The progression is what i love. Modern games do not scratch that itch of starting with a small mediocre used car and racing your way up getting progressively better. The presentation is just iconic and it feels great.

[@0uttaS1TE]

I get why modern progression is the way that it is, but you can't beat starting with a beater that's older than you are and working from there

[@mro9466]

That's the beauty of Gran Turismo 4. Even when you have all the money and the race cars, there's still pleasure driving some obscure hatchback on trial mountains or destroying the AI with your 600 hp skyline. So many cars to test, so many events and races. It's a single player hardcore drug.

[@KingDeadMan]

The fact that GT4 is becoming increasingly more popular puts a smile on my face. Also, it shows that new games are becoming less immersive, the exact opposite of what AAA game developer studios want. 😅

[@n_tas]

No it doesn't, it just shows that GT4 was amazing, has aged well, is easy to run and, most importantly, is free. I guarantee that if GT5 or 6 were as easy to run upscaled to 1080p or 4K as GT4 is then we'd be modding that to add a GT4-like career mode instead of modding GT4 to add GT5/6-like graphics.

[@headshotmaster138]

@@n_tas Maybe, but new games just aren't fun to play. Their one biggest gimmick is the graphics & fluidity. After the "oohs & ahhs" are over, not may continue to play them. People literally have tens of hundreds of games stockpiled in their libraries, which they haven't touched since they first played them. The funny part is that most of those games are from 2017 to current day, 2023.

[@DustinEdenYT]

To me, this game will always be the shining example of replayability. I may not complete the game, but each time I start a new playthrough it's different than the last. At least to some degree. Admittedly I didn't like the game that much as a kid, the weird camera and lack of throttle control made it difficult to play for me back then. However pretty much every complaint one could have is fixable nowadays. With emulation this is as close to a flawless game as you can get. It aged fantastically, and will likely continue to age better than many modern racing games due to their over-reliance on online and shallow career offerings. There really couldn't be a better time to give GT4 a try

[@AFellowDoktuh]

GT4 is to the PS2, what GT2 is to the PS1, a gem of a classic.

[@ChillkittzGT]

Heyyyy hello dustin, I watch your vids lol! So yeah anyways I really love GT4 in terms of replayability too. It's not just because it's got a load of cars, but the progression of the game is just too perfect to say the least. It's a mix of getting the cars too easily and too hard, like getting a kei car that is enjoying to cruise in a circuit and then replaying the whole 10 mile driving park course to get like the much better JGTC cars that you'll then drive at the likes of suzuka and nurburgring, is something that I would always try and do everytime I boot up the game and I absolutely never get bored of it. And if you don't want to race but you you do want to get yourself entertained, you can simply go to photo mode, play the game on director's mode, and watch the car simply drive all around as if you're watching like those top gear cinematic heli cams, and that's something other racing games lack.

[@Phenom98]

I mapped the triggers to accel/brake like any modern game. It plays fantastic

[@hdslave]

every time i play it i get addicted to winning the toyota rsc rally car over n over n over again in order to sell it for 300k.

[@DarkDemonXR]

Seems that not everyone knows but the original ps2 gamepad had pressure sensitive buttons... thats how I played GT4 with precise throttle, it wasnt that intuitive as triggers but it did the job for me at the time

[@Peelster1]

[@wieldylattice3015]

Okay, don’t get wrong I liked Forza Horizon 4, but it really did feel like the only FH game that didn’t know what it wanted to be. FH1-3 were single player focused with good progression and campaign. FH5 is multiplayer focused with live service and lots of community content. FH4 is an awkward midground between the two, and while don’t get me wrong, the map of FH4 is fantastic, it doesn’t scratch the itches the first three do, and 5 scratches the online itches much better

[@eniff2925]

​@@rzt430they don't need to. Sim racing is immersive and realistic but not always fun. You have to be on edge and focus really hard instead most of the time people just want to relax and have fun in their spare time. I have a wheel but rarely use it now because its too much effort to set up every time and not a relaxing experience

[@rzt430]

@@eniff2925 well you know what? i completely agree with you. i do enjoy gt7 more than ac, acc and ams2 for that reason. it has more game-y aspects than the others which are just plain simulation and in terms of being games they are half-assed. i only use ac to practice drifting since it carries over irl in my experience. however setting it up including VR every single time kills any sort of enjoyment i have for it. i would much rather boot up GT7 and have a fun race to relax. what i mean about simracing peaking is the fact that direct drive steering wheels and such have never been more readily available than today. remember how much you had to pay for a logitech g25/27/29 back then? it was insane. nowadays a logitech g29 is $150 straight from logitech refurbished. it has never been more accessible at any point of time before now.

Good Stuff Rowdy. With all the enhancement mods, optimizations, and wheel support, now is a great time to get back into Gran Turismo 4. On a side note emulation in general has improved a lot over the years. I'm anticipating advancements to OG xbox emulation which is lagging behind other generations. I can't wait to emulate Project Gotham Racing 2 on pc. It's a classic that deserves a resurrection.

[@admontblanc]

Tbh Xbox emulation doesn't seem all that alluring because all of its games, bar a few obscure exceptions, made it to PC at one point or another. With Sony's stuff it's another matter, same for Nintendo, because they still maintain a ton of console exclusive titles. If PD continues to just make Gran Turismo exclusively for Sony consoles I predict that in 10 years people will be excited over the prospect of emulating the PS5 so they can play GT7 for the first time. I love the series, but nowadays I would not buy a PS5 just for a scant few games that you can't play anywhere else, even if that means skipping a few GT games.

Not only that, I also learn how to play the game with manual transmission, which I avoided since the very first game.

I've always played this game on native hardware for the nostalgia factor (I grew up on the PS2 Gran Turismos and GT3 is actually the game that came wtih my PS2 at Costco), but I've always been curious about exploring this game to the maximum through emulation. When I don't need to have it literally in my hands (that's what the PSP version is for), having this on my laptop could be a fantastic way to bring GT4 on the go (though with a Steam Deck I could have the best of both worlds hehe)! Plus, as much as I'm liking GT7 and its seasonal events, I have to experience online racing in GT4 at least once. I appreciate this very in-depth guide, it leaves very little stones, if any, unturned!

What I love the most about this emulator is, that it also do have real Force Feedback wheel support. I can play the whole game with my cheap G29. But there also is a downside. For example the "Le Mans" track with a really fast car, the force feedback is getting nuts. On the straights it just switches from left to right with maximum force 10 times/second and there's nothing you can do against it, except turning the FFB off. When I remember right, it also was a problem on the PS2 itself. I've played GT4 on the PS2 with the G25 and there was the same problem. On the PS2 you had no chance to turn off the FFB, instead I had no other option than play this track/race with the controller. Besides this problem, it's awesome how far we came in case of emulation. It's "just" a PS2, but it also is "still" a PS2 which delivered great graphics for the time and I still love it. Unfortunately my PS2 is now broken, because I stepped on it and the laser isn't reading any disks. 😞 So I only can play GT4 with an emulator and I am so happy that it exists. Thanks to all the people who spent so much time in programming this awesome tool. And thanks to you, Rowdy, for this informative and well done video.

[@oldsingleplayer3012]

beautiful. GT2 and GT4 are still my favorites.

I used to play this on my PS2 for HOURS I always started with the Used EVO 1

Rowdy's best video yet. The passion is infectious!

There is just something special about games released from 2003-2005

It would be great to see this kind of support for Tourist Trophy as well as the GT games. A cheat engine would be amazing, seeing as the race options in TT are extremely limited. Also, It has been a dream of mine to be able to race with cars and bikes in the same game, if this is even remotely possible.

nice job Rowdy thanks a lot ,for the info that you give to us :)

the music of this game and was like a vip expereince better than any metal loud music other racing games use

2004 was my senior year in high school and I used to play the hell out of this game!

I feel conflicted about this. Obviously, this is awesome, I mean our cherished game has been improved but I feel the original, with it's quirks and foibles, is better. I recently bought a Japanese PS2 and a few games and the nostalgia is strong. I even found the official soundtrack CD for the game! (Oh, and the Japanese intro music is the best. Sorry Van Halen and Kasabian!) That being said, what's possible with today's emulation is fricken unreal. Thanks for the great video!

New to sim racing, only played Forza 7 and recently playing Dirt 3 yet this footage still blows my mind. Beautiful drifting and handling in the snow at the end there, hope I get as good as that soon.

none of those games even this one are simulators

The Spec II mod NAILED the BMW McLaren F1 sound!

[@Scyrella]

The hours I spent on this game and the long races were just the best I miss this game and these days Thanks for bringing me back !

[@FaceTheStreets]

I'm now enjoying this game on my Samsung note 10+ and it looks amazing on a high quality OLED. I'm grateful for the emulation community. Thank you fellow gamers and emulate on my friends ❤

[@verifeli]

Ah yes, GT3 chase cam and sound mod. Perfect.

[@tatacraft791]

Was waiting for you to make an updated GT4 insane graphics video

The Yellow Lotus Potion provides a +10 buff to stamina. When you drink the potion, a wisp is created, which leads you to The Dregs.

5:40 i don't even like cars (as a means of transportation), but that sounds SO GOOD
