Gran Turismo 4

[@BawesomeBurf]

Looks like the online aspect of GT7 is even worse than I thought. You can't even save your game without being online.

Would love to hear some Tokyo Xtreme Racer series guitar riffs. Series has some memorable music. GT4 is absolutely amazing. I wish I would've given it more time around its release.

[@BawesomeBurf]

No promises, but I will keep it in mind. I am trying to learn more video game stuff on guitar.

Nice cover!

Man, I love the PS2 controller. I hear you on the pressure sensitive buttons though. On the games that use them I have found them to not be *too* bad (pretty sure Ridge Racer V uses them, and even Eternal Ring!), but thankfully the majority of the library does not use them. Regarding the GT games, I still to this day have not given them a chance. Sim racers were never my cup of tea back in the day, but I think I could see myself getting into them now. Have you streamed the OG PS1 titles here? I know with 3 and on in particular they are loaded with licensed music, so I probably wouldn't want to do them here thanks to the copyright claims I'd get from them.

[@BawesomeBurf]

That's a big reason why I haven't streamed any of them, they all have licensed music. GT5, 6, and PSP all have options for custom soundtracks though. I was thinking about possibly streaming GT5 in the future and filling the soundtrack with my own songs and some cool video game tunes that won't get my stream blocked. I do really like the PS2 controller. The pressure sensitive buttons always mess me up in this game though. I'll be on a straightaway and realize that I'm not at full throttle so I end up pressing the buttons extra hard to compensate.

[@GameplayandTalk]

@@BawesomeBurf Damn! That's a shame, but good to know. I wonder if it's possible to mute the music and leave sound effects playing? That would be another option for me. I actually did that with my PS1 DOOM stream a couple weeks back. Played my own music and it seemed to work well. I really would like to start with the PS1 originals if I can, but I do have 3 and 4 on PS2 as well.

I also play dirty so I like it when cars take "real" damage. GT feels more like a car portfolio to me. Licenses are not appealing either. Wreckfest is my favourite racing game because it is simple arcade fun yet with complex physics and damage system. Absolute chaos.

[@BawesomeBurf]

I'll have to look into that game.

[@BioPhoenixReviews]

i never played 4 at all for some reason but i do remember the tests were the worst part in these games. very funny rants though

[@BawesomeBurf]

It's cool when they are optional. That way the more casual fan can just start racing and earning right away, and the hard-core crowd can still get their license fix.

[@CynicalGamingBlogTerry309]

I'd rather just play arcade racing games because they don't have all the bullcrap sim racing games have. And yeah I hated the licenses in GT2.

[@BawesomeBurf]

They're basically mandatory tutorials if you want to experience the full game. Except you can fail these tutorials.

[@DWDrums123123]

Oof, Do I have a game for you.....need for speed.

[@BawesomeBurf]

I do really like the PS1 NFS games. Haven't played much of the series since. But I imagine none of them have the same physics or career structure of the GT games.
