[@fanzach9524]

I was trying to figure out if GT3 had progressive scan since there isn't any setting for it on the game, so I searched ''gran turismo 3 rowdy'' and you posted this comment 2 hours ago, please

[@DeolTheBeast]

Miss this game so much I remember playing GT3 for the first time as a kid and could not believe how real it looked. The graphical jump from GT1/2 to 3 was just insane. To see it looking so sharp 20 years later does not surprise me - this is prime Polyphony Digital setting the bar for the era.

[@Martinec1998]

PD did set a new standard for the whole racing game genre!

[@philippcsapo3000]

Totally agreed with you ! GT3 was like a whole new world after GT2

[@alhemmings8554]

vividly remember seeing a close up of the wheel rims on the Pennzoil Skyline in Playstation magazine and thinking how could they get them to look real! I sure miss the days where a new system meant a true leap in graphical fidelity and physics.

[@Bkokane]

Looks so good. The lights at night time were unreal for the time. And the last GT that had a good chase cam…

[@juanignacioaschura9437]

I think GT Sport has a nice chase cam as well, as close to GT3 as possible.

[@Bkokane]

@@juanignacioaschura9437 True if you have the sensitivity set to 0, but there’s a bug that’s been in the game since launch that you have to change the sensitivity again every time you load up the game, or it resets back to stiff cam, even though the sensitivity slider is still at 0, and they don’t seem to have any desire to fix it

[@apexgt4]

Gran Turismo psp has a very similar chase cam. But I must be in the minority as I prefer gt4 onwards

[@BrucifyMe]

GT4's chase cam was actually not bad IMO. Agree that GT5 onwards totally ruined it though. Feels so sterile. Cockpit view in GT Sport is at least animated enough that it makes up for it.

[@RowdyGT]

I think it was changed to stiff from GT4 onwards for wheel users. Driving with a loose chase cam with the wheel is super confusing

[@TheCommenEagle]

I would say that due to the lack of the granular "filter" or whatever they is used on GT4 for example, that GT3 looks better than GT4 because the image (at least to me) is clearer and more crisp. Keep up the fun content.

[@Kudo716]

I feel like GT3 is a whole lot more colorful too.

[@VINOGAMING-ft7bi]

many aspects look better in GT3, but GT4 looks more natural, that's why GT4 looks more realistic than GT3

[@visceraeyes525]

pass whatever your smoking

[@ryanyeethegifted]

Exactlt

[@ESKATEUK]

GT4 looks better, look at the comparison of cote de azur on pc, GT4 clearly has more detail but GT3 is a little brighter and more colourful.

[@yogapradiptam]

love how the camera tailing the car, feels more natural than the newer gen GT

[@roddyjarrar728]

That is exactly what makes this game better than gt4 in my opinion. That and the music (except for gt4's moon over the castle)

[@yogapradiptam]

@@roddyjarrar728 yeah the main menu music vibe 😁 maybe the geneva concept version was the best GT, it has GT3 chase cam but GT4 car pool

[@andan91]

You can change the sensitivity of the chase a camera to make it just like this in GT Sport though.

[@Daniel-vi1yw]

@@yogapradiptam Try GT4 Prologue, it has also chase cam from GT3

[@yogapradiptam]

@@Daniel-vi1yw ah yes, forgot to mention that version, also tokyo geneva concept still has type of gt3 chase cam

[@zingythelemon7949]

The GT3 chase camera was the best out of all the GT games, I hate the stiff tight chase cam from other racing games even AC.

[@GTChucker86]

At least with GT Sport and soon on GT7. You can fiddle with the camera settings to get this exact 3rd person dynamic camera

[@ThomasP187]

This game is such a masterpiece and brings back so much nostalgia.

[@Steventhe2nd]

such a masterpiece, to this day, i still play this game from the first time i saw my eyes on it, which was around 2001 or 2002 that's how much i love GT3

[@gustavocastillo9954]

I played it a lot growing up in the early 2000's on my PS2. I've recently dived more into the world of PC gaming. I'm so happy that we can play our beloved childhood games in higher quality now

[@Steventhe2nd]

[@adamlach6572]

same here. I to an extend collect racing games on different platform (ps1, ps2, ps3, ps4, psp, xbox, xbox 360, pc), not for the sake of collecting, but because i enjoy playing them - no doubt Gran Turismo 3 has to be in my top 3 most often played (GT2 i play even more often, and then maybe Enthusia Professional Racing, or Project Cars 2). Incredible game, aged like a fine wine both gameplay wise but also visually, because it's very clear and it runs great, and then the visual style is so great that this game just looks so pleasnt :)

[@mackalan]

Amazing, this and GT4 aged very well.

[@SJ-su1ki]

Gt3 was one the first games I ever got on ps2 and it’ll always have a special place in my heart

[@jackraptor695]

It makes me understand better how people lose their shit seeing the graphics when this game came in 2001

[@tacticalmattress]

It was the first racing game I played. Started it all for me.

[@kuramakun84]

This game was when GT games peaked in my opinion. I’m hoping the new one on PS5 makes me feel them same way GT 1,2 and 3 did back in the day.

[@matthewscottshea]

Well, I hope you didn't waste any money on the new one.

[@cameronb3834]

GT7 is good but it doesn’t have that ahead of its time type of feel like GT3. My only gripe about GT7 is the Camera angle isn’t really close and some of the tracks are a little forgetful.

[@WoLF_Rko]

Jumping from GT1 to this era like GT3 and GT4 was huge. Last big Jump was on PS3 on GT5 . Then only there are better detailed GT games. Just my opinion . Who agree ? like.

[@freddarau]

​@Dylan Smith it hurts to see legendary childhood video games like gran turismo die that.

[@camarokidbb4347]

I’d argue it looks amazing as was. Then again, I do have a bias considering I grew up with a PS2, and the fact it looks good on a genuine example is even more mind boggling considering it came out *over 20 years ago.* God I’m old.

[@AaronGoSoFast]

This was my jam back in the day. Hard to believe GT3 is over 20 years old now.

[@xXYannuschXx]

Holy crap, the night-time footage looks like something from an early PS3 game!

[@evilformerlys4704]

It doesn't look this crisp on a PS2 though, this is played using an emulator on PC, the output is far higher than what PS2 outputs, the game is much darker visually coming from the actual console, and things have a slight fuzzy look, I still own a PS2 and can tell you that a lot of these games were not made to be on LCD screens, GT4 in the other hand tried with it's 1080i output.

[@xXYannuschXx]

@@evilformerlys4704 Dude, I know this is from PCSX2, I use that aswell. The "fuzzy look" more than often comes from interlacing (hence the "i" in 1080i); games that used interlacing also often had massive motion blur, to hide the interlacing. Still, its surprising how friggin good GT3 looks, especially in terms of color accuracy. FYI: interlacing wasnt so problematic on CRTs, due to the way they worked.

[@jacky_cola]

However this is PSCX, the game is still the same. There is no HD Textre mod or anything else. GT3 was amazing. So many games have shit like popping up objects on the horizon (or later) or trees getting extra leaves when you get closer. And no stupid useless effects and filters that look nice but are completely unrealistic. They tried to make a good looking game and they did. Plus even on the PS2 version, back then you would play on a rather small CRT TV and the resolution would be no problem! Sure this looks bad on a huge HD flatscreen today. But back then it would almost look like watching a race on television, that was amazing.

[@mackalan]

@@evilformerlys4704 So?, I played the game on my PS2 and still looks good, only the resolution changes here. You probably are an Xbox fanboy.

[@ShadowGaro]

I remember I first played this game at an uncle's house who had a $8,000 plasma (these days you could probably pick up the same one for $1,000) with the PS2 hooked up. I picked a rally stage and when I first saw those dust effects my jaw dropped. It was unlike anything else at the time. This was one of the first games you could play and people watching would say that it looked like real life.

[@jonathanj.3695]

The graphics in this game blew my mind when I was a kid. They amazed me so much that I actually never looked back to Nintendo nor ever wanted a Nintendo console ever again.

[@cristianhernandez-leon8871]

Your driving in Tahiti Circuit II was pretty great.

[@adamlach6572]

on crt tv it looks just as good with original hardware (i mean ps2) - my favourite looking game off all time along with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and GRID (for me never might but doesn't need to mean better - visuals are subjective thing, and for me gt3 looks just so crisp and so pleasnt, and stylish). Also one of the best racing games ever :) Probably my most often replayed racing game along with GT2

[@Simon-ef1zj]

GT3 is still for me the most graphically impressive game, for the time... Current gen is impressive but I still don't feel as blown away as when GT3 first released.

[@DeltaStridePLZ]

We need more GT3 content Mr.Rowdy. I love GT4 the most though but I can still appreciate GT3
