OMG you have just solved one of the greatest mysteries in my lifetime! I had a race at Grindelwald and these Audi TT's just slammed into the wall. I laughed but wondered... Why? Why did those cars just slam into the wall? For 20 years I have lived with that question. Thank you for putting an end to that mystery for me. I can finally die in peace.

That GT350 jumping over the Superbird was incredible. I've never seen that in a GT game before the PS3 releases before. Also surprised there's no mention of turn1/2 on Apricot Hill. AI just seem to barrel into the first corner at a million miles an hour then understeer and spin on the grass. Extremely common in the endurance race and the Euro League race there.

[@JinteiModding]

I tried jumping over some Cars in Gran Turismo PSP using the Trial Mountain final corner Jump and the Cars have some sort of collision barriers on top of them Thats weird

[@fatalexception_]

I've been playing GT3 a lot lately, and the AI is ruthless sometimes. They just push you right off the circuit sometimes lol. Also, the chicane on Grand Valley Reverse is always a problem spot, especially on the first lap when you're close to other cars. I find that a lot of the AI either don't brake, or brake way too late, which ends up with them either crashing in the barrier, or worse, punting you into the barrier.

[@artoodiitoo]

They had some derps in GT4 too, I think it was at Le Mans in the Megane Cup they all seem to drive off to the sand in the last corners

[@jrs4516]

i dont think the AI is ruthless, there's just no consideration for where the players car (and possibly other AI cars) is. the classic AI fail that polyphony would never fix in the early games was to park your car on the racing line and wait for the field to come around and smash into you with no attempt to brake or avoid you.

[@minignoux4566]

@@jrs4516 I heard that the Ai in GT3 actually reacted to you. If you bumped them then they'll bump you back.

[@submaniac93]

Apricot Hill turn 1.5: I'm so lonely... q.q But yeah, it's all in part due to how ai opponents are tuned (which is how *not* tuned they are, power multipliers and tires aren't good overall) and in how well PD made driving lines. Pretty janky at times heh

The Escudo really is the king of GT2. Even the AI handled it well in all of these videos.

[@Yookatori]

Speaking of Grand Valley, this reminds me of a time where my dad was doing the 300km endurance race, and sometime along the way, an AI car got completely stuck on the barrier separating the pit lane from the straight, ending up on last place and being lapped at least 19 times. It might have something to do with the pathfinding glitch you mentioned during the Seattle part. I might have gotten some details wrong, as it happened a very good while ago (~20 or so years), but that's how I remember it. EDIT: The glitch happened on the PAL version of the game.

[@RolfSAMA]

1st time I've ever saw a car landing on others roof in GT1/2. & I got hundreds of hrs spent in these games. That replay was a great catch.

[@derosiflo6524]

i think you can do a second part. Apricot Hill corner 1/2, Mid-Field Raceway 1st corner, Autumn RIng 1st corner, Rome Short the 3rd corner (where you cut the long version, they always ram the wall)

[@Turbobuttes]

Honorable mention: Second (or first if you count as as continuous) corner at Apricot Hill where certain AI cars will come in slightly too hot, touch the gravel, spin out and then sit in the middle of the track not finding back onto their path.

[@csababugyo9109]

Good old memories,thanks for the upload!

[@Peelster1]

Grand Valley turn 1 was the scariest turn in the entire game for me as a kid.

[@jarlett3793]

I remember doing a endurance race on Laguna seca, but always one car would get stuck at the corkscrew turn, and I would stay there for ages until I decided to ram it, then he would just drive again. But it was almost everytime in a new race at that turn

[@saghwteam]

The situation in Seattle reminds me of a track in R4 ridge racer. There's basically this long, uphill straight through a tunnel, then a very steep downward slope right before a sharp almost-hairpin turn. If one don't know any better, it would be very tempting to go flat out on the straight (I mean, it's uphill and inside a tunnel, sign me up), fly like a maniac above the slope only to realize brakes don't work in mid-air. By the time you touch the ground you'd be blasting at full speed into the wall and would have to resort to the classic wall-riding (which isn't effective in that game) Ironically, the AI is very adept at managing this part of the track, I've never seen them making a mistake, they seem to always have the perfect entry speed, exit speed, and attack angle to go through this part smoothly

[@minignoux4566]

It is indeed possible to go flatout there, just turn right before going airborne and you'll land on the side, making you drift that corner.

[@evanhanley6437]

This was very funny to watch. Love it Matt.

[@SockyNoob]

Just imagine Seattle turn 4 if it had GT5-Sport physics. I'd expect cars rolling over or taking flight lol.

[@fahadahmad7088]

GT2 AI + corkscrew = perfect recipe for disaster

[@SenseiRaisen]

Here is a theory of why they slam to the left on the 1st place. It has to do with the track pattern. It seems the AI was keep with the track pattern of the non reverse version of that track, since most of the turns are ... on the left side instead than the right side. So, in other words, they are trying to keep the track as if they are going on the normal one, or at least on that section of the race.

[@BarbaricAvatar]

It's easy to forget how amazing the roster of cars was for GT2. It still has more exclusive cars than the rest of the GT games put together; that's including GTS.

[@soplanucas813]

[@Sagari90]

[@DMSwordsmaster]

I recall a wonderful AI glitch I had... In Gran Turismo 5. Yes, I had a spectacular AI fail there. I had rammed a car on... I want to say it was Monza, on the first corner. It crashed into another car, and for the entire damn race, those two cars just sat front end to front end, completely locked in place, and wouldn't move. It was a goddamn spectacle and I am so glad I saved that replay.

[@InfernotheFox]

If I were to give an honourable mention to a corner/complex, I'd give it to the S-Bend Hill on Midfield (Last Corners Forward, First Corners Reverse). Whilst these corners aren't exactly difficult going forward, they can be notorious going reverse, especially in high performance vehicles. The approach on the reverse layout is blinded by a crest, meaning you're not able to judge your braking all that well, but it's more common to see the AI mess up there after the first lap due to the speed advantage they carry. I've seen the AI have issues there in the faster cars when doing the Event Synthesizer in the past and it rarely disappoints

[@peterward2275]

Considering how lo g ago it all was, the graphics are still awesome for the age!

[@CapeMike]

A doctor I've known for close to 20 years who works with people with developmental disabilities has raced on Laguna Seca in real life himself, and can attest to the insanity that is the Corkscrew turn! Also, I know I've mentioned this before to you, but as I drove one in real life, I don't suppose you could sneak a Dodge Stratus into a GT2 video or two? .........please? :)

[@benconway9010]

Tahiti Maze Rally is the funniest bug in GT2. It's broken and will drive head on into the wall and get stuck there the entire race. You basically can't lose. The ai never can get its self off the starting line basically.

[@NOTHlNG]

The GT franchise was always been cursed with deadline issues. Almost every game has some lack of programming and elaboration because of pushed and hasty development such as the AI, graphics and missed completion tests (NTSC ver.) in GT2, car stats in arcade, lack of used cars, reflections misprogrammed/mirrored in GT3 etc.

I absolutely love Gran turismo, but what pisses me off so much about this game is you could hit an AI car on the inside and they would never loss control or spin out

[@JinteiModding]

They do actually in 3 and later installments

[@SockyNoob]

@@JinteiModding yep. Literally before or right after any jump, just hit the rear corner of their car and it'll either spin them or cause them to over-correct and slam into a wall. Also works less successfully if you ram into a car in the side at max speed as they're turning sharply. Before the PS3 games, you could use the cars as a wall and effectively avoid having to brake as much. Useful for saving tires.

[@JinteiModding]

@@SockyNoob used to do this in Gran Turismo PSP Multiplayer with my friend just to piss him off
