All I can say thank you to Suzuki for actually licensing them this car back in the game, It's just purely one of those memorable vehicles in the GT series.

Japanese car makers are proud to license the dankest cars they could come up with. Unlike US manufacturers who are so ashamed of 99% of what they produce they only license the same tired old muscle cars from late 60s.

Ps1 v PS2, this was a huge jump in technology. Similar to the master system and mega drive (genesis). The jump from MS/genesis to PS/Saturn had the Sega CD which came between them. Nowadays they all look fairly similar between consoles.

[@FFP_BF2]

My dad had Gran Turismo two before Gran Turismo three came out in 2001. A friend loaned it to him, and that’s how we discover the franchise. I have very little memory of him playing the game, but I think I remember him driving a car on Tahiti Road. Gran Turismo 3 will always be the GOAT in my opinion, but I remember picking up my own copy of GT2 in 2014. The graphical leap between the two of those games is shocking, but both games are absolutely incredible!

[@taylorhead9842]

@@test-tl8dt If you haven't tried it yet, try VR? Playing Resident Evil 7 in VR and on the TV is a completely different experience even though it's the same game. To me that's the biggest jump we've ever had in gaming. You can't really understand how great VR is until you try it.

Wish we had such open maps with crazy verticality like that gt6 map on gt7. Especially with the new graphics and all the scenery would look beautiful. And there’s a huge lack of verticality on tracks in gt7, not enough continuous ups and downs that look scary to drive down. You never feel like your plummeting down a steep road, just going at a slight decline no matter how intense the real life counter part is. But that gt6 map looks insane, and actually scary to drive fast on.

[@RazorCallahanDK]

love all of the GT series of course, but when i look at 8:13 - 8:19 i think the jump physics were better in earlier versions compared to GT7 honestly (not the suspension physics but only jump). My personal favorite is GT4 in that aspect. Look how much smoother it is from 4:54 to 5:00

So true. It looks horrible in gt7. Like it has a magnet to the ground or something.

[@FFP_BF2]

Each game it’s had a unique engine sound. But, I don’t know how to describe it, it sounds like it’s been evolving into its GT7 form since GT4.

[@jakerubino3233]

GT4 was a masterpiece! Can’t believe how good it still looks and it was on the PS2! Still holds up as a great game to play. GT2 and GT4 really were the benchmarks. It always seemed to be that the first GT on a console generation was the tester then the second would max out the capabilities of the console. Hopefully GT8 will do the same which explains why GT7 is still sort of lacking.

That's emulated tho, it doesn't look nearly that good on real PS2 hardware

Somehow GT4 has aged less than any other GT game. GT5 looks a bit jagged, GT6 looks flag, and GT1-3 are just old games. Ironically the reflections in the emulated GT4 in this video looked better than in GT5 and GT6, and the track was more detailed too.
