Gran Turismo (1997) RE-REVIEW - ColourShed

[@doguipreacher]

"You throw enough money at it, eventually you start winning". And that´s why GT is the most realistic motorsport game ever made.

[@TeenPerspektiva]

Hahah

[@robertgodlewski8553]

Can't argue that point!

[@kazefw3834]

Lmao 🤣

[@kazefw3834]

@@shaungreer3350 That only makes it even more realistic 🤣

[@dhoffnun]

I'll say this for the Gran Turismo license tests: I completely sucked at racing games until I got through those, but now I can play them competently. Those tests even helped me drive better in real life - less because the physics were true-to-life, and more because all the principles they teach are sound. Individual tire grip, weight transfer, clean lines, etc. Unforgiving as they were, those license tests did more for my understanding of driving cars than actual driver's ed did.

[@B0XMATTER]

I for one certainly learned what corner apexes and optimal driving lines were.

[@2007excalibur2007]

no other racing game at the time taught you about out-in-out cornering, and why it matters.

[@whitworth5s248]

This sums up my experience as well. I'm not much of a gamer, but I'm fairly competent and competitive in racing games, and I owe it primarily to doing those license tests over and over back when I was 13.

[@gsnuf2]

I can confirm this is true. I learned to drive way before touching a real car Because of gran tourismo licenses.

[@VariantAEC]

GT taught me how to avoid self-inflicted car accidents... well maybe. I haven't had a car accident yet in the meatspace in over 16 years of driving.

[@admortem1938]

The dealership music and the button sounds... Pure nostalgia. Love GT!

[@VariantAEC]

That menu music and really all the music was all rock and electronic themed outside of JP which was still likely Kazunori's choice (being the Director and Producer), but those choices worked out very well in the US and in the EU as well. Despite liking rock music only the tracks that made it into the game from each respective artist really resonated with me (then and now). I still listen to those tracks, the licensed ones but every time I do, I think about GT... I still have my OG copy which wasn't even purchased for me. My parents picked it up for themselves but they never really played it and they eventually relinquished ownership of Gran Turismo (1998) to me though my mother still has the second game in her cabinet it was purchased by my father, but he doesn't play it either. Kind of how I got into some other games on PS was from games my parents rarely picked up for themselves like Air Combat, Star Wars: Dark Forces and Tiny Tank (the latter in that list was not a kids game, but I was allowed to watch).

[@rodmunch69]

The dealership layout was awesome, and it's garbage they don't do that today. Also used car inventory that changed, cars with mileage that would affect sale value and performance, these early GT's were awesome. The RPG racing sim was amazing, then the idiots thought no one wanted that RPG leveling up stuff, nah, they just want mindless online competitive racing. Morons.

[@MovedbyTruth]

The fact that they were able to pull off a game with these physics and this amount of realism in the mid 90's is absolutely incredible. I can't even estimate the number of hours me and my friends put into this game. Taking our memory cards to each other's houses and racing our own unique cars against each other. Then GT2 came out and blew our minds again. These games came out when I was in middle school and taught me a lot about cars, racing, physics and tuning.

[@RacerC45]

Saying this game is nostalgic for me would be an understatement. To me, this was vaguely the first game I remember playing and it introduced me to my personal dream car, the '96 Dodge Viper GTS.

[@BLCKCSTLS]

Kazunori Yamauchi is a genius because he managed to make the first Gran Turismo, without even having a driver's license. Sony has no idea how lucky they are to have someone like him on their team.

[@Octave_Rolland]

"without even having a driver's license" what??? You have a source for that?

A 60fps that you had to unlock is such a weird and great bit of trivia

[@MateusAuri]

I think it was a secret because it would only work in less detailed versions of a few tracks, instead of letting you pick from every track available in the main game. The compromises that had to be done to make it work at 60fps were probably too much for a whole game.

Honestly, even as someone who grew up with GT3 for the PS2, both Gran Turismo titles on the Playstation 1 were still very enjoyable when I played them last year. A true testament to the talent and passion of the small dev team back then, being able to create something that endures the test of time even two decades later.

I have one of the best childhood memories with Gran Turismo. Me and my friend were obsessed with this game. I often took my console to his house because of the bigger TV he had and we spent hours tuning and customizing our cars. Good times!

[@davecom3]

I did exactly the same. I remember us playing it all night and we would take notes of the 0-400m and 0-1000m times of the fastest cars, tinkering with gear ratios, camber, suspension stiffness etc.

[@pleasuretokill]

Yup. This was the first driving game that made my jaw hit the floor. All the previous "racing" games were kiddie toys. This was the first one that felt "real" to me.

[@garyskippracing]

I think the important thing to remember when considering the quirks of the license tests and even he quirks outside of the license tests is that Kaz was also very heavily influenced by the TV magazine Best Motoring, a kind of Japanese Top Gear. There’s an official Best Motoring Chanel on YT and if you go and watch some of the 90’s uploads all will become immediately clear, as the way they used to evaluate cars from small Kei cars to firebreathing supercars all included these kinds of trials. And once you watch the track battle you’ll basically realise the whole game just reacreates the world of the TV show. And I love it even more for it!

[@mancjedi]

This is the first time I've ever heard of a game where you literally had to unlock the framerate

[@doomslayer5644]

The start and break test is one of the best lessons this tests teach, englobed in it is: visual sign to breaking points, acceleration from 0 and breaking. You need to keep track of distance in signs teaching you to search for breaking points on other track's, controlling starting acceleration to avoid loosing grip.

The two best things about the OG GT IMHO? Grinding out wins to buy upgrades while chilling to the soundtrack, and rocking the races in a freaking Ford Taurus jellybean. Why? Just because. But I will say, I got tired of "upgrading" to "better" (at least newer) GTs because they became all about arcade driving the best of the best cars. I mean a power trip is fun, but the real fun was finding cars friends or I actually owned and upgrading them to race better than we ever did IRL. THAT was the fun part. I also swear while the graphics got better, the physics got worse with every new game. Having done time in autocross, I know what real cars can do, and in game they just kept getting worse and worse by comparison to reality.

Being able to see the ideal racing line at the subconscious level was a great help. Even up to today my brother and I cannot be in two motor vehicles of any type at the same time without racing fiercely, despite the catalog of contusions, broken bones, and legal penalties we've accrued from doing so. Last time it was 4x4 pick up trucks with studs on a snowmobile ice race course situated on a frozen lake. I assert that I won because I was able to keep my truck out of the snowberm the longest.
