Going back to the iconic sounds, I think an underrated one is the "3, 2, 1, Start" sound. It's one of few sounds that has been preserved across every entry of Gran Turismo. You hear that sound and you immediately know it's a GT series game. The racing transmission sounds I think are in 2 iterations. GT1-4 and GT5P-GT7. Same for turbo noise.

[@PacoRobbins]

Turbo noise in the old ones was just BOV noise lol.

[@turismofoegaming8806]

I found this at 14 years of age with no guide at all, so I don’t know where or why you would need a guide to discover this as anybody that knew slightly a little bit about cars would know that a Dodge Viper is a naturally aspirated V 10 which would work for the race and would ultimately dominate based on the other cars that are in the race.. But yes I did this raise hundreds of times back in the day! Just like the Seattle circuit race that unlocked the Shelby cobra for 75,000 credits in Gran Turismo two

[@bungieman2810]

Same thing happened to me on my playthrough. Once I discovered that strategy, the floodgates opened wide.

[@trace6242]

I remember the manual for that game was the Cliff Notes version of a racing school textbook. Weight transfer, traction circles, taking an early apex vs a late one, etc. Pure insanity. It was also a simultaneous release with the first Dual Shock.

[@turismofoegaming8806]

Yeah it actually came with a game book and a reference manual!! That’s why the original Gran Turismo came in a two disc jewel case.. not that the first game was to death but because it came with two manuals! One book which described the game and then a reference manual which described cornering strategy, weight transfer, drive train layout etc. Truly ahead of its time and nothing like it since-

[@JspoonG]

Special Modification doesn't give you much, but it is not just a gimmick. It is something like weight reduction lvl 4 and lets you mess with downforce

[@leoleonvids]

​@@purwantiallan5089 Wasn't it GT3?

[@fajaradi1223]

​@@leoleonvids Yes, you're correct. It start (or ended) on GT3.

[@Skarfar90]

Racing modification is essentially an ultimate form of weight reduction, it also adds aero kits and liveries to the cars. I think it also modifies the car's body, making it wider, allowing for significantly better grip and handling in corners. It is an all in one package really. Besides that, it does not really do anything else Kinda wish they kept this feature in the PS2 era games, as it was a nice way of turning your regular cars into proper racecars.

[@emlyndewar]

I always loved that you could race mod basically everything in this game.

[@WTFHAX93]

Yeah, the only car you could not Race Mod in the first Gran Turismo was the Dodge Copperhead Concept Car, as the Race Mod for it was cut due to licensing problems. The Race Mod (silver or white), alongside the Special Model version (yellow or black), can be found in the beta builds of the game, where the car was still called by its original Copperhead name. Such a waste, because it made the car look like an actual legit race car too: a hardtop roof without the rear window and a big roof scoop, a big chassis mounted wing, exhausts where the license plate used to be, a Viper-styled hood, and sleeker wing mirrors mounted much higher (almost on the roof). The Concept Car LM Edition in Gran Turismo 2 kinda tried to emulate that look, but it didn't do it as good, because all it did was just recolor the roof to the body color and slap a wing (which, while kinda similar, didn't really look as good).

[@JamVar]

Seems like, from the beginning and at least until the massive delays with GT5, Polyphony Digital was always ahead of the game (pun intended). 1, 2, 3, & 4 were all just so far ahead of their respective times - each is so polished and well-presented. I hope, naively so, that they get back their footing one day and truly push the envelope again.

[@DustinEdenYT]

I think with Sport and 7 they just lost that playfulness that made the previous games such a vibe

[@rijjhb9467]

GT7 is still pretty way ahead of everything else, especially visually.

[@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious]

In my personal opinion, the best choice for a simulator/simcade between GT 5 and 6 would be GRiD Autosport (Yes, the right way to write is GRiD if i remember correctly)

[@CalculatedRiskAK]

@@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious GRID was all uppercase. It's the DiRT franchise that has the lowercase i.

[@TheSC20k]

@@purwantiallan5089 but they all have interiors, right? When I played GT5 and 6 I'd avoid using any non-premium car since they looked much worse and I love driving in cockpit view. While GT7 has fewer cars, the average quality is much better. And since simulators are a bit of a niche and modeling all the insane detail takes a lot of resources, I'm quite happy with the amount we still get in GT7. I will miss the silly cars from the older GTs tho, I'd kill for a Daihatsu Midget in GT7.

[@shifty1927]

Born in 88, when this came out it was all me and my friend played. My first till the sunrise gaming experience was because of gt1.

[@canto_v12]

GT made “simulations” approachable. That’s why it got so big. Teaches newbies how cars and tuning work. License testing helps people get started. Intuitive career mode with interesting variety and without a huge, overwhelming ladder.

[@chanshaunleo2103]

I REALLY liked how you edit the introduction in a way it’s in time with moon over the castle, what a hit of nostalgia! Brings me back to childhood times

[@cosmic6126]

The physics were surprisingly well implemented. Weight transfer affects grip greatly; lots of lift off oversteer upon entry in this game. A bit exaggerated, but the intent was there. Also, nice touch to see car specs such as tire width and HP and torque curves, which determine the optimal shift point for each car and gearbox settings. Tire width increases grip as you'd expect. Comparing two slightly different models of the same car with differing tire widths does make a difference.

[@Tofu501st]

This game had a vibe that's indescribable. I mean the music, the graphics, the track selection, the cars, it all combines into a unique feeling that I can't describe.

[@turismofoegaming8806]

Exactly why when I was last playing Gran Turismo five and six, I put the soundtracks of all the previous Gran Turismo games in Gran Turismo five and Gran Turismo six via custom soundtrack mode! It still didn’t match the original Phil of the original Gran Turismo but damn if it didn’t help it out-

A few years ago out of boredom i downloaded a ps1 emulator and gt2 for my cellphone and had a blast playing it, it still holds up so well in 2023 and it's better than all of modern mobile racing games, the physics are very realistic for a ps1 game, the car park is huge and every car is tunable.

[@fossilfueled27]

I loved this game. I remember buying a used Mitsubishi GTO Twin turbo, pretty cheap to start with, and you could tune it past 900bhp. The Viper wouldn't even break 600bhp fully upgraded.

[@machotuga1992]

A few things you missed in your GT1 gameplay: - if you do Racing Modification in any car, it will do all the weight reduction for free; - if you do Qualify, you get extra credits for best place; - in the menu before racing, you can go to List Entry and check the opponents car, weight and power. This helps to know how many mods you need to have in order to beat them; - at the Megaspeed Special Event, during the Test Course race replay, go to any car and keep the camera looking behind. There's a "sound bug" in the last gear of each car that sounds like a vacuum cleaner; - there's a Viper GTS racing version that gives him a 7-speed gearbox, which makes him the only car in the game with 7 gears; - the fastest car in GT1 is the Skyline R33 GTR V-Spec racing mod, that can achieve 937hp.

[@neetguard1449]

I know I'm 9 months late but the Mitsubushi GTO LM Race car (that costs half a million) also had 7 gears.

[@Invisible_Visualz]

I was 11 in 97' this game was revolutionary compared to test drive and need for speed which we did have in the early 90s on PC.

[@nicholasbradshaw]

I was born in the same year as you, but I was a "change of life" baby (meaning my parents were well into their 30s when I was born). As such, my teenage siblings held strong with their PS1 and Gran Turismo well into the 2000s, and I followed suit into the GT World aged just 3. 20 years later, I'm still racing around smacking into walls... but I'm a bit faster, at least. (Gran Turismo 3 was always my home, but Gran Turismo 4 was the one I got the best grip on in terms of racing physics. With GT4, I can genuinely feel where the car wants to brake before I've even tried the brake pedal in a car/track combination before. It's so invigorating to be in symbiosis with a car, and the cartoon-y physics of GT1 got me to where I am today.)

[@JakeBourne13]

This game brings back some memories. We didnt get GT till Christmas of 99 but it was my introduction to track racing as well as car brands that were new to my 9 year old self. It was my introduction to brands like TVR, Aston Martin, or even the Dodge Viper. Also the soundtrack lives rent free in my head

[@GozuTenno962]

As someone who was born just a year before Eden. I grew up playing a lot of old racing games from the 90s thanks to the win98 machine my dad got for me. Seeing Eden enjoy the games I grew up either emulating or pirating brings me this nostalgia that I really can't explain. Basically watching him play 90s racers is such a joy to watch.

As a 38-year-old who was 14 years old when Gran Turismo first came out at launch & whom played thru the entire game to completion(All Gold) I can wholeheartedly say that when Gran Turismo came out you were blown away!! There was absolutely no other racing game on the market at the time that had as good of graphics, real manufactured cars that you could modify as well as just the awesome fun gameplay experience throughout the entire game! For its time, it was so much more amazing than anything we have today due to the fact that there was nothing else like it at the time!!

For me Gran Turismo 2 is amazing leap forward in quality - and to this day it is my favourite game of all time, a perfect mix of arcade and simulation, where it's fun to drive almost anything, plus the tracks are awesome, car selection, visual design and even music - everything is great. Same goes with progression in campaign - it's just a masterpiece, and i play that genre all the time, on every system simmilar games came out on (Forzas, Enthusia, Grids, Shifts, PGRs, Project Racing, Sega GT, Asstto Corsa etc.)

[@MichaelCorlion]

The Honda NSX Type R was unbelievable if you tuned it correctly, once the downforce, suspension and brake balance was right that thing had handling that surpassed everything else in the game. Great fun

[@Skarfar90]

Gran Turismo was really a trailblazer for games to come down the road. At the time GT was released, most racing games were arcade racers, with titles like Ridge Racer, Test Drive, Need For Speed and Daytona. There was nothing like GT beforehand. I got the game back in 1998, right after it came out in Europe. And my god, the difficulty of this game for a beginner was mind-boggling. It took a lot of trial and error to finally getting the licences done, and to start winning races. But once I mastered the driving, the game became quite easy. The game was indeed ahead of its time, with car tuning, modifying and a good selection of both cars and tracks (for the time). It was a truly amazing experience going from arcade racers to GT. After playing the game for 25 years, I can say that the best way to start out is to buy the A70 Supra, the black one you get in the used car dealership at day 1. It only costs 6500 credits, and leaves money for upgrades. This car can easily get you through most of the GT League, the FR Cup, the Japan vs US or UK championships and even the Megaspeed cup later on. Pretty much all of the A-level races. Also, doing the qualifying laps makes sense in this game, since you get bonus money for taking pole position. When you can afford it, get the Viper and do the Normal Car Championship. Note: The GTS is the better Viper, as the RT/10 tends to be very tail-happy. The best overall car to modify and tune for yourself is the Mazda RX-7 A-Spec. It has good enough top speed, great handling and lots of grip. The two best prize cars are the Cerbera LM and the special Dodce Concept Car. Powerful and lightweight. The fastest car is the 1995 model Toyota Supra, believe it or not.

[@whatsindansgarage2542]

With this game you actually had to learn to draw your very own racing line, i felt so nostalgic by watching you play this game. It was my very first game on PS1

[@turismofoegaming8806]

If you were playing Gran Turismo two with it hooked up to a good stereo, the engine sounds when the cars were stock sounded identical to the way they sounded in real life while they were idling and low revs! Due to putting wear and tear on a car that does not belong to you, manufacturers did not allow the Gran Turismo team to redline the engines on a lot of the cars therefore is the reason you have the “vacuum cleaner“ sound at higher RPMs once you’re racing! Hearing the Camaro SS 97 model in Gran Turismo two idling on my buddy Chad’s JVC stereo system Sounded absolutely amazing at the time because, with the subwoofers and the car idling it sounded just like a real Camaro!

[@spamaccount5889]

Another game that really pushed the PS1 to it's limits was TOCA World Touring Cars. I never played it when it was new but I recently tried it on an emulator.

Get a small engineupgrade so that the engine can spin faster up and down and you are set quite goid for the sundaycup. Aim for the dodge viper as your next car, becazse its a real beast but also quite expensive and try to get pole position as often as possible. That money adds up

5:16 pixel car racer is the best mobile racing game in my opinion because it has tones of good customization and pixelated graphics which I love it's just a shame they don't release updates for it anymore

The SVX was Subarus answer to cars like the NSX and Supra

Back in 98 and 99 the best trick was to do the B and A liscence, sell the prize cars and get a used 96 or 97 Nissan Enfiniti RX-7 and upgrade the handling and speed. Car was a money maker most my runs.

the car list may be small but it is cohesive. mostly japanese cars but then there are a dozen cars from other countries that are pretty special. such a polished game. gt2 had more content but it felt less cohesive imho

The racing modifications allow aero tuning

Idk if you found out yet, but you can check the stats of each car you'll about to race. I believe that subbie wagon has a tuned engine of a out 400 HP. I got this game for Christmas of 98 when I was 13 and I still have it 😁

Gran Turismo's True Origins come from a game called "Motor Toon Grand Prix". It goes beyond Gran Turismo.

I've been playing GT for as long as I can remember and I didn't know you could just skip qualifying.. :^)

Emulation warps a lot of things graphically from the oroginal, like the tachometer lines for instance. I love when chat makes fun of these old games which isn’t how they actually looked. Bless
