The Cursed Gran Turismo 4 Randomizer Run

With the release of the Gran Turismo 4 Randomizer mod (which allows every prize car to be picked out of the game's entire car roster), I had tried completing the entire game with only these prize cars. However, it definitely did not go as planned...

I figured instantly that this challenge would be near impossible because of trucks. Very good run, though, and you can't deny that you got very good prizes nonetheless (and very good meme prizes as well lmao).

Yep. The Denso Sard Supra as a prize car for B License alone can be very satisfying.

Thanks! I'm definitely enjoying the playtime and creation of these videos!

[@YellowbirdYT]

I do agree the randomizer mod is an excellent experience, as you are always using different cars than you might have planned. It's a shame your run wasn't possible, I'm still not sure if mine will be doable. Still, A-Class for 24 hours of racing? That's gold. I really liked your video!

[@mrxbas]

Thanks! I loved tuning the RS4 in particular, to the point where I would even recreate it in Forza Horizon 5! Also, you should thank TeaKanji for introducing me to your channel :)

@@mrxbas my favourite car in GT4 Randomizer run obviously is Minolta Toyota 88C-V from Setsuna Yuki of course.

[@Meoiswa]

For completion's sake, I would've added the special rule "after completing every event available to you, you may randomize what car in the required class you may buy in order to continue your run"

[@TeaKanji]

Great sum-up, very well-edited, structured and narrated. Was a pleasure to watch this unfold as it happened, even if my dozens of Cappuccino predictions to save the run didn't come to fruition. 10:56 was truly a moment for the ages. Watching your run inspired me to tune some cars I never would have tried otherwise, so I definitely agree that the mod, as chaotic as it is, can broaden your horizons. A classic case of "it's about the journey, not the destination".

[@mrxbas]

I definitely agree with your final statement! I'm still amazed that the 22B guess was correct for the Boxer Spirit cup, especially since I've used that car for a while as a rally car!

[@TeaKanji]

Sometimes, the meme picks just so happen to be the correct picks. Thanks for the gift sub as well by the way!

[@damianFootball600]

I agree aswell

Thanks! I'd highly recommend trying any of the classic Gran Turismo games, they are all amazing!

[@Derek21701]

Try any, they will be great, but please don't play GT Sport or GT7 as your first games.

[@Derek21701]

I have only played GT5 and GT6, and briefly GT Sport but that was because my brother would let me play GT Sport sometimes and GT1 and 2 briefly on an emulaton on some crappy hacked tablet but it was too laggy.

[@gamesessions]

Great run - love a good challenge run on this game. I’ve just been doing a “yellow cars only” run myself, which I’m about 10 hours into - it’s been really fun and I’ve used a lot of cars I’ve never used before too - I recommend it :)

[@stardust-reverie]

extremely pleasantly surprised with the wirtual reference when you unlocked the gt-one, it’s absolute bliss being reminded trackmania exists when i’m not expecting it

[@Crinale13]

This looks genuinely fun to play A new GT4 play through experience with GT3 random-prize looked like

Definitely, although it's more random than GT3 (as that game has a small pool of prize cars for most events)

10:55 This perfectly summarizes mission 34... High quality meme XD

[@akioto1116]

Nice run bro, one challenge i tried before but couldn't finish was the "no mod/upgrade" run. The thing that stopped me was tires. Maybe combining with this randomized run allows you to try more different cars

[@fruitygranulizer540]

it's beyond me how you only have 11k subs. i was truly shocked to see the sub count after the video. this is really quality content, better than most 1M sub youtubers. you deserve so much more!

[@tho_tho]

Thanks for reminding me of the cheat code thingies, I knew about the 10m one, but none of the others! For licenses, since I've done so many playthroughs I couldn't be bothered anymore, I just used a cheat engine table I had made to insta-gold all 5 tests (and doesn't require days), but this can be a nice alternative to that.

I love seeing gt4 game play still coming out

[@AdamantineAxe]

I suffered through an endurance race in GT2 cause my friend wasn't around to play it together and got the Polyphony F1 car. We dominated every race we could enter it in while we were still not good enough to pass all the licenses. Kinda took away from the game a bit but it was fun to crush the field.

[@Lanman106]

Love these GT4 videos! Hope I can stop by a stream in the future.

[@artoodiitoo]

Alex from Failrace had really bad luck with the randomizer, got two PT Cruisers from different races in a single stream xD

Yeah, the duplicates are something which I’ve also talked about with the mod makers as it can be very frustrating for prize car only runs.

[@MrOAndersson]

Getting that GT-ONE race car very early really sums up my experience with GT7; less than a week playtime and the game throws me the Veyron as my first birthday gift car. Kind of invalidated a lot of the early game in one fell swoop

[@kardo4899]

Still waiting for the TÜV-Only playthrough xd Great video and while the last reward wasnt a k car, a supra is always a win

[@mrxbas]

I'd probably have to check some TL:DR about the TÜV-regulations though (or use my local regulations instead). Also, the car I got at the end was the SZ-R instead of the RZ (RZ has a turbo unlike the SZ-R), so it's kinda fitting as the last car...

[@kardo4899]

@@mrxbas in your last video you commented that you know some stuff on TÜV or at least something similar. I think our laws have good translations and I will be here when the video drops 🫡

It's a difficult track for sure!

[@Beencheeling]

I mean everione tried this, but you know the trucks. Still, very cool!

[@powerplay9422]

Now the hunt begins for a name that will generate a truck. Once it's found out what seeds generate the necessary cars, this run becomes possible.

[@mrxbas]

There have been multiple instances where people have tried different seeds to see which one is the most viable. Getting a Daihatsu Midget II early-game would be the holy grail as it can compete in both the Kei car and Sports Truck races (the latter being possible thanks to this mod)!

[@RageKnows]

Currently on week 2 of doing this challenge, i manage to get a kei car in the form of the Honda Z Act (which was a blessing in disguise)... No sports truck yet, hoping i may get one way later down the line in my playthrough (its been fairly good since ive completed most of the important events to do the World Champion event). Wish i was recording my playthrough as it has been really entertaining so far.

Challenge Idea… GT4 Randomiser mod but youre only allowed to change cars with the prize car you just won. See how many events you can win, and every prize car you win means you have to decide to stick with what you have or change

[@monolith4653]

That thumbnail is just modern racing games...

[@RowdyGT]

I decided to tap in to my advanced brain thinking abilities and added a couple rules to my prize cars only challenge: - The ONLY items I can purchase are tires - I must get 100 A-Spec points or more each race Needless to say, the struggle is real lol

[@mrxbas]

I actually obeyed the second goal by trying to keep all main championships (beginner/professional ones) above 100 A-spec points (hence the Prius as it gave 150+ A-spec points). However, I didn't mention it in the video as it didn't really change the run itself too much. I could try to do it with just buying tires, though!

[@mplewp]

Gt4 is like having your first wagyu steak . Sure its the best thing ever . But afterwards many other good racing games will just be meh 😂
