@@Lizbeth_Moon The graphics are the exact same, the emulator just gives a cleaner resolution and picture. For component video the ps2 had, these graphics still looked astonishing for it's time.
from PS1 to PS2 is truly a generation leap, i remember getting my jaw drop the first time my friend bought this game and his PS2 from US, the car reflection and the wet road at night is such an eyegasm that day..
This game was perfect. In retrospect, for the time, it was perfect in every way. Soundtrack, graphics, car selection, track selection, single player, and split screen. This game was the Gold standard. Plus, I miss how the third person view isn’t fixed to the car like it is now. This looks more natural and easier to play in third person view (behind car).
wow didn’t think you would be here, anyways you still owe us that civic video because your very serious guide to corvettes video has reached over 80k views at this point.
The sound of the tires screeching on the pavement hitting a turn was enough to transport me back to the middle of my childhood living room, ps2 controller in hand, poptart by my side, enjoying this game on a cold winter Saturday after my big brother got a new PS2 Christmas. God what a time to be alive.
Gran Turismo 3 was the killer game of Sony console ps2. For that matter it has the best quality ever seen in a ps2 game, GT4 will do it better. The rest is history. Still the main product for the franchise PlayStation.
@@Fredsinator Resolution cant upscale textures and 3d models (except gouraud and flat), only the edges. Dont mix resolution with graphics. The game may been less clear, but every piece of enviroment remains the same.
For Christmas 2003, my parents gave me the PS2, my first video game console, and Gran Turismo 3 was the pre-given game... So many good and also harsh memories for that game, but it is worth it !
Still better than most of racing games. What a legend it was. I'm so regretful that i sold my original cased Gt3 game with my PS2 console. Good old memories...
I play this on pcsx2 as well, though I've got a 1050ti so only HD for me, but the upscaling on pcsx2 is really something. I still remember when a friend brought his Ps2 over, I'd been busy and hadn't had much time for gaming, I knew the Ps2 had just dropped, but hadn't seen it yet. My friend stuck on gt3 and I spent a hour just looking through the dealerships, graphics were such a huge jump from ps1, as was the 293mhz cpu. Still the best console ever in my opinion.
It's no question why this racing game was the king in 2001, crystal clear graphics top notch music playability beyond belief and above all a deep feeling for the game.
I remember when the first batch of PS2 coming out and thinking… not much different or better than the Sega Dreamcast. But then this game and others came out (Metal Gear Solid 2)… we knew a game like this proved Sony was not BSing about the PS2’s capabilities. This game is stunning to say the least.
DJ Thanos No seriously!! Look at it! It it looks just as good as 2017 racing game! Yes if you look closely you can see the polygons and some of the backgrounds look a bit old, but if you compare a screenshot from a 2017 game like forza or something, and look at this, it really looks very similar!
As beautiful and complex and detailed as games have become, I don't think anything will surpass the PS2/Xbox era for innovation, excitement and the sheer joy of gaming. I don't want to come across as exclusionary, but this period was peak geek, when being a gamer still felt a bit like being part of a secret society. Or maybe I'm just being nostalgic, dunno...
I remember playing this in our living room. My dad came in and thought he was watching a race on tv. He kept saying, "that guy can't drive." My father was 61 at the time though. He had no idea games looked that good yet.
The graphics even on ps2 were ahead especially by sony made games like gran turismo. But with emulation you are able upscaling games to bring a graphical look between ps3 and ps4. Thats outstanding.
This is great! My second favorite Gran Turismo game. The game does look phanominal still to this day! It sounds awesome as well. I just wish they had classic muscle cars in this one.
The graphics in gran turismo is mind boggling every game... My tv was 720p or 1080p back when we had the ps2... Playing this game at that resolution back then was amazing... Now the new games are exactly real like simulations of reality... 2000p... 3000p.. whatever 4k 8k.. nuts
I love how you have to do tests to get each divison license to move forward in the story. It make you feel more rewarding to drive more higher division car
i will say this, GT4 is a better game overall than GT3,more cars,more things to do,It is a fantastic game,i still play It to this day and it is amazing in every aspect,but GT3 is the most popular game in the series,and for a good reason,its a awesome and overall funnier game,the ost is the best of the franchise by far imo,the cars are better looking, better sounding,idk i may be very well speaking bullshit here but this game holds a very special place in my heart,i never got any longer in terms of progress(not that i remember)in game but the little things make the magic happen,the cars,the races,the ost,the feel,this game was so special,i miss it so much.
At this point, I don't think this game will ever be considered "bad" looking. We are starting to reach a limit on how realistic a game can look, and still, GT3 looks great. I bet it'll still look great in 2050 too.
Such a great game, thanks for sharing! I got a PS2 on launch day, but this was the game that I waited for. One very minor complaint about the video is that the settings during the last 5 seconds of the video are blocked by previews for your other videos.
I remember being 8 years old and playing arcade mode, the Nissan R399 GT1 and Toyota GT one were so incredibly fast, while i was stuck with the red viper. And the Mazda 787b just being impossible to beat. Good times tho
These are absolutely incredible graphics for 2001. The leap from GT2 to GT3 was insane in a span of two years.
To be fair... they are not graphics from 2001 on ps2, they are on a pc emulator which improves them a lot.

Its amazing.
Back in the day this game's graphics blew everybody's socks off.

It still does honestly.
2001 was back in the day to you?
Mrosen7542 it was 17 years ago lol, that is kinda back in the day. I was 15

WHOSE YOUR FRIEND?
Goddamn, still looks amazing almost 18 years later.
I think the resolution mod helps a lot
I dread to think how many hours of my life went into playing this from 2001-2004, so many happy memories though.
I don't mind it was worth it 😛
Same bro. It felt so realistic when you’re a kid
I still have this game right now for PS2, because this one of my favorite games back in the day and I love it!
Same
with midnight club 3
Gran Turismo is the best races for me🙂. I have a series of videos on the YT channel from races on ps5🏁

0:11 this noise gives me chills.... Searched up the game just to find it
Me too
Bro me to had to feel that nostalgic again
Love this game. I use to play it for hours.
Me too
Same. I did the 2 hours oval endurance by putting my chair's leg on the X button and let the car ride the wall till finish while I eat. Lol

I have the North American NTSC version of this game. The 4K quality of this gameplay video is really impressive! Great job!
Wow and I have the one and only North American Copy of this bought in the 2000’s. And even better! The intro starts with a Castrol!
@@503music6 Me too. I prefer the black label of Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec.
Never thought I'd see the day an emulator could run Gran Turismo 3 in 4k at 60FPS without crashing. Looks fantastic.
Automatic for Viper with All Assists on? BLASPHEMY! The Viper doesn't know the existence of such!
Such an Insult for a viper 🤣

but bladed where's the miata
Automatic shouldn't even be an option
It blew mine. My first gran turismo man. My eyes almost get wet
I used to have all gold in all the licenses. All the special unbuyable cars and had every race gold. I was obsessed with this game
I remember playing this as a child all the time. The graphics still look pretty darn good 😆
I opened this game for xmas when I was in Grade 2... I'm 29 now. The nostalgia is kicking in harddddddddd

Use component cables for ps2 or hdmi converter your welcome
@@at-cj2iy tried components shortly after writing this, and it definitely improved the quality even on a 1080p screen!

I didn't know the ps2 could produce such amazing graphics in 2001. I was playing this a few days ago on my ps2.
It cant produce this, they are running on an emulator on PC, which has increased resolution

Whoever did the reflections on the cars for the PS2 is really talented
Remember with this game looked "So Real?!"
This was my after school game for a solid year. With all the cars and customizations and the soundtrack. I was here from 4-7 every day!
For the hardware this game is amazing.
I miss games that weren't broken on day 1
Jaw-droppingly beautiful! Nice to see this in a whole new way, never though it would be possible to experience GT3 in 4K!
First game I saw from PS2. I remember exactly the moment... I only became amazed, with no words.
I remember when my parents got me a PS2 for Christmas when I was a kid. This was the game that came with it, and I wasn't even disappointed.
I remember playing this back in the day and thinking "wow, the graphics look so realistic".
Well, what do you expect? Its GT3
Bruh no better than being a 9 year old opening up your PS2 on Christmas Day in 2001 and having this game be included. These graphics blew me away.
It's hard to believe that this is actually PS2.. Looks super fine even today (2023)
this year 2019 i start playing gt3 for the first time... but on pc
Still better than most of racing games. What a legend it was. I'm so regretful that i sold my original cased Gt3 game with my PS2 console. Good old memories...
cannot believe how good it looks.
This legendary game turns 20 years old today! 🥳
recently got this game again. replaying all the steps. love the nostalgia and still good graphics
I’m thinking about buying another ps2 myself

Is fucking true
This is the most retarded comment I've ever read.
television and cheese
No kidding especially that in some games like Gran Turismo 4 the ps2 has option to output 1080i.
I will always remember tearing shit up in this game while Kickstar My Heart played loud in the background. Such a good soundtrack.
Even by today’s standards this game has quarter decent graphics. Especially compared to games running on modern PCs with low settings.
This game has aged gracefully
I still can't get over the fact that this game is 20 years old.
My grandfather of all people introduced me to the franchise, and this game specifically
The difference in graphics from PS1 to PS2 was light years.
Christ sake the memories with my dad, we used to play this game together all the time

I wouldn't say secret. In 2002, I bet there were plenty of ps nerds in their respective caves having awesome hope for the millennium!
I remember playing this in our living room. My dad came in and thought he was watching a race on tv. He kept saying, "that guy can't drive." My father was 61 at the time though. He had no idea games looked that good yet.

man, GT3 was a HUGE forwards step from GT2 it's unreal.
Best game of the franchise hands down.

Like most titles on or near launch of the ps2, this game absolutely blew my mind
Looks good even 23 years later... makes you wonder if graphics have evolved as fast as we had hoped
Still looks good today
Would love to see this graphical detail on the night track, maybe even special stage route 5 wet, would look super good
so funny to see that all those cars are modern classics today...
I love how you have to do tests to get each divison license to move forward in the story. It make you feel more rewarding to drive more higher division car
This game has less cars than Gran Turismo 2, but graphics are top notch for early PS2 game (released in 2001).
Yep
I used to play this with a controller with only a D Pad
Kyle: *WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!*
Lunatic Dad: Because you don’t flipping listen! There, now got no flipping TV to flipping play your games on!
Serious nostalgia, me and my dad 100% this game

The sounds the music jeez nostalgia overload 😍
20 years later still best grafics than nintendo games lol
This game is gold
What a brilliant game, my fav gt game. its graphics were soo good in 2001 and with pcsx at high res without aliasing it still look really solid.
Two questions:
- What is your PC spec?
- Which PCSX2 settings are you using to achieve this frame rate?
WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO
Me estai lesiando???
i had this game really nostalgic and fun
the ps2 was so underpowered I don't know how polyphony was able to do this

This is awesome! Nice1. I would love to see this game remastered in 4K - just like this but with weather on all tracks, bonus features etc..

Are those straight cut gears like the m3 gtr
Loved that game love playing it on my steam deck even more
Oh man those sounds take me back...
MT SKYLINE GTR R34 / 4x4 / metallic blue , black mags chrome, full set twin turbo damn playing this game all night 😘 I wish I had that PS2 again
It's fucking unbelievable even today that this is made in 2001 Plus with snoop dogg's Dogg Turismo soundtrack 😊
-It's just fucking nostalgic 😏
Is this graphics plugin only usable on PCSX2 Emulators with US (NTSC) bios, or can it be used on PAL ones aswell?
I remember running the F1 cars on that truck just not in that direction, hitting around 53 Seconds per lap. me and a friend had that track down
Hope they'll remaster this game
Tarik 070 your hopes are faded now .they won’t remaster it would cost them to re license the cars and music.
Gran Turismo is the best races for me🙂. I have a series of videos on the YT channel from races on ps5🏁🏎️
Can't believe that was 20 years ago
Menu sounds and music nostalgia 😭
How do you run it in pcsx2 16:9 widescreen without the image stretching and the cars being too wide?
This game aged beautifully
In 2019 this game has aged very well.
