Gran Turismo's Official Flash Game | Piece of Shift
Vložit

- 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.
I mean, they were some cars with nice engine sounds. But only a few yeah xD
Surprisingly distinct sounding vacuum cleaners at least. You'd have to have played those PS3 games to understand.
Are the engine notes in GT Skills taken from GT PSP? If so, it is the worst minigame ever made
Still sounds bad.
@@tarekben5524
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.
most of these fit GT really well with their motif of car appreciation
Rina Tennoji also ever revealed the red SLR McLaren in Japan.
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.
3:06 KOJIMA MENTIONED
Hideo Kojima?
to whom mentioned
@@DamarFadlan25If you don’t know who that is, your game knowledge can be considered pretty poor…
Quick 7 months, welcome back! Honestly love how you focus on the way more obscure side of the racing game genre, I hope you find more as these videos genuinely interest me in a fascinating way. I loved GTPSP and loved GT5, so this hits home nicely.
just came home after a really bad day and the title made me burst out in laughs while i was crying, thanks ❤
Great vid! I thought I already knew everything there is to know about GT but I had no idea such a obscure flash game existed! This kind of long forgotten promotional tie ins are super fascinating to me
HOLY CRAP I REMEMBER THIS!
I used to play this all the time and I totally forgot about it
It's still such a shame GT PSP started as a port of GT4 and then they decided to do literally anything else
The PSP probably wasn’t able to do it so they had to change plans
@@morsecode980that wasn’t really the issue. The only major hardware constraint was no. Of ai on track.
But most likely the reason for portable being the way it is, is they wanted it to be a ‘companion’ game. An issue a lot of portable ports have is the original game may not work well in the setting of portable gaming. Takes too much time, for when you just want something quick to play.
But doesn’t make sense for GT since it basically was that already. All they had to do was not include any long races or really large tracks.
You're a legend for included captions!
This reminds me of Big Brain Academy on the DS, some of the minigames even seem super similar to ones in that game
Holy cow this dug deep into my memories... I barely remember playing this when I was around 5 years old. Thanks for the nostalgia!
please keep the content up, your videos have a great production quality! if you keep it up im sure your channel is going to explode!
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!
pls make more of these im concerningly obsessed with niche racing game trivia
Extra points for using Asphalt Urban GT OST, so underrated. Keep up the great work!
I've been a fan of GT my whole life (and the PSP game is one of my most played), but I've never heard of this before. Really good job with the research and video!
Just found your channel through this video. I love it!
Wow , such a video honestly.
I really hope down the line you touch on the PGR series as that is an absolute favorite of mine.
Surprise I'll hear Real Racing 2 music being used in a video one day
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!
am i the only one who liked the menu theme of rr2 hd better?
@@earthboiproductions2407And sadly EA cancelled Real Racing Next to continue milking the outdated Real Racing 3.
@Victor_2000s the fact that they're still milking a game I remember playing nearly a decade ago in high school is fucked
even more surprised that I hear a music from Mother 3, very underrated game but banger music.
Great video, can't wait to see more of these.
Crazy to see a CZcams video being more comprehensive about the subject than the Gran Turismo wiki. Great work on such a niche topic!
Never knew this existed even till I saw this vid, seems preety interesting 👍
came for the interesting topic, stayed for the Asphalt Urban GT music in the background
RR2 soundtrack in a video?
You've earned yourself a subscriber.
It's been so long since I've heard that theme... I'm glad its still remembered
@@kruegersix I've beaten the game a few times already.
Played it on a Windows phone.
@@granturismorobert8886 yoo i also played that in my moms windows phone lol
@@fidkjaadjk W
you should also talk about the possibly retro PC version of Gran Turismo game called The Real Car Simulator R: Nissan/Toyota Edition
good video overall but i think slowing down your talking could make the video flow more naturally
Oh my god... I remember this game! I used to play it with no sound at all because my PC had no sound device connected to it and even then I had a blast...
I thought the hand holding the minigames and letting them go was a memory I made up in my mind, I knew I had seen that before and even played it. You've unlocked a core memory I had but didn't recognize, thanks for this video!
it's kinda cool like a trainer rather than a racing game, with how it tests your reaction speed and memory and stuff
this video is awesome but i hate my parents
What
Your parents gave you birth
@@prla5400 It's a reference to a Miiverse post.
Sigma
I give this a "Yeah!"
great vid man, love the racing game shit!
If you have either an unlocked PSP or an emulator, you can also get the SP models for downloading that mega mod thingy whose link is available on its trailer video. No need to reset the save file for what i've experienced
3:04 IWATA AND KOJIMA?!?!
I find humor in the choice of the Real Racing 2 menu theme in the background lol, good choice
Gran Turismo Skills is a very rare game to be found nowadays.
This actually seems rather inspired. Especially the driving line and shift timing challenges.
0:33 MODNATION RACERS MENTIONED
This looks good and fun good job
AYO IS THAT RR2 MUSIC?? YYEEEEAAAAA
I wish I would've been able to play this.
Is that Real Racing 2 music in the beginning?
Yup!
I wonder if FlashPoint has this...
IT DOES!!!!!
Had no idea this existed
I remember this!
Completely forgot about this until you mentioned about it. Played it over and over until l could get the car. But it was one of those once you completed it, you arnt going back to that site
5:21 What are these two flash games called?
Super Drift 3D and Redline Rumble 4
(P.S.: Would you mind uploading those video trailers you mention at 3:52?)
They're on the PlayStation CZcams channel in higher quality here czcams.com/video/jgMqu20t4pQ/video.html and here czcams.com/video/LlyKFc58Jps/video.html
Great video on hidden gem
I Remember GT Skills!
Can you or anyone find the initial D flash game. It came out when the live action film came out. It was playable on the movies official website called drift king or something. Ive never been able to find it since.
I found what you're talking about but I don't think it goes past the loading screen web.archive.org/web/20061103160122/www.initialdthemovie.com/game/
Great find thanks for looking. Shame it just hangs on the loading screen. It was a very basic game but I remember the sounds of the cars being pretty good and possibly recorded directly from the movie.
Guys, i still play gran turismo psp, what new game can i use to change from the psp to android?
Are you talking about transferring save data? It can't be transferred directly but you can transfer cars over an ad hoc connection between a modded PSP and an emulator
Also is it possible to get theses DLC cars in some alternative way or only with cheats now?
Installing them on emulator is pretty easy now.
I think you can redownload them if you already had them on your PSN account, otherwise you can use the DLC files on an emulator or a modded PSP
Interesting! I was not aware of that game at all! Btw I'm working on a 100% free browser-based racing simulator as well and I'd be very happy if you guys check it out later.
Could someone tell me the name of the game shown with ferrari in 5:20? I've been looking for it for some time now as i played that a lot long ago.
If i’m not mistaken It’s Super Drift 3D
@@oxymoronic-ephiphaniesdo you by chance know the 2nd game?
@@EngiNetion found it it’s “Redline Rumble 4”. i remember playing it but forgot it’s name so there you go.
@@oxymoronic-ephiphanies thanks a lot! despite growing up with flash games it's my first time seeing that one
Real racing 2 theme 💀 real og
wtf is the reaction test minigame supposed to be? electron shell simulation?
holding myself back from making THAT joke
5:20 What was this game called?
Super Drift 3D
3:06 nintendo in GT????
Wait since when did you start hitting it big :0
The video I uploaded before this one got picked up by the algorithm, and I guess a similar thing happened with this one too lol
Good that gt didnt make an actual racing flash game. Even they know it is futile to usurp the perfection that is pyongyang racer.
interesting
Great Research!
God bless, Jesus loves you!
Lol dope
meow
GT7 is so overrated that Gran Turismo skills looks like NFS Shift 2
