Bluebear Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Dug out my PS2 and my copy of GT4 the other day, only to find I didn't have the save any more. Sadface.When I booted it up though, and got onto the menus, so many memories came flooding back, having a huge hit of nostalgia every once in a while is stupidly addictive.But alas, since theres no save file, I'm having to do the licences all over again! FUUUU- And since I don't have a wheel anymore, its even harder to be smooth through corners etc. Can only manage to get full silvers on the first licence (B?) Only time I got a gold was on the Coffee Break...Also, the car AI is stupidly retarded. "Oh there is a car that is clearly much faster than me beside me, I shall keep to the racing line anyway hurrr."There's so much JDM goodness in this in comparison to say, Forza 2/3 however, I think I'll be playing it for quite a bit (again).Anyone else still play any of the old games for that nostalgia rush?

WallaceGlanza Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Yeah I've still got all the gran turismos and my saves GT4 is hardly nostalgic though, should try the first one - it seems rediculously quick compared to the others when you play it now and the licences are the hardest on it - I got all gold on every other GT game except the first.I love the sound track and menu music for GT1 too, on the whole it was amazing at the time.We should finally get a release date for GT5 tonight too from the E3 show.

riko666 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'll buy your GT4 for the sum of a hug, as mine seems to have corrupted myself and has thus left me in a rather aimless state Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Can't find my old copy of gran turismo 2! If you complete the light wieght cup series then you unlock a glanza! That game is the reason I bought one it oues me soooooo much money now its all their fault lol think I could sue and say the game made me mod my car and spend all my money Quote Link to post Share on other sites
series70boy Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 never bought an xbox so i am still rolling the big silver ps2 box (starting to die )i am a big player on the driving games.we should set up a competition thread, log onto arcade mode (all cars are standard so its fair) gran tourismo 3 or 4choose a car and track then everyone posts their time for 1 lapand yes some jdm goodness Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bluebear Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 Riko, I think you'd still be able to find it easy in shops 2nd hand? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Still got my GT4 somewhere as well I've just brought a PS3 and waiting on GT5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm still on the fence about whether to get a PS3, GT5 and Demons Souls are tempting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

riko666 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Oh I would've cried if that happened - hardcore GT fan here, bought 2 the day it was released in America, and Pre-ordered 3 & 4. 5, the novelty's worn off the wait, though I'm purchasing a PS3 solely for that game. But only after I finish 4. Fracking F1 Championship.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How can you not've finished it though - get it done -100% complete 100% avg win ratio I expect no less.I've not bothered pre-ordering GT5 yet with the delay it's had - bit rediculous and most likely down to 3d which I don't give a monkeys about.

riko666 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Basically, 2 summers ago, I did 12/15 races, forgot to save. And. The inevitable happened. I got so annoyed I haven't tried since. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kingcarr Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 One thing bout gran turismo I don't like... All the cars sound similar/ the same! I never really knew the reason for the red numbers on the dash either (something to do with the next gear shift I think?) plus the glanza in that video must have been a glanza s cus there was no turbo guage!?! There normally is on the turbo cars isn't there?!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
