Exactly. I'm sick of newer forza titles where you unlock the fastest zonda and race it against the fastest bugatti/ferrari/whatever from second 1. Theres no learning curve, theres no process, theres no car culture, just big ass bugatti with golden wheels racing each other. UGH.

You didn't even get why Ferrari and Porsche wernt in the game. They were under contract with EA so other developers couldn't use their brands.

[@TheFurryInShambles]

Nerdy Hillbilly Lamborghini was always available though.

[@bigbuckoramma]

Lamborghini didnt want their cars in the game. Simple as that. There were also issues with the US license holders, Mattel, who had the license for their Hotwheels and Matchbox brands. There was a "Lamborghini" in GT2, it was the JLOC Nomad Diablo GT-1 from the mid-late 90's JGTC GT500 field. But it was never officially put in the game, because of the licensing issues. But is obtainable with hacks from the NTSC/J version of the game. There are also file names hinting at at least 3 other versions of the car, with previous year designs and liveries. But they were either never modeled, or never made it into a finish build of the game because of the licensing problems. EA also had a joint deal with Mattel for Ferrari AND Porsche, and neither EA nor Mattel wanted to give them the authorization to use it. Eventually Ferrari convinced EA to multi license, and Mattel lost their license because they demanded exclusivity. Which is why you dont see anymore Ferrari Hotwheel cars anymore, and why they are fetching high prices on eBay. The same is also true of the damage models. Damage modelling was always built in to the games engine. Even back in GT1 and MotoToon GP. However, the manufactures (particularly halo brands, and Japanese makes) didnt like the idea of damage on their cars, so PD left the damage models out of the game. As someone who has worked on the periphery of the original Project Gotham Racing, and the original Forza Motorsport, i can tell you that automobile licensing is an absolute pain in the ass, and many manufacturers have a lot of weird requests about how their cars are going to be displayed, and why. Licensing in general just just a complete mess really. It ruins more things than it protects.

[@TheFurryInShambles]

bigbuckoramma Ah thank you for explaining good sir! Just sucks car manufactures have either odd or ridiculous requests to even allowed to use their license. (Which is why I'm guessing why Japanese car companies are the easiest to add)

[@briansergeant]

Glad Porsche is in GT Sport. I'll now be able to obtain a 911 and download the "Pink Pig" livery to go with it!

@@soundscape3065 Yep the gran turismo series as a whole is not realistic (people think it is because the game says it is and they just say "okay"). It's the epitome of a "tunnel game" where your car is on a rail and your input can alter your direction slightly but too much and you just tyre squeel (fine) but if you have an agresssive angle to the direction of travel (like drifting) it massively over corrects any countersteering and just *yeets* you the other direction like a hand of god reached down and flicked you. All while sounding like hairdryers. Meanwhile the forza series it your car actually behaves like a seperate physical mass it's meant to be. Even the new gran turismo games still behave the same, you can only control the car as much as it lets you and any deviation it will f*** you. Case in point. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWfHnpyQh5aJjc0

This bro doesnt get what GT games are about, for example the point of the licensing is to improve your skills and your overall race driving theory, also the 24hr races are meant to be completed in bspec mode which you can actually leave running and you make bank

[@DARamosYT]

I can see that. But I'm guessing a lot of players are just gamers who want to play a racing game. While skills and race driving theory are things that can be improved upon by playing a game. People don't really go into it with that mindset. 24 hr races do necessitate B-spec mode, but it can come off as a tacked-on autopilot mode that plays the game for the player, making it feel like that endurance race wasn't really earned. And I don't recall using B-spec mode until much later after I had finished a few 30 lap races and was wondering how on earth or why would someone attempt the 24hr races unless for the novelty of it.

My personal strategy for starting the game is to get the B, A, and IB licenses, then do missions 1-10 to get the DMC DeLorean S2. Use it for the easy Capri Rally to get the Toyota RSC Rally Raid then use the RSC to do the Capri Rally over and over, selling each additional RSC.

Then I started the race and played for about 2 to 3 hours, after that I went to the pit-stop and changed to b-spec, so the machine could drive the car, went to sleep when I woke up I played for another 2 hours, went to School, after school I would play again for maybe 2 hours and just watch the last hours of the race, when the ai screwd I fixed it by racing myself for a couple laps, and then I finally completed the 24h nurburgring, turned off my ps2 for a couple hours and then started another endurance race... Somehow the endurance were the best races for me, I actually felt like I was a racer, imagine my face when I discovered the gt6 didn't even had tire wear

Furthermore, you are clearly not intelligent enough to recognise that I never once was interested in the reasons why his original videos were taken down. I was not interested in speculating; the reality is simply that they were taken down, and that's all I was remarking upon. No shit, they were taken down because of content ID. Obviously. There's absolutely nothing else that would've been responsible for their being taken down. So do us both a favour and stop. Your username and your writing is purely a display of utter pretentiousness, which impresses no one. Furthermore, your actual observations themselves are both erroneous (thinking I am interested in social capital gained online, through strangers that mean literally nothing to me, because I do not know them) and completely obvious (content ID taking down his video is what everyone already understood). Thus, not only is your comment completely insufferable, but it is also pointless. How you are so proud of such garbage is beyond my understanding.

[@takatamiyagawa5688]

I kindof see the driving missions as an extension of the license tests. They're challenges which you can't get an advantage in by bringing a more powerful car. You just have to learn the situation presented to you. That slipstream challenge with the GT-Rs made me thing that something was wrong, since it's unlike the other 3 in which all of the cars are nicely spaced for you to overtake one after the other. It's kindof satisfying to finally find the solution though.

Your problem with the the steering comes down to this, In Gran Turismo 3 the cars had more of a tendency to slide, also they pivot in relation to the chase camera. In GT4 these aren't true anymore, the camera sticks behind the car at all times and the car reacts more strongly to weight transfer which affects your ability to steer. Caught me off guard at first but I adjusted to it. Good review. Fun Fact. Gran Turismo 2 gave you camera options in the global options view settings that resemble the chase cam settings in both Gran Turismo 3 and 4.

[@Alan_Chapman]

The first Gran Turismo is my favorite. It’s what made me go buy a PlayStation. The best music of the series, the least overwhelming career mode, all the details about each car when you view them in the showroom. The license tests were just enough to get you ready for the late game content. Being able to see what the weight and horsepower of your opponents were. That classic FMV opening sequence. And the feeling the first time you won an endurance race on special stage R11 with a modded car that has no business on the track with Vipers, Supras and Skylines. Your first time driving on Trial Mountain, Deep Forest. Winning Grand Valley East on the Sunday Cup. Taking a stock NSX Type S Zero and mastering the NA class on Autumn Ring Mini. Getting your times lower and lower. Tuning the cars. Yeah I’m going off nostalgia, but that’s the game I love the most in the series. The one I played the most is probably GT2. All the others I played much less because of being an adult and having responsibilities.

I feel so sad that my PS3 couldn't play PS2 games. I literally haven't played this game in years (though I still have my PS2 and the save game on a memory card). One of my most heart breaking games experiences occurred when playing this game. I was about 14 hours into the Nurburgring 24 hours when I felt I needed some sleep. So, since you can't save mid-race, I left it on overnight. Only for a blackout to occur :( I didn't have the stomach to do it all again, so I restarted the race, put in 10 hours and let B-spec finish the rest.

[@stevemcrichards8768]

When I was younger all I wanted from this game was the ability to race at Le Mans and this game finally gave me that opportunity. When I first played this game and the opening credits ran and that Ford GT spec racecar came out of the pits you see the flag marshals -- ("is that Le Mans or maybe Tsukuba idk!?") -- and all those GT prototype racecars exited the pits I knew where it was immediately and every fiber of my being tingled and fizzed. That is why this GT4 is simply the best.

[@TailsGt1]

Thought I'd add to what you said in 2:40 In the previous games, you do earn a prize car (Although it's for clearing all the tests in that license with a Gold time)! While in GT4, you earn a prize car depending on your overall ranking (one for Bronze, Silver, and Gold) Which helps incentivize going for gold! Pretty nice to have 3 cars while keeping your starting 10,000 credits (Despite the tests being very tedious in 4)!

[@waldevv]

I don't even know what to say, the menu music just brings so many memories of simpler times. I remember trying the game in I believe early 2005, back when they had those PS2 stands in stores where you could try out a new game. It was my first ever proper simulator and I just went wide in every corner after being used to games like Underground 1 and 2. So many stress free days were spent on this game, I wish I could go back but replaying it now just wouldn't feel the same and you just get overwhelmed with memories to the point where you just kind of tear up. Really just wish I could go back to the 2000s in general without all the stress from having to do adult things

I like to think that the correct strategy for starting in GT mode is to pick a used car that you actually like and sell the license prize cars to upgrade it

[@MrRocket2008]

GT4 I consider my favourite out of the GT series. I was so hyped for 5 and it was such a massive let down, and 6 although better, still has nothing on this game. I think I must have put 4x as many hhours into GT4 as 5&6 combined. Many people prefer 2 or 3, and I would like to experience them again now I'm older as I think I was too young to fully appreciate them when they came out. By the time I got GT4 I was 10 or 11 and just put so many hours into that game and pretty much done every event, except for the ridiculous endurance events. I was just at the start of that sweet spot in my life where I was old enough to really get into and appreciate games and also have plenty of free time to play them. My main gripe with this game and every GT since, the static chase cam. If you look at it and then compare it to GT3 (or any other racing game for that matter) the chase cam being locked makes tornering feel so janky, particularly on the rally events when you get the back end out. Maybe it's just me, but it really bothers me that PD have stuck with this cam ever since and I never see anyone else mention it.

[@Haze4743]

Old comment I know, but the outside camera being locked on the back is actually what makes racing *fast* with that cam *possible* This is because in general automotorsport, outside of rallies and drifting, you stick to a straight line when drawing corners. A delay on the camera when turning only provokes imprecision. This is extremely evident when you race with the interior cam on simulators. When you initiate a turn you want to look at the direction the car is turning to follow the racing line, you dont look *at the opposite direction* , when you turn you dont care about whats happening in the direction where the track doesnt continue. So I would say the opposite. Gran Turismo is one of the very few franchises that still hold to the correct way to make an outside camera apt for competitive racing.

The 1080i mode isn't really better than 480i, as it is just upscaling, but the real problem is, the high resolution modes usually look uglier because of some weird purple noise/artifiacing that shows up in 480p and 1080i modes using most component cables on the market. Generally, it's better to use 480i most of the time. 480p may or may not look better on a modern display. The 480p and 1080i modes are probably most useful for recording footage

[@That_Handle]

logane1102 , How about outputting to the widescreen and HD CRTs by the likes of Sony?

[@riddledtomcat1360]

logane1102 I have to disagree. I play on a 21 inch 1080 screen and the 480 juts looks to mushy and blurry. The 1080 makes everything legible. Cars included.

[@aprilionorange6414]

I need to get another PS2. I mean, I live in europe, so no 1080i for me, but.. I just wanna replay this game.

[@That_Handle]

RiddledTomcat , Emulation onto a PC monitor ( old CRT or modern ) ?

[@riddledtomcat1360]

Just2Options? Irrational: FearOrExuberance? Original ps2 slim with component connection.

[@AidGum]

I liked the UI and music here. I thought it was so relaxing, and it made me look around in the menus more.

[@AntJoseph_]

I play this game since it was launched and more than a decade later it is still my favourite raving game and definitely the best Gran Turismo EVER! The only if was the inexistent damage in the car!

[@MrDazzlerdarren]

Nigel Mansall said that the driving controls for Nigel Mansells World Championship on the Mega Drive were realistic ......so must be true! :-D

[@brantisonfire]

To win the Gran Turismo F1 car and win the 24 hr of Nurburgring, use B spec mode where it has an AI driver and you can speed it up 3x real-time. I used to set the race up, speed up the time and switch the input to watch TV. Also, I would leave it running overnight when I slept.

[@fascinatinglist9654]

Your reviews are so in depth

[@elvis1745]

The largest game I ever completed. I played it almost every day (at least an hour daily but sometimes almost the whole night when I didn't go to school the next day) for about 10 months before completing it. And LOVED every bit of it. Still remember that damn license test with a full lap on the Nürburgring with the Mercedes 190 E Evo 2. Took me forever to complete it since the track was so long but the thing with this game is that You end up loving the challenges that drive You mad at first. Just brilliant.

[@ChilledGemini99]

Aww dang. Yt and their copyright stuff. This review is so gr8t dude, I had to watch it again lol.

[@orinlee6123]

Licenses aren't mandatory. You can grind the Sunday Cup or Original Circuits to get credits no problem -- I recommend learning to best use B-spec=Director's Mode to win the Sunday Cup, sell the prize car, buy parts for your mule -- whatever you fancy -- rinse repeat or ... do the licenses. It's Content that doesn't ask you for real money! I grabbed a cheap Nissan SKYLINE GTS :D

[@NotHyperion]

bro are you seriously using Sunday Cup to grind ?

[@IDyn4m1CI]

Its mandatory to be able to finish the game. Who in their right mind would want to keep doing sunday cup, over and over again...

[@WolfrCats]

Good god. 24 hours of LeMans. I'm up for it though I should take breaks from every one hour or something I don't know

[@philng3466]

Wolf Kotto You can actually speed up the whole process of these races 3x faster when you let an AI do the driving. Makes it a lot more manageable for me.

[@TupacsStepSisterlocoman]

The menus in Grad Turismo are so goooood

[@aceofhearts573]

Great review mate. Love the table and wheel set up hahahah . You should review Enthusia which is a Konami grand Turismo clone

[@CorruptInfinityOfficial]

the points system changes how good your B spec AI is at driving

[@michaelpierrynowski7253]

the money making sceme feels like you pulled that straight from my memory, amazing to see im not the only one who did that

[@vire559]

Yeah we're waiting Nike 2022 IRL

[@durodesduvo8424]

I don’t think anything in the world makes me as nostalgic as the sights and sounds of PS2 GranTurismo games.

[@that_wagon_guy]

So about that comment about the understeer and steering in general; It looks like you're running with assists on. Turning them off or at least down will help alot.

[@RhodokTribesman]

Yeah, and all these cars are on early 2000's tires as well, way worse than the modern stuff we have.

[@EscargotGaming]

Your sentiment toward the license tests kind of baffles me It’s my favorite part of these games and what I look forward to most when i pick up a new entry in the franchise because it’s the only part of the game that offers a legitimate challenge It’s also the only thing that forces you to actually learn how to drive different cars and appreciate each vehicle’s unique idiosyncrasies, especially if you’re playing in manual mode The sense of accomplishment of beating a trial you’ve been grinding by a couple thousandths of a second is incredible In some ways, it reminds me of the platinum challenges in Project Gotham Racing Not to mention you get amazing prize cars from them The AI is so bad in GT, that the rest of the game has comparably less to offer imo

[@Nathanator]

3:51 They didn’t have the licensing rights for the brands. That’s why they have modded Porsches in the game.

[@rikkistarrett307]

This is by far the best Gran Turismo game. All downhill after here. As for license tests, you can never have too many.

[@fonzieramirez296]

Thats not a CLR😑 its the CLK-LM ffs You cry alot about the licensing tbh, this is why yo had trouble besting the older titles and blaming it on rubberbanding. Besides that, your reviews are alright.

[@someguy8951]

Well the licenses are ridiculously demanding at times.

[@jdbb3gotskills]

It's 2022 and we still don't have the Nike car :(

[@playsi3lover95]

I did this Capri Rally soooo often, just to sell the Price car 😅 good to see i wasnt alone

[@mikeyboy2820]

As an Australian, I loved it because of Holden and FPV

[@skylinefan32]

I adored the GT4 controls. I'm no race driver, but I loved how you had to plan ahead for corners and understand the physics of the vehicle you were driving in order to corner well.

[@astorbergonzoni]

the only car that get me mad in this game is the spoon civic r, i was eating tires like mad in this game hahaha

[@chrisk5277]

you know that isn't the clr race car right?

[@adex2815]

So i was not the only one doing that rally toyota trick.

[@andwey21]

Even though the 3 was the best, 4 is the best for me. It is very special for me! My grandfather played all 1234 games, it was his favorite series of games and he would never play anything else except Granturismo. When I was a little boy, he was playing the new released Granturismo 4 with me and that game got me into cars! I've always watched him play even in endurance races I'm beside him asking whether he will make a pitstop and how many laps he gained on his oponents. Later on he thought me how to play the game and I always dominate Sunday cup with an op car it was so fun! But he never get to play 5, 6 or 7 because we cannot afford to buy ps3 or 4. I was so sad that those times cannot be experienced anymore. Money really is an issue in this world. But when I got older he gave me the Ps2 and I played and finished Gt4! And the original disc that he played unfortunately broke, so he bought me a new one but I kept the old one and I put it in my graduation photo when I was in kinder. The time when I always watch him play. When I think of the best game in the series I will always pick 4 because of great and happy memories with my grandfather. I hope I could afford to buy a ps4 to play Gt6 or maybe the sport.

[@RC-qo6pg]

Any recommendations on where to find a Logitech wheel/pedals/shifter for the PS2 in 2021? I played GT4 as a kid but never ventured far beyond arcade, now that I have a better appreciation for racing physics I wanna complete the game and with the amount of content in here I figure I might as well do it with a wheel

[@IDyn4m1CI]

Used market is your best bet, like ebay or something. Or you can emulate the game on PC and play with any high end wheel you might have, and with much better graphics

[@Jack5Official]

After owning and playing Gran Turismo 3 and 4 for many years, I have personally settled on the conclusion that 3 is better. Presentation is everything.

[@TheStrstudios]

8:28 you hold the steering wheel strangely :P like, your hands at 10 and 2 on a clock rather than 9 and 3. You hold it like Jean Alesi does :)

[@lazersharkproductions5622]

You know colourshed on days 694 to 700 in gran turismo 4 mode, there will be the toyota gt one in the used car dealership

[@martinial]

Not only toyota gt one but also other cars

[@astorbergonzoni]

@@martinial yeah i bought the impreza 22b and the mazda 787 in black also xD

[@martinial]

@@astorbergonzoni i meant other race cars such Mazda 787B, Toyota GT-ONE, the Nissan ones (R89CP and such, can't remember)

[@kingcars]

After watching all of your Gran Turismo reviews from the first to this one, I don’t understand how GT4 is suddenly “too serious” and the driving controls are suddenly so radically different that they’re no longer fun. The GT games were always serious and always had the same control style. Also, the GT3 review was almost unanimous praise but this review of GT4 with a bunch of criticisms, which is basically GT3 with infinitely more content (the lack of used cars in GT3 was atrocious imo) and better graphics, just leaves me confused.

[@stepladder3257]

i kinda liked the no used cars in gt3 for some reason

[@Haze4743]

No serious review will put GT3 above GT4, the man is just nostalgic.

[@chillhour6155]

For me this is just the best all-round GT game along with gt2, a remaster if there ever was one would've shine alot of light on the newer games shortcomings

[@balazs7235]

What maniac thought, a mandatory lap around the Nürburgring was a great idea with the most slippery tires for the licenses??! I have purchased and did like 6 laps with the same Mercedes and it handled just fine, why did they have to make the car so slippery???

[@footballnotsooccer600]

Ah i remember playing this with my brother and my dad. Good old times...... this game was years ahead its time.

[@HimeSiffie]

actually there was a lamborghini racecar (JGTC) in GT3: A-Spec but unfortunately it was only for the NTSC-J version of it
