The Slow Deterioration of Gran Turismo

That was fantastic to watch! I never had a console when growing up and with emulation I was able to try these games out and I can see why these games impacted a lot of people, the gameplay, music, atmosphere, so many things just made these games such a joy to play, thank you for having me in this video aswell ❤

If I can't play single player while being offline.......the game is trash

I think the main thing I miss about older Gran Turismo games (in addition to the 'loose' chase cam from GT1-GT3) is the lack of 'regular' consumer cars. My greatest joys playing GT, came from taking a severely underpowered car, like a front wheel drive Celica, and tuning it to max, and trying to win some supercar cup with it. Stuff like that. Or taking ordinary cars and Racing Modifying them, that was always super fun. And that's all gone now.

The original GT was what had made me into a car enthusiast. It introduced me to the car I ended up buying. WRX.

Dude, you brought me back to the days where me and my brothers didn't have a ps2 memory card, and we'd keep our ps2 on for like 2 weeks straight with all of our hard work put into GT 4, just to have it taken away by my aunt who thought we accidentally left it on. Man, it was so fun. I now play GT sport with VR occasionally. Thank you for this.

That DustinEden guy sure got some nerve talking smack about GT5

Gran Turismo 1 was actually the first GT to feature the iconic jazzy soundtrack. The Japan version feature the jazzy music, but not the western version because of region preference

GT 1 was mind blowing when released. to watch a camera perspective replay after the race was so far above any other game. the licenses were brutal, but the special cars were worth the suffering and that made it fun to try and try and try again.

GT7 with the PSVR2, a direct drive wheel and sim cockpit is one of the greatest experiences to ever be had. It is so awesome in VR.

I played the original Gran Turismo demo disc on a 13in TV for hours and probably watched the race replays for twice as long. It was such an insane experience looking back.

I remember like yesterday. I walked into Blockbuster to rent a game. I saw the game cover of Gran Turismo for the very first time. My curiosity peaked. I reached for the box art & flipped the box. The art, the graphics, the detailed cars; now I was intrigued. I rented the game, popped it into my PSOne and the best description of how it all felt playing the game? Magic. Literally, magic!

Man that GT4 intro.... still makes me tear up for some reason. One of the best video game intros ever made imo. I remember when it came out, I was a big fan of the series already and when I watched that intro I got shivers and was so happy to have this new GT game ahead of me.

I played GT4 religiously through college. Beat it to the 100th percentile. A proud moment. I saved the video of the final Nurburgring test with the Mercedes SLR McLaren. Took months of playing to perfect it.

Its amazing how GT always seem to push graphics and content wise for generations. It's amazing how impressive GT3 and 4 hold up to this day- they still are gorgeous looking games on top of their gameplay that still is so much fun to play with.

I really appreciate the fact that you actually criticized GT4 unlike most other people (including me). Also the part about the GT community being a lot more chill than others is pretty true in my experience, good video man

I've been playing GT since the very first one on the PS1 and then GT4, GT5, and GT6. GT is what inspired me to be a serious racing gamer, GT4 is what humbled me as a serious racing gamer, GT5's online community is what led me to be a veteran racing gamer, and GT6 was just a love letter DLC to GT5. I started playing Gran Turismo 5 recently on my dusty old ps3 and I checked my garage of all my cars. Some are still stuck online for sharing which they were the cars that I competed at the time and I just smiled at the cars I used in those years. Each favorited car had history of just drifting in the servers, penalty racing in Nurburgring, and flexing my Sebas Redbull Race Car for completing the Red Bull Challenge. The Gran Turismo games from 4 to 6 were the best games I ever played throughout my time playing them. Thank you so much for sharing this video. It does bring a lot of great memories.

played countless hours of this as a kid, I remember it feeling like I had actually purchased a NSX when I could finally afford it in game great video

I have to point out a small thing about the gt sport "sport mode" The races had a daily rotation at launch but this was changed to a weekly rotation at the update 1.23 (I looked on google to give the exact date) on July 2018 and it remained that way until the release of GT7 in 2022, where the weekly races where changed to be monthly this time

Thank you! 27:50 That damn stuck camera, ruining any sense of movement the car has. How people don't notice this game-breaking issue is beyond me, and is one reason I yawn while playing or watching any GT after 5. GT4 still has some movement, though, which prevented it from being immersion ruining.

GT4 and FM3 where the prime of each series, doesn’t mean that the newer games suck but they aren’t impressive for the time like those where back then
