You know a game is good when you feel nostalgic for it despite having played it first when you were 18. At least that's how it was for me! GT4 will always be the goat 🐐 Great review!

[@strikerecho2592]

While I do prefer GT3 in terms of simplicity and personality, I have to admit GT4 is incredible and I’m glad I played it over the Christmas break last year up to the start of May.

gt5 is better then gt4 more cars/tracks 1080p 60fps similar physics & great online play

[@Swat_Dennis]

@@michaelgomez4994 I dislike the progression though. 3 and 4 were the best games. Gran Turismo 5 is where it started to go downhill… Levels for cars? PP? GT6? No second hand market. Can buy everything if you get the money… And they force a starter car on you… And GT7 is the worst with those menu books

[@hypernucle]

major thing for me is that GT4 can be easily emulated on PC & Android phones, while GT5 & GT6 is still not so stable for emulation

[@StarDestroyer362]

@@michaelgomez4994 I never played thr GT ganes online so the campaign is the most important part for me. I recently tried out GT5 and although it isn't bad I disliked the leveling system and the number of events. So I booted up GT6 and I am having a blast with it, there are more events, more cars, no leveling system. I qm currently at International B events and after I am done I am going to go back and check out GT4 since I recently restored and softmoded my old PS2 Slim. But so far after playing GT5, GT PSP, GT6 and GT Sport I can say that GT6 is the best in the series for my. But who knows maybe GT4 will change my oppinion.

[@StarDestroyer362]

@@Swat_Dennis The leveling system in GT5 ain't good but having PP is kind of nice as it limits your ability to cheese events and encourages you to get more cars and upgrade your existing ones

In high school instead of partying, we would play the endurance races. In lieu of alcohol, it would be water and energy drinks. Naps in between turns. I'd give everything to go back to those days.

[@Zim5.0]

This game was one of the best games I've ever played in my childhood. But I can't see myself finishing it ever. It's just too long. When I was a kid time felt limitless. Now I always feel like I'm running out of it.

[@automobilistic]

GT3 and GT4 are the reason I'm into cars today. I used to get up super early on weekends to go downstairs, boot up the playstation and play these games until my parents pried me away. I can admit that my feelings towards these games are heavily influenced by that nostalgia, but having played them both on PCSX2 since, I really do believe they are some of the greatest racing games of all time, even today. The plethora of weird and quirky cars in GT4 especially had me fascinated, and it became a big part of what I do now, all these years later. I thoroughly enjoyed the re-review!

I played all the games with my dad at around 8 or 9 years old. He stopped at GT3 saying it didn't feel as good anymore (I think he liked arcade style games more at that point in his life). I kept going with GT3-GT7. I want to show him 2 and then 7 this week for Christmas. I think it would blow him away as he really has not followed gaming since GT2-GT3 oddly enough. Also your content reminds me of those days with dad. It's a good memory I am making with your amazing content.

[@prophecyking3448]

A tip for B-spec when in an emulatior: Pressing "Tab" key turns on the Turbo mode which lets the game run at double the speed. You can also press "F4" to unlock the frame limiter and let the game run as fast as your computer can run it. When combined with X3 speed from the telemetry screen you can really drop the times needed for the endurance races if you want to go through them using B-spec. You just have to pay attention to re-apply the telemetry fast forward every time the driver pits, but you should be able to finish a 24h race in less than 4 hours this way.

Two weeks before my 9th birthday, I was in the hospital for a week with pneumonia. When I got out, my parents let me get a PS2 and this game for it.

[@GT3-787B]

IMHO GT3 is still my favourite of the entire series, the PAL soundtrack, the way cars handle, the variety of tracks and championships, Arcade Mode still being a thing were you can both try out cars that you have yet to obtain in GT Mode while maintaining a feeling of progression, and many other things (like the 2 ending movies). I'd argue that GT4 is objectively the best game of the series, easily, but GT3 just hits me way harder both thanks to nostalgia as well as being a great game on its own. Still, GT4 was so much fun. I miss GT games being this good. Great review!

[@xXVibrantSnowXx]

To each their own, personally GT4 is best in everything in the entire series

[@M2orNot]

The rear car camera always felt ok for me because it allows me to see the next corner quicker in twisty circuits but I still prefer the hood view in pretty much every game I play. Lovely video on perhaps my favorite game (of any genre) of all time.

This was one of my favorite games when I was 10.

[@XxM0BEUS1xX]

Damn I remember attempting then24 hour at the nurburgring, and using b spec mode to help me out when I needed a break or just wanted the game to play for me for a littlembit while I went did other things. All in all it still took like 13 or 14 hours but man, the prize money and winning a formula 1 car for theneffort was so worth it. That was one of my childhood highlights in gaming.

[@WickedlNl]

This game will forever be ingrianed in my childhood, still the best GT. Got a platinum on GT7 but this game has so much memmories.

[@slickstretch6391]

The game pacing is SOOO much better if you take the license test as you need to progress. Not only does it help you to net get burned out on the tests, but you won't start out with 1 or 2 over powered cars, meaning you'll have more incentive to explore the different cars in the game. I used to do it your way, and it took me so long to see the light...

[@01Zipang]

you can also use frameskipping to make the endurance races very quickly end on b-spec.

[@TheDragonfly256]

29:57 I couldn't disagree more, stiff camera is akin to bumper or roof cam, where camera is stiff and rigidly connected to a car because you need to instantly see any car movement, I actually hate floating 3rd person camera because every car movement is very poorly communicated like having a delay (sometimes it can even block you from seeing turn apex), some people like floaty camera which is i guess easier at first, but if you want to extract every bit of performance out of car and track you need stiff locked camera.

[@NotAVtuberPinkyPromise]

Fun thing I found out emulating this on the steam deck- GT4 supports controllers with analog triggers! God knows if these existed when the game came out, but their inclusion makes the game shockingly modern when emulated with a modern pad.

[@rapidemboar4625]

I've been playing GT4 a bunch on emulator lately, and it really does breathe new life into an already excellent classic. Playing the game with a Logitech G29 wheel really makes each car feel far more distinct, and even the force feedback is emulated properly! Connecting the game to RetroAchievements also adds a lot of challenge as many of the set's achievements require me to limit my car's power for more A-Spec points and drive cars I never would have tried otherwise, as well as adding online leaderboards for license tests and certain time trial challenges. All that, along with upscaling textures and adjusting the chase camera, greatly improves what was already an excellent experience. It's great to see all the improvements people have been adding to these games in recent years, including the GT2 Plus and GT3 Epilogue mods.

This game was a major part of my childhood One of the many things I remembered was taking any variety of sports car (usually thhe Cien) and racing a head-to-head to win that Toyota rally concept, solely to sell it again and again to buy something else. Another one was Buying the Saleen with said money, and getting its horsepower to 800, which was mind-blowing for me at that age.

[@timgt5]

Still my fav in the series, I would love to see a full 4K remake, the Times Square, Grand Canyon and El Captain would be glorious.

[@prophecyking3448]

One more thing for anyone wanting to start playing the game: 1.6.0 PCSX2 lets you use the Qemu wheel plugin, the 1.7.X Nightly versions do not support wheels, but run much better and let you use mods more easily. Since I'm running with a wheel I run on the former. When using that, in Emulation Settings change EE/IOP Clamping Mode from Normal to Full (but only after you finish the licence tests), this fixes the text display issues. In Video GS Plugin settings, disable the Large Framebuffer, enable hardware hacks and in that submenu enable Merge Sprite, Wild Arms Offset, put in Half-pixel Offset to Special (Texture-aggresive), Round Sprite to Full and Texture Offset to X:60 and Y: 00 - This will make the rims on the cars not shake during the replays like you can see in this video.

On the A-Spec points I gave myself a challenge that I've been really enjoying. Can't get B licence until 5,775 points, A until 13,200, IB until 21,900, IA until 32,175, and S until 42,900. It forces me to play tougher races, while giving me the option to curbstomp the AI with a faster car if for some reason a particular race is giving me too much trouble. Certain events will be easy to get 200pts while in others it's impossible (to me) to hit 70. The calculation for the points requirement was really scuffed, at first I looked up the event list and I calculated the points needed assuming 100pts per race, plus the events where the points are fixed, but then mid-game realized there are some races you can't get 100pts in (like the spec races), and that there are unlicenced and B-licenced races you can't access until after you have to get the A licence, so I lazily divided the numbers I had by 100 and multiplied the result by 75. Still working great thus far.

Last month I finally, FINALLY beat GT4 (100%) after owning the game for almost 15 years. On PCSX2 but still, I finally did it. All A Spec too. It was such a great feeling finally finishing the last lap at Le Sarthe 24H and receiving my black Formula GT.

What I remember? Pennzoil Nismo Skyline GTR on Norschleife over and over again to set new private records. And nowadays, still hopiong it comes on PC to in some time. Imagine this game, in native 4K with 60+ fps with full gpu power

The issue I feel other people have after playing the first few playthrough of GT3 or 4 is that they know what kind of car give them the best chance of winning in certain events and then end up doing the same thing as they did in other events and its why they most likely find the game boring after replaying it. I have been playing GT4 for almost 2 decades now in 2 years or so and havent been bored after replaying over 10 times if not more. instead of using the same cars in events as the old playthrough just simply use different cars and switch it up a little. that is the beauty of GT4 and its endless amount of cars! its the fact that you can always change up the strategy and make it different with each saves!

22:48 When Jeremy Clarkson played the NSX in Laguna Seca, he chose Sports Medium tyres that comes preset in GT4 to make it easy for beginners. He should have changed it to Comfort Soft tyres which is modeled after the UHP tyres the NSX would have had as stock. Sports Medium are track tyres. With comfort soft, I was barely 3 seconds quicker than Jeremy's real life time.

For me, while I accept that it's technically the "best" GT game of the first 4, it just takes itself too seriously to really enjoy it. I never felt the desire to try and get anywhere near 100 percent completion because some of the events are just tedious. If you're a total car nut, it's basically perfection but for just a casual racing game fan, it's a bit much. GT3 is still my favorite of the 4 games because it hit that happy medium. It may have less tracks and cars but I just found the racing more fun and, let's be honest, a lot of the cars included in GT4 are cars you wouldn't even want to drive anyway. GT4 is the ultimate car simulator but GT3 is the better racing game.

One thing to ad about GT3 and GT4 if you try emulation, it simply won't feel the same because the PS2 had pressure sensitive buttons that GT3 and GT4 took full advantage of.

There is a fix to add that back into GT4.If you google "gt4 silents blog", you can find it

Great video man! I’ve still only played GT5, GT6, GTS & GT7, I really need to pick up a PS2 and the older GT games one day!
