Can I beat Gran Turismo 3 WITHOUT SPENDING a SINGLE credit?!

NOTE TO EVERYONE: Evidently the audio may or may not be a little screwed up toward the end - I'm not sure how that happened, sorry!

that endurance race, you figured it out, the AI will also if their tires reach the right wear level pit on the final lap. No matter the case the pit routines of the AI are very easy to cheese in Gran Turismo 3. Thats what made it so fun.

​@@PaulTheFox1988 I'm not sure what I hate more, B8 or B7 on PAL. B7 is BRUTAL too, it requires 33 seconds or less for gold and no matter how many times I try (173 tries later and STILL no gold) I'm always off the mark ;/

[@PaulTheFox1988]

@@Movellandrone yeah b-7 is really unpleasant, iirc the long right hander before the second tunnel (turn 5 according to gran-turismo fandom) is key, you have to push so much harder than you think to try and keep above 110kph (about 68mph) and even if you nail it you'll only just scrape gold. It's been a long while since I've done that one and for some reason it doesn't stick in my head as much as b-8 does, b-8 just feels so much worse and almost like it gleefully revels in its sadistic cruelty. :(

[@bobthebuilder9509]

@@djbrohawkWell thankfully for you, I believe the same challenge in GT4 won’t be impossible! You’ll have a lot more races to scavenge prize cars in, and should have enough of them to get to the credits without spending a penny. EDIT: I lied lol. Completely forgot about a thicc boi cup, but you could definitely beat GT4 without upgrades and *almost* no car purchases otherwise. Could also try the Randomizer mod and see if you get a truck as a prize car otherwise?

[@willywillington9252]

just something I wanted to point out real quick: at 4:00 you mentioned not knowing when to shift in certain license tests. one way to get around this is to launch the car without spinning the tires. take a few tries to learn what RPM to launch at and how much throttle to give the car, and not only will shifting be easier, but from my experience, you can even gain a few tenths of second over simply spinning the tires when done properly. this really helped when I was golding certain license tests like B-8 disclaimer: I have not watched the full video yet so sorry if you figured this out already lol

[@Gunny426HemiPlymouth]

There should be a medal awarded to people who do all gold licenses. These people are going places 😂 bound and determined!

[@djbrohawk]

Bound and determined is one phrase for it LOL - I don't think I did a good enough job expressing just how hard it is to play this game on controller. I'm fairly certain the Super License tests are impossible to gold on controller. Would take me hours upon hours

[@Journey_to_who_knows]

Yeah it would be a rusty Model A according to their standards

[@TheMailmanOfSteel]

I still own my PS2 copy and never "beat" the game by seeing the end credits, but I did get all golds on the licenses, and with how much there was to do, I pretty much considered that enough. I did it all on console on an old Logitech wireless PS2 controller. How I did it was "RC car" controls, I used left stick to steer, and right stick for gas/brake for much better control of both, with Shift up/down on R1/R2. Not as good as wheel obviously, but workable. This was how I played until analog triggers became a thing, as it worked very well on Dual Shocks for GT2 all the way through 4 and Tourist Trophy as well.

[@TheMailmanOfSteel]

@@djbrohawk The original Dual Shock 2's had pressure sensitive buttons, which helped a lot if you weren't using both analog sticks.

@@djbrohawkI completed GT3 in my teens on controller with no tsm or abs. Can definitely vouch for that ish being hard. 😅🤣

[@DonLuca27]

I think there are some differences between the different region (JP vs US vs EU), so that prize car list you were checking might be correct for another version of the game. If you want, you might give it a go with another version of the game to see if you can pull this off. Also, just IMHO, I'd cut a lot of the driving license tests and give the actual races more air time.

[@djbrohawk]

That's a good call, I have not seen a JP prize car list, I've only seen an NTSC and a PAL prize car list, of course neither of those are JP. I will have to do some research on that but I'm open to it! As for the licenses, I completely understand, my take on that is that a lot of the racing is just extremely boring, unless folks would rather watch me drive around by myself on the tracks just kind of as nostalgia for the tracks themselves, which is a possibility. I drove the F688/S round and round with no competition at all since I didn't have to do the Formula GT, etc. - to me, that's not interesting to watch no matter what kind of monologue I'm doing during it. Since the licenses are kind of a struggle, it serves as kind of a "oh yeah these suck" plus it's also a "how to get gold" guide for the licenses that are necessary for the challenge, if that makes sense. I will definitely keep that in mind though :) I suspect GT4's going to have plenty of racing air time.

[@joshhooke8834]

I like it how you structured it in your video since the license tests in GT3 are kind of more interesting than the actual races. The career mode is so lackluster but the challenge of the licenses makes for good content. Also really enjoying your commmentary on this one!

[@jdmsnowmonkey7913]

Another very entertaining challenge. I'd say my main recommendation for any future challenges is to go into them with a bit more of a pre-researched strategy, or at least cut out some of the searching around menus and cars to decide what to do next. I liked the format of showing each race in a cup simultaneously on screen.

[@djbrohawk]

I've considered that, I do like going in somewhat blindly because it adds an element of fun for me, but I also recognize the menuing can be a bit boring to watch. I try to use that time to get a bit of "here's what I'm thinking" out there as opposed to just showing a video completely on rails, but I may be able to do that in other ways. I did like showing the races simultaneously but my PC absolutely did not like that LOL

59:24 The Celica GT had a 1ZZ-FE, the GT-S had a 2ZZ-FE. Both displaced approximately 1.8 liters but the bore/stroke are different and the 2ZZ was Toyota's only engine equipped with VVTL-i, their version of Honda's infamous V-TEC. The first year of the 2ZZ is preferred as they had a marginally higher rev limit than subsequent years, allowing them to remain in the powerband when shifting. The 1ZZ was prone to failure from..... a combination of factors that lead to increased oil consumption, detonation/preignition, and ultimately bearing damage. The 2ZZ was susceptible to the same problems but to a lesser extent; they mostly got a bad rap from people beating the snot out of them and neglecting to do any maintenance. Perfectly reliable engine when you change the oil on time. Signed, A guy who has spent waaaaaay too long playing with Toyotas.

I actually think this is more impressive than the previous videos, needing to do a lot more of the races in various leagues to get prize cars that allow you to follow paths A/B/C etc. Makes the challenge feel more dynamic and less linear. Good job.

[@djbrohawk]

Thank you! That was the idea, this felt so much more like a puzzle to me. There's actually a whole other possible route (that still fails because of Mercedes, sadly) through the Amateur League, too, by doing things like getting the Clio race car from the Super Speedway endurance race (I think it's that one)

⁠ I enjoyed the license and the menus screens cause this game takes ALOT of thinking even for casual play also cause of the music.

Thanks for the support! I'll eventually get to the later Gran Turismos, just going through them for fun and we'll see what happens :)

[@_fudgepop01]

Just so you know - in gran turismo 4 you’re able to map the acceleration/brake to the right analog stick. After awhile I found it much better to play the game using this for when I wanted more precision because (at least at the time) the left/right analog bumpers didn’t exist. Alternatively, consider sliding your thumb atop the accelerate / brake buttons (almost akin to how you’d gently move your foot on the pedals in a real car that’s particularly sensitive). That will feel odd at first, but because the DualShock controller’s shape buttons are *technically* pressure sensitive, you can get a more fine control that way.

[@djbrohawk]

I may have to try the right analog stick thing - the pressure buttons never worked the way my brain needed them to LOL - if I need that precision, I'll give it a try!

[@FlatOutAnakin898]

There may not be an on screen option to map them in GT3, but the right analog stick is defaulted to acceleration and braking (at least on PS2). Did you know that? Unfortunate if not, but you have my respect for using the X and Square buttons, cause that's a pain! 😂@@djbrohawk

I forgot about this. Core memory ❤

One way to improve your times, especially improve consistency on license tests, is to not just hold the throttle during countdown. When launched, there can be quite a variation of rpm when just holding throttle through the countdown. Instead, if you time your throttle to the countdown you can, with practice, get a more consistent and predictable rpm at launch. In times where 10ths, or even 100ths of a second can make the difference, having that predictable launch can be the difference.

[@djbrohawk]

Took me a minute to realize what you were talking about - I agree, doing something more consistent would be wise. I think if I'd been really struggling I would've eventually resorted to something like that for sure

[@djbrohawk]

GT3 is such a major step up in graphics, it's crazy. Also, you were CLOSE! :o

[@sehguh1290]

In case no one has explained it yet: to get rid of the ghost car I believe you simply have to exit the test entirely and re-enter it. My guess is that the game only saves/updates your ghost for as long as you're currently doing the test, once you exit the test it resets the ghost to off since it also resets your personal best time back to 0. Of course the obvious thing is to select NO when it asks you if you want to update the ghost Lol. Again that's my assumption, overall really interesting and fun challenge 👍 Also holy crap 43.000 on B-8 I would've literally ran around my house screaming YES!! 😂😂😂

[@djbrohawk]

You're correct, I found that out by accident when I was rooting around the menus. As for the 43.000, I threw my hands up in the air and shouted when I saw what the time was, had a good laugh at myself

[@MRJN23]

Excited for GT4

[@JohnWiku]

I think GT4 will be much easier than GT3 to pull this off

[@djbrohawk]

We'll see! I'm going to give it my best shot

[@SoFtBOILeD181]

GT4 would be genuinely impossible due to the pick-up truck championship

[@dylanbassett8823]

if you are using pcsx2 change your right/left triggers to control the right thumbstick up/down then in game change accelerator/brake to your right thumbstick, it gives you an Analog accelerator and brake in the game

[@chriscollins550]

Aspec is my favourite GT game out of them all.

[@gizmoman2388]

The crazy thing about the B License test 8 is that the gold time was actually 42.800 on PAL, making it even harder somehow. Actually crazy that people have beaten that time considering how many hours it took for me to gold the NTSC version

[@djbrohawk]

Yeah I saw a couple of other comments referencing that as well - 43.000 was enough for me LOL

[@helloScuffed]

There you go, another Gran Turismo channel worth subscribing to. Don't mind if I do.

[@djbrohawk]

Thank you for the support! :)

[@stevenlennie]

That B License has brought back some horrible repressed memories

[@gabrielpaixao9393]

One good suggestion would be to beat Need for Speed High Stakes for PS1 without spending money on upgrades(only buying cars, as it is necessary for progression)

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Side note in GT 4 Seattle and New York City street course were my favorites.....the endurance races were fun too....racing around times square

[@djbrohawk]

They added SO MANY tracks to that game, I can't wait to get into the run!

[@NexxOmega]

The R32 on Trial Mountain always costs a lot of patience, doesn't matter which GT it is, lol

[@Soso-db5gh]

You would've never ever never ever beat the vitz challenge. It cannot and will not be done with anything other than a fully built vitz and luck. "Professional vits"

[@daveraschke]

I'm not even going to lie this is the grand trismo game that put me off the series. Like I genuinely don't know how to get past the Sunday cup

[@faranaka9294]

I'm not gonna say I told you so cause this video was entertaining. A warning for GT4 is that you need a truck so it might be the only thing you might need to buy. I also forgot to subscribe last time so I didn't forget this time, keep up the good work!

[@djbrohawk]

Thanks for the support! A couple of folks have mentioned the truck - there are so many prize cars in GT4, it might be the only thing I need, but we'll see! I'm looking forward to it, I've got to jump through some flaming hoops to get my setup ready for GT4 but I should be starting my run this weekend :)

[@danielhomant2832]

Also, for GT4. I don't remember what the A-spec points are for, but you can easily cheese the game to farm a lot of them without buying anything. I believe it is A class license earns you a Ram 1500 truck. Entering a truck into any non truck race automatically grants a full 200 A-spec points. Cheesy, yes. Free and in game? Yes, heh.

[@djbrohawk]

Ooooh, I'll keep that in mind! I'm starting my run in the next day or two. May have to pull some shenanigans LOL

[@arcanelizard4646]

A spec points are basically just bragging rights. There’s no reason to farm them for the purposes of this challenge. However, the wiki says that specifically the Ram 1500 and the Chaparral 2J always get 200 A Spec points because of a calculation error regarding the power to weight ratios. So there’s that, I guess

[@lunarlanding82]

Enjoyed video. Looking forward to 4.

[@djbrohawk]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm also looking forward to 4, I played that game so much when I was younger, can't wait to relive the memories!

[@flame_101]

You should learn about the powerband mechanic as it could really help you in these games. Like for example on that Skyline license test you were struggling to gold it, but if you look at the speed when you're on mid rpm the car goes much faster than when it's near the redline. So the solution is to shift early so your car can go stay in mid rpm on the next gear Also another good advice, in this video you talk about getting bored on some of the races. So why not turn on the music, but in order to avoid getting copyrighted, you mute the game sound on the recording so only you can hear the game sounds while playing

[@djbrohawk]

During the endurance races I had (American) football on another screen and regularly crashed LOL I'm familiar with the powerband stuff. In my GT1 video you'll notice I started shifting the Dodge Concept car a little early because I noticed it was faster - I actually went into Test Course and tested it for myself but I didn't put that in the video - I've jokingly dubbed myself "DJ Pit Boss" with my racing team because of how anal I am about everything, including when to shift cars. Historically the GT-R's have been something you rev out (in GT7 anyway) and so I didn't think about it too much. :)

[@Laura-eq6uv]

While GT4 is not doable (due to e.g. pickup cup), mayyybe it would be doable for GT4 with Spec II mod, once it comes out, as it aims to (among many other changes) better distribute cups/races and prize cars. Keep that in mind if you're interested :)

[@djbrohawk]

I've only barely heard of the Spec II mod, maybe I'll look into that as a future run! :)

[@enterthekyuubi]

How come you didn't do the Arcade time trials? Would've given you a free Esperante GT1 for Simulation Mode.

[@djbrohawk]

I thought about doing that but ultimately decided against it since I'd gotten the F688/S and the Altezza would fit multiple niches like FR and the Altezza race - It's a perfectly viable option though :)

[@rippedamigo8288]

License b-3 made me finally realize how to use the brakes to turn the car lol

[@lanzarlaluna]

This game still looks so good. 😍

[@djbrohawk]

Boggles my mind how much of an improvement this is over GT2 - just wait 'til you see GT4 :)

[@skyhawkslcb18]

oh my god nostalgia hitting hard rn

[@elrinconcuriosodesally3528]

Funny detail that you might not notice, but if you compare for example the Miata of the license is slightly more powerful than the dealership versions, so it's not like GT1 and 2 does of just a pretty unique color

[@mliam0709]

I think tyres should be exempt. You need hard tyres to do the endurance races particularly the Mazda Roadster race.

[@djbrohawk]

If someone wanted to try this challenge I don't think I would blame them for tires/oil change being exempt. I just tried to make it work as is for the fun of it :)

[@renamamiya4698]

I think this is possible to beat PAL version of Gran Turismo 3, because NTSC-U version is bigger in the question of content, but a bit narrow in question of prize cars, for example in PAL version you can win Nissan Skyline LM Road Going version in Rome endurance, and in NTSC you can't how you said in video

[@ChS9712]

While you are absolutely correct that 100% is completely impossible, surprisingly enough you can actually get to 97.7% without any car purchases; though I haven't tried it without spending money on upgrades. I totally get why you didn't do this (endurance racing and all makes for a seriously long challenge), but I would be interested to see someone tackle this at some point.

[@djbrohawk]

Maybe some day! These challenges take a really long time and unfortunately my free time is somewhat limited, I have a sim racing team and another hobby (I'm a ballroom dancer which is probably super random to a GT audience LOL) that takes up a lot of the time I do have when I'm not working. My GT4 video had at least 20 hours of play time on it - only had about 16 hours of footage but not everything I did was captured, like the middle of an endurance race or grinding up to 25% to even get into the endurance races (spoiler alert) I'll write that idea down, though!

[@turbo8628]

I am sure you already know this is impossible in gran turismo 4, however, it would be interesting to see how much of the game can be completed using only prize cars. Gold all the licences and missions, and do all of the available races for a prize car before moving to the next.

[@turbo8628]

Lsss menuing as well please. Great concept for content, but watching the menuing as you explain your thought process is not fun. You could talk about the exact same things but with actual racing taking place.

[@djbrohawk]

That's going to be the focal point of my video, I think - thank you for the feedback on the menuing, I will definitely make an adjustment to that in the GT4 video, I've seen a couple folks mention that and I think enough people have mentioned it to where I need to make a small adjustment :)

[@thefulld6650]

My memory of this game, I bought it 2nd hand for like $8, played a little. I loaned it to someone for a few days and never saw it again... don't loan games I guess lol

[@alfkareolsen3558]

By starting to give opponents in the game names from us in the real. Bob was a good and likely situation to start with 🤣

[@djbrohawk]

Might be a lot of Bobs as we go along LOL
