What Made Gran Turismo 4 One Hell of A Game?

- Sony's single longest running franchise at this point (particularly in the wake of the untimely demise of Wipeout) is Gran Turismo. Polyphony Digital's series of superlative racing sims popularized and pioneered the genre, and achieved record high sales around the world. For years, Gran Turismo games were considered to be the peak of the genre, and the ultimate representation of motorsport and the machines that make it possible, in video games.
Every game was a painstakingly and laboriously crafted love letter to automobiles, with a stunning degree of authenticity and attention to detail that was, frankly, absurd (in the best ways possible). The original Gran Turismo set the stage for this, and then its sequels continued to up the ante, becoming bigger and better, and somehow in the process, still more detailed and authentic. - Hry

I couldn't believe the Graphics of GT3 and GT4 were better than the opening of GT2! Was mind blowing back in the day.
I thought the Opening to GT2 was soooooo Awesome, popping that game in Christmas morning 1999!!!!!
Omg the nostalgia!
Loooosing my favorite gameeeee
@@shanechopko5523 That song was in GT2!
Awesome intro
@@turismofoegaming8806 exactly why I commented it! Born in 99 and that game was all I played for a while as my only game til 4 came out and I got a PS2
@@shanechopko5523 I have a really special memory where GT2 is concerned!
Just two days before Christmas every store everywhere was sold out of that game!??
It wasn’t until my grandmother had picked me up and took me to the local mall, where an import export Japanese video game store called Gamerare had just 3 Copies left & I got one of them and then Got to finally play Christmas Morning 1999!!!
Played that game for days until I had enough credits to buy the Saleen SR Widebody
I really don't think Gran Turismo ever lost it's crown. Even when it wasn't at its best it was still better than the competition. GT Sport sold 9.5mil, is the best looking racing game of it's generation and was so good it became the first ever esport at the Olympics. And it wasn't even the best in the series.
Couldn't agree more. I'm currently revisiting GT 5 on PS3 and I gotta say, I'm having a blast with it. I've been a GT fan since the beginning and this might just be my favorite. Great with the G29 wheel too.
I'm still kinda disappointed Polyphony didn't throw their hat in the ring and make GT Sport an actual sim (it being a spin-off basically)
As someone who’s grown up with Forza I was just waiting for the video’s speaker to say FM7 took the crown from GTS. I can’t believe how much praise FM7 got while GTS was shunned by comparison. It’s the most polished racing game of the entire 8th generation.

Try going for the platinum!!!
You ain’t getting it unless you’re playing GT5 w a Decent FFB wheel-
GT5 was AMAZING Imho & So was GT6(despite the fact that they pushed the resolution in GT6 therefore making the game have more slow down where as GT 5 ran flawlessly)
@@TheJakeMG Forza motorsport doesn’t even compare to Gran Turismo in terms of anything except for the graphic and the sound..
Forza can’t never get the realism of how a car can pivot between going left and then immediately switching and going right on a race track, Correctly?
And they always have this floaty filling in the front end of the car that will cause you to slide sideways and then re-gaining traction it’s just it it’s…. It’s just garbage-
Can be a fun game but nowhere near on the level of Gran Turismo-
You look at how good GT4 looks with the emulation capabilities of today, and it's insane to thing that game came out 18 years ago.
Progressive scan is mentioned, but GT4 could also run at 1080i on the PS2!
Only 6 games were able to run on 1080p on the ps2. Crazy times
This game is a masterpiece.
It was the last GT game where you could cheat. Using an Action Replay to bypass the license tests and give you almost limitless money was a must. I had so many memory cards for this game. One for road cars, one for race cars and several for storing replays. The music was awesome too and you got to choose which track you could drive to. Happy days!
Well that's hilarious hahah. I forgot about action replays and GameShark lol. I remember just grinding the same 2 races to sell the car prize of it lol
I don’t understand anybody that would cheat in a game like Gran Turismo??
It’s a racing game with physics that are close enough to real life representation that you can do exactly that which you know how to do in real life in the game and win all the races and gold all the license test!
No cheating necessary, Just pure fun
@@turismofoegaming8806 If you could race and win, but weren't precise enough to pass the license tests, the only option was to cheat. It took nothing away from the game and you could play it how you wanted.
No other sim had licenses and they were the better for it. I suspect that you can now download saves where the tests are all completed.
@@rogerbowen5753
I just love the challenge of some of those test.. like every GT game all the way up to GT5, had that handful of tests that were so damn difficult the only way you were getting gold was to do it “bat out of hell perfect!” It was pt of the fun, learning how to Gold some of those where The gold time did not seem possible!? I imagine it was like what dark souls players get after beating a strong boss in that game? The sense of reward was great!
The AI in Gran Turismo games(unless you were doing some of the time trials that actually had a physical human person set the time for you to race against in development) were ALWAYS waaay to Easy.. The License test Taught you how to Race Better! You actually took your time, and learned how to gold all the test specially the difficult ones, wouldn’t none of your friends beat you that weekend or ever again for that matter!!
Cheers mate I meant no disrespect sorry if my comment came off that way!?
@@turismofoegaming8806 No worries. You could do it that way if you wanted to, the Action Replay meant you didn't have to if that was your thing.
Haven't played a G.T. game in years. What a flash back.
I have recently been playing Gran Turismo 4 on emulation and I have to say that even in 2022 it’s still is one of the best racing games of all time.
I would say it’s a fair assessment of the series that it’s the peak of the series. What disappointed me about 5 was the high percentage of cars that used their model from GT4 and GT PSP.
This game taught me how to drive.
More than 700 cars from all eras , incredible graphics, City tracks ! , snow and dirt races , best soundtrack , best menu music , that game is legendary
GT4 is indeed the peak of the series. After 18 years it still looks great even on PS2. The best thing is that even though you´ve completed the game multiple times, there are still many other ways to complete certain championships, races etc. Plus the longevity is timeless.
I still can't believe how good this game looks today
I remember doing the 24 hour race! Thank you hired drivers! 😂🤣
This would be the one to remake if they ever would.
Oh yes!
A remaster would be even better imo
I'm truly excited for 7. Haven't bought a racing game day one in awhile but 7 will change that.
its like gt sport, i was hoping more
i hope you like online-only experiences.
More like this, about other series would be much appreciated. Great work!
Great video and i played this awhile ago on my Fat PS3 and it was ahead of its time, still holds up well 2021-2022, Great game and i hope GT7 re captures the GT4 feels and style etc. Also me being from Australia had Holdens and FPV etc :)
Channel with 1.12 million subscribers needs to take footage from other channels without permission. Pretty low
yep
Wow, did they really do that? You should report them! I always notice in your video descriptions that taking them without permission would be subject to copyright takedown. Quite crazy how their quality is pretty meh considering the number of subscribers they have. I'll be sure to avoid their content at all times.
@@greenshell4082 the fact is rowdy cant since youtube's copyright system is really broken :/
Wow this is terrible I hope he owns GT4 and got permission from Sony
Personally I liked GT3 better, but I still loved 4.
3 was kind of disappointing that it was "A-Spec", so most "normal" cars were excluded. I actually have more fun in Datsun 510s, Camaros, and Honda Civics than I do in super cars.
Hilarious cause I liked 1 2 and 4 couldn't stand 3
The series hasn't been very good in my opinion since GT4 but hopefully GT7 will be better than GT sport and I know it'll never happen but I'd love a GT 4 remaster
Well, it's worse, much worse
I've never really tried any of the G.T. games before, but I might want to give it a try.
To anyone reading this comment, do you have any recommendations of "the best" G.T. game to try out? Either old or modern games.
the one in the video, but I had so much fun in gt6, even gt sport, after all the att, there are many races, is really funny and drive good
I loved all of them, although I admit GT sport was the most fun to race online with a FFB Wheel..
Gran Turismo 1 & 2 on the Ps1 are very fun to go back and check out just how far the Physics came from GT to GT2 & so on!!
GT4 and 6 are top notch. I haven’t tried much of the PS1 games yet though.
Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec was a Revolutionary game at the time of its Release!! It is also the Game that is
1. The Most Easy to get into
2. Just an Overall Great GT Game!!
GT4 took it a bit further with physics and therefore some of the Tracks have sections that are More technical than they previously were in GT3!
(in other words and example of this is like Midfield Raceway no longer could you go wide open through the S turns that you could go wide open through and GT3.. in Grand Valley Speedway, the same thing for the light S turn Bends, prior to the second hairpin on that Track..
I also believe Gran Turismo has the absolute best Fictional tracks out of any racing game ever-
Grand Valley Speedway was always my Favorite followed by Trial Mountain, Deep Forest, Midfield Raceway, Red Rock Valley(GT2 Only), Seattle Circuit, Tahiti Maze, Tahiti Road, the list goes on!! So many Great tracks and it wasn’t until GT2 , that they added Real world Tracks! Big Selling point for GT2 in 1999 and man, That game Sold out Everywhere that had it!!
Gran Turismo1-4 are all so much fun!! I loved Gt5 & GT6 also! GT5 was pretty Difficult to GOLD EVERYTHING & Platinum The Game.. GT6 was slightly better, but a Cakewalk in terms of The license test difficulties(they were all easy.. too easy for the hard-core GT fan-)
You pretty much can’t go wrong with any Gran Turismo game although I will say the first one was the most arcade like but it was also very very very fun!!
Gt 4 or Sport. The PS3 GT games weren't the best because they weren't 60FPS and the car models had high quality models that were rebuilt for the PS3 but it also used many low quality models from GT4. It was weird to see high quality and low quality models together.
The PS1 games were 30fps and are messing many of the features of the newer games. Sony also replaced all the original music with licensed music in the European and American editions for the PS1 games.
just got to play gt4 for the first time in 11 years. i feel so back at home again.❤️
I think it would be cool with a gt4 remaster
My favorite car list is GT4 for sure
My favorite racing game! Still play it on my PS2.
gt4 needs to be remastered!
i would love that
The question is , will it ever be available in ps plus premium ?
Great video, but the audio quality of the voice recording is distracting.
One of the greatest games of all time. 💯
Games back then were really ambitious. I hope GT7 or GT8 can give us that experience again!
Recently got a Rad2X HDMI converter for my PS2, and picked this game up again. Still holds the hell up
GT4 + GTsport = GT 7 🤞
gt4 and other gt
This Game is one of the Masterpiece Racing Games in the World 👏👏👏
So that's why I Love this Game. Until Now 2022 Still Playing this Game 👍
Have to disagree with the engine sounds. There were several great sounding cars but a lot of them sounded like vacuumes. Nonetheless an easy S tier game. So ahead of its time.
5:41 "and a racing game only has that kind of appeal as being as good as the game as part of anything else if not more"
I honestly don't know what you meant to say, but I thought I'd point this out.
Also, I'd probably redo the voice over in this video. Slurred words and bad audio quality.
Probably my favorite game of all time! Love it so much! 😊👍
despite the gt7 launch, gt4 still the absolute king
i have such a soft spot for this game. i remember trying to beat my lap times and keeping note of them on paper
Best racing game ever made. Polyphony never struggled with HD? GT4 was playable in HD at 1080i, it was way ahead of its time.
I remember having a go of Forza 3 on the Xbox 360, first time I’d seen 1080p graphics but the car models in GT4 were superior as was the photo mode, Forza photo mode was dog shit in comparison.
GT4 was a revelation, the most playable, the most beautiful, the most realistic racing game ever made at that point and with the most massive content ever conceived in a racing game, incredible !!!
This thing is coming to my house now. It will be my reward after getting a booster shot even though I haven’t been sick since you know what even started. I waited over a week for this to arrive. God I can’t wait
Would love a remake of this game for modern systems
CLASSIC
"The game´s engine sounds were great"
meanwhile gt4 cars: *vacuum cleaner sounds*
or jet sounds
Just started a new save file, best game ever
Gt4 was the goat of racing games, now it will be Gt7!
😌
1:56 NIGHTDRIVE YO
Gta4 will always be my favourite out of all the gta games I just got gta7 and I don't want to play it because I don't want to be disappointed like I was in gta5 and gta6 🥺😢
gt4 was the best of the rest and as much as i am looking forward to gt7, i think it wont match this for playabilty. I hope im wrong
what's up with this guy's reading level?
Sony should bring back Wipeout for the PS5.
I started with GT 2, never played any other GT game, and I'll never touch GT7, so I'll play GT4 on my phone with AetherSX2!
The true GOAT of the GT series🔥
I hope GT7 doesn’t poorly attempt to emulate this game.
The numbers, the graphics, the details, GT4 was an absolute masterpiece
it didnt emulate 4 at all, its just a gt sport update lol
@@lemonstrangler I know man it sucked so much. I’ve loved the Gran Turismo series all my life but just couldn’t be bothered buying Sport 2.0
@@hughthompson4846 actually you know what gt7 is pretty good, it feels different to gt sport. with regular updates we will see more tracks and cars
GT4 had some great features but as somebody who played the hell out of GT3 - the drifting physics were totally inaccurate in GT4 - for example if you light up the throttle and the rear wheels are spinning somehow the car(s) no matter which one found some magic rear end grip while spinning and made you understeer kind of post apex - it was really lame.... for this reason i really disliked GT4.
I gotta say, I am worried that GT7 is going to be boring....just the best sim ever but fun to play.....maybe for most...no. But it will definitely be a looker.
Their recent games have been disappointing. I am expecting it to be fairly shallow with online added for longevity.
I'm just hoping GT7 will have a good amount of events
This format is kind a boring, it seems bit uninspired and uninterested. It would be better if you did ' Top XX unique things about Game XX ' It would bring more structure and simplicity.
This wasn't really a review....this was you just saying it's a good game over and over for about 8 minutes🙁 without really even talking about the game. No Pro's and cons, just you saying "It's a great game".
What's with the videos voice over tho
Ohh yea.... OOH YEAHH....... oh Yeah
Nice
Screeching & sliding tires in all turns ...
??
This game could easily pass for a PS4 title
shut up lol
Holy crap this guy slurs his words so bad. Next time get someone who is sober.
GT4 was the best one ever and the most comprehensive GT game of its time. GT7 looks like it will be the long awaited modern day equivalent of 4.
its not equivalent of 4 sadly, its more like a gt sport update
Gt7 is insane its just u aint 12 years old anymore
"Daily Original content" while stealing footage from other channels without even asking, comedic.
Edit: "Polyphony Dilgital" BRUH
Voiceover guy sounds drunk.
He's struggling to read the script, and the words were too big to sound ostentatious.
If you turn the playback speed to 1.5 it sounds normal lmao
Gt4 with enthusia physics please, thank you.
Gt3 looked alot better. Honestly it was better. They cut and copied alot of gt3 and put it into 4. They were both better than 7 is now.
Gran Turismo 7 reminds me of 4 which is not a bad thing but now what I would like to see is Gran Turismo in VR mode that would be the ultimate game have a VR a steering wheel gear shift that would be the ultimate Gran Turismo ever as long as it kept the graphics the way they are it would be awesome
gran turismo 7 is nothing like 4 . more like gt sport. 4 has a different feel to it and more tracks and cars
Game made me ace my driving test, goated.
One Hell of A Game?
well it my be B - spec as car on this game and tires was sliding of the road
thanks to 2 things in this game ((sport tires)( second hand car)) so i never add oil to a new car as it soften the car steering ( i press left and car wants throw it self in to the wall
even more so using the analog (new cars no oil added sit stable on the road and do not sliding if you press left 0.05 seconds
as role all my car get wings but it still do not do much to help second hand car
o do not get me started on gt4 driving missions worsted idea in history
thank you
my thoughts, you sound a bit drunk :)
Try listening to the video at 1.5, crazy how much better he sounds
Well to me GT5 is better and GT7 managed to recapture that essence
🤣 Sure buddy. After GT4 everything went downhill. Gt 5 has way less content and gt7 even has less content then gt5 the carrier mode is a joke in both games and gt7 the microtransaction Desaster.
@@tomgu2285 are you saying SRT's subjective opinion is wrong lmao?
I personally think GT 3 to be the zenith of Gran Turismo games. 5 was awful. I loved 6 but the pre race loading times were ridiculous. I'm a Forza Horizon boy now.
GT5 & GT6(as they were pretty much the same identical engine) were amazing games especially if you had a force feedback racing wheel-
Forza 5 has one of the worst car physics I've seen in a game. Its beautiful and fun yes but also very unrealistic and fake 👍
@Ray Romano
I would never go so far as to call FM5 fun, as it is so unrealistic it just kills any fun factor from expectations that a player that might would anticipate it as being realistic would have prior to playing!!
Like racing on a freaking oil slick on a ice sheet covered Antarctic highway!?!?!?
Complete Garbage-
@@turismofoegaming8806 If you anticipate a simcade game to be realistic, you're delusional.
@@ZeppelinNL All I’m saying is I grew up racing Gran Turismo felt very natural-
I’ve played other games that are more realistic also and liked them as well-
Not delusional 36 been driving since age3-
@@ZeppelinNL well I thought you were responding to a different comment…?
What I meant by the comment you are responding to is that Forza motorsport five was more garbage than the games that came before it-
FM3 was the closest representation to being able to race in the game had you done so in real life-
FM5:
Doesn’t matter how much you’ve raised or driven in your life it sucks either way
redo the voice over on this video…could this person be anymore monotone, completely pulled me out of the video to the point I couldn’t even stay with it
How do you have a million subscribers and audio this badly recorded? I'm an audio engineer, DM me
Engine sounds great? lmfao....no.
