Hell, it's still very impressive IMO, of course it's not a match for the current GT games, but thinking that this was 2001 and it's on ps2, I'm impressed that they managed to make it look as authentic as it does. I mean things like the lens glare from the headlights are simple but they still look more authentic than what I've seen on even some current games, and the game runs smoothly.
Kevin Traberg Yeah I mean it looks like most of the effort in terms of details was put into the car models themselves which is fine because they are the main feature of the game but I do remember getting this game on the day it came out and being impressed by all the lighting and how a lot of the tracks look too. Trial mountain coming out of the tunnel into where the sunlight shined through the trees onto the road and showing the shadows on your car looked very very impressive especially back in the days and the special stage route levels also looked really really good with the building lights and stuff. Another thing I was very impressed with at the time, I'm pretty sure that this was the first game I saw to have heat wave effects. They looked really good too! Something interesting though. I looked at GT6 and I think the Trial Mountain in that doesn't actually look as impressive as GT3 which is a real shame especially when its a generation up! It's like they got lazy with the track details.. Honestly this was probably easily one of my favorite racing games that I ever played. This intro kicked so much ass and showed off the graphical details for the first time I inserted this game very very well! My Ridge Racer 5 copy was about to get dumped real quick :D
I know what you mean but lazy might not be the word, usually with new games you would want to do as much as possible graphically and add many features to make the game stand out from past games, I also imagine that through the years they might have changed staff, old ones fired and new ones hired, each one with their own vision of what looks authentic. A track that really stands out graphically in the newer games, I don't remember what it's called, it's the one where you speed back and forth on a massive freeway going through a very long tunnel, I really love how the lighting and shadows in that track look in GT5 (it's the only GT I got for my ps3), especially in first person mode, it really feels like you're speeding through a tunnel during night. When it comes to graphics I personally always will find Gran Turismo to be the most impressive game series.
it's not just you so don't worry , we all miss thos days , we grow up with the ps1 and the ps2 the best gaming consoles ever , i know games this gen sucks but i am sure there is few good games be sure to trye them out :) and don't forget to stay positive nostalgia won't help anyone move on , wow how did you beat the endurance race ?
with b-spec mode on endurance races, i don't remember this mode anymore,but this mode very helpful to speed up the race 3 times faster, all you need to do are just wait for pit plan on the race monitor till the race end. thats why i can beat the endurance races..(sorry for bad english)
i have 0 b-spec skills i always race my self , i tried b-spec mod a lot of times but i lose always , i didn't find any way to improve it , and nah don't worry i am not the people who complain about grammer and all the silly stuff , not everyne is a native english speaker so is me
Holy crap 15 years ago i played this game for the first time. Well don't i have a story to tell you all! I was only 5 years old and i got a PS2 for my birthday. I was not allowed to play any games by myself so i was always watched by an adult, even though i was playing G rated games. One day my parents where outside having a smoke and i was wondering around the house looking for something to do, So decided to play the PS2. I didn't know what to play as i was only 5 so i had no idea what game was which. Then i found it a, a funny looking cover with a strange logo on it. So intrigued, i put the disk in the PS2 and waited for the game to load. Then this AWESOME game intro blew me away. After the intro i was right into playing this game. And that was the day i found out i was a petrol head and a gamer. Gran turismo 3 is still by far my favorite game of all time!
Skyline with stage 3 tuning, 'port polish' and racing chip. Smashing Grand Valley circuit... Life doesn't get any better as a 9 year old! Such memories!
I burst into tears after just one minute and twenty seconds of this. That segment probably is the reason I've always been obsessed with cars and engines
People, my first Ps2 game, what else can i say? It made me like what im right now, just a mechanic loving all cars, bikes and videogames. Life is easy, people complicates it.

I love this song so much that I listen to the regular version, the live version, the official video version, the low mp3 quality version and then come to watch this video to round it off and suck the maximum out of it. What an awesome fucking tune, will never get sick of it!!
I extremely miss Smokey mountains I always raced in arcade witte the xsara against the impreza or the Lancer... Midfield raceway was amazing but in my opinion Smokey mountains broke the barrier...
Oh the feels, the nostalgia, the memories, the song... THIS GAME WAS MY SHIT BACK THEN, AND IT'S GRAPHICS STILL LOOK STUNNING AND IMPRESSIVE TODAY!!! ^_^
While the Gran Turismo series still continues to be great to this day with fantastic visuals. Gran Turismo 3 will still forever be their concord moment and this intro sealed it as something of epic proportions. This came at a time when this sort of detail was unheard off. There really was nothing like it back then. These days realistic graphics are so common we almost take them for granted. It would be a long time coming for anything to be quite as ground-breaking as this. :D
My favourite game ever made. GT3 is so awesome and is my childhood game because when I were little I put so many hours into this masterpiece and I'm glad I have a PS2 to play GT3. I can say that this game is my bitch
Me and my brother andsome friends sitting in a converted shed at the bottom of my garden, hotboxing, arguing over who is sitting on the burst bean bag couch, playing gt3 till 5 in the morning, not a care in the world. Jesus i miss it so much
Gives me goosebumps, almost makes me tear up to think about this game Literally remember seeing this intro for the first time, what I'd do to be back at my parents house playing this game until my mum shouts at me to get off it. Still got my old memory card with my trusty MX-5 starting car
fun fact: i was pretty high few days ago, and i just randomly humm random songs, until i hummed just a day, and i instantly got hit with nostalgia, makes me remember the times i miss old gaming...
i was 6 years old when i played this game first, was able to play it thanks to my older brother, i was amazed by the graphics and gameplay, i loved the corvette mazda 787b and ford gt the most. it was a incredible time and now i sit here 16 years later watch this video and all the memories come back :') i still love motorsport and cars today, maybe because of this game. (i played gt3 gt4 gt5 and now gt sport)
Even after all these years that’s still an iconic song and video sequence that goes together so well. Haven’t played GT since 3. GT7 is coming home today for a grand playing like it was 20 years ago. Time to pull the dust covers off
2023 and this game still looks and sounds epic! I remember this in 2001 and I genuinely thought at the time there was no way anything could look or feel better!
My love of cars/motorsports started with this game. I was 7 when this came out. Spent hours upon hours playing after school. Now at the age of 29, I have a sim rig and Racing games are still my ultimate passion.
Thanks for uploading it...still one of the coolest intros, and one of the best games....Really can not decide if this, or the GT2 intro with "Cardigans" is the best :)
when i get my ps3 back im starting my gt5 career again by immedietly putting all the gt3 songs on there, best song selection ever on a racing game i think =)
Got this for my 7th Christmas, I believe. Absolutely loved it. I remember my dad getting addicted to it. He would come home on a Friday and be on it all night!
Great starting up this song as I am driving on the Tokyo 246 track with my 787B. Monday 23:12 18 February 2019 ( Also you guys should try to play this game with a hdmi converter it makes the game look really nice)
Oh and as I'm listening to this I'm gonna drive my modded Supra, same as in the intro, and it's really great I gave it really amazing handling and pretty good straight line speed.
i started playing this game sins i was 5 years old, now im 14 years old and its still my favorite game of all time and i still have my old working ps2 and gran turismo 3
I actually beat this whole game arcade all liscenses and simulation I still can't believe I actually beat it... All that time and effort. GT3 so many memories :-).
i watch the video... went to the basement and started adventure to find my PS2 with GT3... found it after 2 weeks and played for 3 monts...best ps2 game ever...
this was the first racing game I ever ever ever ever played, now I miss it so much, hope they remaster it and release it on Xbox 360 and the Playstation's so everyone can experience the nostalgic feel that I miss from this game!
Before this game I just liked cars and motorsport, after this game I wanted to make my entire life about it, and I did. You don’t get that with any other game I feel.
How can you not love cars after playing this game?
I don't know, only monster can hate cars.
You simply can't, more people need to see this and play the good old Granturismo games.
Niels Vantilburg . I wish the next PS console was backwards compatible 😭😭
Larry The Looter i would pay 1000 dollars for gt3 in 4k
Tolga Karakaya .That would be fucken brilliant dude, all the old music and sounds too👍👍👍🍺😂🤪
These graphics REALLY REALLY were something when this game first came out!

I remember deleting my Dad’s save file when I was about 4 he hasn’t looked at me the same way since
I’ve done the exact same to my dad but on medal of honour rising sun. But recently I completed the game for him but it just wasn’t the same
I remember selling all his cars and buying tonnes of pt cruisers
Surprised you’re still alive 😀
As a 49 year old I know exactly how your dad feels..that’s why I’ve no kids lol Grand Turismo 7 now baby 2022 x
I accidently did that to my dad's grant theft auto San Andreas save files. I will never forgive myself

Port polish is actually a thing, polishing the inlet ports reduces the drag of the air/exhaust gasses in the chamber.
This game still has the best replays to this day!
Ah, the hours and hours I've spent on GT3... to this day, I listen to Just a Day and other GT3 songs while driving, forever in my heart
23 years later and this still gives me goosebumps
Tears of nostalgia
The time spent playing this game growing up. It speaks for itself since I always think of this song every damn year.

Ah days with the Mazda 787B and other awesome cars! I will never forget it
Lightning Farron loved that car took me ages to get the s licenses just to do it
R390 and Toyota gt one 🎉
I burst into tears after just one minute and twenty seconds of this.
That segment probably is the reason I've always been obsessed with cars and engines
Back when the Nissan 350Z was a concept car! Bloody hell!
And the Dodge Viper which is now only a mere GR 3 car
I feel so old yet I'm so young at the same time
Dam that makes me old then 🤣
There is something about this game, it just makes you love it
People, my first Ps2 game, what else can i say? It made me like what im right now, just a mechanic loving all cars, bikes and videogames.

Seeing these graphics in early 2000s 🤯🤯.
What a song as well damn.
So nostalgic it hurts!! I can remember being blown away by these graphics back in 2001.
same bro, same.
I love this song so much that I listen to the regular version, the live version, the official video version, the low mp3 quality version and then come to watch this video to round it off and suck the maximum out of it. What an awesome fucking tune, will never get sick of it!!
I really miss Midfield Raceway.
I loved the bit where you go past them two chicanes reall fast on midfield.
I extremely miss Smokey mountains I always raced in arcade witte the xsara against the impreza or the Lancer... Midfield raceway was amazing but in my opinion Smokey mountains broke the barrier...
I miss Special Stage R11
Laguna seca
Trial Mountain and Super speedway
The best GT3 intro imo
Agree even the Japanese version sorry Are You Gonna Go My Way
Oh the feels, the nostalgia, the memories, the song... THIS GAME WAS MY SHIT BACK THEN, AND IT'S GRAPHICS STILL LOOK STUNNING AND IMPRESSIVE TODAY!!! ^_^
This game is a masterpiece. I will never forget Gran Turismo 3.
What regional version of this game can this version of this cutscene be found in? This song sounds cool!
Europe. The song is 'Just a Day' by Feeder. They're the most underrated band around by quite a distance, they have tonnes of material now as well.
ruclips.net/video/3wzqGI_4fIM/видео.html
Thanks for the information! I was just curious.
I have this In my copy in Australia
Europe. More so UK
That will be the best and nostalgic intro of a videogame ever and forever
I used to go on the game sometimes just to watch this
So much memories. Playing this with my dad. ❤️
Hell yea bro. I woke on Sunday morning as a 9 year old and my dad and I took turns on one of the Endurance races, 20 laps each turn.
Remember the Mazda 787B?!
My favourite ever car
HugoFloss of course I do!! :P
Still my favourite... just the noise it makes is so satisfying.
My favourite car in the game (although I had tonnes of fun with the fully tuned Pikes Peak on the rally stages haha)

I CANNOT HANDLE THE NOSTALGIA
