    Thanks again to everyone that donated to Beyond Blue the last few months, we managed to raise $1,220 to help those struggling with their mental health, so incredibly grateful for your generosity! 💙💙💙 I admit, I still haven't gotten over the fact I couldn't run the Melbourne Marathon this year, but at least I'm continuing to recover; returning to my regular exercise schedule, just not at 100% intensity yet. Again, I promise you all, once I'm back to full fitness, I will run a marathon eventually! 🏃

    This was my first ever PSP game when my mom bought me one 13 years ago. My GTPSP save file on that PSP is still intact to this day, with over 20,000 miles of distance driven and over 2200 in-game days. Sadly, my PSP has died and I can't play that save file on an emulator or even my PS Vita, so as long as the memory card data doesn't get deleted over time, it'll remain safe until the end of time. Just listening to the game's BGM really takes me back to a time when I was a happy-go-lucky kid spending hours of entertainment on this game. I'd do anything to go back to those days.

      To be a kid again. I love these stories because gaming was all I lived for back then. Also, what I loved about the PS3/PSP era is how we can upload our own audio files to make playlists for in game. I did that with NFS Hot Pursuit on PS3. That feature felt like gaming on a PC. I always loved how the must plays from the game, not the system.(like having to use Spotify) It feels kinda like a demotion that the feature is taken away from PS4 and I assume PS5 too. I understand with how accidents digital streaming services like Spotify are more common, I can see why there isn’t a need for it for MOST people. I wonder if it’s cost effective for them to remove the feature. The feature is very similar to how you can load a game on PS1 and swap the game CD to an audio CD and music would play from there depending on how the game plays tracks. It works best with Ridge Racer because the game really only loads once after you get to the main menu whereas you have to put the game disc again for every load screen.

    I got super into this game when I had a really long bus commute into the city. The simpler gameplay loop of grinding for cars made it kind of perfect for me in that situation. Between the graphics and classic Gran Turismo handling, it felt like the best way to get my racing fix in a portable. I would have still liked a classic campaign mode, but it's still a really impressive title for the PSP.

    I played this games for many years in my youth. By far the fastest way to farm credits was taking a proper rally car (Lancer Evo VI Rally Car '99 top tier for sliding through imo), go to Tahiti Maze under a drift run and just do solo laps there. You get double the amount of credits you make as points. If memory serves me right I was at best able to clear about 60k credits in just 1 lap at max but averaged about 30-40k per lap. Not per run, per lap. So that 8 million credit Ferrari F1 car took about 250 laps.

    Loved this game to death in 09, very much helped kid me stave off the painful wait for 5. Many many hours addictedly grinding races for cooler cars, appreciating how damn good the game looked and felt, and I appreciate all of that even more now. It's a very impressive translation of the feel of GT on a portable system, and the progression I think is very nice for a side game. Been playing it a ton recently cause the movie came out.

    I think that GT PSP was only made to setup your garage in time for GT5. Collect cars and then by the time 5 releases, you'll have them in the game, ready to be fully customized.
    While it may be the most forgettable, it will still have a place in my heart as one of my favor GT games because it goves me a reason to collect as many cars as I want rather than buying a car and work on upgrading it while having the mindset of wanting to try many other cars out which could be a heck of a grind.

Having that and the PS TV to compare or remote play with either PSP/Vita or PS TV is fun in its own way. Even using a third party app to cast my phone it's fine but noticeable delay the fact the PSP/Vita do it so well cable or wifi then a phone is magical the effort Sony out in to get it to work let alone the Wii U or Xbox's phone app SmartGlass to try and do similar as the second screen app Sony had for Vita and phones no idea how Xbox remote play is (do cloud testing) but still. Fun tech/memory for sure.

    It was only unfortunate that certain cars had a certain performance that could only be matched by one other car, so when you turned off one make races you would still drive against 3 opponents with the same car
    This game can still be mad fun for a few hours if you let your imagination go loose xD

    Gran Turismo for the PSP was supposed to be a launch title. Originally, it was supposed to be a full GT experience, and supposedly would have multiple UMDs (only Final Fantasy Type0 did it at the end) It then got delayed again and again, until we got it almost at the end of the psp's life cycle. It probably got stuck in development hell for a while and also could be that polyphony was VERY busy with the gran turismo 5 stuff so we ended up with half the original experience..

    For Christmas in 2008 I got a PlayStation 3 + MotorStorm Pacific Rift and NFS Undercover which was one of the best gifts I'd ever gotten. I was 12 at the time and was heavily into all the PlayStation stuff back then. Most of my friends all had PS2s, I had a very used worn out one briefly in 2006 with GT3 until the disc drive stopped working a few months later, so once I had the PS3 I also really wanted a PSP so I could play the few games that actually had PS3 to PSP integration features, as well as it was just the coolest thing ever to me, a cut-down PS2 in my pocket as well as it was a decent media player too. So after lusting after one and raving about it to my parents, for Christmas in 2009 I got a Gran Turismo special edition PSP bundle, which consisted of a physical copy of the game, a black PSP 3000 silk screened with the GT logo under the face buttons, and a "leather" case. It was the best feeling ever despite being pranked by my Mum when I unwrapped and saw the box for the PSP and it was full of socks.
    My family didn't have a lot of money, we lived in shitty rentals, drove 20+ year old cars that broke down a lot, and I went to rural public schools. We could afford the rent and to eat so we weren't poor, but we definitely didn't have a lot of luxuries, I was lucky to even have a bicycle, so the back-to-back Christmases of 2008 and 2009 were like a dream come true for me. I did not expect to get the PSP at all, figured the PS3 would have been it until I was a teenager and could afford to buy my own things, even then I knew the PS3 was very expensive, but nope I got totally surprised with the PSP. For sure it was one of the best events that happened in my childhood.
    I loved my PSP, and I still have it, weathered "leather" case and all, and GT was my most played game on it, and tbh it's one of the only GT games I properly like. I have a bit of an ADHD brain so I couldn't focus on things well and I tended to get bored when stuff got tedious (I always struggled in school for this exact reason), which is how I felt when I eventually got GT5, a game I waited years for and it was hugely disappointing. I loved GT3 on the PS2 when I had it, but I only ever played the arcade mode and a tiny bit of the career mode before the PS2 died, and I never had GT4 until many years later as an adult, so when I tried to play GT5 I just couldn't get into it, same with GT6, and then GT Sport, and even to this day I get annoyed with GT7 though I am not as bad with the attention span now and can deal with it. Forza has always easy to play for me as it gets to the point, but the later GT games since GT5 are a real slog for me. The PSP one though was awesome as it was very pick up and play which made it perfect for my idiot 12-year old brain back then, you could do all the license tests but you didn't have to for it to be fun, you could just select a track, race with the slow Renault (which I always got despite like many save file resets out of boredom) and then get faster cars as they were offered to you. The dealership is weird but I always just saw it as a way of giving me a reason to have variety in my garage. It's a shame I never knew anybody else with a PSP, because I really wanted to play the ad-hoc multiplayer but never got a chance to as everyone in school had a Nintendo DS and Mario Kart on the bus instead.

    Cool to see! My OG PSP broke at some point, but when this released I bought a PSP Go specifically for it. Buying the Go was pretty silly looking back on it, but was still pretty cool. “Yeah, the UMB drive isn’t necessary” smh lol

    GTPSP is the catapult of my never ending love for the Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit, used to tear down the circuit endlessly on my PSP and even up until recently where I played it on a emulator in my phone. It's not a perfect game at all, I would say that it lacks content such as upgrading your car's but without GTPSP, I could never master the Nurburgring

    I actually started with a Pontiac Vibe but i thought this was lame so i used my generous 100k credits to buy a Honda NSX Type R, pre-facelift, painted red. And since it was my first car for my first ever GT game, i have a *massive* love for this car, doesn't matter wich spec it is, every pre-facelift NSX has a lot of sentimental value for me

    @user-nj6bt5gy4s 11 місяців тому

    I was just playing this game not that long ago. As someone who played this game for a long time I’ll give my take on it + my control scheme:
    I play on my vita slim with the controls changed to have accelerate and braking be the right shoulder and left shoulder buttons. X to shift up and square to shift down while circle is handbrake and triangle changes the camera.
    I always play this game in the “first person view”. Despite the interior being a silhouette I still find the perspective cool on a psp game and it’s the only perspective where you get a sense of speed compared to the outside chase cam. I play with no music during the races too. With professional setting on all the cars.
    I played this game since I was a kid (silver psp Gt bundle unfortunately it’s long gone), and it’s probably my favorite Gt game/psp racing game to date. Next to ridge racer on psp. Yes there’s no career but if you’re a little imaginative you can make up your own. For example doing races single manufacturers in slower cars while you build up the rank level. Once you get to higher levels you can use faster cars and the opponents would get more and more difficult with each and every rank. D-B is pretty easy but A is pretty challenging and I think it goes up to S.
    There is no pressure sensitivity since the psp never had the feature but for cornering I always just tapped the gas and then flatten out (the right shoulder button for me).
    I can see how it can be repetitive and people coming from GT4 or 5 would be disappointed given the lack of proper career and customization external and performance wise.
    In terms of buying cars I find it much less grindy/repetitive to just see what shows up. If you find something you like and can afford it great, and if not maybe next time. It’s less about a specific make I want and more about looking forward to seeing what’s there in this case.
    I keep coming back to this game for a reason. Between the racing in cities and real circuits to snow drifting at Chamonix, and the charming music in the dealerships I genuinely never gotten sick of this game.
    It really is one of my favorite games on the psp (and on my vita of course)

  • @Bapepsi
    @Bapepsi 11 місяців тому +1

    I remember around that time deciding not to buy it. Being low in money and the game not having a GT mode were the biggest reasons. Your review shows me that I was right, but also that it still stings that this is the only game in the franchise I did not manage to play.
    The trading system sounds really cool, in theory. Like a GT Pokemon. In reality, PD seems to keep forgetting that the GT mode, with its RPG progression feel, is the core of what makes GT so enjoyable (GTS and GT7, I am looking at you!). Maybe GT PSP was the first signal.

    8:41 That's because originally one was the Chrysler version (51) included on the PAL and NTSC-J version of GT3 and 4 and the other one was the Dodge version (91) included on the NTSC-U/C version of the game.

    This game is one of my favorites of all time. Since it came out in 2009 i played it for years. For the psp System it is amazing. You can get very easy and very fast a lot Cars in your garage. The good Thing is that you can send your Cars to the ps3 with gt5 and then you can play with your cars in the arcade mode. Not in the big gt mode. I have gt for the psp also in Digital Version. This is the better way to play it because you have shorter loading times

    Shelby One, Saleen S7, Ford GT 05, Dodge Viper, SLR are my most fun cars in this game.

  • @Madpie24
    @Madpie24 11 місяців тому

    One thing you didn't mention that I personally didn't like about the game is the credit reward balancing.
    afaik it's based solely on distance (for short races at least), meaning most of the rally tracks give you horrible rewards compared to many road courses, because they are a lot more technical and slower to drive. This also means the giant oval is by far the best credit farming track, despite it being the most boring to drive.
    The system also deinsentivizes longer/endurance races as you get diminishing returns on credits the more laps you add, e.g. driving a one lap race of the Nordschliefe three times is far more efficient than driving a three lap race of the same track.
    Bit of a nitpick though, overall I love this game, and I personally like the rotating dealership system :D

    it's a great game despite not having a career mode wich could be better
    I maybe get the Polyphony Digital point about the debt of the game
    since it's a portable console the battery life might be the issue if you start a career mode unless they remove the endurance race to avoid killing the battery
