Gran Turismo's Official Flash Game | Piece of Shift

  • In 2009, a Flash game was released to promote Gran Turismo PSP that has since been largely forgotten. Does it deserve its obscurity or should it be more widely remembered?
    Corrections:
    0:28 Extra clarification: Kerb's main business seemed to be digital marketing, and they only started their game studio in 2009 (www.gamedeveloper.com/game-pl...)
    1:12 The "didn't feel confident" part comes from Kerb's upload of the game onto Newgrounds, not their website as I implied (www.newgrounds.com/portal/vie...)

    Ironic that there's a mini game to identify car sounds considering that for the longest time, GT's engine sounds were vacuum cleaners lol.

      Nah ever since GT Sport and when they apparently hired a bunch of forza sound designers they have some of the better engine sounds in racing video games now, ironically levels above Forza nowadays.

    Huh, not suprised i'd never heard of this one before. There's some sort of melancholic nostalgia I feel for missing out on tie-ins like this. They're pretty much dead nowadays. No magazine promotions, no flash game DLC, nothing... (not that I know of) very sad.

    Very good video, I never knew that there were other ways to get the SP models at the time (other than the PS Store having them available and also to a lesser extent, the Japanese pre-order, since I own a poster promoting that and both my JP GTPSP games have cards with the codes), and I especially didn't know that there was a stinking flash game used to promote the game at the time in Europe, thanks!

      RR2 is so peak. A mobile racing game with good physics, an entire singleplayer campaign, a great soundtrack, and LAN and online multiplayer… it seemed impossible then due to hardware limitations, and it seems impossible now due to the unfortunate direction mobile games have gone. Glad to see another person who recognized the music though!
