TOP 10 Facts about GRAN TURISMO 1

[@krazycharlie]

Many a gamer tend to forget that GT1 was released on a time when all other racing games had a total amount of 20 cars, in the best of cases. In comparison, GT1 had nearly 140, as Ness stated. That'a about 7 times more cars than any other of its contemporaries and if we take into account that every single car has different driving physics, then we're talking about a game that basically revolutionized the genre. I don't know about others but I'm really grateful to Sony and Polyphony Digital for giving us this beautiful game.

See I was fully aware of TVR as a kid growing up in the UK. Instead this taught me a lot about US and Japanese cars - it made the Viper my brother's favourite car but my favourite was already the Impreza from Colin McRae rally which released in the same year.

[@Driff97]

You and your brother rocks😜

[@uppercutgrandma4425]

Gran Turismo made me like TVR

[@arturwelp1877]

The Viper really shined for me in Test Drive 6, the Viper was really hard to drive as a child in Gran Turismo. But today, it's a joy to drift the Viper in the Stock championship

This Game Brings Back Memories

[@Eunos]

For me, The one thing Gran Turismo 1 has done better than any of it's sequels is the OST.. That's not to say the others have bad ones but GT1 just has the most memorable to me.. Many good memories of Racing to Lose Control by Ash and Sweet 16 by Feeder.. The Game itself is perhaps a little outdated now but I have no doubt I could still have fun with it.

[@benruether8294]

I miss the used car choices. It was most fun winning with a not so fast car, and barely any credits for upgrades.

[@KasumiRINA]

Well some music in Gran Turismo is literally Garbage! If flesh could crawl my skin would fall off from my bones and run away from here... as far from God... as Heaven is wide... as far from God... as angels could fly.

[@VoloKinProject]

I remember playing the Arcade mode split screen with my father.

[@x-volt8730]

Fun Fact: Actually this isn't the game to test out, Motor Toon Grand Prix the game also develop by PD release in 1994, the game was to test out the simulation such as suspension and dynamic force. Great video by the way.

[@FriedPlacentaBurger]

Somehow using the Forza 4 menu music, is very fitting for GT as well.

[@erikrempel]

Trial Mountain and Deep Forest were my favourite tracks. I would give up a toe to shred those tracks now. I wish the devs would bring those back..

[@karelpipa]

8:10 jason Page was given 14 days to complete the western soundtrack. He didnt even see the game, just heard about it as a next big racing game. He did an awesome job

[@FlipFreedom1997]

There is a reason why Gran Turismo 1 was the most sold ps1 game at that time. It's the best game of all time in my opinion.

[@antfolchiable]

Greatest franchise. I've been playing it since it came out and made many friends around the world racing with everyone.

There is another license trivia/fun fact I noticed as well. Gt1 maps in Grand Valley/autumn ring and other tracks doesn't have spectators in the stands whatsoever. Gt1 had made it's own maps customized for licenses rather than just taking part of track.

[@WTFHAX93]

The B6 and B7 tests on High Speed Ring also used an earlier version of the track, that was set up in a more sunset-ish time of day (that version of HSR is present in the Test Drive build of the game)

[@Neo-Midgar]

I'm glad Ness is still making the kind of videos that brought me to the channel in the first place

[@Driff97]

Well I'm glad I make you happy

[@Looocath]

I’ve never played gt1 or gt2, but seeing these facts is making me want to gt1 and gt2

[@Driff97]

They're great games

[@RolfSAMA]

I loved both games, but from today's standpoint I'd recommend to start with GT2

[@Walamonga1313]

GT2 has more content but GT1 was always more fun for me. It's the soundtrack and the handling that made the game for me. GT2 has way more cars but it just didn't feel as cool as 1 imo.

[@1985toyotacamry]

This takes me back I did buy the A70 Supra in game and I love it with other Japanese cars that I never seen before. Even the TVR I'm not familiar with it. It does expand my car roster. Even some cars I mispronounced. Even the music I love in the NTSC version.

[@KasumiRINA]

True on starting with Toyotas (IIRC I used Mark 2 as main starter), and then going with GTO for its absolutely Suzuki Escudo levels of domination here. But the coolest thing was that different versions of the same car, i.e. 1992 GTO Twinturbo, and 1995 GTO MR, would have different liveries when using Racing Modification on them. So I collected unique GTOs of each type, buying one and checking if it has a different look after weight reduction and R, and reloading the game if it doesn't.

[@submaniac93]

Cubante... lmao sorry that made me laugh. You typoed it, it's Cuban*a*te x) GT1 JP's music was remixed all throughout the series. It's in GT2 3 and 4 to some extent. GT1 PAL/USA are the only ones in the series to have their own unique menu OST too. About the A7 license test. Actually, the reason why it's easy is because PD gave it upgraded tires instead of stock. The Japanese version has stock tires, and so much less grip and is harder to beat due to that.

[@Driff97]

Yeap. I pretty much asked for it. And wow another fun Gran Turismo fact with A7. Where have you been man? Experiencing KZbinr burnout or something? Barring that V-Rally video I totally didn't have to look up and edit this comment wtf are you talking about?

[@submaniac93]

@@Driff97 No burnout or anything but i moved away from where i was previously last year around august and then landed a job, so my free time has been drastically reduced. I'm still tinkering here and there when i'm not sleeping fatigue away, but it's all slow progress. The V-Rally videos were short and easy content i could produce and feel like i'm still active lol I don't get what you mean at the end though ? You edited and... i'm talking about what ? I'm confused lol

Basically, I stopped at "something?" posted the comment, then looked at your channel, noticed your latest video, then edited my comment to add afterwards because I like to rush comments.

[@JamieBainbridge]

Autumn Ring Mini is low-key the best track in the game. It's pretty much a go-kart track. You need a car which handles really well to race on it, but it's also a track you can enjoy a lot with a slow car.

[@Driff97]

It's also the best track for earning cash!

[@austinc.1495]

I love gt1s simplicity and the endurance races on ssroute 11

[@BobTheMartin]

What a wonderful game I think I mainly discovered TVR in particular thanks to TopGear, but yeee, GT1 did put it on the radar for some people

[@stagger225]

Gran Turismo 1 started it all! I recently played GT1 and GT2 on my PS2. Music is better in GT1, there are bands like Feeder and Cardigans. If those bands are in GT2, I hardly hear them. Controlling the cars in GT2 is better than GT1, but is still difficult, I’m always adjusting my steering, then adjusting after I made an adjustment. That is using an old PS2 controller. Maybe car control would be better on an emulator, and a modern controlled. But this game wasn’t intended to be emulated on computers. PD should release GT1 > GT4 on PS Store, it would satisfy my nostalgic needs, sell it as it was released originally, they shouldn’t be modified because of licensing issues, unless it is a remaster

[@7James77]

Ps2 comtroller is trash because every single button is analog. Including the x, square, triangle, circle, and d pad. Play GT2 with a PS1 controller and youll realize its thr controller not the game.

[@Mycroch]

Never played GT1 and GT2. But GT3 was the one i had the most fun with. GT4 im still completiting it (since january). GT5 is the one i spent the most time on, because of the amount of content the game had. I only play GT6 noe because im too lazy to switch discs and the more cars and tracks it has, the more customizable the game is

[@RolfSAMA]

Kaz said that not many people within his team & in Sony believed in such an amazing success of the game back in the day, so they pretty much concentrated on Japanese cars, believing they're making a game targeting a domestic market.

I still think the fastest car was the fully tuned ‘92 Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo... that car couldn’t lose!

[@Skarfar90]

Speed-wise the '95 Supra was the fastest. But the R33 Skyline had the fastest acceleration. The GTO (3000GT), and especially the '95 MR was a good middleground. The best overall race car had to be the Viper GTS-R. That thing was both fast and had good handling. It was also one of the few cars that came equipped with a 7-speed transmission, so you could really fine-tune it. The best player-built race car on the other hand had to be the RX-7 A-Spec. Decently fast, with great handling, due to its light weight. That said, the pre-built dealership model (RX-7 LM Edition) was also a great race car.
