When videogame developer Kazunori Yamauchi first pitched Gran Turismo, Sony said no. A few years later it became the best-selling title in the Playstation catalog, inspired followers like Forza, Dirt, and Project Car, and motivated genre giants like Mario Kart and Need For Speed to bring their A-game. How did this happen? What makes Gran Turismo so revolutionary? And what does the future hold for the world’s favorite racing game? Join host James Pumphrey as he finds out how Gran Turismo changed gaming forever.

Hi donut
Yo, make a Initial D inspired Donut Media shirt.
do one about forzaaa!!!
Do the Gen 7 nascar tell us about it
ily
I remember playing GT3 non stop, driving a yellow EVO and telling myself, "One day im going to own a EVO." And here we are 20 years later and I have an EVO in my garage. All because of a video game.
@Yuri Lopes Just hustle man! I traded my R32 Skyline for it. Trust me, I never thought I'd own either of those cars. But I blame GT3 for my terrible, masochistic car addiction. Haha
@Shumaker Don't lose hope. I have faith in you! Ha
Impreza/WRX for me. Still working on tracking an old GC8 model though since I got a newer one. I'm glad some GT fans managed to make their dreams come true much like its creator achieved his.
Same for me for the mkiv supra. Got one in my garage now. Goals..
This helped me to never give up no matter how long it takes. I appreciate this.
Gran Turismo was the Wikipedia for cars before Wikipedia even existed. It has introduced so many people like me to cars I never knew existed and now I use so many of the cars on there to inspire my scale model builds.
Spot on
Gran turismo was THE reason my dream cars were the sw20 mr2 and 3000gt..Life changing game to an extent.
@@az_3kgt714 My dream car still is NSX '91~'04 and S2000. You can already imagine how disappointed i was when the new generation of NSX was shown.
And yes, i still live in jdm '90 era and nothing will change it.
That's a good point.
I feel like it sold more WRX's than Subaru's ad department.
It was like picking Toad in Mario Kart.
One thing that still stands out and sets GT apart from the competition for me is just how elegant every game is, regardless of when it was released. From the menus to the OST, to pretty much every detail, GT feels like art.
Exactly
It felt like a game for businessman and rich people just looking at the interface
Smooth jazz will do that.
GT2 is one of the greatest games ever made by any standard
Gt7 soundtrack bites hard
Yes
I remember playing grand Turismo 2 for days and days just to get that Red Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak hillclimb car. That car was the absolute beast of that game and would literally win you any course against anyone. That car made me love that game.
The money maker
Same here .I loved driving the Escudo off road up in then mountain
tying the 2 joysticks together with a rubber and playing the speedway endurance track.
Yup loved that car.. I wish I could do it for real in that car. I know the track easy
Lol that was the first thing I think of when I reminisce about GT2. There was a way to set that car up so it did like 400 mph and did a wheelie all the time! Haha
13:59 -- Hello from a GT Academy winner! I spent countless hours playing GT growing up. Then it completely changed my life in 2012 having won GT Academy. Thank you for covering the franchise and GT Academy. It was a fantastic opportunity for normal, every day people to get a shot at the world of professional motorsports. Forever changed my life and can not thank Sony, GT and Nissan enough!
I need an option to love this comment
that comment needs to be on top
Cheers from your fellow GT Academy buddy 🍻
@Hurtado many finalists and people who tried to win. Not too many actual winners.
@@thatracinglife from all of us mere mortal GT fans, congratulations!
I remember being a kid and actually doing the whole 24hr race with my brother. Taking turns and never pausing the game. Hardest gaming I ever did but definitely worth it.
Dang, that's so cool the game did that! What an experience 😂 wish I could go back in time and do that now
hellz yeah... me n my bro were actually just reminiscing about this about a week ago
Man I did this with my best friend and at one point his little brother wanted to use the television and we told him no way and he grabbed a hammer and ran after us. It was terrifying. Success though.
@Adrian Gumbs nope lol. We did it about 4 times. It was a long time ago but I remember the best we did was 3rd.
My buddy and I did the same thing! Epic moment to finally finish it. And to think people do this for real with the physical strain and G-forces to boot...super human endeavor.
Gran Turismo 1 was made from complete love and passion of cars. One of the all time greatest video games ever made.
Yes
Just say goat
@@SpiceofLifevariety your gen z terms are stupid
@@SpiceofLifevariety GT4 is the best racing gaming ever made in my opinion. :D
So glad to see Burnout get a nod. GT3 and Burnout 3 were 2 of my most played PS2 games.
Yes
Gran Turismo is THE reason I’m a car guy. So many hours spent playing each game. So unbelievably hype for GT7
Dito my friend
i will THEN buy the PS5
WTF???
Same...too bad I'll never be able to buy a PS5.
gt 5 got me into cars as back in 2011 or something
"Not bad, for a dude that wrecked his Skyline!"
Lol, that hurt.
Skylines are attracted to guardrails after all
@@tomasfabianserrut466 it's a burden all Skyline owners have to face
Me and my grandfather grinded through GT3 together when I was very little. This game birthed my love for cars first handedly. I am now obsessed with driving, rather than mechanics, specifically because of the way this game showed you the spirit of competition within the car scene. It is a masterpiece
Yes
So many memories doing 100 laps in GT3 on the super speedway and winning the Polyphony
Yes
Gran Turismo 4 still has one of the best intros ever. From the symphonic going straight into Van Halen, it pretty much defined my childhood gaming
I still feel goosebumps and a chill.
I literally cry 😭
The white GT40 race car with the angelic choir of God's children.
A masterpiece
As much as I love Van Halen, I think I honestly prefer the original Japanese intro.
No joke me and my mom actually played Grand Turismo on the PlayStation 1 when I was growing up. And she actually liked it so much she would play it by it herself. Also might have something to do with the fact that she used to drag race a 1972 Corvette in the 70’s.
Wish I had a mom like that...
Your mom is cool as hell
Sounds like your mom's a car fan, and GT made a gamer of her!
i wanna be your mum when i grow up :)
*GRAN
Watching this after seeing the Gran Turismo movie! Was a lot better than I expected!
Today I'm a car enthusiast because of GT. I spend hours and hours just to read the description of any car, that was so ritch for me. I was playing a game and learn car specs and history at the same time! By far the greatest game I have ever played.
Yes
I remember going to my dads house on his weekend to have me, and accidentally erasing all of Grand Turriamo off of his memory card by mistake. My punishment was to complete all of the licenses before I went back to my moms. Seeing this typed out really makes me rethink my entire childhood.
Punishment fits the crime.
The question is did Dad get gold or bronze on the license tests?
Definitely fits the crime. I would have beat my kids ass and made him redo my licenses….
Did you just drop a piece of pizza on the floor?!? Now eat this whole large by yourself!
Are we the same person? Exact same thing happened to me an my dad an I played through the whole weekend until we had the Escuda dominating at the final races.
Gran Turismo 4 has the best menu soundtrack of any video game in existence. Change my mind.
No signs of cap detected in this comment.
Agreed. The menu music is great.
I like that game more than GT3
Best game to ever grace our mortal hands.
mehh i like gt3 soundtrack for me
When this game came out, my social life went out the window. I was absolutely hooked. This was THE game that solidified my love for Gran Turismo for years to come. To this day, I am still a devoted GT fan. There is no other racing game in my book that will surpass GT.
Same here. Me and my best friend only took breaks to smoke weed and keep playing
Yes
Hate to say it but yes I agree with this..played it as soon as I got back home saw my phone…it was 5 in the morning lol
i also agree 100% first one i played was gt4 best game series ive ever played
Honestly I would love to see an up to speed on tuning and how it’s evolved since the good ole carburetor days.
Me too, that would be a bit job
Yes
You forgot to mention how yout "drivers licence" and partial credits would transfer to the next release. It was always such a nice bonus for staying loyal to the game.
The drivers license teach lessons for life.
Gran Turismo 5, given to me as a gift by my mother 12 years ago, is the sole reason I am hardcore into cars. That game is a core childhood memory for me. I can’t wait to play GT7.
12 years? Seriously? Already been that long? Omg time flies...
no fuckin shit it’s been 12 years oh my god i got grand terismo 5 and a ps3 for christmas in 2010 i was 7 years old at the time, man tine flys
My mother.. ouch.. she gave you one of your greatest joys in life and you call her mother...
@@rotherthies well that’s what she is…my…mother…huh??
WTF???
There's a touching and cool story that went around the horn a couple years back regarding GT. A young man's father had passed away and one day while looking through some old stuff he found a GT game and memory card or something. Anyway, there was a save on there with an insane lap time around one of the tracks that was made by his dad. The guy decided to get back into the game temporarily, git gud, and beat the time. So, for a while he would try and beat the ghost car of the insane time around this track. Just in case "ghost car" is an actual thing. Just a faded car that's a recorded version trof when that person saved the lap time. For a while this guy felt as if he was racing against his dad...as if his dad left a part of him behind. Then one day after trying and trying to beat this insane time of this lap by his dad, he was about to win. Only he realized that if that happened then he would be the new fastest time on this track so the ghost car of his dad would be deleted. So he stopped and lost. He figured he had so much fun trying to get to the time set on this track by his father, why beat it and delete it. He knew he could...and he wouldn't get anything for "winning". So he kept his dad's record lap time in case he ever felt like being as close to his dad as possible and going for a lap or 2 with him.
Yes
The intro song for this is so good. You guys are so talented at making interesting and informative videos
Christmas 2001 was lit: GTA 3 blew my mind with its freedom, Gran Turismo 3 blew my mind with its graphics and attention to detail, there will never be a generational leap like that again.
Gran Turismo 3 graphics were so unreal back in the day. Still looks good today.
WTF???
@@strebrr Agreed, still have a PS2 and a copy, doesn't look the greatest on a 4k tv, but at least I have component cables lol
@@jakethreesixty I love GT4 so much that I'm playing it in 2024.
Just 29 seconds in and nostalgia hit when I saw the racetrack of my childhood, the High Speed Ring. This game brings back so many great memories growing up with my brother. We'd take turns doing endurance races, we took the game so serious like it was our job. We even checked with each other before buying cars and upgrades like it was real money lol. Good times man, good times.
I know right!
Rented GT1 in 99 at blockbuster, immediately bought it. A few yrs later I bought the force feedback wheel and pedals, then had an aluminum frame built by local fab shop and made myself a simulator with a honda civic seat from a junkyard. GT taught me more about driving than I ever thought possible. Now I play GT in real life, I race a 350z. Thank you Kazunori Yamauchi.
Gran turismo 1 was the OG. My favourite event was the Grand Valley Speedway endurance race of 60 laps in the Subaru Impreza rally car without tweaking the gear ratio. It would top out at about 257km/h but its acceleration kept it head of those other race cars with a higher top end. Definitely that race contributed to me learning to utilise the manual transmission L2/R2 really well, didn't take much to get to the high gear and smash it back down to 2nd gear on the approach to a corner. Had some favourite corners which you could only pull off using in manual and would get the most speed out of it. Definitely great memories.
Yes s
“… to whatever game we’re pushing THIS week!”

That's called being self aware and I like it
DETA VAR SOM FAAN!!!
Gran Turismo has defined a lot of my life, including becoming an actual race car driver, owning a stock car, enjoying the finer cars in life including owning a Camaro and rebuilding my trucks engine with over 500HP! Gran Turismo was my first PlayStation game and to this day I play the GT series and have a display on my games shelf just for Gran Turismo!
As a big fan of racing games in any platform, I will truly thank the Gran Turismo team for revolutionizing racing sims and racing games in general. I still to this day have to play the console versions of GT but I have the PSP version of it on my phone through an emulator and boy! I get why Gran Turismo is so iconic. Great physics, wide range of customizations, so many cars to choose from, awesome looking graphics, and controls really well.
They brought sim racing to the consoles.
Yes
Emulator respect 💯
I never thought that Kaz was a street racer before he became a video game developer, then a real life racing driver. Gotta thank Kaz and the Gran Turismo franchise as a whole for changing the way racing games looked and felt like forever, and we sure wouldn’t have Forza without Gran Turismo.
As a die-hard Forza fan myself (even favoring Forza over Gran Turismo), and having played games from both franchises, I have to say that sometimes I’m envious of Gran Turismo, and while both have their strengths and weaknesses, both are insanely fun to play.
Forza never really did it for me, too much of an arcade feel I guess. Although I loved playing it, GT in some way always felt more 'real' to me.
Yes
Gran Turismo literally taught me how to race and drive properly. When the first one came out no believed me how accurate the feel of the cars were. Through every "game" released my skills only grew. It ultimately lead to me winning races and championships in real life racing. The thrill I get from racing people online is the same I get from doing the real thing. When I got on a real race track there wasn't a learning curve other than gravitational forces was non existent. I learned setup from Gran Turismo and the car I chose to race with was chosen from the catalog of cars I only learned about from Gran Turismo.
I can't give enough credit or thanks to this simulator for the driver I am today.
If you want an example of this monumental influence this game had on the planet, the FIA backs this simulator. Nuff said.
Thank you Kazi.
Thank you Polyphony Digital.
And thank you Donut Media for giving this simulator the credit it deserves.
I was 17 when GT came out and I read that big fat driving manual it came with and it truly taught me the basics to understanding the physics behind track driving. I always felt it helped me be a much better driver than my peers, and I still believe that!!!
GT is so incredible... :')
I love hearing those stories!
Happy to hear that brother! 💪
you should try an actuay racing simulator Like IRACING instead of an arcade game like grand turismo , im sure you could learn lots
@@andrewpfeifer2808 GT is a sim drivers from around the world learned to drive on that game.
i play gta
The amount of hours it took for me to get gold on all licenses in GT 1, 2, and 3 is both ridiculous and well worth it
that one license test at Monaco with the red/white Toyota LeMans car lmao. I tried for months and could never get the gold time. Then like two years later at a friends house we're playing and on of my first laps I set the gold time on their save LOL
@@dukedub Nice! Aw man…ALL of the S-license test nearly killed me lmao
Man, those "S" class licenses were ridiculous... But fun...
Licenses... Back in the day, my friends used to pay me to complete their gt licenses. They paid me according to which trophies they want me to get for them. The lowest rate was for just completing all of those licenses, doesn't care what trophies I got for them. The highest rate was for getting all gold trophies for each licenses test.😎
As a kid I could never ever beat any of the harder licenses. :(
I’m 50 and still play GT7 daily. Been playing since the beginning. Love it!
I played the original Gran Turismo SO MUCH it hurt. trying to get those perfect times and Licenses always felt impossible! I swear it made me such a better driver to understand understeering and oversteer, etc. loved it so much! Thanks for the content.
Yes
38 years old and I can still remember the first time I played Gran Turismo. Was an experience I'll never forget and I've bought every one since. Hoping 7 brings back the feel. Sport let me down.
Yes! Give us that career progression!
I loved sport a lot because it was focused on online racing but I love a traditional GT game and I too hope 7 can bring back that feeling back.
I remember too. It was a demo disc, with the Chevrolet Corvette 427 on the highspeed ring. It hit the rev limiter in 4th gear at 144MPH.
I think it’s good to have a mix of sport and 7, Sport was my first GT game and I can’t wait for GT 7
you will never get the same feeling anymore because you have already grown
The biggest thing about gran turismo was licences you actually learned to drive and the glory of gold after a random turn is unmatched
i had the little arcade wheel on the table u have i loved it from the early 90s
I remember playing GT on ps2 with uncle as his so amaze on my driving skills but the truth was i know how the pressure sensitive button work as if i press it harder the car on the game goes faster.
His really hook the game as its really felt realistic. Good old days.
The soundtrack for GT should get an honorable mention.
I remember jamming for hours to stones temple pilots and other great songs.
I am I am I am I am I wanna get close to you…
Every time I hear Sex Type Thing I transport myself into a Skyline turning in a race corner to 8G force looking at the front of the car.
STP’s Sex Type Thing, My Favorite Game by The Cardigans and Garbage’s I think I’m Paranoid are still complete bangers!
Then you’ve got Snoop Dogg with his Gran Turismo rap 🤣
@@DilRyeMaster don't forget about Soul On Display.
@@Hardcore_flat_four THE MUSIC was way too good for a racing game
i was genuinely shocked by how good the jazz music was
Gran Turismo was the catalyst for every JDM fanperson ever. It's the reason I can get a R32 GTR for less than ten grand now! :(
yeah, it definitely played a huge part in pushing the jdm hype
That and they are over 25 years old now lol
Can or can’t?
@@alxgu198 I think he means can’t
The WT stuff isnt paying enough yet odd for that R32? :( :P
My 15 year old god son and I had a LAN racing night where we were playing Assetto Corsa. While I was trying to teach him about driving, at one point I mentioned how far we had come since I couldn't imagine anything like a VR mode in the original GT.
He said "what is Gran Turismo?".
...
I instantly turned into the "BACK IN MY DAY" old man talking about playing the JPN GT when it came out. :-).
I would say more like “Interactive Encyclopedia of the Car Universe” rather than just “car game”. This franchise introduced so many people to cars.
Couldn't the same be said about Forza Motorsport 4 (and 5) and its Autovista with Jeremy Clarkson and Co.?
What i'm trying to say is, the GT franchise isn't a unicorn that did something no one or nothing else did.
@@k.r.99 I don't think you watched the whole video and you came at it with a Forza fanboy mindset. Forza wouldn't exist if Gran Turismo didn't exist, Gran Turismo greatly changed the way racing and motorsport games were made and they continue to have quality rivaled by very few.
@@k.r.99 yes, Forza motorsport was actually inspired by Gran Turismo... The video even mentioned that...
You guys missunderstood me. Forza was just a spontaneous example. I'm talking about the fact that there were many things in the 90s and early 2000s that introduced people to car enthusiasm, other than GT. For example you have Top Gear.
@@k.r.99 their comment never mentioned Gran Turismo being a unicorn. It is exactly as they stated; it introduced many to tons of cars. Car games will always “teach people about cars” but it’s safe to say Gran Turismo was solely responsible for many since they carried models and variants of cars that were not carried in any other games ever and they’ve been doing that since their first game in the 90s.
Forza in that regard was not breaking new grounds. Forza 4 was an excellent entry in its own right but for different reasons.
I took up simracing 2 years ago when I turned 59. Had never engaged with online or single-player gaming to that point.
GT Sport has brought me so much pleasure in this time of COVID lockdowns (I'm in Australia where we hold the world record for lockdowns).
And a couple of my friends are in their 70s and pretty quick, lol.
That's awesome!
I'm 61 in Canada started with GT 1. I was always a bit of a car guy.
I even got high speed evasion and pursuit driver training, which came in handy being a courier driver. 😁
@@mrnobody3161 we crusties shld stick together.
Awesome u started then. I wish I had. Can u still get GT4 discs and will they play on PS5?
love this episode! gt is my favourite game of all time. i actually had tears reminiscing of the good, no great! old days of grinding for credits to beat the next track
To think I’ve been here since 500k subs and now we’re over 6M 🥺 so happy for donut
Gran Turismo really thought me about how can slow cars be more fun than fast cars and really helped me on the understanding of downforce and suspension mechanics.
100%. I far prefer to make a nimble little 4 cylinder scream around my local hills than have a big powerful boat of a car that wants to understeer over the edge 🤣
@@samdekker90 yeah same, id choose a Levin 86 over a hellcat to drift lol
As a diehard Gran Turismo fan, this is basically the one that started my entire childhoods.
mate.. thumbs up.. that was a cracking video..from the great info to the awesome green screening.. kudos to you
Very cool tribute video to Kazsan and GT!!!
Sleeping in the studio under desks reminds me of architecture students.
Like 3 months back, I was playing Gran Turismo 3 on an emulator. My dad saw what I was playing and was surprised I even knew what it was. We talked about it and we decided to buy ourselves a ps2 again. We got GT3 and the ps2, boy are we having fun.
Truely a wonderful franchise that got me into cars.
I'm really glad, because GT3 is seen as the best game in the series (although I personally prefer 4 slightly, just because of the extra cars), but damn this comment made me feel old lmfao.
@@sporkafife
I should get gt4 next, i’ve heard great things from that too.
Your dad is man of culture
@@MemeJuicee people didn't like it as much at the time, because it wasn't much of an improvement over GT3, more like just "more of the same", which I guess is understandable, people felt like they'd already bought this game a few years earlier! But looking back on it all these years later, more of the same is perfect 😂
@@sporkafife If it ain’t broken! 😂
One thing missing from the video : GranTurismo is famous for the OST music. Especially the JDM GranTurismo features music by T-Square which is a famous Japanese Jazz Band. You can mix and match with Initial D OSTs and it'll get you speeding tickets real fast.
I hated the music used in the US version of the game compared to the original JDM game
The good music they used IMO was the ones written and performed by Daiki Kasho.
T square made a song in the 80s that the Mario theme was based on
T-squares F1 theme was 🔥
@@noaht2005 yeah, Gran Turismo and Mario were the first videogames I've ever played.
Now I have discovered that both Koji Kondo and Masahiro Andoh have been conspirating with my whole life.
Also, Daiki Kasho is God.
Love Gran Turismo. It’s the god father of racing games. I honestly can’t imagine what racing video games and sims would be like today if GT wasn’t made. I’m so glad it was. It’s inspired so many other titles. It’s also an encyclopaedia of not just cars but all kinds of history and motor racing. It’s amazing the lengths and details GT games go through. GT is truly like no other.
Also I went to the February 2020 GT Championship in Sydney and got to meet and take photos with the man. I shook Kaz’s hand the same hands that helped make GT. Wow hehe. Anyways I’m just to glad GT exists. Great video it was so informative and entertaining.
I remember my parents had a 94 Plymouth Grand Voyager MarkIII With the extend roof and a tv in it. On GT2 I did a 6 hour race endurance race. From Buffalo NY to Dayton OH. I made my parents not shut off the van, even with fuel stops. It was the best.
Cruisin USA has 8 cars as well, loved that game! Great video !!
Hello slap
SLAPPPP 🤩🤩🤩
We need some Subscriber Convoys once FH5 fixes their shitty servers!!! 🙏🏻🤪
“Cruuuuuuissiiiiiiiiinnnn, in the USA, yeah!”
Yooo slap what's good!!!
Honestly, at the time, the game physics felt so real, that this game was able to teach me how to drive a car, and how to take advantage of things like weight transfer/body roll, and how to maintain road grip with a real car, before I ever started driving. Only racing game I've ever played that gave that feeling. Absolutely amazing game.
The amount of tweaking I did with this game on my suspension really did teach me so much to do time attacks. GT2 Bab-Ae. Also leading me in to buying a z32 and loving the amount of things I could do to my car to personalize it to me. These games are everything to me.
Facts...!!!!!!!!!!!!
same... i learned to drive by playing GT, GT2
it taught me how to drift.
no shit!!
Exactly the same here. I ended up passing my driving test with an almost perfect score because of GT.
I remember reading an old interview with Kaz before GT2 came out.
He said that eventually he would like to make a game with every car ever made and every race and rally stage that exists.
Aiming high.
Let's hope not, coz it would be a gruesome experience to download and install.
Yes s
I LOVE this channel. Your videos are extremely well edited. I massively enjoy seeing all of the inserted clips, graphics and texts.. with that said I just have a nerdy and nitpicky comment for the editor. The theory of "heat death" has nothing to do with an increase in temperature, actually the exact opposite. It is a theory that proposes that the end of the universe will be the result of achieving a state of complete and perfect entropy and therefore no means of creating new matter. So the flames didn't make sense lol.
5 years development is why it was a masterpiece. Seriously though, gran turismo is what got me into street cars and circuit racing. I was interested in drag racing prior to that but it opened a whole new world to me.
Love gran turismo.
Gran Turismo also partnered with FIA in GT Sport. They flew the best competitors from all around the world to compete in Monaco for the World Finals. I was one of the lucky players to go. Thanks for the video 🏆🏁
Wow that's cool
Your about description quote inspired me lmao.
@@clashstudio2014 Haha, really? Im glad to hear that. It’s something that I’ve stuck with for a long time. Patience and respect goes a long way. 👍🏼🏁
That's amazing!
@@mycarrysun Thanks Mike! It was an awesome experience. I’m sure GT7 will have something similar when the game releases in March! 🏁🏁
Wow, I do love all the series of Gran Turismo! So many good memories that I've been trying on PSP emulator app! So I can do it soon!!!! Thanks for the idea James from Donut Media!!!!!!
Still have my copy of GT3. Amazing how a series has had such an impact.
I know GT can be snuffed at a bit these days because it isn't a full on simulator when compared to other titles, but I've always found it hit that sweet spot between simulation and arcade masterfully. Makes for a perfect blend of fun and technique
Well in my opinion because GT never claimed to be a racing simulator, it always said real driving simulator
The presentation and overall experience is way more enjoyable than the "real" sims. Even the menus in Gran Turismo are dope.
@@alanramirez7635 While it's amazing no doubt, Project Cars 1 + 2's presentation might just beat it for me.
The 24hr races with my dad and cousins was always a blast.
I moved to GA and I drove by Panoz the other day and it made me think of all the hours I put into playing GT3
I spent one summer playing this game for hours, all those driving reactions I have learnt during play saved my life twice in 2 separate car accidents I kid you not.
I can remember in high school on the weekends my friends would come over and we would do the 24 hour races and take turns like irl endurance racing. Great times! Our parents loved it too. Give us a couple of pizzas and a 2 liter and you didn't hear from any of us for the entire weekend. Except for the one time I hit my friend, Josh, who was in first and caused him to wreck and he got mad and threw the controller through the window. 🤣
I can relate. Good times
Those were the good ol normal days , society has gone to shit now .
@@Edemce1 "Society has gone to shit now."
No, that's just an illusion caused by both rose-colored nostalgia glasses and that your own subjective experience can only cover your own life time.
Or in a nutshell: "Hey remember that time slavery was still a thing in the US? No, you weren't alive back then? Exactly."
I was around 11 when i first got properly introduced to gran turismo. And ever since, now at 27, I've been a car guy thanks to gran turismo. Back in the day where Internet wasn't even a thing, there was something special about being able to see, hear, and race those amazing cars. And for that, I'll always be thankful to Mr. Kaz, he truly created a new generation of car guys.
Was 11 too! But im a bit older haha (34). Hit me up if you'd like a new challenge in GT Sport
We played for hours and hours. My oldest son and I can now race together. Lost my youngest son in July. He never got the chance to race with my cockpit and Thrusmaster. RIP J.C.F. 1988-2021. Miss you son.
OMG you guys really put the shreck race game!!!! You are Amazing!!!
Gran Turismo did the impossible of straddling the line between approachability for newcomers to cars and gaming, and depth in car choice / courses for players who already were familiar with gaming and the racing world. On top of that, it's wrapped in an elegant J-Jazz package that everyone enjoys. It truly belongs in gaming legend.
some sick fuckin' jazz bro, i'm tellin you
forza? no daihatsu, no jazz, no thanks
If I had a dollar for every hour I spent playing GT in college, and invested all of that into BTC, I would buy Donut right now. The upgrade system was brilliantly addicting.
I remember the bug I got on Gran Turismo 2 was one of the Cup B races all cars had to comply to a specific low horsepower and weight limit, only problem was no matter how good you drove there was this pesky white Vector W8 that out paced every car as it was the wrong class 🤣.
Sent my CD out to have the correct one sent back and all was good but I remember all the drama that was involved with the 98 percent issue and cars running out of their class.
I used to have that toy racing game on the desk as a kid. Your bringing back memories 👌🏽🔥
Doing 24 hour endurance races and not turning the ps1 off for a couple of days
Fried two ps1's by just plugging it into a socket without a surge protector
You should try the 24h of lemans on GT5 its a REAL 24H race, like,you start playing at 3p.m and ended at 3p.m,its really intense to play (if you got any PS3)
I remember playing all the versions (yes I am that old) but gt3 really did stand out. I always got the ae86 in game so eventually, i just got a real one. And in GT Prologue, i got the gt86 in black and put enkei rs05rr wheels on it. Now i have one in my driveway with those wheels. I swear GT is just a wish list configurator haha
Yep, gt3 was different, the physics or handling characterisitics just seemed spot on in that one, just wish it had the used car lots like a couple other ones did.
That’s crazy because I got my ps4 just cuz I wanted play gran tourismo , growing up my parents didn’t want to buy me any console . I’m also a big fan of the ae86 panda trueno , and now I also have a 2017 white Brz limited which I’ve put black Sti aero parts all around , which literally will give you that ae86 trueno nostalgia. I can’t wait for GT7 and build a sim at home . I’m currently 22 .
GT3 was the meh one to me. Way less cars and just less of what I wanted personally.
As a kid I played racing games like Pole Position and Rad Racer but Super Monaco GP 2 was the one that got me hooked.
Yes s
I've been stuck playing gran Turismo with the steering wheel, I love it with the wheel.
I never thought he's was gonna make an up to speed on gran turismo 😅
Right after fh5 too 😂
Well you thought wrong pal.

*It’s amazing to see how far Gran Turismo has come, especially with GT7 on the way.*
Forza is the king now..... Not forza horizon, forza motorsport
@@hernans.5613 I dont think so forza is pretty unrealistic too
@@hernans.5613 Gotta agree. Forza is leaps and bounds above the gt series, anyone calling it not a simulator hasn't played the game.
@@hernans.5613 motorsport isn't that good... horizon is great, 5 is one pf the best racing games of the year, maybe the best
@@hernans.5613 Forza, both Horizon and Motorsports have shit physics, shit compared to other simcades that it's. They're still very fun arcade games tho
Now there's a Gran Turismo Movie coming out. Crazy!
This game changed my life, I learned so much about cars stright from this game. Especially JDM. 7th grade and I was stuck on it.
Gt3 saved my life in prison....sounds wild cuz it was, i grew up on it and while serving a short sentence years later in the big house we were allowed an hour per group to play ps2. Immediately i stood out amongst all the older car guys for being the only person to be able to beat the S license driving tests, forming some strong friendships/alliances with them...soon after i found my self in some serious trouble with the indians(native americans) after an incident that happened in the kitchen. Long story short my guy Bj was a diehard fan of racing and in some ways looked up to me for my ability to race, not too mention everyone knew he was crazy af (serving life without parol) and vowed to stab anyone that tried to mess with me in any way. God bless him for keeping me safe, I hope he is doing well.
Wow..
Gran Turismo was my life.
That game gave rotaries the respect they deserve too.
I remember there was another rotary other than rx7 that was a four door and was an absolute drift beast and could spin the tires all the way through to the fifth gear and still had torque left over
I wish they would have included the Rx-3, SA/FB Rx-7, and the JC cosmo in the later games. They did a great job representing the rotary nonetheless. Just a little pissed they had every version of the skyline covered. I see why tho.
@@thefury4424 you mean RX-8?
@@shira_yone I think it was the cosmo the guy above mentioned
@@thefury4424 Cosmo is a 2-door so
Dude the OG GT back in like the late 90s? i don't remember but i remember playing it on my Zenith glass screen tube TV! I consider it a personal life achievement when, after i think months of trying, I got my "S" license. True story: I taught my wife how to drive with GT, having her do the license tests with a cheap PS2 steering wheel on her lap LOL, no BS. Great memories.
I play gran turismo for 26 years ...
when i was 13 i bought a ps1 with gt1 of my own earned money and ill never forget that day and starting up gran turismo 1 for the first time ... i truly love this game and i have a lot of respect for the developers ....
just inmagine a grown man was crying when he saw the first gran turismo 7 trailer never expected that a car game could give you a real emotion like this it might not be the very best simulator but its the only car game that able to touch my heart in a special way thats hard to describe ... i just love this game
Wow what a game! Remember the advert with the two cop/detectives questioning a suspect in an interrogation room and he's talking about all the cars he'd been driving. Epic game! Great vid!
I remember watching a documentary about the GTR, and Yamauchi appeared over since he was requested by Nissan to work on the graphics and interface of the GTR R35, also this gave Yamauchi the access to bring the concept GTR to appear on the GT game. Yamauchi, An absolute Goat.
Yamauchi-san : "i would like to take the challenge where people in the world feel more reality than the real thing"
Fans : "ARE THEY EVEN ALLOWED TO DO THAT!?"
OF COURSE WE CAN
that quote gives me SAO vibes, and im not even mad about it. Sure his name is Yamauchi and not Kayaba?
I got GT5 for the PS3 when I was probably 11 years old and I still hum some of the songs today. I miss that game so much, the Zonda R being in that game made me realize cars were and still are the coolest thing on the planet
I played Motortoon so much as a kid and I never knew it was the same guy that made Gran Turismo
U can really feel the passion Kaz and his team put into those games
I remember playing GT1 when it was still fresh back in the late 90's with my younger brother. We somehow earned enough credits to buy an orange colored NSX racecar (working our way from a stock Mazda Demio with a 1-liter engine or something ridiculous like that), and we were expecting to own everyone and everything with that car, but then we entered into some advanced racing series and were embarassed by stock looking Mitsubishi GTO's and Nissan Skylines. At first we were like "whaaaaaaat??!!", but then we looked into it and found out that - oh! Turns out you can tune a GTO, Skyline or Supra to 930 horsepower or thereabouts. That aspect of the game is what absolutely blew me away.
In gt1 my skyline was tuned to 1150 hrsprs, I was untouchable. Lol
GT3- a spec was super important to me because I remember playing it with my dad every sunday morning and working together like a little father son racing team. Awesome memories
Yess
Thank you Mr. Yamaushi. I fell in love with cars during the PS1 era thanks to you and your team.
Yes s
Gran Turismo got me into racing games and cars on a whole 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Same here.
i still remember seeing GT in a gaming magazine and wanting it immediately. when it came out everybody i knew played it. GT3 was incredible! and i remember being frustrated over GT5’s long release date, but i realize now how difficult it was to make. this game will always have a special place in my heart!
GT3 was a let down compared to 2, in terms of car choice. The better graphics made up for it. Then 4 came and blew 3 out the water.
The merch add at the end of this video made me the happiest I've been in weeks.
Wether this speaks for the quality of the add or...
Something else is entirely up to you.
