Looks like RUclips has given this video another blessing and has chosen it for the algorithm once again! I would like to mention that I forgot one major discovery regarding the game and that has to do with the in-game cheat codes found by Nenkai earlier this year. You can find that video linked in the description as well as the video covering the Spec II mod!
Never played Gran Turismo before
I wonder if on top of this an AI filter a la GTA V by intel will make of it. especially that it isn't as computationally demanding as gta V
The progression is what i love. Modern games do not scratch that itch of starting with a small mediocre used car and racing your way up getting progressively better. The presentation is just iconic and it feels great.
I get why modern progression is the way that it is, but you can't beat starting with a beater that's older than you are and working from there
That's the beauty of Gran Turismo 4. Even when you have all the money and the race cars, there's still pleasure driving some obscure hatchback on trial mountains or destroying the AI with your 600 hp skyline. So many cars to test, so many events and races. It's a single player hardcore drug.
Ikr, what's the point of using old cars if i have a new faster car available right from the beginning 💀
@@agit5270 I edited this comment because I misunderstood the previous comment. Now you won’t know what I said. :trollface:
@Rowdy maybe you've misunderstood my comment, what i meant was is that newer gts are boring af couse i have no incentive to drive slower cars cause i have racing cars tight from the beginning
A 2004 game, which still holds up 19 years later. Still my favorite GT game to this day.
Sick game easy can say maybe the best GT plus with this shaders game looks unbelievable
even more crazy is that it was running on a 32MB console :D
32mb? @@AndrewTSq
@@uemoips2 had 32MB of ram
I'm playing in my OG PS2 fat right now. 22% progression and no doubtf still holds up pretty well with components in my CRT or at 1080i in my modern TV.
The fact that GT4 is becoming increasingly more popular puts a smile on my face. Also, it shows that new games are becoming less immersive, the exact opposite of what AAA game developer studios want. 😅
No it doesn't, it just shows that GT4 was amazing, has aged well, is easy to run and, most importantly, is free. I guarantee that if GT5 or 6 were as easy to run upscaled to 1080p or 4K as GT4 is then we'd be modding that to add a GT4-like career mode instead of modding GT4 to add GT5/6-like graphics.
@@n_tas cope.
@@n_tas Maybe, but new games just aren't fun to play. Their one biggest gimmick is the graphics & fluidity. After the "oohs & ahhs" are over, not may continue to play them. People literally have tens of hundreds of games stockpiled in their libraries, which they haven't touched since they first played them. The funny part is that most of those games are from 2017 to current day, 2023.
@@KingDeadMan I can't speak of the newest launch, but 9th gen games are great. I only play games available on PS Plus, they are great IMO. Been playing them non stop. I grew up playing SEGA Genesis.
@@headshotmaster138 I don't think you know what that means
Plays Forza Horizon 4: bored after 10 hours
Plays GT4 for the 150th time: * Moon over the castle intensifies *
I don't agree... because Forza Horizon is one of the few racing games nowadays that are really fun and interesting. But your comment fits well with games like nfs unbound, and most of today's racing games which are really boring...
Okay, don’t get wrong I liked Forza Horizon 4, but it really did feel like the only FH game that didn’t know what it wanted to be. FH1-3 were single player focused with good progression and campaign. FH5 is multiplayer focused with live service and lots of community content. FH4 is an awkward midground between the two, and while don’t get me wrong, the map of FH4 is fantastic, it doesn’t scratch the itches the first three do, and 5 scratches the online itches much better
@@TheFred128 there is nothing interesting about horizon games especially horizon 5 its the most dull and boring racing game ever made with most annoying non skipable cringy cutscenes. First three games were good but the last one is just cancer
@@user-is2mj2ig4vi can agree about the cutscenes but the recent updates makes the game better now
@@TheFred128 Forza Horizon 4-5 just feel really bland and boring though, at least for me. They aren't bad, in fact, they are some most well made and well optimised modern racing games but they don't really have a character and if you don't play multiplayer there's pretty much nothing to do. You can mess around with cars and track creators but you have to go out of your way to do that, there's no incentive to do anything.
I just love how gaming communities have effectively been creating their own remasters of games. If the studios won't make an updated re-release, we will!
I don’t even need updated graphics and sounds or mods. I just want Xemu games to work properly, especially Ghost Recon 2 and Splinter Cell: Double Agent. All of my original Xbox games and the console were essentially stolen from me.
To me, this game will always be the shining example of replayability. I may not complete the game, but each time I start a new playthrough it's different than the last. At least to some degree.
Admittedly I didn't like the game that much as a kid, the weird camera and lack of throttle control made it difficult to play for me back then. However pretty much every complaint one could have is fixable nowadays. With emulation this is as close to a flawless game as you can get. It aged fantastically, and will likely continue to age better than many modern racing games due to their over-reliance on online and shallow career offerings.
There really couldn't be a better time to give GT4 a try
GT4 is to the PS2, what GT2 is to the PS1, a gem of a classic.
Heyyyy hello dustin, I watch your vids lol!
So yeah anyways I really love GT4 in terms of replayability too. It's not just because it's got a load of cars, but the progression of the game is just too perfect to say the least. It's a mix of getting the cars too easily and too hard, like getting a kei car that is enjoying to cruise in a circuit and then replaying the whole 10 mile driving park course to get like the much better JGTC cars that you'll then drive at the likes of suzuka and nurburgring, is something that I would always try and do everytime I boot up the game and I absolutely never get bored of it. And if you don't want to race but you you do want to get yourself entertained, you can simply go to photo mode, play the game on director's mode, and watch the car simply drive all around as if you're watching like those top gear cinematic heli cams, and that's something other racing games lack.
I mapped the triggers to accel/brake like any modern game. It plays fantastic
every time i play it i get addicted to winning the toyota rsc rally car over n over n over again in order to sell it for 300k.
Seems that not everyone knows but the original ps2 gamepad had pressure sensitive buttons... thats how I played GT4 with precise throttle, it wasnt that intuitive as triggers but it did the job for me at the time
This is really comprehensive and up to date, also thanks for linking to the modding hub! It cannot be stressed enough how much can already be modded in this game, hopefully this can help growing some interest too
nenkai when you do the gran turismo 4 cheats specifically for the licenses, do you get the reward cars too? my save file got corrupted and cbf doing it again
I would like to see more cars and tracks
@@babysaleem1 Yes you get all 3 cars for gold on each license, you can even enter the cheat on each license test one after another instead of one at a time, cheat each test to gold then enter any test and exit you get all 3 cars.
Imagine beating Nürbugring 24h and winning a Daihatsu Midget cause of the randomizer lol
That would happen to me lol
Better yet.. a pink yaris
Better that winning a pink Yaris.
Y E L L O W E V O
Yooo that sound mod is amazing 👌👌👌
i suspect they have to work within the limitations of the game.
they cannot bring a high quality sound file directly in the game
@@mro9466 it’s actually audio post processing done on the emulator side, which is actually quite interesting because you can clearly see that the real car sounds are there but the old ps2 hardware was not able to play them properly
@@mikidof How do I download this sound mod?
You just turned the BEST Gran Turismo game into perfection.
Seriously, the only thing missing is cockpit view with proper interior and textures but that just cant be done i guess.
I’m just the messenger lol, lots of people have contributed!
The stance on that Model T at 3:14 is the stuff of nightmares...
Stuff of dreams
I’d take that over a Rocket Bunny abomination any day
The dedicated Spec II Mod video is out now! ruclips.net/video/LyLaWEAMKXs/видео.html&feature=sharec
excellent job there Rowdy! Keep it up!
Looks like 2004-2005 was the golden era for the racing games. Never played Gran Turismo, but now I see why people would want to. My favourite racing game would be Colin McRae Rally 2005 which managed find the perfect balance between casual gameplay and realism. I hope it will get its fair share of mods soon too.
Go get yourself a copy my friend 😊 They're everywhere. It's definitely not perfect but, if you love anything about cars and car culture, you'll love this game 😊 Also, some of the best tracks to every grace a game, IMO.
Though, RIP "Red Rock Valley" 😢
2000s was the golden era of gaming in general. Racing games peaked, sports games peaked, FPS games peaked, RPGs peaked, etc
tf u talking about simracing is literally popping off right now. the current state of asseto corsa, dirt rally, beamng, ams2, acc, iracing, gt7 all with VR support and cheaper direct drive wheel availability shits on any game from 2004-2005. i get it, get gt4 was fun, nfs arcade was fun, but they did not simulate racing in any realistic capacity
@@rzt430they don't need to. Sim racing is immersive and realistic but not always fun. You have to be on edge and focus really hard instead most of the time people just want to relax and have fun in their spare time. I have a wheel but rarely use it now because its too much effort to set up every time and not a relaxing experience
@@eniff2925 well you know what? i completely agree with you. i do enjoy gt7 more than ac, acc and ams2 for that reason. it has more game-y aspects than the others which are just plain simulation and in terms of being games they are half-assed. i only use ac to practice drifting since it carries over irl in my experience. however setting it up including VR every single time kills any sort of enjoyment i have for it. i would much rather boot up GT7 and have a fun race to relax.
what i mean about simracing peaking is the fact that direct drive steering wheels and such have never been more readily available than today. remember how much you had to pay for a logitech g25/27/29 back then? it was insane. nowadays a logitech g29 is $150 straight from logitech refurbished. it has never been more accessible at any point of time before now.
so this was the surprise video you were talking about
well, considering the success these racing game documentary videos are having right now, this could very well blow up
and it's a banger as always
great job man :)
Good Stuff Rowdy. With all the enhancement mods, optimizations, and wheel support, now is a great time to get back into Gran Turismo 4.
On a side note emulation in general has improved a lot over the years. I'm anticipating advancements to OG xbox emulation which is lagging behind other generations. I can't wait to emulate Project Gotham Racing 2 on pc. It's a classic that deserves a resurrection.
Thank you for compiling this. I really hope we can get some light shined on this game. I can't even imagine having more real mods for this game!
I played GT 5 prologue on ps3 and it completely blew me away the time I played it as a kid. It was a racing experience unlike any other. The graphics and sound track were gorgeous, huge line up of cars. And now to see this gt4, a game I’ve always wanted to play but never could, is truly amazing to me. Thank you for bringing such an amazing game to those who wanna dive deep into the era of pure racing games.
Very interested to see more about that Spec-II mod. My goodness. Thanks for this Rowdy.
nice job Rowdy thanks a lot ,for the info that you give to us :)
Keep up the good work, Rowdy!
You are the first person who I noticed that convinced me to upgrade my gaming rig in order to emulate this game, and after 3-4 years I can finally say thank you for all they work you have done to show off the capabilities of this game for 2023.
Intro tho 🔥 Great video mate 😊
Rowdy's best video yet.
The passion is infectious!
This is my favourite game of all time, one that I put thousands of hours into on a slimline PS2 some 15 years ago. To see it thriving online, and in such incredible quality, makes me so very happy for its longevity
will be playing this and subbed now good sir. thanks so much
Dude as soon as the music hit, I got goosebumps freaking awesome.
Great summary, not much to add that wasn't already covered in Nenkai's comment, but I appreciate the shout out to Spec II and the pic of the credits page to credit everyone else.
If you want access to any newer Spec II builds for content just let me know, although beware they'll be a little more experimental and less stable than what's already released.
Nice!!! I need to play it again
Def gonna check this out, never had the chance of playing it before
Thanks to all the people who keep the masterpiece that is Gran Turismo 4 alive. They are legends!
Spec 2 Sound mod is the best thing
It's awesome
NiC3
Holy moly, I loved GT4 and yes seems like I have been out of the loop on this. Heading straight to getting this to work on my machine. Thanks!
Thank you for resurrecting this masterpiece
What I appreciated the most is you didn’t tweak the soundtrack because it’s already perfect 👌
Gran vídeo, es mi juego favorito y no sabía del online . Nuevo suscriptor ❤ gracias
I am developing emulators and I am incredibly satisfied that there are people which appreciate the beauty of emulation! ❤
As a PS2 Slim two owner, I had the game as a gift that came with the console among tekken 4 & NBA, I have literally spent my childhood playing this game and couldn't play it anymore since 2012 when it broke up, this for me looks like a dream, I hate racing games on pc because I don't want to use keyboard but I always forget about the racing wheel that I could use, this sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
The hours I spent on this game and the long races were just the best
I miss this game and these days
Thanks for bringing me back !
I got this game when I was 12, it was definitely a formative moment for me. I will have to emulate it, I haven't heard the music in so long and even that brings back memories.
I love how specific that comment was about performance. My current only computer IS a 2013 budget laptop with 4gb ram and ATI r4 graphics. I'm sure I'll have plenty of issues emulating GT4. Otherwise I'm sure it's playable.
I remember as a kid being impressed by the most common cars lmao
I entered the used car lots and saw the Isuzu Piazza, I fell in love with it
Same here but with the GT racing for mobile (with the same name of this series even tho it's not).
I loved the Citroen Picasso and the Wolksvagen Scirocco.
Now when I see them irl I give them the most indifferent look ever. 😂
Gran Turismo is LIFE
beautiful. GT2 and GT4 are still my favorites.
Spec II mod sounds really exciting
Hands down the best intro to a game ever. I loved that game. I spent countless hours playing.
Been contemplating giving the game a try since i've been trying out a lot of old racing games lately, yep, i'm sold, off to grab a .iso from certain archive site and will get to installing the mods shortly. Glad i stumbled upon this video.
New to sim racing, only played Forza 7 and recently playing Dirt 3 yet this footage still blows my mind.
Beautiful drifting and handling in the snow at the end there, hope I get as good as that soon.
none of those games even this one are simulators
2:58 😂😂 this brought back so many memories. I used to do this exact thing
Man... I can't wait till Spec II mod comes out to the public. I was replaying GT4 but ran into issues running it in DX12, it was fixed on the latest PCSX2 updates (I don't like how Vulkan bogs down in some menus, DX12 runs smooth all around).
Playing GT4 in 4k is already a dream come true, having new sounds and improvements to the game would make it the best racing game for me.
Brilliant!
Was waiting for you to make an updated GT4 insane graphics video
It almost looks like a modern title thats amazing. So much of my childhood was spent on this game and looking at all the concept cars I'd never get to drive, the funky jazz is pure nostalgia
Can you bring Enthusia to your channel?
Enthusia was the response of Konami to Gran Turismo, a underrated but amazing game.
I’m not really interested enough in it tbh
Enthusia is boring as fuck, if anything it's appropriately rated.
@@RowdyGT You should give it a try regardless. I'm sure it won't disappoint you!
@@Guimaster127 But don't really pressure him if he's not interested. He plays what he wants.
@@alexsaffamericaUntil many RUclipsrs start trying it. Seems to be the case with many games.
Suggestions: add a trainer with options for a jump button, hydraulics, placeable ramps, placeable grind rails, wheelies, endos, nitrous, kickflips, heelflips, physics sliders, neons, night mode, rain, in-air tilt-ability (like gta), speed boost pads (like wipeout), and mp3 music player.
Man, first of all, thanks for your Ultimate Gran Turismo 4 Guide, i followed step by step and it works perfectly! The only thing, is it possible for you to do a tutorial for the trigger sensitivity buttons you tell in 02:43? This specific step wasnt covered in the other video, anyways, thanks!
Cool stuff🙂
I grew up playing gt4 as a kid and still do on an emulator on my phone. This is my favorite from the franchise and I think my favourite game of all time and watching this video makes me want to replace my old laptop from 2013 for something that can run this game with the upscale and mods. 😂
Id love to see new cars added into the game of that was possible but would be cool if the le-mans quattro was replaced with the r8
Holy shiet, thank you for this!
the intro is beautiful, really invokes my love for cars
360 camera really should be a standard in all racing games. it just makes it so much more satisfying to view your car in any angle while in motion.
I love these kinds of breakdowns. Wish more ppl did videos like these on emulators.
GT4 is at the peak of gaming.
I've always played this game on native hardware for the nostalgia factor (I grew up on the PS2 Gran Turismos and GT3 is actually the game that came wtih my PS2 at Costco), but I've always been curious about exploring this game to the maximum through emulation. When I don't need to have it literally in my hands (that's what the PSP version is for), having this on my laptop could be a fantastic way to bring GT4 on the go (though with a Steam Deck I could have the best of both worlds hehe)!
Plus, as much as I'm liking GT7 and its seasonal events, I have to experience online racing in GT4 at least once.
I appreciate this very in-depth guide, it leaves very little stones, if any, unturned!
It's incredible how after 19 years the game now looks the way I imagined it did behind the fuzzy CRT tv
GT4 mods is something I didn't know I needed in my life. This is really great! Haha.
This is so sick!
My child hood favorite game!
Man that snowy stage looks so beautiful
Awesome ✌️
My favourite series out of all GT ❤
It would be great to see this kind of support for Tourist Trophy as well as the GT games. A cheat engine would be amazing, seeing as the race options in TT are extremely limited. Also, It has been a dream of mine to be able to race with cars and bikes in the same game, if this is even remotely possible.
Back in the days, I never finished the game. My PS2 died and I can only play on my cousin's PS2 Slim for around 3-4 hours during the weekends. Last year, I bought myself a decent laptop with decent graphics card. Emulators is kinda the thing nowadays and I finally beat the game. Not only that, I also learn how to play the game with manual transmission, which I avoided since the very first game. I also applied the beautification mods for it and ... despite the lack of modern cars, graphically, it looks like a modern high resolution racing games. Next is to find that sound mods. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Man, this game really is timeless- and that mod showcase now has me super tempted to try GT4 on PCSX2 (thank God I have a new PC)!
Still gotta get used to analog/triggers for this Dualsense I picked up...
Awesome. When I can afford a good steeling wheel for PC, I'll check it out.
Miss this game, wish we could get a remaster of all GT gsmes
I put so many hours into this game. I remember I would always have my PS2 to bring it to my mechanics class and we would play on the TV in the class during lunch (with teacher permission of course). We would show him what can be done to modify cars and he would point out how realistic or not that would actually be which in turn would turn into a small lesson for all of us
Can’t wait for the tutorial video. I miss this game
The sound mod, can’t wait
I recently revisited this same game and found it to be a lot more fun if you turn down a lot of the driving assists. Traction control and stability control down to almost off is a lot more Forza like and add JUST a little arcade to the way the cars handle. Basically allowing more tire spin and drift. Doing so I found myself enjoying racing more and just having to SLAM the brakes down to super low speed to make any corners.
really wish modders find a way to use menu car model as ingame car model
That rally section at the end looks CRISPY.
It always amazes how good ps2/gamecube games look when maxed out. Quite a few still hold up amazingly.
same thing for Dreamcast also
Really interesting. Its either GT2 or GT4 is where I dedicated my childhood growing up in the ecospace of Gran Turismo. Seeing now that GT4 is alive in the modern world. It makes me want to know how mods work for PCSX2. I maybe able to port a few cars never before seen in GT4 especially GT500/GT300 cars but specced for GT4.
I spent a lot of time playing that game! It was great on the sim set up! Ferrari F-40 was my favorite vehicle to drive.
I just scooped this up for 15$ used and am getting down like days of old GT3 as a teen. Also never played 4 , so this is a new experience for me😅. So many hours invested back in the day....
That online gameplay you showcased. How is it that this has less jitter than GT sport and GT7. I swear, that is what puts me off from those games so hard.
Good connection in GT4O is a very rare experience lol. I just usually race with the same group of people who are all on PS2's while my PC is good enough for emulation (most of the time)
Best GT ever and for me the best racing game of all time. The amount of fun you can have in this game is insane!
I would love the ability to mod more car positions in races so that you can race more than 5 cars.
Those sound design was another level!
Never played a gt game but this looks great i may do this
TheAdmiester is making a sound pack for GT4 that overhauls all the engine sounds. You can find a demo video on his channel. This game will be perfect with them.
I'm currently emulating this game on the Steam Deck and while it's not perfect (there's some slowdown particularly on the Clubman and Twin Ring Motegi tracks), it's a pretty great game for a handheld device. The game has aged beautifully. And now I learn it has HD texture packs? Oh boy.
3:35 heyyyy its meee :D
Ngl, even though I have GT4 as a physical copy, I've never pulled the trigger and played it. I always assumed that the hype was all rose tinted glasses. But now I very well might give it a go
One of the best games u will ever play
The basics are still amazing: driving physics, car selection, gt mode. But surely you have to accept the comical ai or the awful engine sounds. You have to play around those limitations: select the cars with the best sounds, don't use the racing exhaust, accept that you have to play bumper cars from time to time.
It rocks
God I cannot stand that bullshit rose tinted glasses argument.
I played this so much that i realized I was taking the racing line when walking around corners.
Me sliding the shopping cart around corners making sutututu noises
This looks absolutely fun
5:40 i don't even like cars (as a means of transportation), but that sounds SO GOOD
i love how casual you were with the fact that you were in a lobby with BK4
