I still use this game's music when I detail cars at my work. It's some of the best jazz music in gaming history.

[@ldalipis]

This is the greatest track ever. I listen to it when I am working, too!

[@JesperYouTube]

Shortly explained: this is GT4 copy paste with a new GT5 track and graphics that is a early prototype for GT5

[@Anonymous_0894]

Thanks

[@asdzxcqwerty9180]

And physics as well

[@realgustavof]

I have this on my PSN account so I was able to install it the other day. The funny thing about this demo is that the leaderboard's server is still up even though GT5 and GT6 both have been offline for a long time. Technically this is the only GT game still online on PS3!

[@jeffg7044]

Tip for the drifting: You were trying to drift with traction control on, and automatic. You should turn those off and it should be better.

[@DrGreenThumbNZL]

Lmao what a scrub , typical KZbinr noob 😂

I actually still have this installed from June 07, when I got my first PS3.

HD Concept is cool, downloaded it when it came out. The long text says: notice congratulations. All cars exceeded the standard times. The reverse course has opened and tuned cars have been added to the selection. Additionally, Drift Trial is now available. Please enjoy! OK (you can also open google translate on your phone and point it at the screen to translate japanese to english for the menus of course)

[@SultanOfAwesome]

You had stability control on in some of the drift clips lol

[@Bristecom]

I remember playing this demo at a GameStop. It was the first game that got me considering buying a PS3.

[@Caero_]

Speaking of early PS3 games looking better than later ones, I do find GT5 Prologue to be more visually appealing than 5 & 6.

[@neotext7941]

Reason why there was no dualshock 3 support in GTHD was because the dualshock 3 did not come out until some time later in the ps3's life it was released with the sixaxis controller which infamously did not have any rumble

[@Maximus20778]

Man six axis was the worst lol

[@thordenthor88]

My first ever experience with Gran Turismo was one of my dad‘s friends who I was visiting, and he let me try his PS3, which was the first time I’ve ever even seen, one and I remember driving around in a yellow Ferrari I was like 6 years old, I have been hooked ever since.

[@Zippy_Zolton]

wish they would do a modern rendition of the HD Classic idea for the PS4 & 5, there's a lot of demand for those older games so it'd be a no-brainer to port GT3/4 with slightly touched up graphics and different features

[@suntannedduck2388]

Other than car, music, sponsor and other licensing it's hard to say. Would be great. I mean anything can be said like remasters and we go oh that's way different then what we expect with studios staff and decisions years later than in the past. But a small title or similar menus or content or so would be nice. It's why Destruction Derby (Pagnosis title so Sony owned) and Ridge Racer on PS1 Classic. It's why we didn't see Wipeout happen is music licensing as other than that the ship sponsors are fake in universe ones. Which I guess with HD/2048 they were just lucky with some songs while others they didn't offer having them inside and outside Omega Collection to compare HD/2048 I don't own Fury. Or have to import the HD to Vita content thing for the HD digital version bonus. Then again look at GT7 barely any of the old courses (their decision to do or course) with focus on the GT Sport onwards ones instead besides the constant updates format of course. They did what they wanted because modelling things again is a lot of effort even though the many original GT Sport tracks versus real ones and differences to GT6 showed huh they had that much time besides updates over time. They have different goals nowadays that pretty clear. GT6 was the last of the old format besides the GT1-4 differences as well.

[@Zippy_Zolton]

@@suntannedduck2388 modern GT being much more different than the old formula is exactly why I think a neo-classic game would be a valid option to pursue

[@PacoRobbins]

I know without the online aspect the GT series would not be as large as it is today, but man, I sure do miss when these games focused on simulation mode.

[@lucwijngaard8413]

Japanese internet tutorials make or break any video game, it's nothing without it!

[@akioasakura3624]

[@Yungbeck]

Omg the early version of the PS Store brought me back. Appreciate you covering the smaller titles as well, very interesting!

[@Inconsecuente]

There is a video of digital foundary comparing graphics of the 1080p games of the PS3, in resumen yes, Gran Turismo sacrifice resolution and fps for more features and details

[@suntannedduck2388]

I agree they are worth a watch.

[@Francoberry]

I loved playing HD concept! Though i do wish in hindsight we got the 'interim' Gran Turismo that was basically GT4 and Tourist Trophy combined.

[@Redpandafan5000]

always loved the vibe of your videos

[@JorgeAraujo97]

This game does look better than GT5 and GT6. Somewhere, Gran Turismo lost its soul during GT5 development.

[@rhignome1981]

No

Absolutely, been saying this for years The first four parts were so special For me Personally 3 and 4 were nearly perfect

[@JorgeAraujo97]

@@Krezo200 The 4th game is still fantastic. To think they crammed in a incredibly well done, pretty much perfect Nordschleife and Le Mans in a PS2 era game is amazing.

[@gearoidnyhan9226]

Your are a genius I’ve been after this physical for years but haven’t found a reasonable price copy just yet Great to see you seeking out things like this Keep the good work up Also the music for this is boss

[@R3AL-AIM]

Kind of wild how I grew up on the first four GT titles and eventually GT5/6 in my teen years, but never knew about all of the extra editions aside from Prologue until recent years. I kind of knew of the Nissan version of GT5?, but looking at all of the different demos and expo versions throughout the years, it's pretty wild honestly. It's cool though. Not many other games had a bunch of different demos or partnered mini releases of their titles. GT did though, but I guess it makes sense considering what the game what at the time and how easy it is to do that kind of thing with a racing game that has licensed vehicles. Lol

[@K9arcade]

I have this too, such a great little title and I love the music for it

[@WatcherKoops4677]

the overall aesthetic of the HD concept and prologue were immaculate, magical!

[@nololol]

this track has been ported to assetto corsa + the rally stage version...its insane in vr bombing down those dirt mountains

[@Noah-Lach]

This was such a sick track. It’s a shame it never escaped the PS3 era

[@nololol]

@@Noah-Lach a lot of gt2-6 tracks have been ported to assetto corsa in incredible detail! someone even remade grindelwald from gt2 and it looks AMAZING, if you have a decent pc like even a gtx 1060 you could easily run the game on a monitor at 1080p

[@Noah-Lach]

@@nololol I'll check it out! I tried AC VR in my Quest 2 and wasn't overly impressed, but it's certainly a fun game! The VR mode is nothing like GT7's though.

[@nololol]

@@Noah-Lach you gotta do a lot of pain in the ass stuff, you need to install the oculus tool to turn off "motion smoothing" and other stuff and force it to display higher resolution/remove other effects that make it look worse to save performance. my quest 2 at max res + custom shaders patch tweaks seriously looks better than real life sometimes

[@verylongchannelhandle]

you gotta give GT7 a review

[@Pooz30]

At the time, I had the fastest lap online with the R32. This was the highlight of my GT career.

[@Noah-Lach]

I’m heavily debating modding my PS3 just so I can play this again. So many great memories running this track on the Sony Style PS3 booths

[@_justtoomanygames_8857]

PS3 can be softmodded in about 40 mins. Its worth it to play hard to get games like this, initial D and wangan midnight.

[@Noah-Lach]

@@_justtoomanygames_8857 I’ve done my Vita and it was a piece of cake. I’ll probably take your advice and try it out this weekend!

[@Lambo800-4]

GTHD is what could be a small bite-sized mode that could fit in GT5. Drive car, beat time, unlock new car, beat that time, do that 10 times and its done. Fun fact: The track used here would be added to GT5 and be the starting location of one of the hardest challenges in all of GT history.

[@rodsk8dude731]

You mean, like, a classic style arcade mode? Yeah, we should have more of this in modern games. Also those cheats from early NFS games that let you drive traffic cars. I mean, back then they looked pretty bad, but on modern titles there's some pretty neat models on the roads.

Never got to play HD concept, but I did get to play GT5 Prologue on tryout consoles back in the day 2008, to me the graphics and having the then new Nissan GTR and Audi R8 in it was magic. I never had concoles so I only could play GT5 Prologue again last year on RPCS3 and I have to say in one aspect I like it more than the full GT5 game: The game only has premium content in it and no low- poly GT4 cars anywhere. Even in GT6 its breaks the graphics a bit when the AI drives around in HD and Low-Poly- models at the same time...

[@Shadowo199]

HD Concept was quite nice, I have a digital copy on my ps3

[@chillhour6155]

Im a big fan of all the old GTA games and owned 3x ps3 consoles, I didnt know this version of the game existed

[@Balc0ra]

5:00 Did not GT5 add them in waves per patch, and marked the cars as "premium" back in the day to indicate they had interior view? As I remember that not many cars had interior at launch.

[@suntannedduck2388]

GT5 Prologue had Spec 1 in Japan or US maybe Spec 2 was the start then Spec 3 update and Spec 3 was PAL I think or Greatest Hits/Platinum versions maybe were. Otherwise not sure. Other than that the car states of standard GT4/PSP models and premium GT5 done with interior models I guess or whatever they called them. So yes they did do that and update them over time or added new ones or whatever the case per update besides the online races. Then again GT5 Prologue had none of that they were all I think premium cars and had updates so I wouldn't be surprised if they considered the naming of the cars that way either ever since the GT HD sort of wording and reused it for a different purpose. No clue. It had updates and sure the Platinum/Greatest Hits Sony does for budget versions of games. But I don't remember a premium in a different way.

[@Balc0ra]

@@suntannedduck2388 I meat that they marked the cars as premium to indiacte they had interior view vs a sales verion

I never got into the Gran Turismo demo releases, because they were simply that: Demo releases. I was willing to wait until the full versions came along, but since the 7th generation, the wait only got less and less worth it with each full release.

[@comradewyvern1150]

Great review! I love the music of this game! God bless, Jesus loves you!

[@zgamerf8807]

Curious, and I don't know if anyone asked this, but do you plan to do a GT Sports review now it has an offline patch?

[@suntannedduck2388]

I had wondered too I hadn't asked or he just hasn't been asked by others. He may respond to your comment. It's a different type of game and I can see why he may not but I forgot if someone has or not. You'd have to browse a lot of comments/community tabs or wait if he reads yours. But he did say ALL including spin offs in this video so maybe. Then again I doubt manufacturer demos those rare but emulator worthy then sending over or region locking and things. At least for the PS2 era one make demos. PS3 ones less likely and Vision GT replaced them instead. My guess is because during his GT6 (may have changed his mind since of course) review my guess is no as he didn't care that much during GT5 and 6 did change his opinion and did say about the server shut down part. In a way GT Sport is offline playable and he just has to mention the shut down parts but that's its own research of updates and things maybe depends on how he would go about it. Or if he cares for the online focus it was intended for. I mean the career mode is fair. A bit awkward at times of the F1 or one make events the AI suck. Licenses and driving missions/circuit experience do the job. I myself was at the service end point and yeah the livery should be offline but isn't because they saw it as part of the online uploading when why in offline with no internet it was offline accessible so logic with that one XD the achievements should too but aren't for similar online service reasons they considered it part of then to speed up not getting credits or mileage points.

[@chocolatemilkinafijibottle4143]

Have you tried using the google translate app on video game menu's?

[@suntannedduck2388]

It is possible with Google Lens or something else but it can be awkward to use. I tried to with GT4 First Preview or something else (one of the GT 2002 Concept manufacturers demos) and it did an ok job pointed at the screen and converting when comparing to make the wiki page on GT Fandom wiki page for it with the screenshots during the photo mode. Usually more on probably chip packet type stuff or magazines but he could try and see how it picks it up depending on how close the characters are and how it attaches. It isn't perfect compared to a commenter that has translated it or trying to translate ourselves with the video paused maybe. Or however busy people are.

[@theredlinefactory1301]

Love your video another great one and off topic but I wish PlayStation would release gt1-6 on the PS5 plus premium subscription I never understand why exclusive don’t get added to the store

[@mrchico2621]

2:33 "We were all using dialogue back then?" Assume you meant analogue? or dial-up? 😅

[@suntannedduck2388]

Yeah GT4 HD wait combined with TT didn't know that. Didn't realise Premium was a thing. I don't like Eiger Nordwand. The location is fine the track is boring. Matterhorn even was better. The rally ones are much better use of the circuit in GT5&6 for the lacking rally presence we all know of. XD GT5 the tires slip and slide worse for me in comfort tires same with GT6 ira why I ahte those games more then the content present in them/progression changes as their own good and bad in some fair ways. So of GT4 equivalent I think its fine and also visually less distracting then GT5+ of visual features. So as far as these demos go and especially wiki making for thr one make manufacturers demos too for GT 2001/2 & GT4 has made that clear to me too. Besides GT4 Prologue being GT3 like. I don't remember that drift counting sound effect sounds good. Drift trial I forst experienced or remember in GT PSP didn't know was in GT HD Concept but makes sense I guess. Then again the GT games arcade mode tire selection to now mean something in a mode finally ever since. The 1080i PS2 or 576i in PAL or 480p otherwise to 1080p hmm yeah for FMV is surprising. That is small of a launch title. But they made the most of it. Yeah 10 cars 10 events is decent. It is a demo experience basically which is fair for a tech demo. Yeah the disks install and the download is gone yep. Ah the prices and the light content. Good look. Ah a trailer and the old PS3 Store tutorial why not. It was new for it. I love the old menu. XD Yeah watch the old E3s for sure highlight things of the time, worth a re watch. Yeah for Boys I mean the fact that PSP is mobile or as particular as it is it could be similar? Otherwise won't deny that sure at a young age GT games aren't always easy to understand but we do get them eventually how they work, grow up playing them and appreciate it not a oh Motor Toon Grand Prix or some dumbed down game GT game with arcade/challenges maybe fewer cars/fake cars it could have been.

[@DisamerdScroll]

Probably one of the reasons why u think they look better is the really REALLY early 7th gen titles in a way where just PS2 games upscaled Before they started to put bloom, screen effects, etc to the max which in turn u had to use lower resolutions to sorta keep up with perf the very early titles had higher resolution with less effects which provides a more clean image

[@dmer-zy3rb]

i mean on average ps3 or 360 games did not look better in the beginning of the gen (although early 360 games did RUN better than later ones) some early games like this gran turismo had a more tasteful balance between resolution/Anti Aliasing and graphics though. alot of early 360 games had 4x MSAA - which really was quite good. Alot of people wish modern engines could still do MSAA!

[@wunyons]

Why are the sounds and Graphics better than the final GT5

"Notice: Congratulations, All cars beat the standard times. The advanced course opened and a tuned car has been added to the car models. Drift trial is now Playable." I.e. you beat the times set in that car. You unlocked a new version of the course, a tuned version of the car, and the drift trial. There's no need to make yourself look ignorant and helpless.

[@RyanCarbo96]

Mate your videos need to be longer

[@suntannedduck2388]

I think it's a fair balance. If there is only so much to say about it, it is a tech demo with little content in this case and he did say the build up history lesson and what's on the disk I think 8 minutes is fine if enough details or opinion is covered. Length isn't everything it's the content and context sometimes.
