I remember the first time I played this at a friends house as a kid. Trial Mountain. When I saw the light coming through the trees my jaw dropped to the floor.
You are right insane graphical and gameplay jump, my problem with it is 4 blew it out of the water and 2 was superior on the content front imo. Great game don't think I would revisit unless to have some fun with the 996 gt3 and diablo race car though.
I didnt owned PS1, I was a N64 kid, so, when in 2001 I got my PS2 (by selling all my old consoles) and got GT3 as my first and only game, I was blowened away and in an instant crush. Im still a Polyphony fan boy. Such good times. (I used the Trueno as my first car btw) Great vid man, cheers from Mexico City !
You probably forgot that about the 4 prize car. The Endurance race has that 4 prize car too. Ive done 4 of them: the 60 Lap for Grand Valley Speedway, 2 hours Rome Circuit race, 50 laps on Special Stage Route 11 and that 78 laps on Cote de Azur. Some events has that same car that were not on sale.
Great review. Its impossible to overstate how ridiculously good this game was. I kind of view it similarly to games like Tecmo Bowl and NBA Jam in the sense that unless one experienced it in the context of the video game landscape at the time it was released, its virtually impossible to communicate just how transcendent GT3 was in every imaginable way.
I still think the graphics or the stage design looks better on this game than any other racing game. The way the camera and the objects move past as you're driving seems more realistic. Now they use a lot of phoney lighting effects and such that don't look like genuine movement. We don't need it to look exactly the same, just good enough and fluid enough to feel realistic.
My favourite starting car has to be Mazda MX-5. But the issue is the fact that I don't have enough money to tune it up properly, so it might have not been best starting car, since later races do kick my ass due to lack of money for upgrades. GT 3 is my very first Gran Turismo game, so there are some things I'm not fully familiar with. But over all it's a fun racing game over all.
actually if you beat the Sunday Cup without upgrading, then buying the stage 1 turbo, it can brute force some events (i.e Clubman Cup, FR Challenge and the 80s cup), hell you can even enter the Roadster Endurance if you want to, also thanks
Always been a Gran Turismo fan though the games have always been hard as nails. I actually just re-bought this game mostly for nostalgia cause I had it in my college days and because my wife still has a working PS2 that I regularly buy games for when I find good deals on them. GT3 only cost me $5 and the replay value alone will pay for the game. I'm mostly into the arcade mode because it has a lot of good cars to start but I may have to try your strategy with buying the Miata and then dropping in the power pack when I win a few races. Cheers. 😊
I remember me and my cousin pulling all nighters on the weekend playing this. We'd hand off the controller to get all those endurance races
Well, the Formula GT championship was supposed to simulate what a normal F1 season was. That 78 lap race at Cote de Azure is the Monaco GP.
makes sense, sorta of, still wish it would've been at least 25 to 30 laps

Awesome review! Gran Turismo 3 is not only my favorite GT but also my favorite game of all time! A true classic and masterpiece!!

Great vid man, cheers from Mexico City !
I remember being blown away by the graphics at the time. They still look decent today!
I wish people would record with true hardware more often rather than emulation with bumped up resolution scaling.
Love your video bro keep the good work my dude
Thanks :)
PSX demo CD music... man. That brought some memories back.
This looks so much better than in my tv
Use a crt tv not a flat screen or monitor
Or get a component cable

I got all gold on b license before starting so I got an even better miata with 160hp. 190 with a few upgrades
Real men beat the Formula Gt championship with a Toyota Gt-ONE
What did you do this morning and any big plans for tomorrow
I just got this game for the first time and i love it 🥰 ive always wanted to play it as a kid but never got it.
GT3 A-Spec was and is the best Gran Turismo ever , I would also say that it's in the top three best driving games ever .
Proud to be a fan of GT game my first game was GT1 ps1
and omg I noticed the demo1 soundtrack xD
You think this is better than Gran Turismo 4 released years later?
absolutely
I can agree with your thoughts. The game is very amazing too.

Congrats on finishing college :)
thanks :)
I actually prefer the GT3 graphics over all of them
1:59 holy fucking shit lol
Was always hugely disappointed with the resolution of the textures.
You know exactly what textures are coming up.
No excuse to use 32x32 textures.
I destroyed my first ever ps2 after trying to license when I was 11 years old in this game lmao
PINK VITZ
I wasn't a bad game; however, was uninteresting. So I could never favor it.

Só achei esse gran turismo muito fraco em questão de carros, pistas e jogabilidade, que para ser um simulador está muito fácil, comparando com o GT4

It was good but not that awesome. Forza motorsports was slightly better
