i feel a little conflicted about your choice of the buick special - since its cant participate in the unmodified requirement races. it can be an opponent, sure, but it isn't allowed normally, in say, the 1000 miles challenge - and this couldve easily have been rectified with a number of production cars from america, or the UK. AC 427 and shelby cobra springs to mind.
I bought myself an original PS2 , memory card, an HDMI adapter and an 8BitDO adapter so i can connect my ps5 controller to it all for 100$ and i buy a bunch of games each month since most only cost 5 bucks or less online, some games i used to own back in the day, including this game, & others i have never played before. What's shocking is that most ps2 games are of better quality than games nowadays. I have more fun playing my PS2 than i have playing a PS5, and its alot cheaper. If i ever was short on money i would definately get myself a ps2 instead of a 4 or 5.
I’ve seen yourself, Kuru and a few others taking on these racing challenges, it’s amazing how we might be playing the same game and striving for the same goal, but outside of licences, our gameplay experiences/routes are completely different like you said. Just shows how great these games are to be able to carve your own path :)
@@osprey_06 You can try Gran Turismo 1 in first, just because it's the first one. I'd rather recommand Gran Turismo 2 if you're not a huge fan of retro gaming, I think it adged better. They're are extremely easy to emulate, you can even do it on a low tier smartphone and connect a cheap Bluetooth controller to it.
man this is so entertaining, the throwback to the good'ol'days of gran turismo with well edited, enjoyable commentary - nothing better to chill to! thank you sir!
Sadly I deleted all the files of me completing the extreme events… This video did really poorly for the first 2 weeks & I assumed nobody was interested 😅😅 Typically a few days later it’s started picking up pace. Fear not, this won’t be the last challenge I do on GT4!
I’m the kind of person that can get bored of a 10 minute video and not finish it, sometimes even a 5 minute video, but you managed to keep even a goldfish like me captivated for two whole hours. The pacing was great, the highlights chosen provided a great mix of action of just plain good driving (with the occasional sbinalla, always good to mix those in), and overall you just played extremely well. Great video, and I’m looking forward to seeing the extreme series whenever that comes out. I guess Most Wanted and Carbon will have to hold me over until then!
Thank you for taking the time to write all this out, especially after what you mentioned with the attention span haha (I can relate) I spent a lot of time on this video and comments like yours make it all worth it
1:09:47 - ah, yes, this is what I've been waiting for. Great choice of music with the Colin McRae Rally 3 menu theme as well. Congrats on the video and playthough!
56:00 those camera angles remind me of the game Driver, especially with that insanely clean drift. I woulda mentioned the replay cam angles at 1:10:25 ish but the car from the first clip I mentioned looked close to cars you'd see in Driver, love to see it
I've actually seen your channel around once or twice before but I never really watched cause I'm not into most shooter games. It's really cool seeing you try a game I've been playing for most of my life!
Shooter games these days aren’t doing too hot tbf. I’ve been playing this game on and off for almost 20 years now, so it’s nice to finally put it into the spotlight on my channel and meet likeminded people along the way! :D
The most gamingest of gamers don't need no damn *c h o o n i n g* what a beast that Interceptor was when it came out what, 50 years ago now? Next challenge should just be trying to beat the game with that alone. Racing slicks and engine swaps permitted KEKW 48:15 😂
This is how I always try to play GT unless it's some impossible race where I have to "cheat". I prefer to experience how the car is meant to be driven.
I always had this idea on how to play through this game and watching you doing it made me inspired to try to 100% without upgrades. My answer to that came in about 20% completion. No, you can't. Simply because of One-Make Races. Some of them have way too upgraded cars to beat. Still though, good content and I hope to see you come back to this game with a different challenge perhaps.
What if you beat GT4 with only Nitrous Upgrades Rules: 1. Tire & Suspension upgrades are allowed but no power upgrades 2. You can upgrade your car but only nitrous is allowed 3. Beat the GTWC in order to win this challenge
hope this blows up soon. amazing video. i know people are only here for COD or fps stuff, but this is just better IMO since you are having so much fun with it. fps games are draining everyone thats on PC and a content creator. this right here is the shit. keep it up my dude and cant wait for the next vid
Usually I never write comments, but your videos took me back to my childhood. I love your Commentary Style, the Editing and the Content itself :) Gave you a Sub (Y)
DustinEden’s GT4 movie is the best single piece of content I’ve ever seen on the older GT games. I hope one day I can make a video that’s even half as good as that, but I’ll be hiring an editor to plan that out with if we ever get to that stage
We didn’t know how bad loading times and waiting times were back in the PS2 days, it’s such a luxury to emulate these games now with all the added features lmao
@@TheGamingDefinition I know right? The QOL that emulators can bring to old games makes it just that much more enjoyable! If you haven’t tried it already for GT4, doing a few races at 200% speed in A spec is a wild ride! The handing characteristics on any car you use feels so much “sharper” while the braking feels like you have 8 piston calipers.
Near the 47 minute mark he mentions the lead shooting away... Is that literally just racing? Or have racing games been broken forever and Forza Motorsport just wasn't going to be the one to fix them.
Can you do a tutorial on getting the game running and looking nice, I'm having issues with my install. Text sticking around blocking the gear recommendation and no time differences for time distance between other racers plus cars in the distance turn to pixels.
Can You Beat Gran Turismo 4 good video but i am worried do not let polyphony digital of gran turismo 7 and gt sport get wind of this or gt8 be even worse gt8 need to be as good as gt3 and 4 combined plus best stability on tracks like gt5
Hey James,love you no matter what you play, but are you considering playing Mw3? atleast give it a try? Leaks and rumours sounds too good to be true,i've lost all hope i've had in them but still want to believe its gonna be good.
I grew up playing them a tonne, and played them in the background alongside content creation but never showed it, I likely have as many hours in racing as I do in FPS games
The skillful driving early on was nice to watch but, ehhh. I would love to see you do it with a different approach. Gold in every license test including S license lol.

@@TheGamingDefinition I mean, they're both pretty damn terrible. I also love how the early versions of those weirdly tall Mercs would just flip over if you turned the car a lil too hard. Made for some great crash test videos, hahaha Yeah they're pretty damn bad. Keep up the awesome videos, just discovered your channel and love it already! :D

Awesome. I walked away from cod, and fps in general lately. i can't tell you how thrilled to see GT4 i am! I hope you are doing well dude!
I'm imagining how surprised you were to hear cod music in this video regardless
Hopefully you do the extreme events and endurance with no upgrades. Maybe even all the other events and just see how much completion you can get.
Sadly I deleted all the files of me completing the extreme events… This video did really poorly for the first 2 weeks & I assumed nobody was interested 😅😅
Typically a few days later it’s started picking up pace. Fear not, this won’t be the last challenge I do on GT4!
finally something for my nightshift .
It’ll make for a light viewing
Shouldn't you be working on your night shift?
@@Zaubster it is not hard to make kebab sandwiches while watching
@@Zaubsterhe’s probably a night guard or similar. The job tends to have quiet spots

Took the challenge on legit and gave engaging commentary. Cheers!
Never stop using the Rage Racer OST, it's always such a slapper

i like ur use of the Red alert 2 song
I love the soundtrack and the game, glad you enjoyed :)
I love the tomb raider sounds 😂 GT and tomb raider coming together, all that’s left is some metal gear solid noises 😂😂
damn watching this actually makes me want to try gt4 again. this was a treat to watch!
Do it! They have mods for it now that being great QOL changes. Rowdy has videos about them on his GT4 channel
59:46 production cars only. AI proceeds to use multiple concept cars

Shame there are no 1930s Art Deco cars in the game

45:58 is that ford racing 2 soundtrack???
Wow core memories unlock forgot i ever even played this game ,looking forward to more of these or different genres in general
Absolute banger of a game honestly. More like this to come
I’d love a series where you just start playing random games seeing how long it takes for you to be insane at them.
I might not master games, but 100% achievements isn’t necessarily off the cards
@@TheGamingDefinition that would be awesome. You just have so much gaming experience I bet you could learn a game and be entertaining very quick.
I appreciate you think that, only time will tell!!

Thats smile at 57:26
Who doesn't love a good drift? :P
This is an unexpected crossover but I am HERE for this
This is somewhat my style of content moving forward :P
The funniest thing imho is that this is how I've grown to replay all GT games.
great video to watch stoned, the max verstappen pic made me laugh sm an the longer it was there the funnier it got
What if you beat GT4 with only Nitrous Upgrades
Rules:
1. Tire & Suspension upgrades are allowed but no power upgrades
2. You can upgrade your car but only nitrous is allowed
3. Beat the GTWC in order to win this challenge
I didn’t use any upgrades here, allowing upgrades would just make things easier? Or am I missing something
In other words, can you beat the game while playing like 9 year old me?
what a perfect way to kick off the world championship, with the Colin McRae rally opening theme!
can you beat GT 4 while keeping horsepower under 500?
hope this blows up soon. amazing video. i know people are only here for COD or fps stuff, but this is just better IMO since you are having so much fun with it. fps games are draining everyone thats on PC and a content creator. this right here is the shit. keep it up my dude and cant wait for the next vid
The Opel one make championship is gonna be super difficult as the AI cars have more power than the player can achieve from max upgrades...
Let's gooooo! Something to watch alongside the drinks.
What were you sipping on? 👀
@TheGamingDefinition Got some new honey whiskey from a friend yesterday. And I must say, I quiet enjoyed it. Also, the video was a fantastic watch
This brings back my best racing memories on PS3
Usually I never write comments, but your videos took me back to my childhood. I love your Commentary Style, the Editing and the Content itself :) Gave you a Sub (Y)
Wow I didn't think I'd see you doing a challenge for gt4. Just finished watching a masterpiece movie for doing gt4 with no Japanese cars.
DustinEden’s GT4 movie is the best single piece of content I’ve ever seen on the older GT games.
I hope one day I can make a video that’s even half as good as that, but I’ll be hiring an editor to plan that out with if we ever get to that stage
@@TheGamingDefinition yes. It was like a really good racing movie for what they had for characters, editing, and tech.
Had the same glorious cheesy one liners and quips that the classic C&C cutscenes had, was brilliant
Dodge Neon SRT vs Pontiac Sunfire. Legendary battle
Truly a battle of all time
Hong Kong was brutal. Even when I upgraded my cars I struggled with turns 😂
Hong Kong is one of my favourite tracks, but boy does it take a bit of work
Underrated channel
Love your old desk.
Bro got really lucky with the gtwc lineup. No C9 no Minolta, no R92C
Fun fact: In the American only challenge, I raced against the C9 & the Minolta in a Buick Special
Honesty been here for the cod content but this is honestly very appealing to the eye and just different and I love it
Glad to hear it mate, doing my best :)
cars
they exist
they achieve happiness
with the amount of Destruction Derby music in these videos, do you ever plan on doing a video on one of those games?
Gt4. That was the game. Man I wish I had a PS2 and this game still!
You can play it on Pc with an emulator, that’s what I’m doing!
Got lucky with the car roster in the GTWC. Where are the Sauber, Minolta and 92CP?
I'll make sure at least one of them is there for the next playthrough challenge :)
Its like racing the entire game like its mission 34 or even the one make special events( vitz) on gt3😂
Gran Turismo games is only for PlayStation consoles.
This was never in question, but you can play all of them up to 6 on PC thanks to emulators.
Never underestimate the Jensen Intercepter 😁

Nfs heat 1 car challenge. Basically only the starter car
Ah yes, the bootleg DeLorean that predated the DeLorean by eleven years...
I had no idea! You learn something new everyday
nuzlocke? where if you lose u can't use that car again. It would be cool on enthusia
I'm pretty sure doing this game with no upgrades is far easier than GT3. Just buy powerful cars that fit and you should be good. 👌
We shall have to put that to the test!
Es-spree not Es-prit. No hate, just a heads up
Do you own the car? If not, not interested lol
Can you do a tutorial on getting the game running and looking nice, I'm having issues with my install. Text sticking around blocking the gear recommendation and no time differences for time distance between other racers plus cars in the distance turn to pixels.
Rowdy made a fantastic video on this already: ruclips.net/video/BRwJVg6y9xM/видео.htmlsi=bWnhXelgPzXmMP1S
It covers everything you need
That one car you called a nsx was actually a Nissan 300zx
13:34 that's an NSX that pops up in yellow after I pass the checkpoint
Could you finish this challenge with the extreme series?
Sadly I lost the video recordings for this, I might just redo it anyway with the extreme events in mind!
Is it an in joke the way your pronounce esprit? Its Es-Spree
1:28:27 HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Your supposed to upgrade cars? I always played through it with stock cars
Can You Beat Gran Turismo 4 good video
but i am worried do not let polyphony digital of gran turismo 7 and gt sport get wind of this

Ur thumbnail needs to be more recognizable
The skillful driving early on was nice to watch but, ehhh. I would love to see you do it with a different approach.
Gold in every license test including S license lol. And spamming capri rally to buy a 4.5 mil race car for gtwc. Kind of feels against the spirit of this challenge.
THAT SAID....
I'd love to see a challenge run where you beat gt4 with only buying/using cars that have racing stickers on them and no upgrades. (falken rx7, option stream z, the rally car prizes, manufacturer cars etc)
A truck isn't a car so it doesn't count as buying a car. Seems like you'd have no problem setting this up with the required license test cars and it would be a fun route to achieve each of the cars for the required cups.

Went for a nice refreshing bit of rally cross
