0:49 and 1:01 The crepuscular rays through the trees is a really nice visual touch which is unfortunately paired back in 4 and gone in later iterations.
One of the things that could've been better in this game was having a co driver voice saying the pace notes for each upcoming corner, just like in real life rallying. However, due to the limitations of the PS2 hardware and for being an early PS2 game, I can see why they didn't include it.
@@karelpipa No it wasn't, before GT3 pretty much no game really unlocked PS2's power for real. Almost all PS2 games in 2000 looked more like jacked up PS1 games.
to this day, this is my all time favorite entry of the Gran Turismo series, it had the perfect amount of quality and quantity, and the cars sounded oh so good
I feel like this is where Rally was dare i say more realistic and enjoyable? From GT4 onwards....the amount of oversteer they gave rally cars, I mean yes they should drift in the dirt but its crazy how floaty they feel and the jumps are terrible, feels like car has no weight and can land in the most awkward positions and this is all the way up to GT7 now. Dont get me started on "realism" when a plastic fence is as strong as a concrete wall lol. At least let us make a mistake and get off track, I hate getting corrected by that invincible orange fence.
Unpopular opinion Gran Turismo series lost the mojo since GT3 The game is good and solid, nobody is questioning this but for many people, me included, it was like a Gran Turismo 2 with 60fps and more cars. The series never evolved nor did something crazy like NFS with the Underground Series or Forza with Horizon Series, Polyphony always played in safe mode and despite being the right choice is the reason many people seem to not care about of it. It doesn't matter how engine you can swap, doesn't matter how fast the Tomahawk can go and surely no one cares of that pretentious "cAr cUlTuRe" bullshit Gt7 want us to buy It's too little, too late and it wasn't relevant
Dont forget it ran at 576p not 4K which is many many times higher. ALso many people played PS2 through composite cables which were like 360p. It wasnt boxy on the real CRT TV like here on youtube though.

Why does the GT3 version of Trial Mountain slap so hard, they even removed the tree tunnel in GT7!! WTF Polyphony????
That means gt7 is a bad game
Every way you look at it, Gran Turismo 3 is a masterpiece. It will always be defined as a classic. I loved playing this iconic game growing up.
The best gran Turismo
@@sanmotorix3109 GT3 is a great game. But I like GT2 and GT4 more. Why? Because they have more cars and tracks.

I think its just baked textures. Look8jg good though
Hitting with the nostalgia again c: Rally was so fun in this game !

The Escudo Pikes Peak is still the best car in any racing game in my opinion.
@@pocketstationman6364 I like it better in Gran Turismo 2. It's faster in that game.
Cant imagine how shocked people were witnessing GT3 graphics after GT2
not that much. It looked very good, but that was expected from new HW.
@@karelpipa No it wasn't, before GT3 pretty much no game really unlocked PS2's power for real. Almost all PS2 games in 2000 looked more like jacked up PS1 games.
Man I wish they bring these classic Cars and Race & Rally cars to GT7 real soon with classic rally circuits
I used to play the crap out of GT3 until my progress corrupted right after i got my rally license
I just picked this up for $6 I have so many memories with this game, it started my passion for cars and inspired me to actually get on a track.
I got this super cheap at a comic/retro game shop near me a couple weeks ago, because I skipped 2 and 3 back in the day.
Gran Turismo 3 and 4. Two gems of the 2000s.
to this day, this is my all time favorite entry of the Gran Turismo series, it had the perfect amount of quality and quantity, and the cars sounded oh so good
Nostalgia hits hard
What's the fix for getting the dust to work correctly in PCSX2 and not appear in front of every object?

I never played this game because i never had a PS2, but i will try to play using AetherSX2 emulator for Android.
just make sure you have a really good phone for it though, since GT3/GT4 we're hard to run games on it
Just use a PC?XD
Is GT2 Enhanced!
GT4 is already different new statement!
And don't forget the speedometer glitch of that suzuki car
I miss rlthe old gtr sound

"more cars"
Well. . .you are very wrong on that
i remember when they nerfed the suzuki escudo in this game, good times and the game looks surprisingly good to this day since ps2 era👌
Escudo was a broken car ngl
@@bilolo_locola in gt2 especially, once you get that car, boom instant win lol
The color grading makes this version of Trial Mountain look WAY better than in GT5/GT6.
I totally agree, the newer games seemed to get more dull
it started from GT4. Washed out colors
@@jarvo2007 gt5 is so good wtf
Ain't that a PS2 thing though? MGS was also washed out on PS3.
@@karelpipa But the GT4 version still isn‘t as terrible as 5/6, 5/6 doesn‘t hold up in quality considering on what console it runs on
As a kid I remember being blown away by the "god rays" shining through the trees at Trial Mountain.
This game still looks so good...
The best GT ever made in my opinion…
all your car choices are perfect.
Viper gtsr was better, more work but an epic drive
i just forgot that this game is so freaking old now
2001 I believe.. damn I’m old
@@Scooter227 Yeah, and the graphics of the game looks from 2003.
The xrays from sun coming down from trees. N it runs perfect while on pc u activate that feature n causes peformence drop. Nice for its time very nice
For a game that came out in 2001... the graphics were / still out of this world
Dont forget it ran at 576p not 4K which is many many times higher. ALso many people played PS2 through composite cables which were like 360p. It wasnt boxy on the real CRT TV like here on youtube though.
@noise2signal Only changes the resolution... Not a big deal
0:50 the most beautiful part of this track
PCSX2 settings?
Love this game ❤❤❤
the straight cut gears sounded like increasing turbo boost
I wish I could play this game one last time
Do it?XD
Just emulate it with PCSX2 if you have a PC.
Awesome
My all-time favourite game. I think I will buy another PAL ps2 again with this and gt4
I remember messing around with the F1 car at the Sunday Cup 😁😁😁
remember, i like GT3 Forever
Better than gt7
It’s not better than gt7 but it is a classic tho
@@bigace3122 is betther, gt7 suck.
This was my first Grand Tarismo
now its Grind Turismo
This is the most beautiful Gran Turismo, but also the hardest one. I still didn't finished the campaign
