  • The latest instalment of our series looking at the history of Gran Turismo heads to the final game to be released on the PlayStation 2 - Gran Turismo 4. While Gran Turismo 3 had really raised the stakes in the franchise, GT4 was about to show everybody that that was just the tip of the iceberg.

    The PS2 Era is where Gran Turismo peaked.

      Hard disagree. Physics and graphically the 5 & 6 were far superior to 1-4 as you'd hope and expect. Sport was perfect timing to get GT into the more serious realm of Esports just as it was gaining in popularity. 7 is a mix of both Sport and the old collectathon GT's of the past. Despite the very weird microtransaction nonsense at the launch of GT7, its such a great and thoughtfully created game.

    You know I am actually impressed with how much of an impact that Grand Turismo 4 has on many racing gamers. I even still see a handful of content creators who still make videos about them too. 👍

    GT4 has to be up there, it's the archetypal Gran Turismo for so many of us slightly older folk. The soundtrack was genuinely great, the graphics were a step forward too, the selection of cars and tracks, outside of AC mods there's still nothing like it.

    GT3 was a huge step up in graphics but GT4 finally brought the content to go with it. Before that, when GT3 came along I still returned to GT2 sometimes for the content. Then when GT4 was released I didn't really need to go back to either GT2 or GT3. It was all (mostly) there in one game (aside from Complex String). If only they could get the content together more in the current GT7 with the more traditional open career with more races. They've added some great ones in the limited time updates for weekly races (like the JGTC themed one this week) but for some reason they don't keep them in the game permanently. And Kaz claimed there'd be endurance races coming, 2 years ago, yet somehow Forza is getting an endurance update despite so many missteps at launch. In some ways GT7 feels like GT3 all over again. Wish it was more like GT4 all over again.

    GT4 is a near perfect game, what would make it perfect in my eyes would be it having GT3's physics.
    As a side-note IIRC GT3 had a diesel powered BMW in it but take my memories with a pinch of salt.

  • @RandomCarGuy17

    I'll say that Gran Turismo 4 was peak, but I preferred playing Gran Turismo 3 to 4. My big issue with 4 was the that physics were too understeery compared to 3 even when assists were off along with the controls feeling stiff. If it maintained the physics and controls GT3 had however, it probably could've been my favorite all time GT game.

      It proves the new games are going down hill, and that humanity is basically stuck firmly in nostalgia, because what we create recently does not make us happy and only makes us sadder over the past.
