Gran Turismo 3 OPS2M Demo - Secret and Beta Tracks

Here are all the tracks on the GT3 OPS2M Demo, except Trial Mountain and Laguna Seca which are already playable. So if you want to see them, check out my gameplay video of this demo. Anyway, there are a handful of beta tracks that were later cut and some more familiar tracks which contain beta features. Thanks to GTPXenn for the codes!

[@cobaltodesertico1749]

The beta super speedway its a remasterized version of the gran turismo 2 super speedway!

[@Barluke]

***** Too sad they didn't keep it, covered turn looked awesome Same for SSR11, they should have kept the 2 versions

[@DavidRSAT]

GhostsKuriboh :(

[@MsSirAndy]

@RoadhogTime13 hope in gt7 have them back, revenge :)

[@xxdeadchannelxx]

Imagine if NASCAR had a race here at this track. It would be amazing to see.

[@ChimaeraCarnage]

Man I wish route 11 still existed

[@BronyBladeGaming]

I think we can recreate it on GT5

[@Peelster1]

@@BronyBladeGaming It's been recreated in GT6.

[@cozmicvideos702]

Test 2: Short track oval. I wonder why only Turns 1 and 2 are banked. Round: Circle track, apparently the 30m one from GT2, or perhaps a completely new one since it seems a little smaller. Test: Figure-of-8. Has a really bad glitch on the bridge. Super Speedway: Seems to have some missing scenery, but seems to be the most finished of the shown tracks. Oddly, it's the GT2 track updated to GT3 standards, covered Turns 3 and 4 and everything. SSR5 Wet: Has wet tarmac and physics but the track is identical to GT2 SSR5. Unless it was like that in the final (excuse me for not having played GT3 that much), it seems weird. Rome: Clearly a WIP of the GT3 version of the track. Missing some scenery. SSR11: A hybrid of the GT1 and the GT3 versions of the track. Scenery seems to be from GT1, but some of it already deleted to make way for the new scenery, some of which (like the tunnel and some sponsor logos) have already been applied. Roads and walls use updated textures. Track still uses the GT1 layout. Tokyo R246: Contains some glitchy, unproportional trees after turn 1. Lots of missing scenery. Isn't barebones, but still seems to be a quite early version of the track. Seattle: Seems to still have some low-quality GT1 textures here and there, but seems mostly finished. Is set during the sunset, like the final version, but the headlights don't come on yet, while in the final, they do. Apricot Hill: Pretty much finished. Still has some missing scenery. Midfield: Same as Apricot Hill. TDR3: Being a leftover from GT2, quality issues are quite glaring. Scenery on the main straight is completely gone. Apart from that, it's identical to GT2, bar the scenery and outer barriers of the last few corners being completely gone. Tahiti Maze: Home straight is still dirty, though this was changed for the final. Track seems like a GT3-ified version of the GT2 track. Deep Forest: Near identical to the final GT3 version. Test Course: Couldn't be any more barebones. Apparently, Test Course was just started. At the start of the showcase you can see what appears to be the tunnel that would end up in the final version of the track. It's roughly the same length as said tunnel. However, the track seems to have originally been planned to keep its 4km length. Complex String: Lacks any sort of scenery, but was definitely worked on more than Test Course as it contains runoffs and proper road texture. Monte Carlo: In addition to missing scenery, a lot of the scenery that isn't missing still lacks its texture, making it appear a bland, solid white. Exiting the tunnel, you can spot a glitch in the background in which there's an empty space in the mountain. Smokey Mountain North: This track does not appear in GT3 final at all, or does it? Vastly different from the GT2 version, with a tunnel near the end that was never there in GT2, updated textures, and now set during the sunset. Like Seattle, however, no headlights. Seems to have been worked on quite a lot before being scrapped as there's very little missing scenery. Starting place is wrong, however, leaving you off the map. Smokey Mountain South (Swiss Alps): Already uses its GT3 and onwards "Swiss Alps" layout, but the map still points to its GT2 layout. Some missing scenery. Circle 100: A bigger circle track. This one wasn't worked on much, unlike its smaller counterpart. Like Smokey Mountain North, the starting position is in the wrong place. Also, cars are overly shiny when playing this track, reminding me of the "rogo-test" track from GT1 which was a version of Autumn Ring Mini with the same problem. Grand Valley: Looks almost nothing like the final, resembling more a GT3-ified version of the GT2 track. Inside kerb at Turn 1 is different from the final game. Different road texture, with center marks, which aren't there in the final. Missing scenery in Turn 7. Different cliffside texture at the exit of the first tunnel. Bridge after the 2nd tunnel is completely different and resembles more the GT2 track. 3rd tunnel has no lights at all on the left side, which was changed in the final, and a gigantic empty space from the exit of the 3rd tunnel all the way to the final corner, and missing advertisement boards everywhere. Grand Valley changed a LOT in the final version, and I wish they at least kept the old bridge.

[@NoGoodNames-iv8ly]

+CozmicVideos Smokey Mountain North is in the final version, but now simply known as Smokey Mountain.

[@oniinu]

Weird how you call the Azure Coast 'Monte Carlo' where are you getting that from?

[@wunyons]

Ody -Chan The real life track is known as monte carlo and Monaco

[@SP84Fanatic]

I love how Super Speedway in this is a higher-quality version of the track in GT2, complete with awnings over the bleachers and the latter curve of the track.

[@RandomCarGuy17]

Great video as usual Matt. I kinda wished that PD kept the early version of Super Speedway in GT3, it looked a lot better imo. These early demos of GT3 also explain some of the obscure pictures I've seen in my GT3 strategy guide.

[@carsorsomethingidk]

I mean just look at the reflections at the night maps. It reflects so incredibly fast, it looks like a game coming of a PS3 almost.

[@inksankebabpizzeriayt4551]

the gt4 looks like an early ps3 game doesn't it

[@MMR_LM]

So Smokey Mountain South got changed a bit then got renames to Swiss Alps? Never knew that.

[@Aunini]

When you put the two track outlines next to each other, it becomes easier to tell

[@Skarfar90]

Never knew the original SS R11 was in the beta of GT3. They even rounded off the chicane underneath the starting area. Also, this version of Grand Valley appears to be a remaster of the original. Completely different to the version that was present in the final build.

[@NoGoodNames-iv8ly]

Test 2 and Test: Two strange test tracks. Test 2 starts you out going the wrong way, and has cones in the banked corner, which BTW, you can't knock them down like cones in the final, and they change to black from the front bumper cam. Also, the cones seem HUGE compared to the final version. Test has the strangest / glitchiest crossroad ever. What was this supposed to test? Running under the road like at tracks like Midfield and SSR5? And it has strange squares which change colors in major collisions. Round: Likely to test GT3's turning radius. Super Speedway: Based on the GT2 version, with changes made to modernize the track. Also, am I the only one to notice a glitch on the windows of the pit lane building? (half the windows are blue, but the other half are brown) SSR5: Only the wet version exists in this demo. Clearly based off GT2's SSR5, the track doesn't appear to be finished as the reflections are similar to the ones you get if you load Circle 100 (later in the video) Rome: Identical to the final product. Different / missing boards appear to be the only difference. There is a noticeable difference though. On the main straight, the grandstands on the left are missing. SSR11: Originally used its GT1 layout. Some elements of the course are completely different, such as the tunnel turn and the area after it. Tokyo R246: Unfinished. Only 1 AI can drive the course proper, and there's some untextured buildings here and there, and much of the course is completely different. Seattle: Mostly finished. Different road texture, missing ad boards here and there, Potenza billboards were older Havoline logos here (like the Havoline boards you see in GT2), grandstand missing in the last turn before the final chicane. Apricot Hill: Unfinished. Lot's of scenery missing here, as well as lots of very different sections of the track. Midfield: Little bit different in this demo. Mostly finished, with some elements coming from GT2. I kinda like it better than the final version. TDR3: Unfinished. Lots of missing scenery. What's finished looks identical to its GT2 version. Tahiti Maze: Unfinished as half the AI stop at the start, then start back up again. Quite a bit of scenery is missing. It appears it uses the GT2 layout, with a modernization as there is a tarmac section around the same spot in the final game. Front straightaway looks identical to the final version. Deep Forest: Similar to the final version, but not by much. While some sections are identical, others are very different. Such as the back stretch with the two tunnels, the first tunnel is completely different. I like this version better. Test Course: Very unfinished. Looks like it was just started just days before the demo came out. I still think this is an extremely early build of Test Course '00s (a.k.a. Driving Park Test Course) rather than Test Course '90s. I recently did a race on Test Course '90s in GT2, and used the RUF CTR2 like the one used in this video, and I didn't shift into 6th gear in the turns like you did. Only way to know is to search in earlier demos for Test Course... Complex String: Uses a different, and much harder layout. I like it better. Cote D' Azur: Very unfinshed, lots of untextured buildings. SMNorth: Similar to the final version. Most notable differences are the Dodge boards from GT2 rather than Renault boards, and the location of the first checkpoint. SMSouth: Unfinished. Uses old layout for the track map. Missing scenery here and there. Incorrect start / finish location. Circle 100: Very unfinished. Reflections similar to SSR5. Set at a mountain like setting rather than the night time city setting in the final. You start in the middle of the track. Grand Valley: Based off its GT1 and GT2 versions. I like this version better.

[@G2097]

Nice! Very cool to see the tracks in what must be a pre-alpha state, especially Monaco. Grand Valley looks totally different as well! I think I think I like that version better, actually.

[@carsorsomethingidk]

Looking back at this game, you can just see how ahead this game graphically was compared to other games in 2002 when this demo came out. I still think to this day with GT6 that Gran Turismo is one of the best racing games of all time.

[@SassyPaddy]

I like the results screen of this demo..

[@midorifox]

it's not from Gt2.

[@Levin_Pilot_246]

GhostsKuriboh he is talking about the song that comes from Gran Turismo 2 after you beat a race but yeah, LingFox is right that the results screen isn't from GT2

[@karelpipa]

I see they didnt develop Monaco much more than it was in Gran Turismo 2 :) Also, with demise of releasing demos, we cannot expect anything like this with PS4 gen GT. Thats a big down for me. Internet caused this! :)

[@zazxazza]

Aw I wish they kept the chicane/GT1 version of SSR11! and can you tell me the way to access these tracks? I am working on a GT3 Beta Restoration.

[@Sapizanza]

Zonda offroad woaahhhh

[@submaniac93]

Why did they have to change SS Route 11!? It was better this way...

[@apexgt4]

Most of these tracks look so bland. The added so much stuff later that we take for granted. The tracks are basically gran turismo 1 and 2 remastered

[@ShaunInce123]

The beta version of Special Stage Route 11 used the old GT1 chicane layout. I kinda wish they hadn't redesigned it in the final version. I like the original layout more. They should bring that version of Route 11 for GT6. Or they could give us the old & newer versions for GT6. That would be pretty sweet.

[@MozrowDrops]

On stage Route 5 wet, those wet textures, or actual game engine rendered reflections?

[@BronyBladeGaming]

I think actual game Engine rendered reflections

[@wolfstalker4372]

I like these Tokyo R246 and SSR11 versions. Cote D'Atur without textures is bit interesting too.

[@aidangarvey7049]

I actually like the super speedway that you accessed in this video better than the one in the game. It has nice variety.

[@NoGoodNames-iv8ly]

Just a recommendation: DON'T watch this video if you use good headphones. They really didn't think about you in 2001 when they made this music.

[@ST170Thomas]

why that?

[@Legend0P]

Out of all the videos I could feel nostalgia for, I choose this as one of them for some reason.

[@Kudo716]

5:40 imagine seeing wet roads that look that good in 2000... Must've been mind blowing.

[@SP84Fanatic]

It's a shame Route 11 in this video didn't carry over into the final game, complete with the underground section and "death chicane."

[@qmto]

OK, Test course was pretty funny to watch.

[@Gamerjman19]

It's weird seeing the GT2 textures and models in GT3, some parts of the map like Super Speedway look a lot better.

[@stulchmulch227]

But what I don’t get is what the developers try to test with these random test tracks like the first one. You can’t properly test physics here, the game engine, graphics, AI driving. I only see a debugging aspect especially since you sometimes fall into the void or glitch into the ground. That makes them useless for developers to test anything

[@Levin_Pilot_246]

HAHAHAHA! all tracks that looked like Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, AI Drivers focus on the map that looked like the Laguna Seca trace tracks, and they get stuck instead of following the prototype track layouts! HAHAHAHAHA! >:D

[@KaterinUA5]

+008AgentSecret Because originally most of this beta tracks they weren't finished.

[@BluChemical9087]

I always wondered why that track map layout was there, probably because it was the first map to be made in GT3?

[@KaterinUA5]

Logan 9087 It was a "placeholder map", was also used for GT4 Prologue...

[@NoGoodNames-iv8ly]

+KaterinRU I think it actually was because he chose Laguna Seca on the track selection screen, but for the tracks that have no map finished I think it just loads the map of the track you selected on the track selection screen (think it works the same way in GT1 and GT2). I bet you if Matt chose Trial Mountain it would load Trial Mountain's map instead.

[@NoGoodNames-iv8ly]

+008AgentSecret Actually Tokyo R246 and Cote D' Azur have maps finished but the AI couldn't drive the track because it's a thing called unfinished AI coding.

[@gablol2307]

actually you can have those for real just first complex string in time trial, rome go race , first track you hack it its laguna seca next treack was in the lisense super speed way you can have it in every ting for race not like this but you can have this, ssr5 you can have it in the go race iven in wet mode its esay, ssr 11 to,tokyo r246 to, seatle in go race and license ,apricot hill to mid feld and Tahiti maze to smokey mountain grand valley , and the rest of them are laguna secs glitch up or race glitch up

[@Rampage9951]

I didn't know Rome Circuit Full Course have in GT 5, sadly that track not have anymore?

[@Roadhog360]

It it possible to play on these tracks in the full version using cheats? I have my old action replay ps2 disc collecting dust waiting to get used.

[@RedFlameFox]

Test course is the best track in the game

[@heimanlee5955]

Oh, and this video is much darker than your previous ones. Maybe there's a problem with your recording device/software?

[@rtrojosh]

why didnt they keep that race results screen??? that looks so cool!

[@simteknemesis]

can you upload the beta soundtrack version = ) ?

[@Outmaced121]

Smokey mtn south is replaced by the Swiss Alps track due to their likeness

[@heimanlee5955]

(Still continued!) The Tahiti courses has the better sky, and the objects for the background are totally unfinished. Did they just deleted the building on the Deep Forest's starting line? I can barely recognize the Test Course as I thought the CTR2 is floating. The Complex String has a wider corner after the 90-degree chicanes, mor curvy S-curves and the building at the starting line is missing. I've been laughing by looking at this Monaco GP-hilariously awkward!!

[@TheAwesomeDoritos-te5vs]

Love the music at 2:41-3:37 6:19-8:24 23:31-28:45

[@SeagoingJet]

25:41 Thank god this track never made into the game !!! XD

[@LibertyCity7682]

It is in the game. It's called complex string. Used for the licence tests and to test your car on. No races on it though but you can do a time trial on it

[@raysore_]

The 2nd track reminds me of the skidpad track from NFS: Porsche Unleashed. Big skidpad inside of a circular track, it exists and is located in Weissach, Germany.

[@jijou8260]

What controller are you using? It seems like you can maintain your speed without completely letting the go. (Dualshock 3). Are you using a pressure sensored controller perhaps?

[@fuzzo4475]

At 24:30, how on earth did that guy get out there? I didn't notice him driving out there from the track map. Did he spawn out there?

[@GTRufus]

08:50 why the hell did they change it on the final version? all they had to do is to turn on the lights...

[@RichardHaverland]

make a video with commentary over this 🙏

[@chris-om6bq]

Why is the music so friggin loud?

[@heimanlee5955]

The first three is very awkward, especially the "Test" one. Totally no idea for it's purpose. The Super Speedway is exactly the same as the Netz demo-the HD edition of the GT2 one. Wet Route 5 has Route 11 night view? Kind of awkward for the dawn after raining. I miss the old Rome and Rome-night in GT2. This one has the better sky than the final version.

[@fourty9933]

Route 11 was so awesome why did they change the underground section? :(((((

[@InfernotheFox]

Looking at some of the Beta tracks in this demo, it looked like Gran turismo 3 was initially going to just upgrade the graphics of certain tracks, retaining their looks from GT2. And thank god they changed SSR11's layout slightly in the finished product, as the GT1 layout pissed me off in the all-night endurances

[@Rampage9951]

Man, Special Stage Route 11 is so much better from GT 1, beautful sky, sunset, etc. and driving under freeway. Especially Rome Night from GT 2. PD really should bring both tracks back in GT6. They are amazing tracks and tons of fun if playing ONLINE!

[@MastaKilla63]

I never played GT3 or looked at anything to do with it. GT1 is the most memorable according to me.

[@youngbaby2616]

What Gran Turismo is this?

[@heimanlee5955]

(I'm just glad this is the last part of my comments...) Something's very wrong with the Smokey Mountain North. How can you start on the top of the bridge? And I don't see the reason why the South course is removed. Please don't tell me that 'Smokey Mountain South' is the Swiss Alps. How I miss the old Grand Valley-the PS1 one is like a course near the city and valley, but afterwards it's just a circuit based around the valley. The final version one is too lame!

[@heimanlee5955]

(continued) Very, very awkward to delete the old Route 11. This one should be called Special stage as it's longer, and the final version one should be Clubman as it's much easier. (The double chicanes are difficult, got it?) That's an unfinished Tokyo R246. A fenced first corner for Apricot Hill? Is this necessary? And now GT6 has the whole scenery makeover. Red and grey bricks on Midfield's tunnel walls? Very interesting but shame to be deleted at the final version.

[@TheXGamerX16]

In 24:14 the circuit is diving park

[@LukeyWolf]

What track is 25:48 supposed to be it looks awesome wish it was in the final version or they could resurrect it by putting it in GT6

[@iTsKoNvIcT]

grand valley theme is so much different theme in the beta

[@submaniac93]

Also, Thaiti Maze looked a lot better as a beta track i think.

[@Outmaced121]

months ago I wish for beta tracks, My wish has granted

[@Outmaced121]

I found a bug.

[@ZGearbox_AT]

It can not work, because the beta version has a different graphics engine than the final version.

[@rockstarsharma53]

How did u get a gtr onto the rally circuit ???

[@ZGearbox_AT]

It can not work, because the beta version has a different graphics engine than the final version.

[@Mitcho2001]

Just wondering, what's the name of the second song, because I'm so digging it!

[@Mitcho2001]

+MattJ155 I found it, and it's called "First Attack". But thanks for trying to help!

[@Suddenly_Audrey]

a lot of tracks went through very minor changes

[@girabyt3]

34:08 dude, that's swiss alps lol

[@TheInferno251]

Good job on finding the hidden tracks :) Btw were there any hidden vehicles in the demo?

[@GTvsForza]

Why is the Zonda's brake light all weird?

[@LukeyWolf]

Oh ok but I never remebered it nor seen it in GT3 PAL

[@AmeryLc]

23:30 Special Stage Route X ?

[@MMR_LM]

Test Course.

[@MrOzzification]

Anyone know the name of the 1st song that plays during the vid?

[@cratormoon10]

jay kj From the GT3 OST, the song is called "Concentration"

[@MrOzzification]

cratormoon10 Thanks, though I did manage to track down the song a while back (a bit confusing as GT3 has a licensed tracklist as well as an original soundtrack). It's been more than 10 years since I last played this game but the memories are still strong :')

[@TheXGamerX16]

36:19 is thack of the challenge international

[@MetalZeroFour]

How do you guys that make vids like this access this sort of stuff?

[@brandonnesfan]

Action replay and just sifting through the games files.

[@JakeMR2]

Let me give you a better explanation. On how to access these tracks via hex editing the data that exists on the disc in real by hexing the correct offset for a specific track. You may need PCSX2 and some hex editor used for editing Cheat Engine, and some type of decryption to view the files to get the correct offset in Cheat Engine. First you find the offset for an existing track, then once you have that find the offset of the other track that you can make PCSX2 think the set of instructions for disc leads to one of these tracks or cars specifically. It's kinda hard to explain since the ps2 uses 16 byte size for tracks only, and 8 bytes for the cars.

[@MetalZeroFour]

+Jakei's Productions Oooh okay thanks man!!

[@SuperFrizzio]

Nice video as always :D

[@guppyfishdaniel]

where did you get this beta?

[@guppyfishdaniel]

***** how are there cheats in a demo?

[@Bahraini_Carguy]

Daniel M (I know i'm late but still gonna reply). He meant using codes on Game shark, Action replay Max...etc so he could play the hidden tracks in the Files.

[@arjunshergill6786]

25:43 glad that track wasn't on GT3

[@Levin_Pilot_246]

+arjun shergill yep, still is called COMPLEX STRING, play the finished ver (Gran Turismo 3 A-spec) and you will be flipped out! hehehe! >:3

[@edge_rs9256]

R246殺風景すぎる。。。

[@LittleSpikeDragon]

Well, that's something I didn't notice; The Swiss Alps rally track is basically Smokey Mountain South with a couple of different sections.
