Thoughts? Memories? Favourite cars/ tracks?
Used to play the shit out of those games with my brother when we were kids. Once, I tuned our Mitsubishi Galant with something I didn't like, didn't know how to reverse the changes so I deleted the whole save file. Brother almost killed me when he found out.
What I miss from the first game is the awesome rock/electronic music. Also the fact that every car dealer had its own music in the background, that was nice.
>>2810994
GT 2 is my favorite PS1 game even if the US soundtrack is outdated imo and not really my style. The effort and graphics still blow me away.
I had the demo first, and I used to try to flip my car over as hard a possible and also try to damage the car. It kind of pissed me off that it wouldnt let you do that.
endurance runs were great fun a and time killers. The rewards were super nice for getting first place. Thats what I remember most. spending an hour doing endurance shit.
Mitsubishi GT
Gotta love me some Carpokemon 2. I bought it again last year to try to recover my car collection cuz the memcard lost it cuz I hadn't play it for years.
The one thing I remember the most is doing the 80's race where you get a souped up 80's Skyline with a resale value of 150,000 CR and then selling it to buy cooler cars.
My favourite retro racing game, undisputed. I can't even talk about memories because I never stopped playing it since I first got more than 12 years ago. The GT300 Amemiya RX7 and Midfield "totally-not-Suzuka-for-beginners" Raceway are my choices. I'm actually having a very good time playing it again now I got my first steering wheel and using the negCon plugin with the emulators, I'm basically relearning how to play and getting amazed with tracks I never got good at first
aside from GT4, I don't think I have ever put more time into a game as much as I did with GT2 back in the day.
5 was ok because of shuffle races, 6 was fucking awful
I remember as a teen in GT1, I had every Gold medal except for the longest race, the one that's 4 hours long. Tried that race, was first place the entire time, I even had a lap over the last cars.
Last lap, couple of hundred of meters left, a car overtook me and I end up 2nd place.
Stared at the screen for a whole minute, put down the pad, turned off the console, went outside, and never touched GT1 again in at least 5 years.
>>2811024
GOT SERVED
>>2810997
True. However, somehow I always felt that driving in the the first game was more dynamic. And as for GT2, while its soundtrack was generally inferior, the intro is still my favourite of all racing games:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm3cdmIDl7I
>>2810994
>GT1
>Where car engines sound like whistles
>Real driving simulator at its finest
>>2811039
I THINK IM PARANOID
Gran Turismo 2, favorite car was the Daishin Silvia. I forget what event you win it in, but it's a great fucking car for the events you can use it in. Handles extremely well.
Favorite song from GT1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGdDaH4wtxY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUQ8e9gbmIw
I can listen to this for hours on end and probably one of the reason GT 2 is my favorite GT and PS1 of all time. So simple yet deeper than it seems.
>>2811106
Jazzy!
Music in Gran Turismo has always been classy. Yesterday I heard Chopin in GT6. So cool.
>>2811078
You are cheating. It's got rally car handling and traction and race car acceleration and speed. There's no downside to it.
>>2811041
>I saw a few videos of youtubers using fucked up hybrids car and think the game is like that the whole time
Shelby Cobra Daytona and the JGTC Skylines want to have a talk with you
It's amazing how well these two games aged. Graphics still looks good and considering the amount of data in it it's impressive, the physics are still really good especially with a Dual Shock. Really a timeless classic.
>>2811161
>hurr durr these 2 cars doesn't do that!
Nigger I played this shit in my childhood and there were plenty of cars that did this, I know for sure Mitsubishi GTO LM Edition had this (one of the fastest mitsubishi cars) because that was always my first expensive buy.
Amazing games for the time, later GTs and Forza improved on it but I probably played GT1 the most.
>starting new game
>slowly work my way through all licences
>buy 2nd hand Toyota Supra
>keep racing again and again until it's fully modded

Great days, might start another career for old times' sake
>>2811179
Because of the 7 # instead of 6 # I always thought it was the fastest car ever, even if it had that little shitty whistle sound.
>>2811152
Not my fault Polyphony Digital can't develop for shit, they should have put it at 5-10 million or something instead of 2 like other cars that were not in escudo's tier
>>2811024
kek
GT has always been a car collector simulator rather than a racing game. I imagine the older ones were fun but I know GT4 (not retro) was shit aside from buying cars.
>>2811182
i always started with the supra when i played 2
i love the menu music in that game by the way
My GT2 cars were:
2nd hand Toyota Celina > Venturi Atlantique 400 GT > Suzuki Escudo
After Escudo I never looked back (Got cars I liked like Toyota GT one, my carfu)
>>2811338
BTW I never knew how to get "flames" on the Toyota GT one, since you couldn't paint it or anything, was it an unlockable car or something? If so, which course?
>>2811039
I kind of agree on both accounts. GT1 felt a bit more challenging to drive and rewarding when you master driving that car.
Figuring out how to drift the Corvette in arcade mode for starters, is very fun as fuck.
GT2, while not feeling the same as GT1, had a way better car roster and a lot of shit to do. It also had my favorite Le Mans cars (namely the R390 '98 and the Toyota GT-One, which I'm still pissed that they lost to the fucking BMWs).
I like both soundtracks though. Notably, I love the crap out of GT2's soundtrack. Just because of MOVE ASIDE AND LET THE MANGO FLEW
>>2811024
It can't be worse as
>3 hour endurance race, around half-way in
>Pause and take a leak and get some chips
>Get back to your game
>Accidentally hit down and X, exiting your race
Man, fuck that shit.
>>2811962
IIRC the GT-One with flames is a reward for clearing the Super License test in all Gold.
I could not perfectly do it as a kid.
>3 hour endurance
>4 hour endurance
wtf are you talking about GT1 and 2? I haven't played any title newer than GT4 but there aren't any endurance longer than 2 hours in retro GT games, even the longest Laguna Seca, Grand Valley or Millenium in Rome endurances doesn't last more or much more than 2 hours, even if you're slow as fuck
>>2812216
Yeah, I don't remember a 4 hour endurance either.
Think these guys are lying plebs.
>>2812216
I may have bad memories of the Laguna Seca run I fucked up by exiting by accident. I do think it's 2 hours instead of 3 (the extra hour was because I had exited an hour and 20 minutes or so in).
I'm still asspained about it after all these years.
>>2811008
> negcon
I have one of these. Haven't used it in a decade. Do they work ok with emulators? Worth keeping?
>>2812231
Not sure if they will work flawlessly in emulators but at least Windows will recognize them, as I already saw videos of people playing other racing sims using them
>>2812238
Neat, thanks. Taking it out of my "to sell" box.
>>2812245
Good luck, I really wish the negcon was an easier piece to find in my shithole country
>>2811039
No thanks, I'll take the original Japanese intro instead.

my all time favorite car in GT 2 and 3.
>keep engine stock

>tighten the gears so she redlines 6th at 187mph (and juuust kiss that speed before having to brake for turn 1 at Grandvalley)
>destroy everything the AI can throw at you
Grandvalley and Grindelwald were home turf for me. My buddy and I used to hammer away at Grindelwald, trying to get the line just right to take the kinks at the top of the track flat out. I managed to get my time down into the 1:04's , and I felt like the love child of Michael Schumacher and Jesus.
In all honesty, I never understood the love for the Escudo. it was an absolute missile in a straight line, but I could never get her to turn the way I wanted. I was always faster in the R390 or TS020 (except on Rome, because that track is pure horsepower.)
....Time to dust off the ol' PS1 and have some fun.
>>2812525
IM ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS
>>2812602
Even though the FAQ I kinda followed preferred the 97 over the 98, look-wise I fucking love the 98. Also, I kinda wished the S2000 GT1 was real. One of my favorite 500+HP race cars (it was in the 500 HP class right, along with the always favorite RX-7 GT1 and the FTO LM?)
Also, Red Rock Valley was great (along with High Speed Ring, both my favorite original tracks). Grindelwald looked cozy as fuck, I should say.
I think the Escudo was well-loved because it was a gamebreaker 4WD car, but personally I'd rather see people getting crazy gud with other cars like the GT1s we like or the Speed 12.
That also being said, the Escudo Pikes Peak is fun for glitching through tracks like GT World or Laguna Seca.
>>2812626
Meant Motorsports Land instead of GT World.
Also, fuck it. I'm getting me copies of GT2 and I'm gonna at least try to emulate them. Would be fun re-running all the license tests all over again. That and rare car hunting in the used lots.
>GT 1&2
>FOV and camera sway options
>GT3&4
>no FOV and camera sway options
Fucking WHY
Anyways I "speedrun" GT 1 licenses, but there's no credibility because there's no tech involved and no competition.
>>2811001
>I used to try to flip my car
I remember using some sort of Toyota Supra with racing shit all over it.
>>2811019
6 felt more like an expansion to round 5's potential out. The car roster no longer had a randomness factor to it, making it the definitive compilation of PS2, PSP and PS3 era cars and being able to buy any car at will. The track roster is top notch and the best GT has ever been. I don't expect anyone to like the following things, but this is the first time a GT platinum trophy and license golds were easy enough for me to complete.
>>2812501
This. They did at least pick great tracks for GT1, but Moon Over the Castle is GOATuntil GT5, holy shit that cover sucked
>>2812843
kek, thats exactly what I would do.
>>2811152
In gt4 thought it is a very car to handle on even wide corners.
>>2812890
That was actually a pain point with me in GT6: it was too easy and too short.
I had the plat trophy, and 100% game completion 30 days after release. 95% of tests I golded first try.
In comparison, it took me almost 2 years to finally plat GT5 (still my rarest, and proudest trophy). Some of 5's tests took me days to gold.
And dumping endurance races was inexcusable. Longest race is the 24 minutes of Le Mans, with accelerated fuel and tire consumption? Fuck off. Completely kills the strategy behind hard tires that can last 25-30 laps.
I do agree with the awesome selection of tracks and cars though. That was tits. Though I still miss the AE86 race car from 2...
>>2813684
"We don't trust our players to have the determination or attention span to handle endurance races, or any amount of difficulty"
To me what you describe is yet another facet of what I consider fundamentally wrong with modern gaming. Developers or publishers don't respect the player anymore. They don't trust the player is able, or willing, to actually learn a game, spend more than the basic minimum of time in it. They don't trust the player is actually able to learn, and can handle non-trivial challenges, has an interest in handling them.
So, no matter how "serious" or challenging the original game was, The present iterations are simplified, smoothed out feel good intermissions, until the next pack of DLC ...
>>2812204
Which version of the game did you have (US-TC, JP, PAL)? Because in the US Version I played, getting all golds on the Super License got you the 1999-Spec GT-ONE (Pic Related).
Also, goddamn I love GT2, especially when you could get good enough and had enough money to troll lower-end races races with souped-up shit-boxes & kei-cars.
Loved gt1, but gt2 didn't really have much improvement in my eyes. I also think the soundtrack was worse (I own the pal versions). But still, these games were revolutionary even with the no damage licensing issues.
>>2813708
As someone who loves Gran Turismo but can't gold anything other than GT6, can't drive manual and need ABS, I'm perfectly fine with endurance as long as they have a mid race save feature. They added it at some point but I can't remember which game. I know GT6 had championship post-race saving. As long as they have these QoL type features, I can handle endurance races for the most part.
Why didn't we get the GOAT Japanese version soundtrack?
I love GT 1 and 2
Are the PS2 titles any good compared to GT2?
>>2814339
I don't get why everyone praises the japanese soundtrack so much. I would listen to Stone Temple Pilots or Garbage any day instead of that generic ambient trash
>>2812602
Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's because I turned my ride height down to zero, but I've never had one bit of trouble with turning the Escudo.
>>2814326
GT5 added them in the 2.0 patch.
It's honestly the only reason I was able to A-Spec the 24h races.
>>2814340
3 is kinda barebones compared to 2, and only has a fraction of the cars, but you can carry over some stuff into 4 which has even more content than 2.
>>2814340
3 and 4 trade blows with each other whenever it's discussed which is the better game. One does something better than the other and so on. In a nutshell:
GT3 is a leap to show off the PS2, but they were able to include only so many cars and tracks due to all new assets. Good, but barebones.
GT4 got a bit try hard and turned the driving physics into boats and tanks pre-tuning. Graphics are photorealistic more or less, but took some of the vibrancy and excitement out. The content is absolutely huge though, but dealership is now randomly dependant on a calendar rotation which kind of sucks sometimes.
Play GT3 if you liked it when Gran Turismo was still simple. Play GT4 for content and car porn.
>>2814349
>Garbage

>>2814090
Most likely aPiratedcopy of the US version. My PS1 has been stolen sadly along with my disc collection (including a broken copy of GT1 a neighbor accidentally sat on, still pisses me off to this day). That and I'm probably remembering things wrong as well (upon doing further research, it's a random award at GT World League, and if I can recall my save I got it out of luck first try, unlike how I had to repeatedly fuck up the endurance races by accidentally exiting and got both the Evo VI and the Impreza several times on a retry before I got the Cerbera and the R390 97)
That out of the way, fuck yeah it was fun to shit all over lower end races. That and fucking over GT2's weird car restrictions (which allows you to go enter say, an Impreza rally car in the Muscle Car league).
Quick, /gt/! What was your go-to starter car?
>>2816428
Whatever I get from license tests.It actually annoys me that 5 and 6 force you to buy a car.
>>2816620
Had I been good enough as a kid I'd shoot for that too.
The easy answer is a cheapo Civic 3-Door SI, my personal answer is usually a Prelude or an RX-7 Infini-III.
In GT1 it was fun to stumble upon the Supra which you can tune the fuck out of. Handles pretty bad but holy fuck is it fast.
I think I had an Audi TT, which I upgraded into a touring car. You could not do that much after GT2. My tune was set for drag racing and I'd blow the AI away at the start and make sure nobody passed me. I think I spent too much time playing Gran Turismo. I don't find getting liscenses and playing slow cars fun anymore. I think when you keep buying the games its always a set back.
>>2812216
On GT1 the Nurburgring 24 Hour Endurance takes about 8 hours to complete.
Suzuka Long Course, 1000km takes about 5 hours.
And a few others take 2-4 hours.
>>2816897
Those tracks aren't even in GT1.
>>2816897
Those tracks first appeared in GT4 iirc, anon. And I don't even tried the endurance there, check it out again.
>>2816897
BAAAAIT
nobody talks about the older games on gtplanet anymore iirc and the moderation is far too strict
there used to be weekly threads with a set few cars and a certain track, and everyone would try get the best time
we could do this even better with webms now
who's up for it ?
>>2817362
I'm always in the mood for GT2. I got this shitty lap I've tried long ago, but I'm not that better than it. My best laps at Midfield were about 57 sec with the Escudo and 58~59 with the GT One.
>>2816428
Usually use the MA70 Toyota Supra Turbo (In Red, if possible) because it was my GT1 starter car, but on my most recent playthrough I used the Nissan Pulsar GTi-R.
>>2816897
That's GT4 brah. GT1 only has 3 endurance races: Grand Valley 300km & Special Stage Route 11 for full-on race cars, with SS R11 backwards for "Hard-Tuned" road cars.
>>2816428
Pic related. This or FC or EG6, they're pretty good starting cars. I never tried start a game with a kei car, Capcinno would be my choice
Always liked GT1 more over 2 due to better atmosphere, more balanced OST that doesnt have tunes that ruin the vibe and, well, nostalgia.
SWEET SIXTEEEEN
I really want to play 4th one. Any guides for newbie how to emulate that game? I am confused by the web.
>>2818367
Yeah. GT2 has more features, better physics, more cars, but GT1 is special. That time trial-only super long variation of Clubman night map... man, pure sex
>>2818380
Route 11? That course was the shit back in the day. It was used a tonne in the Sim mode.
>>2818384

It's more about the track visuals though, if you were referring to track layout HSR and even the shorter Clubman could figure in any RR game as they're far from being technical courses

>>2818367
Pardon for possibly not retro but if my old research is anything, GT4 (and GT3) for that matter are rather difficult to emulate and requires a monster of a rig. For starters, using a recent build of PCSX2 helps.

Another thing I kinda like GT1 over GT2 is that the load times navigating through the menu in simulation are way way less. Granted, GT2 was a bigger game so there were reasons why there's some loading time between going through your garage to the different car dealers.
Also, how do I GT Drift mode? Tell me your secrets!

>>2821158
Car makers often put strict conditions on damage models in games, when licensing their cars. Usually the requirements are either a complete lack of a damage model, only statistical damage, or only bodywork damage that will not destroy the overall shape of the cars (i.e. scratches and dents are fine, completely deformed or lost body parts are not). It's one of the primary reasons why games like Destruction Derby, Crashday or Wreckfest use unlicensed models, that are either purely fictional, or only loosely resemble real cars.
For game developers an indestructible car instantly causes problems when dealing with wall riding and aggressive passing maneuvers, slamming opponents into the wall.
Some games, like Trackmania, approach the wall riding problem by giving the player some severe slowdown. In games with a different focus though, wall riding is a very viable strategy and very often criticized.
There are no good solutions dealing with crash-to-pass behavior
hmm, thought this might be a bit nippier

why are you holding the cars sideways? Aren't you faster if the wheels roll in the direction you want to go, instead of sliding? That's been my experience with cars, anyway.

Doing a 500 lap race with "I Think I'm Paranoid" on constant repeat is torture.
>>2821168
In like 1997 maybe, but every modern driving game has some sort of damage model.
I remember in Forza 2 (2007) you could lose bumpers and shit on all the cars in the game. Granted, you can't completely demolish a car, but it's far from just a few scratches and dents.
>>2821293
Seriously some of the car dealerships music were fire
>>2821002
>>2821006
It probably comes with the settings I have on PCSX-R at the moment.
That got me thinking, I kinda think GT1 has the looks better than 2 since most cars have this weird bluish Vaseline sheen but 1 didn't.
But yeah, back in the day GT and GT2 used to be the pinnacle of great graphics for its time.
>>2821145
It's amazing that in this age, the Demio/Mazda 2 looks pretty fucking good, a far cry from its boxy look here.

>>2821706
losing bumbers still maintains the overall shape of the car and keeps it in working condition. Very little has changed in that regard. Stuff like NASCAR Racing or Destruction Derby shows what damage model games back then were capable of, but not allowed. Wreckfest nowadays shows what damage model games are capable of, and Forza shows how little they're allowed.
>>2821002
In my opinion:
Rage Racer & Ridge Racer Type 4 had better environment design (ideas) and detail
Need For Speed High Stakes had infinitely more car detail. Interior, chassis and reflection chrome
>>2821919
>working condition
Except damage affects performance and you CAN disable a car in Forza.
Also, in GRID 2 you can seriously fuck up a car to the point where it's hardly recognizable.
What matters is the specific manufacturers and the amount the developer is willing to pay.
>>2822016
Oh yeah, and before you ask, yes I have palyed NCG/Wreckfest and I know full that you can't do that kind of damage with licensed vehicles. But that's not to say that damage isn't possible or can't be very extensive with licensed cars, especially in this day and age.
>>2822016
Can someone license savvy explain what happened with Honda and Ferrari? Their cars are starting to appear in games with damage AND cops together.
>>2822020
>I know full that you can't do that kind of damage with licensed vehicles
That was my point
>that's not to say that damage isn't possible or can't be very extensive with licensed cars
That was besides the point, we're talking primarily about GT1 and 2. The original post was >>2821158
>your car is made of pure diamonds
>especially in this day and age
That happily clashes with your previous statement about Wreckfest. The problem is still as relevant as it was decades ago, that license restrictions prevent the application of full damage models, although they're possible to simulate. That the way it's executed has changed, is just a technicality. Then again, being technically correct is what all this is about, isn't it?
yuro here, it's 9am where I live. That cozy feel when you get to work, open up, make some fresh coffee and look up this thread. It's been like a little treat every morning this week.
I've restarted GT1 so many times, but I usually do the licence trials and rarely go further than the first cup or two. Once you get to the maxed out GTO its kinda not fun anymore, feels like playing bumper cars at 10 times speed.
But licence tracks are the shit. Again, I dont know if comfy is a buzzword on this board but there is nothing comfier. Racing games need more sunset tracks, that track (someone will provide the name I hope) in GT1 where you start on a slight downhill and then there is a wide 180 degree turn that leads uphill into the forest. It's pure sex.
Also funnily enough, I played through GT4 with GT1 jap music in the background. Jazzy shit works so well with gt4, whose OST is fucking shit.
>>2822021
They need money to make decent engines in F1
I'm not sure if I understood the rules of this TT: the 200hp aplies to the modifications in the car or it refers to the standard model? If it refers to the modifications so my March is disqualified ;_;

While there's nothing wrong with playing at native resolution, it can be helpful to have the webm larger, an integer multiple of the native resolution. It reduces the number of visual details in the image blocks, which means fewer artifacts.
By the way, is it possible to disable all the HUD noise?
>>2822318
I'm not sure 320x240 is a native PS resolution
>>2822330
>during replays
What about during gameplay? Specifically lap number, lap time, record, best lap and map
I 'played the shit out of Gran Turismo 2.
Never played the first one much, does it have cars as broken as Suzuki Escudo?
>>2822343
Arcade mode has the 67' Corvette, Dodge Viper among the un-tuned cars is a rapetrain and you have the japanese cars with 900+HP, good luck to control them in other tracks than Test Course though. The racecars aren't broken, but you don't need a monster like Escudo as the AI was never a priority in any of GT games
>>2822310
as i said, every mod is okay including racing mods as long as the car is FF and under 200hp
>you will never play GT2 with all the dummied out cars enabled
Would've been fun to play as the GT logo without cheating, even if it would be a super hard prize.
>>2822532
Man, I kind of want to race as the Arcade Mode Loading Track. It looks like fun stuff.
Non-retro, but I also found it funny that in the Euro version of GT3 I think, the dummied out cars were replaced by a goddamn Daihatsu Mira, including the Formula GT cars.
>The Mira with wide-ass tires and shit
It looks dumb
>>2822258
Honda's gonna need to appear more but their current F1 performance may prevent that.
Good grief, their team is sad as fuck this season.
Polite no bump for off-topic.
odds : do some more ff time trials
evens : do some dorifto webms
>>2822993
that's odd
Wow the retro place down the street from me has a copy of gt 2 for 5 bucks. Gonna pick it up today. Haven't played it in years, so excited.
>GT1
>double jewel case
>one disc game
Pretty terrible but the best lap I did because the suspension settings were crazy unstable.
>>2823198
its weird, i really like when the suspension is super tight like that , but if you tap against any walls you're fucked
>>2823291
>if you tap against any walls you're fucked
The effects are still less severe than "tapping" a wall in reality
>>2823301
but this is the gran turismo thread anon
fuark
im the new leader , yo
Not for long!
I only like playing an 86 in the sim games. Something about that little shitter is so fun to drive.
>>2823489
Have you played Touge Max G?

>Quick, /gt/! What was your go-to starter car?
For GT2, I usually went with a used Toyota Celica 4WD. Some quick grinding later, and it has over 300HP and can hit 160 easy. From there I usually save up the money for an Audi TT Coupe, and use that to save up the cash for the RUF CTR2 Sport, then the Escudo. With those cars, I can complete a good sized chunk of all races, only buying new cars for specific races as needed.
Why was Gran Turismo such an instant hit on the platform back then? What was it about the game that was new, unexpected, or resonated with the masses?
You can look but you can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to prove
I THINK I'M PARANOID!
>>2824525
I was thinking about it these days. I mean, GT2 is my favourite PS1 game where I spent countless hours on it, but I don't know why two racing simulators (yeah yeah I know there are better sims shortly after its release) became the greatest selling titles for Playstation. Nowadays people laugh at racing genre, unfortunately
>>2824549
>Nowadays people laugh at racing genre
They have every reason to. Racing used to be a wildly diverse genre, spanning all the way from F-Zero, over Mario Kart and NFS to NASCAR Racing and Indycar Racing. All we get now is endless variations of GT simcades
I made this image for the next thread
but hopefully we can keep this one alive until bump limit.
vote for next time trials here
http://strawpoll.me/6132680
>>2824597
I think the next time trial should enforce normal tires. It would definitely be more interesting than using racing tires, which almost feels like cheating.
>>2824647
any other limits?
we can throw around ideas in this thread, then have them ready for the next one i guess
unrelated : a maxxed out pajero mini is fun
Could we go offtopic for a moment, what other ps1 racing games did you guys enjoy back in the day?
I remember having only GT1 and TOCA1 on the ps1 for the first two weeks of owning the console. GT1 was the winner then but I did admire different weather options on TOCA and having 10 and more vehicles on the track.
Also played CMR2.0 obviously. Never got into NFS as a series but I played the living shit out of the Porsche Unleashed and to this day prefer it over PC version.
New record.
TOCA World Touring Cars had a great damage model, all sorts of things like bumpers, windows, and panels would get damaged and smashed during races, and it'd affect the car performance too. It blew my mind back then.
>>2824674
The third Toca game (WTC or Jarret-Labonte Stock Car Racing) is my choice right after GT2, it's so satisfactory to race versus non-retarded AI and have to take care about damage which actually can fuck your race. Also the track selection is pretty neat
>>2824880
NASCAR Racing was a couple years earlier
>>2824892
>non-retarded AI
Thanks for the recommendation
>>2824743
Rome.
And I think maxed-out Kei Cars could be fun on Normal Tires.
>>2824674
This and Need For Speed: High Stakes were my life.
>>2825170
180hp, but still the fastest for this challenge, I think, since it's so light.
>>2824597
I started trying the currently winning time trial (MR's at Laguna Seca, Normal tires, 350hp limit).
>>2824674
RC Revenge
Rollcage Stage 2
Wipeout 1-3
That one Muppet kart racer
Damn the PS1 had a ton of great racing games.

Reminder that drifting is for weeb faggots. Real gentlemen drive cars the proper way, with F1 technique.
>>2827040
Technique matters in a game that handles unrealistically?
>>2820613
>playing on an emulator is for fags,
Do you even own a real car, monkey.
>>2827042
Yes. Because autism.
>>2827040
I dare you to not drift in GT1's arcade mode, tracks there are made of iced soap even in "Racing" setting
>>2827052
>Playing arcade mode in a sim game
Flithy causal.
>>2827058
>not playing both modes to 100% completion
Filthy casual.
>>2827056
Would those K cars also include stuff like the MR Honda Mugen Beat? I've had a bit of a liking for it after trying out the below 200HP car challenge and the little yellow fucker seems light as fuck even compared to the stuff I was doing with the stock Demio A-Spec.
My favorite cars in GT1 was the Mitsubishi GTO and in the GT2 was the Suzuki Vitara Rally.
All 2 games finished at 100%
>>2827886
yeah as long as its a K car.
the alto works and mira tr-xx have been my favorite cars in all of the gt games.
when maxed out and tuned right you barley need to brake anywhere on trial mountain.
Bump of love. I'm halfway through a 100% run of GT2 and just golded the licenses.
>TFW you get a crappy color of a License-Only Prize Car
>TFW glitched GT2 versions are the only way to race Pic Related
>>2810994
GT2 was my JDM gateway drug 1yr before fast and furious came out.
then that, gt3, and n4su was the ode to my 9th grade...
>>2830819
Shit. I should check if I can get that on the copy I'm emulating.
That livery looks really fucking cool.
>>134309441
It's exclusive to the earliest NSTC versions of the game (The ones with a glitch Pic Related is referencing) and the car is the race mod for the Ford Taurus SHO.
>>2833178

Pleb.
>>2833178
It's a shame that all it does is change the body and not the engine and drivetrain.
>>2833225
It's a good base to fuck around with gameshark/action replay max though.

In case of the NASCAR Taurus, it should be used as a body swap for pic related.

>pic related will never return to a new GT game ever
Western players got the more successful NSX-R LM GT2 instead (class winner; pic related DNFed in 1995 Le Mans)
>>2825117
I still consider NFS3 to be the be all end all NFS and quite possibly the finest racing game I've ever played. I played the piss out of both the PC and PS1 versions and I still occasionally play them from time to time. Makes me kinda sad when I think about it. This was the last game me and my childhood best friend played a lot of together before he moved away and I never saw the guy again.
I kept meaning to get into NFS:HS, but it lost me when they added the stupid damage system and added a licensed soundtrack instead of the kickass original tunes. I picked up a ps1 copy of it recently so I might give it another whirl.
fucking loved the mr2 during early game
>>2821235
>if the wheels roll in the direction you want to go
You can only achieve this going sideways.
But you are right anon, on clean asphalt (such as on racetracks) fastest way around is to avoid sliding.
>>2834293
>stupid damage system
>soundtrack
Both are great to me. It's a shame they removed the F355 for PS1 version of HS, still one of my favourite Ferraris of all times.ROLL THE DICE
>>2824552
Are you kidding? It's vice versa. In 1995-2002 pretty much all the racing games were the same (i mean with actual cars, not futuristic or cartoonish karts), they become much more diverse later.
Actually I with there were clones of GT formula like in was 6th gen but none of them gain a foothold except Forza.
>>2834293
More than half of the soundtrack are still original and it kicks ass.
Also, PC version of High Stakes is total garbage. Thankfully I only had PSX back then.
>>2833180
>Pic Related
I didn't exactly have it but there were fucked up stuff I tried to do on my copy like how the garage gets extremely broken after trying to do a speed test for some reason. The good ol' No Name NoName glitch I believe.
Luckily I didn't save and didn't fuck over my garage.
>>2835608
I was lucky to not encounter this bug because I completed GT2 to 98% or whatever is maximum.
Or do gold licenses also add %?
>>2835653
Golding Licenses adds %, I believe.
>>2835653
GT2 has lots of these small glitches, IIRC the only version you can 100% is the european one doing some shit using Vauxhall branded cars.
>>2835736
Didn't at least 1.2 US version fixed the shit?
>>2835773
working fine here, maybe you should not pirate next time :^)

You can get to 101% by changing the language and selecting Opel.
>>2837361
Does something happen when you reach 100% in proper version?
