Disclaimer: I have no part in the development of mods on GT4. My skill level regarding that stuff is basically zero. You can find links to the sources in the description. Spec II specifically involves the work of many people, too many to list in a comment or video description. The dedicated Spec II mod video has the credits listed there.
The fact that GT4 is the most talked GT game about being remastered than the other GT games (well except the latest one), just really proves that GT4 is the best GT game of all time. Remastered 5 and 6 would probably be focused on sounds, and the issue about standard cars.
A HD Remaster of GT 5 with better sound and higher resolution is good enough for me , but having premium quality on all cars would be a damn good bonus. I've played GT 4 to death and GT 6 had an underwhelming career mode. GT 5 was fantastic after the final updates. Really happy that fans try to improve GT 4 , if only there was a official GT 5 Remaster. But due to licensing etc that is very unlikely. That game had some great tracks.
I can only look forward the scope and size of a potential A-Spec mod for Gran Turismo 4, look at what it's done for GT2, just imagine what it'll do for GT4 when the modding team gets there!
Because the modern devs stopped listening to their actual customers. Look at how boring GT7 gets unless you’re a dedicated online player. These games you could do for hours on end by yourself
@@morce6163I think it sounds more like Forza Horizon 4's F1, especially in the hood camera. But It's close to GT7's F1 GTR too. In any case, This mod makes GT4 much better
Agreed. Certain aspects of PS2 shading makes the game look more authentic, not unsimilar to how some western movies look more realistic than newer cinema due to their no-frill cinematography.
GT5 is definitely over bloomed...but I've spent hundreds of hours on GT4 (my favorite of the series BY FAR), on PCSX2 with maximum fidelity...but you really can't say it looks better than GT5 on rpcx3 with max fidelity. Just have a race at Madrid, with 16 premium cars, all at 4k and 60fps...there's no comparison
GT3 has its own overhaul mod in development, GT3 Concept by Misuka. It doesn't seem close to release yet, but it's been progressing really nicely with MotoGP bikes shown off a couple weeks ago.
omg the hood cam, it's so good. Man I am so hyped for this release, I put 1k hours into the Randomizer, you bet I'm putting another 1k into the full release at least
This mod is almost perfect...if only they could un-censor the tobacco sponsorships on the rally cars! I love everything else, including the higher quality models, but it still feels wacky to see either blank space or "LANCIA RACING" on them instead of Marlboro or Martini.
@@duduzzz282 there is no link to the game since it's only a PS2 game you could play on PC using an iso file of the game using pcsx2 and add to it the mods in the description
Honestly, this makes it look how I remember playing on my CRT projection TV at 1080i back in the day. Was truly mind-blowing to see the visuals of GT4 come out of a PS2
my notes on this vid. Great Viper Cockpit cam, rivals a modern F1 car cockpit cam in terms of practicality. 4:32 BACKFIRE!??! not even Moriah Mills or Ava Addams could get me off like That McLaren F1 sound does 8:51 Bluetooth Engine Bay 10:44 more intense than a F1 battle
I've got a website going for the mod which should explain everything you'll need to get it set up when it launched, but of course people are free to make video guides if they want
This is another Gran Turismo 4: The New Ones. From the additional new stuff from Spec II mod, which ever comes back to game where play. I like my favorite Randomizer and Spec II mod. This coming soon that makes me so happy!
So beautiful, if only someone could patch the sound and the GT3 chase cam to the OG DVD I wil be happy for ever and ever, I still play it on my PS2 on a CRT and locks amazing but with that improvements will be the best game ever
Unlikely. The vanilla game uses a 2 layer disc and has zero unused data left over. Spec II adds quite a lot to it, which is why the online beta version of the game is used instead as it has half the data and comes on a single layer disc
I was certainly not expecting the F1 GTR to have the RPM correct on the sound. Most people who mod it normally do it too low for chase cam because they don't know Doppler Effect
One thing about the HUD. I thought it's not possible to import custom HUD elements as it would overlap with the original files of the HUD. How is this possible tho? EDIT: i noticed at 10:57 seems to be some pop-in of the new textures overlapping the old ones. Maybe the draw distance could be thrown up a noth or two?
@@James-cr8mtMaybe on the lowest settings in vulkan, but if you upscale it up to more than 720p and on top of that install texture packs then its different.
@@kingsman9659You really need a gpu. Any graphical enhancements even on the powerful ryzen just burns the igpu. An older CPU with just a low end modern gpu could perform better unless the CPU and/or GPU has more than 10 years old, lol.
@@sebastiankulche mate idk if you have looked it up, but the celeron 1007u is a 12year old SOLDERED laptop chip, 2/2 clocked at 1.5ghz ,the igpu doesnt even has DX12support, neither vulkan, also i dont got a dedicated gpu
@@RowdyGT good to know, but still I wouldn't have known that such a mod is being in development right now if not your channel, so thanks anyways, i'm already hyped :D
Anxiously waiting on this. I've put way more time GT4 on PCSX2 than I did on the OG PS2, it's just an infinitely better experience that does the game so much more justice, especially with a wheel. I wonder if attempts to dig into the physics will be made, as I've had complaints about the differential physics from day one that I'd love to see improved.
THAT WAS ABSOULTELY PERFECT TIMING IN GRAN TURISMO 4 SPEC II! YOU GOT THE NEW TEXTURES AND REMASTERED! I HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING THIS BUT YOU ARE NOW GOOD GAME! THIS GT4 SPEC II IS COMING SOON THIS SUMMER!
What always baffles me... people asking for a Hood/bonnet cam since ages. Meanwhile PD places their cameras randomly on the roof and sometimes on the hood. While modders easily add a hood and roof camera.... Whats so hard for a Developer to do the same???
Can't wait to play the spec II mod on my real PS2. The engine sounds are amazing! Do you know if the excessive steering damping is fixed in Spec II? It can be fixed in an emulator by telling it your controller is actually a wheel, but can this be done for controllers on a real console in the Spec II mod?
Amazing, but the only think that I don't like is the "interior" camera. The empty interior (in my opinion) makes a little uglier something that the modders improved with the textures. The bonnet cam for me it's enough if you don't have interiors applied at least with the quality of Toca 3, for example.
Yeah I agree. Although the cockpit cameras do look nice on some of the cars that have modeled interiors like the Cobra. I would prefer it being limited to those cars only
The dirt tracks look like they have far more realistic handling than those in GT 7. Wish I could play this game with my Simucube 2 Pro and it have all the telemetry data for an immersive experience.
I just hope the texture "remasters" aren't all sucky AI upscaling. It works alright for "organic" things, but any vehicle livery will look terrible. I'm also waiting for a hood cam mod instead of bumper cam.
Textures aren't part of my mod, that's a separate emulator-level mod that you can enable or disable as you please The camera mod also adds a proper bonnet camera to every car
I just wish the full transmission sounds were removed completely. You know, that high-pitched sound. The tire screeching could have been changed too. Still this is amazing!
Back when I used a 1080p monitor I still noticed a difference between running at 1080p vs 2160p internal resolution. If your GPU can handle it, run internal res as high as possible regardless of display resolution
Im not the only one that likes the far end stiff camera took from the replays... Right? I use it with the PCSX Patches always, the GT3 Camera just causes me nausea
GT4's iteration of the engine likely started as soon as GT3 came out, with Prologue and First Preview marking the first available builds we can play that have the more modern scripting-based setup and UI system. It's insanely in-depth for flexible for a 2004 game for sure

Does this support newer racing wheels?
it looks so beautiful, this video feels like a reward for fixing my own ps2
How do you get this on ps2 ? Do you need a specific console or mods?

Have you never heard a McLaren F1...?
7:42 - I'm glad we now have an official 'bonk' sound for collisions 👀
i like how the watermark is perfectly in the hud, nice little touch
The crazy thing is that in some ways this looks better than GT5 & GT6 because those games had this overly bloomy and blown out lighting, IMO.

man this will be a life changing experience. Excellent content as always, Rowdy. Cheers from Argentina
7:43 Bonk
*Goes to horny jail*
i miscalculated, sorry
AI Get Penalty 🥴
Kinda wish Gran Turismo 3 got this kind of love too. I know GT4 is the better game, but hybrid modding is so much better in GT3.
I’m currently playing 3 and boy does it bring back memories for me at just 3 years old I was actually playing this. Then of course the fantastic GT4.

it is possible to edit textures in this game. So perhaps that is a thing for the future.
Texture mods aren't possible for cars, so it's probably best to leave people to do that with emulator texture mods
Can't wait to see if GT4 supports Normalmapping textures
Still better than Forza Motorsport in 2024! 😂
You know, I was tempted to make the title “This PS2 game looks BETTER than Forza Motorsport” lol
@@RowdyGT - I wouldn't have blamed ya... You'd not have been wrong either! 😂

I thought of an even spicier title:
"This PS2 game looks BETTER than EVERY FORZA GAME COMBINED!!"
Or.
"STOP PLAYING FORZA AND PLAY THIS INSTEAD!!"
the paris night atmosphere will be always something of special,with the bentley is even better
Love this! Even this game had working mudflaps on the rally cars in previous games but gt7 doesn't. Strange. Keep up the great work
I don't understand anything, but I want to play this game that I played in my childhood, I'm Brazilian and I love this game
If you could leave the link to the game with all these mods I will be infinitely grateful to you❤

You need GT3 Camera and Right Stick look mod too!
Those don’t have codes yet for my Spec II demo build, and I play with a wheel anyway
This is practically GTHD now .
my only bucket list for GT4R is for it to have the Sauber C9 to have more realistic sound rn lol.
P.S. speaking of Bentley Speed 8, i think it has Flatplane V8 (like the Woodone TOM'S Supra in the clip) rather than Inline 6/V6 which is demonstrated by the sound of the clip.
The Sauber does have a new realistic sound 👀
I'll showcase it at some point
Looks amazing and sounds are better! 🤩 But what about that sound of tires? Still horrible. 🥴
Looks and sounds modern as fuck.
Has anyone brought up the idea to add the PSP cars in GT4 since GT PSP was built off GT4 I’m assuming? It would be a cool mod and it would add some more cars into the game
Sony...are you listening? I want to be playing this on my shiny new PS5 pro this year. Thanks
its very nice but the sound of the GT4 cars omg, like vaccum cleaner
Se ve mejor que el GT7
Would these mods work on mac??? sorry if this a dumb question
Modders doing God's work
its been years and they still havent added Moza support to pcsx2 nightly :/ just 1.6 works with it

Bom dia meu amigo eu venho aqui nessa quarta-feira para deixar o LIKE no seu Vídeo...
this looks like a remastered version that would be released on PS3 or maybe even PS4
oh hell yeah!!
Fantastic.
when is it available ?
Imagine u play this mod on a PS2 😮
How well will this work on a rog ally or the legion go? I’d buy a legion go just for this if I knew it would work
The aim is for it to work on a real PS2, so basically if you can emulate normal GT4 then you can also emulate the mod
The texture packs add a bit of overhead but those are an emulator mod rather than a game mod, so your mileage may vary
