These are absolutely incredible graphics for 2001. The leap from GT2 to GT3 was insane in a span of two years.

[@Lizbeth_Moon]

To be fair... they are not graphics from 2001 on ps2, they are on a pc emulator which improves them a lot.

[@laundromast]

@@Lizbeth_Moon The graphics are the exact same, the emulator just gives a cleaner resolution and picture. For component video the ps2 had, these graphics still looked astonishing for it's time.

Gran Turismo is the best races for me🙂. I have a series of videos on the YT channel from races on ps5🏁

[@erikpartida884]

This game was perfect. In retrospect, for the time, it was perfect in every way. Soundtrack, graphics, car selection, track selection, single player, and split screen. This game was the Gold standard. Plus, I miss how the third person view isn’t fixed to the car like it is now. This looks more natural and easier to play in third person view (behind car).

[@xRomeo999]

Love this game. I use to play it for hours.

[@ellomate..]

I opened this game for xmas when I was in Grade 2... I'm 29 now. The nostalgia is kicking in harddddddddd

[@failadin1]

The sound of the tires screeching on the pavement hitting a turn was enough to transport me back to the middle of my childhood living room, ps2 controller in hand, poptart by my side, enjoying this game on a cold winter Saturday after my big brother got a new PS2 Christmas. God what a time to be alive.

[@yusufaras01]

Still better than most of racing games. What a legend it was. I'm so regretful that i sold my original cased Gt3 game with my PS2 console. Good old memories...

[@jonathan75801]

I didn't know the ps2 could produce such amazing graphics in 2001. I was playing this a few days ago on my ps2.

[@Fredsinator]

It cant produce this, they are running on an emulator on PC, which has increased resolution

[@H3llBaron]

Gran Turismo 3 was the killer game of Sony console ps2. For that matter it has the best quality ever seen in a ps2 game, GT4 will do it better. The rest is history. Still the main product for the franchise PlayStation.

[@mackalan]

@@Fredsinator Si el juego es de PS2, que inventan estos fanboy de Xbox jajajaja.

[@sebastiankulche]

@@Fredsinator Resolution cant upscale textures and 3d models (except gouraud and flat), only the edges. Dont mix resolution with graphics. The game may been less clear, but every piece of enviroment remains the same.

[@jacobrzeszewski6527]

Even by today’s standards this game has quarter decent graphics. Especially compared to games running on modern PCs with low settings.

Use component cables for ps2 or hdmi converter your welcome

[@MurCurieux]

For the hardware this game is amazing. I miss games that weren't broken on day 1

[@s727r]

I play this on pcsx2 as well, though I've got a 1050ti so only HD for me, but the upscaling on pcsx2 is really something. I still remember when a friend brought his Ps2 over, I'd been busy and hadn't had much time for gaming, I knew the Ps2 had just dropped, but hadn't seen it yet. My friend stuck on gt3 and I spent a hour just looking through the dealerships, graphics were such a huge jump from ps1, as was the 293mhz cpu. Still the best console ever in my opinion.

[@BlazeReborn2]

I remember playing this back in the day and thinking "wow, the graphics look so realistic".

[@awildfurret]

Well, what do you expect? Its GT3

[@Nordlicht05]

this year 2019 i start playing gt3 for the first time... but on pc

[@kzbxvz]

It's no question why this racing game was the king in 2001, crystal clear graphics top notch music playability beyond belief and above all a deep feeling for the game.

[@MrSamPhoenix]

I remember when the first batch of PS2 coming out and thinking… not much different or better than the Sega Dreamcast. But then this game and others came out (Metal Gear Solid 2)… we knew a game like this proved Sony was not BSing about the PS2’s capabilities. This game is stunning to say the least.

[@mrcarlosmichaelsen]

First game I saw from PS2. I remember exactly the moment... I only became amazed, with no words.

[@selfhelpgroup8750]

As beautiful and complex and detailed as games have become, I don't think anything will surpass the PS2/Xbox era for innovation, excitement and the sheer joy of gaming. I don't want to come across as exclusionary, but this period was peak geek, when being a gamer still felt a bit like being part of a secret society. Or maybe I'm just being nostalgic, dunno...

[@Goodwillwinoverevil1984]

I wouldn't say secret. In 2002, I bet there were plenty of ps nerds in their respective caves having awesome hope for the millennium!

[@johnnyvt9]

I remember playing this in our living room. My dad came in and thought he was watching a race on tv. He kept saying, "that guy can't drive." My father was 61 at the time though. He had no idea games looked that good yet.

[@televisionandcheese]

PS2 is so powerful! This game looks like.it could have come out in 2017!!

[@DJ_Thanos]

Now you over exaggerate

[@televisionandcheese]

DJ Thanos No seriously!! Look at it! It it looks just as good as 2017 racing game! Yes if you look closely you can see the polygons and some of the backgrounds look a bit old, but if you compare a screenshot from a 2017 game like forza or something, and look at this, it really looks very similar!

Christ sake the memories with my dad, we used to play this game together all the time

[@AZAZEL_TK]

Kazunori needs to get off that damn cloud he is in and give us a GT game that surpasses this. He has all the money and resources to do it but all he wants is for his games to look good. What about the thrill of a race? What about the emotion of anticipation one gets when they get off work and go straight into playing GT? What about that raw fierce competition of racing you feel when one plays GT3 and how thats lost in the new GTs? Kazunori, PLEASE. I implore you

[@frankwhitedbrz]

i will say this, GT4 is a better game overall than GT3,more cars,more things to do,It is a fantastic game,i still play It to this day and it is amazing in every aspect,but GT3 is the most popular game in the series,and for a good reason,its a awesome and overall funnier game,the ost is the best of the franchise by far imo,the cars are better looking, better sounding,idk i may be very well speaking bullshit here but this game holds a very special place in my heart,i never got any longer in terms of progress(not that i remember)in game but the little things make the magic happen,the cars,the races,the ost,the feel,this game was so special,i miss it so much.

[@HeavyMetalDriver666]

[@phazed6302]

@Dean Saputra Not the point... Calm down... He was making a point that, for the time, the cars had really great textures, and really good poly work on the models. So yes you are correct because PCSX2 has those settings, but at the end of the day, you can upscale a N64 game all day, doesn't change the fact it looks like it came out in the 90s.
