserves every bit of praise it receives. More people should try it. And as you say despite it's dated graphics, it has moments when it looks, if not like a contemporary sims but one that's a few years behind. Well worth it. More people should experience this title, and if I may, also bring up SimBin's other masterpiece (in my opinion at least) Grand Prix legends. Although you can get that experience in GTR2 alone with the Power & Glory mod pack, for the most part at least. Great sim, great video. I'm happy to see that there are still people out there that care for this piece of gaming history. I know this comment's been all over the place, and might seem quite incoherent, but I tried.

The best racing game 4ever...

underrated series

Honestly I can't Accept the controller roasting for Assetto Cosa. I never had problems with it nor did I need to play hundreds of hours to get used to it. After I adjusted the config to my liking it felt like the best racing game you can play on the controller. FH5 for example assists you way too much and the wheel speed isn't adjustable enough so it always feels like some cheap mobile racing game where you feel out of touch with the car itself.

your comedy and education on gran turismo earned the like..... your clear love for the ultimate car in the world, the Great Toyota Supra..... earned the subscribe !!

My theory is that it's about the Game's name itself can be mixed up with so many things including the GTR 2 series, if Simbin decided to name it something unique like Assetto Corsa, Gran Turismo, or Giro Finale, it could have more popular

Gt4 online is still fun

If you're still running GTR2 then check out my channel for videos of my track builds. You can find download links for them in the track descriptions. I'm also working on four Championship mods one of which will be ready for release once all the tracks have been uploaded.

Can't believe it's already been 6 years since the weebs got fucked. GOD SAVE OUR KING 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I have the same feelings for LFS (Live for Speed) as ThePurpleguy123 has for GT4. If you are a big Gran Turismo fan, I recommend checking out Super Woden GP II, it's a very fun little game.

I was in the 10th grade when this game came out. This was one of the first things, if not the first, that I bought from Amazon at a time when most people did not buy things online at all. I remember it feeling like the future had arrived. I'm not sure I can explain how crazy all this was to someone who wasn't alive back then.

Seeing a CR-X substituting for an AE86 in this video (Toyota hadn’t yet properly returned to FH4 when this video was made) actually reminds me of when Top Gear substituted a Yugo for a Bentley Mulsanne back in Series 16, after they had planned to include the Mulsanne alongside the Mercedes S65 AMG and Rolls-Royce Ghost in their Albania road trip to find "the best car for the Albanian mafia" but Bentley pulled out just before filming was due to start.

Man I loved this game , we used to play with my dad and brother. Each of us had his own car . My brother had the White Astra Touring Car , I had the Motul one and my dad I think had a Subaru ? I don't remember since we never saw the back of it , he always struggled with controllers lol . But we also used to choose other cars with my brother and race twice in Trial Mountain , this way each used both cars and we calculated the differences to determine the winner of each round . And the races were brutal , because we raced that track so often , we had our lines on point, and we both knew how to cheat against each other too.
