Friendly reminder! If you’re offended by the fact that PlayStation 1 is in a retro gramming group… You should really get a colonoscopy.
I’d consider any console whose games could not receive update patches as retro.
I promise you no one is offended but we still want colonoscopies
I wish they would remake this game with new graphics. These old ones were so much better. I don’t want DLC or live services, I just want a driving RPG where I start with stock hatchbacks and gradually progress up the ranks and save up money to get better cars and win harder races.
I haven’t played a GT in a very long time. That’s not what they are anymore? I have up on the genre when each car part had like 20 options and I had no clue what was good for a given track
The modding / emulation scene is bonkers for this game, friend!! Check out the link I posted.
Pssst…buy the Mitsubishi GTO.
I loved my green GTO in that game.
Yes, the green/white and white/green upgraded racing liveries are imprinted in my brain.
So it wasn’t just me then? That car killed everything.
As a kid, the AWD made it so much more forgiving. And once you did all of the weight reductions and upgrades, it could decimate just about anything.
It led to my buying a beat up old '94 black 3000 GT a few years back for $900(!!!) to fulfill the childhood fantasy. Not a VR4 sadly and it only survived a few months, but what a glorious few months they were.
I can hear this image.
What an epic sound. Unrivaled by anything before or since.
I remember being amazed at how “realistic” the cars looked, nowadays it looks pretty dated.
That game got me into Garbage (the band) though. One of their songs was on the game soundtrack.
First time my brother mentioned it he thought the live play was a commercial / live racing at first. It sounds silly now but at the time the graphics were much better than anything we were used to in racing games. Also back then it wasn’t unknown to have proper live filming for video game commercials. We were both adults at the time too, unsure if that’s worse or better heh.
Now I check out Forza Horizon and am like, yeah that’s digital, nice and shiny but definitely digital.
