The BIGGEST MOD for GRAN TURISMO 4 is HERE!! Spec II Mod Full Feature

[@RowdyGT]

Edit 9/23: I recently uploaded a guide on how to patch your ISO, as well as some PCSX2 enhancements & tips to make your game perform and look better. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaXQg61qfZicZ8k For anyone running into bugs or glitches, the website has a Known Issues page, and you can report anything else on the Spec II discussion discord which is linked towards the top of the description. Also I’m getting asked this a lot so I’ll reiterate: This is playable on emulators and real hardware. It plays the same way as any other PS2 game. If your device can play PS2 games it can play this. The caveat is you need to patch this on your PC, so if you do not have a PC to patch it, I cannot help you. PCSX2 is my only area of knowledge.

So I’m not a computer except, but I do have a ps2, I’m just confused on how to implement this onto the disk? How would I patch it on my pc? I have a desktop ( not sure if that matters ). Do I have to go on a certain website to port it? Sorry for so many questions. Videos are good!

Sony really missed not doing a 20th anniversary remaster although i imagine licensing would be a nightmare for them

[@rapidemboar4625]

Just started playing this mod for a few minutes and MAN is it leaving a great first impression. Early-game progression has been completely overhauled with the new prize cars and reworked payouts, and it's a lot smoother while avoiding or softening a lot of the easy progression skips the original game had. The new events are a breath of fresh air with tons of new restrictions to provide lots of variety, and switching every car to road tires early on has been pretty fun to drive so far.

[@luchin027]

All the car are already unlocked from the start or you can buy it while progressing with the campaign?

[@rapidemboar4625]

@@luchin027 Actually Arcade mode starts with all the cars and tracks unlocked instead of needing to unlock them through GT mode like in vanilla. GT mode is still GT mode though, buying cars with cash and winning prize cars from events, but there's been a good number of changes.

[@BRunzilian]

Awesome. Time to replay this classic after some good years of progress, both from the community and emulators. A great shoutout for both development teams!

Enjoy!

GRAN TURISMO 4 DEFINITIVE EDITION!

[@oregonfelder1]

I’ve been more excited about this mod than any new game release in the past 20 years!

[@Quantumwastaken]

GT was my childhood. Everything from the tracks, the music, the cars, the consoles I was playing on... it was mega. This mod will elevate those core memories to the next dimension, incredibly welldone.

[@MuhammadIsMuslim]

Hi from France ! For "la Sarthe" you pronounce "la Sart", just like "start". In France we usually call the circuit "le circuit du Mans" and not Sarthe. Good vids, always a pleasure watching them.

[@RowdyGT]

Noted. Glad you like the videos!

[@evandaymon8303]

Good to know thank you french person for the lesson of your historic track.

[@alphaenterprise2232]

Le circuit du mans is a simplification because people know mainly this track because of the annually hosted 24h of le mans.

[@MuhammadIsMuslim]

@@alphaenterprise2232 Ok, let's be more precise then. I do suggest you say "24h du Mans" instead of "24h of le mans" please. No french would call an english gentleman "Mr Blanc" instead of calling him by his real name "Mr White"...

[@claytongutterridge7396]

I usually just use "Le Mans" when referring to the circuit. Like many may refer to the Nurburgring as with just that or just the Nordschleife and not both together.

[@evandaymon8303]

I am still in disbelief about this. Like jesus i wasn't expecting gt 4 to be modifiable always assume pc games are only ones that can be modded but now people just surprised me. Been waiting for this mod since i saw the randomizer a mod that i love with unfortunate bug that breaks the game progression if you use a certain set of cars with turbo in it. But i am happy to see it be done

[@TheAdmiester]

Turbo sound bug should be fixed now, be sure to report anything you encounter and I'll try to fix them in future updates - I plan on supporting Spec II for a while whereas the Randomizer release was "frozen in time" so to speak as it was an early beta

[@evandaymon8303]

@@TheAdmiester it's working as intended so far with no hiccups but will keep you inform. Thank you for all your hard work that you do for us. It was a long time but well worth the wait

[@gammaphonic]

I just loaded it onto my PS2. It’s great. The adjustment to the analogue control for throttle and brake is excellent. I’m using a Dual Shock 4 via a Bluetooth adapter. On stock GT4, the entire analogue range is in the first 10% of the trigger. With the mod, it behaves exactly like you’d expect. 10% of trigger = 10% of throttle, 50% of trigger = 50% of throttle. This mod is worth it for this alone, haha.

[@TheAdmiester]

You can thank Silent for that, he did the hard work finding what to patch for his PCSX2 pnach, I just found a way to make it work natively in the game Glad people are noticing it because it's a nice big quality of life upgrade

[@leoncon99]

@@TheAdmiester for me it doesnt work natively with PCSX2. Am i doing something wrong? i just changed the pad config in pcsx2 and after 10% the triggers max out ingame

[@TheAdmiester]

@@leoncon99 I would double check that the PCSX2 side of your trigger sensitivity is correct, shift-click on your L2 and R2 bindings to check sensitivity is 100%, and make sure you're also binding them to L2/R2 in the game itself (as binding the triggers to X and Square etc isn't what it's intended for)

[@nethercoteslayer782]

Can I please ask, how did you load it onto your PS2? Like what is your setup, and did you just download the ROM in the description etc?

I'm glad the "racing transmission" volume is adjustable. I might want to adjust it all the way down. I often want to change the differential to some other factory gear ratio. Sometimes I want to replace one street transmission with another known transmission from the same company. But to do that I had to buy the "racing transmission" and suffer the sound of straight-cut gears, in a metal box with no insulation.

We were still a 1 console household in 2004 and I had recently played Halo CE, so I skipped PS2 for Xbox after having played a ton of gt1 and 2 on PS1 the gen prior. Went back to PS and GT for 5, 6 and 7 but I've always felt that GT4 shaped hole in my heart. No longer! Didn't even know this was a thing til Jimmy B was streaming it the other day but I've already got a few hours in. Runs great on 3700x/6950xt and looks fantastic for 20 years old. Thanks to everyone responsible for this very thoughtful and tastefully updated classic.

[@TheMurlocTamer]

Good news, I applied the patch to a gt4 iso that already had the randomizer mod, and yes your save will transfer over. However, it may auto complete some events and give you a prize car when you boot

[@SpeedIng80]

Great mod, thanks to the creators and the reporters, too 😉! I was interested in how the game would play on my original Playstation, using OPL. At least in my case, I have discovered an issue with the original PS2 Dualshock controller, which doesn't work in the game. But after fiddling around in the OPL settings I found a PS3/PS4 controller emulation and gave it a try by connecting a PS3 controller via USB. And it worked! So the question is - does the modded game not work with original controllers anymore? I have found a workaround by the way: I have some of these PS2 controller to USB adapters. Using one of these, the Dualshock 2 works with the modded game 😀. Of course it is more interesting to play Spec II on PCSX2, but it is nice to be able to play it on original hardware, too.

[@bugzest91]

What a stellar work you guys did here, congratulations to the whole team! I have a question and a possibly bug report though. 1. Is it possible for a future update to set the analog gauge ONLY for bumper/hood/interior cam and digital gauge only for exterior cam? 2. Is there any way to setting up the camera view (using Monitor menu) and applied it only for the interior cam? 3. Possible bug: When I select the Toyota Supra in used car dealership, the FPS were dropping really hard. Unfortunately I don't remember which version of the Supra, and it only occured on that car specifically. Cheers mate!

[@dc-vw4qm]

I wonder if anyone at PD has seen this, they are probably both impressed and annoyed! Youve really taken it to another level and its all very classy and in their motifs

I just started playing the mod, it's VERY GOOD, I'm loving the new features especially the new cameras, the hood camera should be the default, idk why pd preferred the roof over the hood, but my favorite it's being the inside camera, it adds a very cool immersion, however, you can't look back when using the inside camera, that's bothering me 😅

it’s weird while true autosims of the era like rFactor/GTR/NASCAR Racing/F1 Challenge having hundreds and thousands of mods and new content being forgotten, there are bunch of fans that working hell hard on adding some new sounds and couple of cars into a game from consoles/closer source. To the game that wasn’t so special even on release date, but still is being played. GT fan base has the passion and fanaticism i’d like to see in more worthy classic autosims.

I hope the corrected stats for certain vehicles includes the gear ratios for the Focus RS and the Neon SRT-4. I corrected them to the real-life gear ratios that anybody (but PDI) could look up on the internet, and they were noticeably faster. The gear ratios for a lot of old musclecars also bugged me. It's a road racing game, but those cars came with optional, extra-cost drag racing gears that made them reach their "rev limit" at about 100mph. Most of those cars would have been better off with their *standard* gear ratios. Like, the Chevelle SS had a standard final drive ratio of 3.31 in real life, but PDI gave it the 4.10 rear end made to finish a 1/4 mile drag race in 4th gear, near redline. 🙄
