The worst prize cars are: -Cars that you could simply purchase at the dealer, without a special color or anything. -Cars that can't be sold for credits.
Let's br the Miata in gt3 is a exception cuz you can not only use it for the mx5 endurance race but you get a extra 10 horsepower, add hard tires to it and you'll get a easy win cuz of less pitstops compared to the rest of the field
@@Mechaxthemaskedgamer The extra horsepower is because most prize cars come with their engines already broken in. Anyways, the funny thing about the Miata prize cars in GT3 is that most of them *are* special cars. You can't tell because the game didn't bother to give them different display names, but if you check the internal labels, many of them are special edition models from various years.
Don't tell anyone, but I heard the prize car for winning the Le Mnas 24 hours in Gran Turismo 8 will be a silver Daihatsu Coupen. Oh yeah, but it comes with a cone, so I guess it's not that bad eh!
@noggin6870 yeah sure especially with that interior view but as a F1 championship prize it's a ironic joke just because it's "open wheel" the white F1 mclaren race car would've be at least generous when u consider it's more rare in the used lot and far more expensive but classic PD doesn't like passing up a good joke I guess
In GT5, the B-Spec NR-A roadster cup, which is a 10 lap MX5 race at Tsukuba, has the Mazda Furai as a price car. It's an extremely light 509 hp concept car based on a LMP2 chassis. If tuned, it can be competitive against Group C and LMP cars. An insane reward for an amateur league lvl 6 race.
On GT7, I went a week with just 3k-10k rewards on all lf my tickets. Then suddenly I got the Nismo LMP1 and Audi R18 TDI within an hour of each other 💀
I feel like a lot of the redundancy for prize cars could have been quashed by making it so that certain events act as gateways into a new tier of license events. Like "Hey, you just got the Int. A License, here are some events where we will loan you a car to use, and winning will grant you that car, so that we can make sure you have something that can compete in at least one event at this level."
Having just played through the game again a few days ago, HI-FI still blew my mind. It's just so damn smooth, i'd choose the way it looks and feels over any modern game running at 165+fps
You missed the coolest part about the AE86 won from the Hard-tuned Car Speed Contest in Gran Turismo, the wheels! Back in GT1 you couldn't change the wheels either, so winning a panda trueno with the initial d wheels on it is very cool, since the car couldn't be bought with those wheels elsewhere.
@@PUDRETE919 yeah, there are a LOT of hungarian words and expressions that originate from the german language. Sadly as time goes on, many of them slowly start to dissappear. Only older people use them, or know what they mean even.
I always loved getting the black Castrol Supra, it was so much cooler than the white version. And I think if memory serves, there were two subtle differences in them, in that one had green detailing and the other had blue but I might be wrong; it's been twenty or so years!
Well-presented as always, nicely done. Something that might have been worth mentioning is how GT3's prize cars come with fully broken-in engines, giving them a 3% power boost over the dealership variants (which needs to be driven for 300km for the engine to fully break in). This makes it a viable opening strat to buy an AE86, enter Sunday Cup, get the prize car, then sell the one you bought and tune the prize car instead. Considering how tight GT3's early game is, the small power boost can make a difference in difficult events like 80's Car Cup. A nice little detail that encourages the player to use prize cars, on top of the special colours they often come in. It still feels bad to spend credits tuning an Elise for Elise Trophy only to get a stock one in return though, yeah.
what sucks about the special color cars in gt4 is that you literally dont unlock the color for arcade mode like the cars themselves, like come on, i won that gold aston, let me use it without glitches
@@KikuraKuni ever used that Mazda Furai (Kanan Matsuura's Gran Turismo 5 favourite car) in GT5 and somehow easily won Like the Wind event and got Minolta 88C-V from Setsuna Yuki. I also ever won Like The Wind Indianapolis Oval Race by just 0.075 seconds against Ayumu Uehara's Sauber C9!
I akways prefered getting the useless stuff from the special events, because 2CV, Typ 1200, Motorwagen or Model T are all cool to own, but getting them from a championship feels like I am being screwed over; I generally dislike that GT never tells you what you will get, no the amount of money you win, the cars you can/will win, if you go in blind, it is very easy to just feel screwed over time and time again
I've been binge watching your stuff AGAIN and it's been enough to make me want to dive into Gran Turismo properly now. My PS2 has been sitting in dust until I can get it working, but I want to experience this for myself
I remember how hard the Suzuki swift races in gt4 are where you win the Suzuki Car that is powered by a bike engine. At that point in my playthrough i was saving up on Credits... therefore my swift was barely tuned.
A similar prize car sin in GT4 was the Suzuki one-make race when the only obtainable Suzuki up to that race is the swift and have to beat the much more superior Suzuki concept roadster, so you had to specifically tune the swift and pull out all the tricks to win - just to win that roadster, which isn’t that valuable given the crazy amount of Japanese cars you earn and buy that are better value. Also, not a prize car but having the caterham be purchasable but not usable in any events is very lame.
Gran Turismo 3 > Tuscan Challenge > save before last race > try to get the Cerbera Speed 12 (why isn‘t it in GT7 yet?) > use it for Like The Wind > easy 787B I know, those are really good prize cars, but I‘m still disappointed in GT7.
I think there's a bellcurve here where the useless, but cool prize cars for some of the really hard accomplishment actually make a ton of sense for things nearing the end of the game. The most useful cars should come somewhere in the middle of a run where people get them while they still need them, and they're also attainable for casual players. Think about it; for one, if you're that good, or that far along in the game, it is basically impossible for the developers to guess what it is you actually need still (if anything) since it's going to be highly player dependent unless they simply prevent you from obtaining cars that are needed for the late game events through any other means, so giving out the fun stuff that's unobtainable otherwise keeps everyone at least a little happy, but more importantly 2: they don't want to anger a bunch of people by rendering some of the most useful and fun cars in the game unobtainable for people who aren't that good or aren't willing to invest a massive amount of time into the game. Imagine how infuriating it would be to need to gold the S licenses in GT4 or get the last one lap magic in order to get the Formula Gran Turismo. That would just put a massive, potentially insurmountable roadblock in the way of many average players, it makes no sense.
Two things are the worse. Price cars at special limited time events(GT6) and cars that you basically needed to complete their event and you already bought just to win that event and get the car you bought. GT3 annoyed me to hell about that because other than my initial car I like trying to complete the game with just cars I win but GT3 made it impossible by not giving me a car I can do some events.
Funny how you use the F1 car considering the only way to win the FGT is to win the 24 hours of Nürburgring. Or if you're playing the NTSC-J version of the game, you win the Formula GT World Championship. Which is 4,500km long total.
It reminds me that in GT5 for doing level 9 Roadster Cup on B-spec, you were getting Mazda Furai Concept Seems innocent enough, but this car was capable of beating level 22 Super GT races with little to no sweat
Yes true. Same goes for winning Tempest LeMans GTO again after winning GT NASCAR CUP in GT5 and GSX-R/4 after beating Formula GT in B SPEC! It also cant be sold at all!
So ive been stuck in bed sick as a dog these last few days watching RUclips and happened across this channel. Been getting really nostalgic about good ol GT, so much so that i was compelled to drag out my g29 and try to fix it. Got it cheap off gumtree years ago but it never worked..... untill now! The ps3-ps4 toggle switch on top is to blame and is like the 'Achilles heal' of g29's. Its a really common issue with them. Since fixing it, I've fired up gtsport for first time in years and been happily punting around my favourite tracks to get up to speed again! I'll never play GT with a controller again! Thanks roflwaffle for the inspiration and great content. Keep it up man 🤘
20:30 The 2000's Toyota Celica is one of my all-time favorite cars, & *the last Celica ever created.* For the countless variations of Skylines, Civics & other Japanese legacy vehicles, I'm still gutted with every new GT game or update that includes another meaningless Japanese stock car while the Celica remains oddly forgotten. It may have been useless in the last game it was in, *but so are 94% of the variations of cars in GT Sport & GT Sport 1.2* (i.e., GT7).
On the topic of one-make races, In GT2, most one-make race doesnt give you prize car either. While on GT2 Plus Mod by Pez2k, some National Championship could give prize cars where some of them are cars with unique colors from GT1 or D-Rights' cars (Miata and Silvia S15)
4:00 Toyota just wanted to have German designations at that time. It's really exotic for them, I guess. There are also cars named 'Platz' (=place; flat space) and 'Raum' (=room; cubic space). Both cars weren't sold in Europe and especially not in Germany, Swiss or Austria. Those names would be a little bit weird and so I also like to have a Yaris instead of a Vitz here.
@@deanchur Yeah, that also falls in this time. If I'm not wrong the first gen Yaris/Vitz was developed in Europe to meet the taste of the European market.
Whilst i csn fully understand your point regarding GT2 prize cars, i love the unique models such as the Tom's T020. So rare in games and having seen a real one, it felt special to me.
Yes! GT2 was such an education in the amazing variety of neat niche Japanese cars of which we in the US would otherwise be unaware. The Angel T01 was a joy, and as an MR2 enthusiast at the time I loved the opportunity to “drive” a T020, TRD2000GT and MR Spyder.
21:15 Yes, GT6 has the most cars featured in a single racing game. Or rather most unique car models, Top Drives has 3000 cars but they are static pictures on cards. IGCD has a list of the games with the most featured vehicles.
WTF is going with GT7 right now ??? Forza is launching, and PD cant give us solid cars or new track after 8 months ?? Also Sport servers are still broken....
7:02 I saved up credits for months to get the 20m I needed for the McLaren F1... *which is inherently worthless in GT Sport 1.2* (i.e., GT7). Now I'm paranoid about even spending 1m credits so I just sit there in one of my 18 Civics & cry in VR.
I grinded the game for a whole year (almost) isn´t healthy but i got every single car in game and i´m sitting on 30 mil to spare, i grinded Le Mans and SPA 1 hours for very long months it take that time because of work and such, GT7 is a dissapoint as an GT game but plays best than ever was.
I honestly like how GT2 seems to give out more random cars as prizes, as it has less of a problem of winning the same useless car you used for the races. Some of the prizes still do make 0 sense
Main issue in gt5 is trying to beat all events now that the servers are gone. To get a Formula Gran Turismo I had to reset the used car dealer over and over for it because it was supposed to be purchased through the online part. Tho game is low-key good
Yeah I think the reason why they say that it's bad is because it was overhyped. I started playing GT5 in 2018 after I played Sport on my friend's PS4 And since I had no bias, or anything like that, I enjoyed GT5. And more than 6 too
5:20 Playing GT4 for the first time right now, I feel this pain. Not only are 3 of them concept cars, the Prowler is considered a "special car" and can't be used ANYWHERE. Then there's the completely useless Sunfire concept and near-useless Kusabi from the license tests.
just found this channel and i love what I see, also i love the slim cognito eyes from Ratchet and Clank Going Commando for the channel Pfp, keep up the amazing work
I think that the worst prize car in GT4 is the Jensen Interceptor MkIII '74, because you need to get gold on all 16 IB license tests, which can be very difficult and time consuming, for a car that can be bought used and is already available at the arcade mode.
Me and Coco Hayashi also ever only got the same Jensen Interceptor MKIII for winning even GT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP via GT Randomizer. I also use the name "Genjitsu no Yohane" on the GT4 RANDOMIZER.
This is my main issue with GT7... everything else aside? Imagine getting a roulette ticket, and "winning" a part for a car you don't have or the "invitation" to come buy an exclusive car? The invitation thing definitely rubs me the wrong way because it doesn't really feel "exclusive", it just feels like another way to stretch out play time and content when you have to randomly win the OPPORTUNITY to buy an exclusive car.
While i do wish GT2 had a used car dealership for the other regions, i wouldn't want to replace over 10 cars in the game to make that happen. GT2 was (for me) an introduction to just how many absolutely amazing cars japan made. Up to that point in my life my only irl experience with a Honda was an 86 accord my mom had that smoked like crazy. I guess that's on me that i feel that way but i love that GT2 had such an incredibly stacked roster of Japanese cars to discover.
The only time I've ever rolled my eyes at a prize car in Gran Turismo was when I was a kid, with the '54 Corvette C1 you win for one of the longer American Championships in GT4. I didn't know back then it'd probably be a decent car for the classic events if tuned up a bit, but it was still a bit of a let-down after going up against American race cars.
Love you vids and this one I really enjoyed would like to see it from the other perspective now thou and the prize cars that really helped or opened the game like the speed 12 in gt2 or the concept car from gt1
I got through 18 hours of the Le Mans 24 in GT4. I would play a couple hours per day and leave it paused, coming back the next day. I come home from school one day, noticing the microwave had “reset” on the display. Huh, the power must have gone out for a se-… oh shit. I never attempted it again.
With the GT7 info prize ticket you gave out the link, I can finally know why my luck is suck, is the percent chances rate that I never knew about it. I saved up to 20 tickets just to hope to get big credit or cars but all I got is 5k credits to 30K, on 6 star however the last prize car I got is VGT EVO.... which it looked like Eclipse Cross Family SUV but race version... Oh well maybe one day someone can tune it up and make it look exactly like that. There are other prize cars from online content which I hardly remember from GT5 back then I played but in GT7 I remember most of it so far, the extra menu collection, the online content and well I guess that's it. You'll get for going Porsche esport time trial event for 3 cars with custom color style and including 917 yes that one thank god it saved my 18 million credits to grind. I hope it does that more often with each monthly update content comes, speaking of, I don't think you never done a update content video before, maybe you should research and check it out the through out the history back then? I heard GT Sport got more cool update then GT7.
I think there could have been some improvements to the prize car system in GT2 and GT3, especially in terms of aiding in progression. For GT2, all those Mugen vehicles sold for a few thousand credits, hardly worth the time and energy it took to earn them. I don't know how much of the game's rushed state led them to just throwing any old car into the mix as a prize, but as you mentioned, some of them don't make sense. If you look at how the game distributes its progression (where you need multiple licenses to enter the single races, as opposed to an entire series being restricted to a specific license as in the other games), it hints that it wants you to use multiple vehicles for each race, or at the very least, to upgrade the car you decide to enter. Take the rally races, for example. There are a couple of events that require the standard A License, while others require an IB License. It should have been recommended that the A License events be entered with a road car equipped with rally tyres, but the IB License could have had a rally car as its all-gold prize, given that many of the trials found within practice techniques exclusive to dirt driving. You could have then used that car as a gateway to the IB License rally events. As for GT3, many of its problems in the early game involve redundant prizes. Out of all the cars you can afford with your 18,000 starter credits, the best options generally fall down to either a Toyota Sprinter or a Mazda MX-5 (Miata). Both of these cars are won as prizes from the Sunday Cup and Clubman Cup events, respectively. A similar phenomenon occurs revolving around the Lightweight K Cup series. Your only options to enter that series are the Daihatsu Cuore (Mira) or Suzuki Alto Works (the Mini Cooper is awarded as a prize for winning the series, so it effectively doesn't count). You can buy them at the start and have enough to buy a turbo upgrade, but that makes their appearances as prize cars in the 4WD Challenge and the Turbo race series pointless. Or you can enter those races first and win the prize cars, but at least one of them is not required, and you need a car quick enough to beat them, anyway.
I played GT7 and got around 8 or so price spins yet, yes I'm not super far into ghe game. Point is, i only won more than the absolute minimum (5000cr) ONCE. And then I hot the second lowest price. And it might not be sequence breaking, but if a game wants me to eff off and go back to other games so hard then I oblidged and I did so.
I've recently just committed to a 100% run of gt3. I did the Elise challenge in the pro league with a suped up 190. I didn't save state because I thought the reward would just be a single special color Elise. Imagine my pain when I won an Elise in the exact same color I was using to win the championship. I immediately sold it out of spite asdfghjkl
The most frustrating point to me is the colors of the license prize cars-once you obtained and you must live with it. But what if you want more than one color to add for your collection? Or in the case of PS1, want to have one more to do the heavy-lifting?
EDIT: People often seem to forget that game exists at all... and that you literally can't win a single car in the entire game. and buying cars is a massive grind. a 99 lap race of test course on hardest difficulty with no assists... you'd get just over a million credits *if* you win.
Unpopular opinion: The 1st underwhelming (not useless) prize car that I'd never forget for me is Stratos from GT2 Apricot Hill endurance, funnily enough Stratos is actually a proper prize car for that race, however the Denso Sard Supra blew it out of the water. Giving out race cars from road car races is kinda bad imo.
No, I think awarding race cars from road car events is a bad thing unless they're difficult. Not a fan of the Minolta 88C-V being stupid easy to obtain, and GT3's earlier Amateur League events had some very busted prizes like the Camaro LM and Vertigo Race Car.
I considered the HD mode of GT2 to be highly impressive at the time, for the higher resolution it provided. Yea, they had to cut a lot of things out (limited tracks, no AI cars, etc.) to make it work, but to see the tracks and cars you could play as in the higher def was, at the time, pretty spectacular.
4:01 this is just a thing that Japanese car companies do, I guess. The Yaris is the Vitz, the Mazda 6 is the Atenza, the Mazda 2 is the Demio, the Acura RSX is the gen 4 Integra, the Infiniti G35 is... a Skyline.

Ah yes, the birthday gift :) Forgive me for chuckling. 1970 genX here. ‘70 was a baaaaad year apparently, I got a Chevelle every time, where one was quite enough. ‘Ah, socks again! Nice. Thanks, granny!’ And now the Chevelle isn’t there anymore and I miss it. My lumpy but loyal bruiser…
Being surprised after getting a genuinely good prize/prize car from the gt7 roulette tickets is so true! I got the aston martin v8 vantage gr3 or smth like that from i think a 6 star and i was in awe. It's not an amazing car, but i have around 300 miles on it and use it for 30 mins 700 pp le mans races and have won almost every one ive done with it. I've gotten a lot of other really good ones from roulettes, but that's one that stands out to me
I’ve always had a Fiat Panda mkl as a sleeper. All in black, 177hp maxed out, it did quite well and looked menacing. So now I’ve switched to the Autobianchi. Still waiting for the Innocenti De Tomaso… But what about a Zastava Yugo with bodykit and swapped engine?
What I experienced when I was 7, the first time I won the GT world championship in GT1, I'd be happy with whatever prize car the games gives me, I'll find some use out of them
tbh I understand that bad prizes its what makes a good prize to become good. The thing that I most dont like in Forza (especially horizon ones) its how easy good prizes are.
Gran turismo 3, professional all star championship, rewards could been, R390 GT1 Race Car, Toyota GT-one TS020, Viper GTS-R concept, and my favorite Impreza WRX ( in special color). When I did that race, guess which prize car I got .
omg I forgot about the GT1 60fps special races... I didn't quite understand it then, I was like... 10 playing it, but I do remember thinking these races are faster and even tho I did not understand what's happening at all I did like them a lot. I never really came back to GT1, after GT2 I felt no desire to. Thank you for reminding me.
My favourite was always the (i think) grand valley endurance in gt2. You could win an Altezza LM or i think Impreza rally car. Fine and dandy BUT the altezza was offered in like 7 colours whereas the impreza was offered in two so i remember doing that race, which is one of the longest in the entire game, over and over again and just getting the same car over and over and over again. Super frustrating
gt3 is a giant meme in termes of prize cars beginner amateure altezza you get the altezza professional aletzza you get the race car which is kinda cool but you most likely already have much better race cars
It has been tested and Proven that GT7 ticket Roulette system was preset to give the worst prizes for a 3 Star ticket, and the best (or close to the best ) for a 6 star (current version of Gran Turismo 7 does not have 1 or 2 star tickets). If you have a 3 star ticket, chances of you getting a good prize is extremely rare (you can ger the crappiest of prizes, such as unusable parts that cannot be sold, to credits as low as $2,000). On the flip side, 6 star tickets can give you great prizes at a higher probability (such as racing spec cars or even $1,000,000). There are the in betweens. 4 and 5 star tickets may shaft you with low credits and crappy parts (again, cannot be sold). 6 star parts tickets are fundamentally useless, however 6 star car tickets are always excellent, as if you get a high wnd car that ypu already have, you can sell it at a high price.
Toyota Triathlon race car can be only competed with another AI car if you're played Japanese version. Meanwhile, the US version seems doesn't allow this special kind of car to compete with AI drivers.
I remember in GT5 there was this Nissan 370Z Tuned car that could only be won as a random prize car from a level 12 ticket or a 1000 ticket. There was no other way of getting that car
The worst thing about GT2's tuner prize cars are just how useless or crap some of them are. Most of the Mugen cars immediately spring to mind (except the EK9 Civic and DC2 Integra, they were pretty rapid when tuned, and faster than the Spoon equivalents), as does the Nismo 270R, which in the base game wasn't even allowed to be used in the S-chassis race along with the Sileighty (I believe this was fixed in GT2+ and the A-spec mod, better late than never). Think the absolute worst of the worst though is the Tom's T111. A dull, dreary yellow AE101 Corolla that other than a 6 speed box, really doesn't stand out at all as an FWD car, not when there are GT300s and Super Touring cars. Even my favourite TRD Chaser X30 is pretty limited in usefulness, although it's a solid choice for the turbocharged car cup. It's also the only 1JZ car that's able to be tuned to have a decent amount of power.
I personally find that ridicolously slow cars are one of the coolest feature of GT franchise, if you want to ride a F1 car, already at time of GT3 was available F1C on PC, nothing exceptional today, but surely already satisfies a lot much in that, GT is for standard cars, then becomes great jumping on a Beetle at Città di Aria or a racecar sticked to the ground
Pricecars are nice but Sony never figured out how to make them random, it took 20 years a nd a Randomizer mod to make GT4 alot more interesting in that regard. Dont throw stones at me but I like a selection of price cars to choose from ( like Forza Motorsport 4) much better than just one hard coded ride. With 700+ cars in a game surely a selection can be made after winning " generic" races. Special should have their respective cars tho that make sense in the later progression. Iam playing GT6 right now and it still baffles me that a game with with 1300 cars in it couldnt make up a selection of shopping carst from around the world but instead forced me to buy a Honda Fit at the start :(
Never understood why I did not get to choose my started car, I love that FM4 offers you like 6 Econo-Boxes from around the globe and one gets to choose which one you wanna spend the first few hours with, I still have my VW Fox on my original FM4 safe and its the first car I see when I go into the garage so it always floods me with fond memories where I started; I sold that Fit just to spit the developer the first chance I got
Winning an F1 car in GT3 was totally game breaking. Winning the gulf gt40 in gt2 was less game breaking but more fun. Don't know if you cover this but prize cars come with better stats than their purchased counterparts in gt3
@@Giratina575 I'd literally have to pull out the game again. It's been well over a decade since I played it. Just win one of the race cars you can buy, then buy the same one and compare. I believe it's horsepower.
The part in GT2 about only receive japanese prize cars, for me, it was for a point of view of a person in Japan, not in a fictional city anywhere in the world, that's why there's the city divisions and that's why there's no used cars for foreign cars. In GT4 that makes much more sense, tho.
I just watched Gran turismo the movie and it was AWESOME I had so many memories flooding in my brain again I even cried when I heard the beautiful music and the engine sounds oh man that was great when the movie was over I walked to my car where I parked in the Multi Story carpark and I had this moment where I stood still and just admired my car (Subaru Legacy 3.0R) in black. ❤❤
I loved this mechanic of GT, prize cars are kinda a flagship of the series, sure the randomness will infuriate or will please, in GT7 is just Sport mode aka E sports and a big middle finger to every single GT single player, every now and then i boot up my PS2 and do playtrough of any GTs 1 to 4, 5 i barely play, 6 even less, 7 i played the recent update, beat it in under an hour now just continue life as usual until next update, i miss the grind of Costa D´Amalfi of GT4 grinding for hours to get the exclusive black LMP´s of the used dealers of GT4 and just once i did the 100% playtrough on GT4 to get the all black F1.
Even though it wasnt great seeing the 360 or the Kubelwagen appear in GT5, winning either at least gave you a bronze trophy for owning a car made prior to 1960
The first time I noticed the Japanese bias was my first GT game, GT3. You could tune a Skyline or a Supra to the stratosphere, close to 1,000 horsepower. You could take a Corvette, bore and stroke the engine, throw turbos and a fully built rotating assembly, and.. make half that.
The worst prize cars are:
-Cars that you could simply purchase at the dealer, without a special color or anything.
-Cars that can't be sold for credits.
Adding salt to the wound; you've just finished endurance race.
And those that you can't use in any race
Let's br the Miata in gt3 is a exception cuz you can not only use it for the mx5 endurance race but you get a extra 10 horsepower, add hard tires to it and you'll get a easy win cuz of less pitstops compared to the rest of the field
@@Mechaxthemaskedgamer The extra horsepower is because most prize cars come with their engines already broken in.
Anyways, the funny thing about the Miata prize cars in GT3 is that most of them *are* special cars. You can't tell because the game didn't bother to give them different display names, but if you check the internal labels, many of them are special edition models from various years.
I like how in GT4 the prize car is something you'd need to enter the next event and then suddenly it hit you with the episode 1 of automobile
I'd argue those carriages were a prequel, given how different and scrappy they were.
@@pedinhuh16the Daimler and the benz were the pilot, model t was episode 1
Nothing will ever be worse than winning the Caterham R500 for winning the Formula GT in GT5.
Don't tell anyone, but I heard the prize car for winning the Le Mnas 24 hours in Gran Turismo 8 will be a silver Daihatsu Coupen. Oh yeah, but it comes with a cone, so I guess it's not that bad eh!

Okay wait the Caterham was fun as hell. It was useless but, but man was it a ton of fun to just pick a track and throw that thing around.
@noggin6870 yeah sure especially with that interior view but as a F1 championship prize it's a ironic joke just because it's "open wheel" the white F1 mclaren race car would've be at least generous when u consider it's more rare in the used lot and far more expensive but classic PD doesn't like passing up a good joke I guess
In GT5, the B-Spec NR-A roadster cup, which is a 10 lap MX5 race at Tsukuba, has the Mazda Furai as a price car. It's an extremely light 509 hp concept car based on a LMP2 chassis. If tuned, it can be competitive against Group C and LMP cars. An insane reward for an amateur league lvl 6 race.
Also, it can cheese the speedway race in the Like The Wind championship when downforce is maxed and a big turbo is equipped
This was definitely meant to get people to dip their toes into B spec mode when they otherwise might not have.

On GT7, I went a week with just 3k-10k rewards on all lf my tickets. Then suddenly I got the Nismo LMP1 and Audi R18 TDI within an hour of each other 💀
For me i ever got McLaren MP4/4 and SRT TOMAHAWK VGT GR.1 from Lanzhu Zhong within 30mins between each other!
I got a bunch of really good cars from getting lucky with the tickets. Recently, I was able to get a Toyota TS030 Hybrid from it.
I think I had in one week 2 times 500k out of 2 3 star roulette tickets
I feel like a lot of the redundancy for prize cars could have been quashed by making it so that certain events act as gateways into a new tier of license events.
Like "Hey, you just got the Int. A License, here are some events where we will loan you a car to use, and winning will grant you that car, so that we can make sure you have something that can compete in at least one event at this level."
Well seems like Coco Hayashi also ever got redundant prize cars in GT7 before.

I didnt care for GT HI-FI as a kid. As an adult coming back to the game however and unlocking HI-FI: my mind was blown. Incredible
Having just played through the game again a few days ago, HI-FI still blew my mind. It's just so damn smooth, i'd choose the way it looks and feels over any modern game running at 165+fps

@purwantiallan5089 it looked good, but you're exaggerating to the point of sounding ridiculous. They're not even comparable.
You missed the coolest part about the AE86 won from the Hard-tuned Car Speed Contest in Gran Turismo, the wheels! Back in GT1 you couldn't change the wheels either, so winning a panda trueno with the initial d wheels on it is very cool, since the car couldn't be bought with those wheels elsewhere.

It's so strange... In hungarian the word "vicc" pronounced exactly the same as "vitz" also means joke. I always thought it was a coincidence.
You guys were long enough part of a German speaking empire, I am sure there are more words that transfered either way, like gulasch/gulyas
@@PUDRETE919 yeah, there are a LOT of hungarian words and expressions that originate from the german language. Sadly as time goes on, many of them slowly start to dissappear. Only older people use them, or know what they mean even.
I always loved getting the black Castrol Supra, it was so much cooler than the white version. And I think if memory serves, there were two subtle differences in them, in that one had green detailing and the other had blue but I might be wrong; it's been twenty or so years!
Yep. The Black Castrol Supra 1996 still is legendary. Lucky that the black colour is retained on GT2 PLUS MOD.
Well-presented as always, nicely done. Something that might have been worth mentioning is how GT3's prize cars come with fully broken-in engines, giving them a 3% power boost over the dealership variants (which needs to be driven for 300km for the engine to fully break in). This makes it a viable opening strat to buy an AE86, enter Sunday Cup, get the prize car, then sell the one you bought and tune the prize car instead. Considering how tight GT3's early game is, the small power boost can make a difference in difficult events like 80's Car Cup. A nice little detail that encourages the player to use prize cars, on top of the special colours they often come in. It still feels bad to spend credits tuning an Elise for Elise Trophy only to get a stock one in return though, yeah.
what sucks about the special color cars in gt4 is that you literally dont unlock the color for arcade mode like the cars themselves, like come on, i won that gold aston, let me use it without glitches
Well, you can use that Gold Aston via save data.
Edit: Nvm. That was for 2 player battle.
i dont know if i remember correctly but cant you use the aston from your garage in arcade?
@@vzkronos4759 2 player only which sucks because i really wanted to use my maxed out s500 (with the stock exhaust) in an arcade race too

@@KikuraKuni ever used that Mazda Furai (Kanan Matsuura's Gran Turismo 5 favourite car) in GT5 and somehow easily won Like the Wind event and got Minolta 88C-V from Setsuna Yuki. I also ever won Like The Wind Indianapolis Oval Race by just 0.075 seconds against Ayumu Uehara's Sauber C9!
I akways prefered getting the useless stuff from the special events, because 2CV, Typ 1200, Motorwagen or Model T are all cool to own, but getting them from a championship feels like I am being screwed over; I generally dislike that GT never tells you what you will get, no the amount of money you win, the cars you can/will win, if you go in blind, it is very easy to just feel screwed over time and time again
I've been binge watching your stuff AGAIN and it's been enough to make me want to dive into Gran Turismo properly now. My PS2 has been sitting in dust until I can get it working, but I want to experience this for myself
I remember how hard the Suzuki swift races in gt4 are where you win the Suzuki Car that is powered by a bike engine.
At that point in my playthrough i was saving up on Credits... therefore my swift was barely tuned.
17:43 I love the fact that this only happened To a spanish player, as a spanish, I gotta say, my country is quite good at gran turismo
A similar prize car sin in GT4 was the Suzuki one-make race when the only obtainable Suzuki up to that race is the swift and have to beat the much more superior Suzuki concept roadster, so you had to specifically tune the swift and pull out all the tricks to win - just to win that roadster, which isn’t that valuable given the crazy amount of Japanese cars you earn and buy that are better value.
Also, not a prize car but having the caterham be purchasable but not usable in any events is very lame.
Gran Turismo 3 > Tuscan Challenge > save before last race > try to get the Cerbera Speed 12 (why isn‘t it in GT7 yet?) > use it for Like The Wind > easy 787B
I know, those are really good prize cars, but I‘m still disappointed in GT7.
I think there's a bellcurve here where the useless, but cool prize cars for some of the really hard accomplishment actually make a ton of sense for things nearing the end of the game. The most useful cars should come somewhere in the middle of a run where people get them while they still need them, and they're also attainable for casual players. Think about it; for one, if you're that good, or that far along in the game, it is basically impossible for the developers to guess what it is you actually need still (if anything) since it's going to be highly player dependent unless they simply prevent you from obtaining cars that are needed for the late game events through any other means, so giving out the fun stuff that's unobtainable otherwise keeps everyone at least a little happy, but more importantly 2: they don't want to anger a bunch of people by rendering some of the most useful and fun cars in the game unobtainable for people who aren't that good or aren't willing to invest a massive amount of time into the game. Imagine how infuriating it would be to need to gold the S licenses in GT4 or get the last one lap magic in order to get the Formula Gran Turismo. That would just put a massive, potentially insurmountable roadblock in the way of many average players, it makes no sense.
Two things are the worse. Price cars at special limited time events(GT6) and cars that you basically needed to complete their event and you already bought just to win that event and get the car you bought. GT3 annoyed me to hell about that because other than my initial car I like trying to complete the game with just cars I win but GT3 made it impossible by not giving me a car I can do some events.
Funny how you use the F1 car considering the only way to win the FGT is to win the 24 hours of Nürburgring. Or if you're playing the NTSC-J version of the game, you win the Formula GT World Championship. Which is 4,500km long total.
@@Sodom_and_Gomorrah yeah, but that's not *hard* to win, just annoying. Get an LMP car, but a turbo on it and let B Spec Bob rip
@@noggin6870 fair enough.

So ive been stuck in bed sick as a dog these last few days watching RUclips and happened across this channel. Been getting really nostalgic about good ol GT, so much so that i was compelled to drag out my g29 and try to fix it. Got it cheap off gumtree years ago but it never worked..... untill now! The ps3-ps4 toggle switch on top is to blame and is like the 'Achilles heal' of g29's. Its a really common issue with them. Since fixing it, I've fired up gtsport for first time in years and been happily punting around my favourite tracks to get up to speed again! I'll never play GT with a controller again! Thanks roflwaffle for the inspiration and great content. Keep it up man 🤘
20:30 The 2000's Toyota Celica is one of my all-time favorite cars, & *the last Celica ever created.* For the countless variations of Skylines, Civics & other Japanese legacy vehicles, I'm still gutted with every new GT game or update that includes another meaningless Japanese stock car while the Celica remains oddly forgotten. It may have been useless in the last game it was in, *but so are 94% of the variations of cars in GT Sport & GT Sport 1.2* (i.e., GT7).
I think it's because the later Celicas are FWD only and aren't very powerful.
@@sethmoyerthe 2zz celica is powerful for the time
@@acedogboy8421yes, it still feels powerful now. I owned one for 6 years and it was so much fun to drive every time 🥰

On the topic of one-make races,
In GT2, most one-make race doesnt give you prize car either. While on GT2 Plus Mod by Pez2k, some National Championship could give prize cars where some of them are cars with unique colors from GT1 or D-Rights' cars (Miata and Silvia S15)
I once got the 80s F1 car that was made by Gran Turismo with 980 or so horsepower, and that thing is just a killer
Nothing will ever beaten the Caterham 7 Fireblade after winning Formula GT and GSX-R/4 for winning Formula GT ON B SPEC IN GT5!
4:00 Toyota just wanted to have German designations at that time. It's really exotic for them, I guess. There are also cars named 'Platz' (=place; flat space) and 'Raum' (=room; cubic space). Both cars weren't sold in Europe and especially not in Germany, Swiss or Austria. Those names would be a little bit weird and so I also like to have a Yaris instead of a Vitz here.
Toyota's racing HQ is in Cologne, Germany as well so maybe they wanted that connection.
What, you don't want a pink vitz?
@@deanchur Yeah, that also falls in this time. If I'm not wrong the first gen Yaris/Vitz was developed in Europe to meet the taste of the European market.

Whilst i csn fully understand your point regarding GT2 prize cars, i love the unique models such as the Tom's T020. So rare in games and having seen a real one, it felt special to me.
Yes! GT2 was such an education in the amazing variety of neat niche Japanese cars of which we in the US would otherwise be unaware.
The Angel T01 was a joy, and as an MR2 enthusiast at the time I loved the opportunity to “drive” a T020, TRD2000GT and MR Spyder.
21:15 Yes, GT6 has the most cars featured in a single racing game. Or rather most unique car models, Top Drives has 3000 cars but they are static pictures on cards. IGCD has a list of the games with the most featured vehicles.
WTF is going with GT7 right now ??? Forza is launching, and PD cant give us solid cars or new track after 8 months ?? Also Sport servers are still broken....
Don‘t worry about the Sport servers, they‘re about to be shut down anyway…

7:02 I saved up credits for months to get the 20m I needed for the McLaren F1... *which is inherently worthless in GT Sport 1.2* (i.e., GT7). Now I'm paranoid about even spending 1m credits so I just sit there in one of my 18 Civics & cry in VR.
I grinded the game for a whole year (almost) isn´t healthy but i got every single car in game and i´m sitting on 30 mil to spare, i grinded Le Mans and SPA 1 hours for very long months it take that time because of work and such, GT7 is a dissapoint as an GT game but plays best than ever was.
In my opinion it would be awesome if you did a breakdown critique of each gt game like gt7. Btw great vids they really make my day :)
I honestly like how GT2 seems to give out more random cars as prizes, as it has less of a problem of winning the same useless car you used for the races.
Some of the prizes still do make 0 sense
Yes especially the Celica Concept. But WedsSport Celica GT300 at least is usable.
i love your vids, and hot take gt5 is not that bad
Gt5 is goated
Personally I don’t like think that’s too hot of a take. I’d rather play GT5 over GT7
Main issue in gt5 is trying to beat all events now that the servers are gone. To get a Formula Gran Turismo I had to reset the used car dealer over and over for it because it was supposed to be purchased through the online part. Tho game is low-key good
For me GT5 was the last good GT
Yeah
I think the reason why they say that it's bad is because it was overhyped. I started playing GT5 in 2018 after I played Sport on my friend's PS4
And since I had no bias, or anything like that, I enjoyed GT5. And more than 6 too
5:20
Playing GT4 for the first time right now, I feel this pain. Not only are 3 of them concept cars, the Prowler is considered a "special car" and can't be used ANYWHERE.
Then there's the completely useless Sunfire concept and near-useless Kusabi from the license tests.

Prize cars in GT2 is far more useful than GT7.
@@purwantiallan5089 the gulf gt40 was OP prize
I think that the worst prize car in GT4 is the Jensen Interceptor MkIII '74, because you need to get gold on all 16 IB license tests, which can be very difficult and time consuming, for a car that can be bought used and is already available at the arcade mode.

This is my main issue with GT7... everything else aside? Imagine getting a roulette ticket, and "winning" a part for a car you don't have or the "invitation" to come buy an exclusive car? The invitation thing definitely rubs me the wrong way because it doesn't really feel "exclusive", it just feels like another way to stretch out play time and content when you have to randomly win the OPPORTUNITY to buy an exclusive car.
I remember in GT2 doing the Grand Valley 300km like 3 times to get the R390GT1 and I kept getting a black or blue Impreza rally car
Im starting gaming again Gt1 on my phone because of these videos, feels so nostalgic ❤
The roulettes in GT7 so often hit the minimum item it would be so much less hated if you hit a better price more often
While i do wish GT2 had a used car dealership for the other regions, i wouldn't want to replace over 10 cars in the game to make that happen. GT2 was (for me) an introduction to just how many absolutely amazing cars japan made. Up to that point in my life my only irl experience with a Honda was an 86 accord my mom had that smoked like crazy. I guess that's on me that i feel that way but i love that GT2 had such an incredibly stacked roster of Japanese cars to discover.
cool video, would be nice seeing one for the best price cars
Hey dude, love your videos, always some good analysis of driving video games
To be fair gt5 gives you a furai for b spec roadster cup, a level 9 event
Imagine the possibility of turning on a randomizer after "completing" the game
Like the existing randomizer mods ones for gt4
Would be cool
Every car with a price tag, is a good prize car for a true GT player
The only time I've ever rolled my eyes at a prize car in Gran Turismo was when I was a kid, with the '54 Corvette C1 you win for one of the longer American Championships in GT4. I didn't know back then it'd probably be a decent car for the classic events if tuned up a bit, but it was still a bit of a let-down after going up against American race cars.
Prize cars I would do in GT3 Endurances-
Roadster Endurance: 787B, RX-7 LM Race Car, Cobra (one of striped colors), F688/S.

I got through 18 hours of the Le Mans 24 in GT4. I would play a couple hours per day and leave it paused, coming back the next day. I come home from school one day, noticing the microwave had “reset” on the display. Huh, the power must have gone out for a se-… oh shit. I never attempted it again.
😡🤬 that wouldn't pissed me off so much! The 24 hour races were just dumb and there's 3 of them!
With the GT7 info prize ticket you gave out the link, I can finally know why my luck is suck, is the percent chances rate that I never knew about it. I saved up to 20 tickets just to hope to get big credit or cars but all I got is 5k credits to 30K, on 6 star however the last prize car I got is VGT EVO.... which it looked like Eclipse Cross Family SUV but race version... Oh well maybe one day someone can tune it up and make it look exactly like that. There are other prize cars from online content which I hardly remember from GT5 back then I played but in GT7 I remember most of it so far, the extra menu collection, the online content and well I guess that's it. You'll get for going Porsche esport time trial event for 3 cars with custom color style and including 917 yes that one thank god it saved my 18 million credits to grind. I hope it does that more often with each monthly update content comes, speaking of, I don't think you never done a update content video before, maybe you should research and check it out the through out the history back then? I heard GT Sport got more cool update then GT7.
I think there could have been some improvements to the prize car system in GT2 and GT3, especially in terms of aiding in progression. For GT2, all those Mugen vehicles sold for a few thousand credits, hardly worth the time and energy it took to earn them. I don't know how much of the game's rushed state led them to just throwing any old car into the mix as a prize, but as you mentioned, some of them don't make sense.
If you look at how the game distributes its progression (where you need multiple licenses to enter the single races, as opposed to an entire series being restricted to a specific license as in the other games), it hints that it wants you to use multiple vehicles for each race, or at the very least, to upgrade the car you decide to enter. Take the rally races, for example. There are a couple of events that require the standard A License, while others require an IB License. It should have been recommended that the A License events be entered with a road car equipped with rally tyres, but the IB License could have had a rally car as its all-gold prize, given that many of the trials found within practice techniques exclusive to dirt driving. You could have then used that car as a gateway to the IB License rally events.
As for GT3, many of its problems in the early game involve redundant prizes. Out of all the cars you can afford with your 18,000 starter credits, the best options generally fall down to either a Toyota Sprinter or a Mazda MX-5 (Miata). Both of these cars are won as prizes from the Sunday Cup and Clubman Cup events, respectively. A similar phenomenon occurs revolving around the Lightweight K Cup series. Your only options to enter that series are the Daihatsu Cuore (Mira) or Suzuki Alto Works (the Mini Cooper is awarded as a prize for winning the series, so it effectively doesn't count). You can buy them at the start and have enough to buy a turbo upgrade, but that makes their appearances as prize cars in the 4WD Challenge and the Turbo race series pointless. Or you can enter those races first and win the prize cars, but at least one of them is not required, and you need a car quick enough to beat them, anyway.
I played GT7 and got around 8 or so price spins yet, yes I'm not super far into ghe game.
Point is, i only won more than the absolute minimum (5000cr) ONCE. And then I hot the second lowest price.
And it might not be sequence breaking, but if a game wants me to eff off and go back to other games so hard then I oblidged and I did so.
I've recently just committed to a 100% run of gt3. I did the Elise challenge in the pro league with a suped up 190. I didn't save state because I thought the reward would just be a single special color Elise. Imagine my pain when I won an Elise in the exact same color I was using to win the championship. I immediately sold it out of spite asdfghjkl
Volvo 240 and the Jensen Interceptor in gt4 are such shite rewards lmao
The worst prize car was the friends we made along
The most frustrating point to me is the colors of the license prize cars-once you obtained and you must live with it. But what if you want more than one color to add for your collection? Or in the case of PS1, want to have one more to do the heavy-lifting?
Or one stock Nismo 400R and one tuned to full racing spec? I wanted both!
Gran Turismo 6 has only a few prize cars, true.... however in Gran Turismo (PSP), you don't win prize cars at all. In *Any* mode.
EDIT: People often seem to forget that game exists at all... and that you literally can't win a single car in the entire game. and buying cars is a massive grind. a 99 lap race of test course on hardest difficulty with no assists... you'd get just over a million credits *if* you win.
In GT5 the tickets I got were for specific cars and I got some pretty cool ones (FT-86 concept, DN-X concept), as well as 2 Yarises
Unpopular opinion: The 1st underwhelming (not useless) prize car that I'd never forget for me is Stratos from GT2 Apricot Hill endurance, funnily enough Stratos is actually a proper prize car for that race, however the Denso Sard Supra blew it out of the water. Giving out race cars from road car races is kinda bad imo.
No, I think awarding race cars from road car events is a bad thing unless they're difficult. Not a fan of the Minolta 88C-V being stupid easy to obtain, and GT3's earlier Amateur League events had some very busted prizes like the Camaro LM and Vertigo Race Car.
@@ArbitraryOutcomeMy experience on GT5's early Mazda Furai, Zonda R and 88C-V maybe similar, especially some came from B-spec
I considered the HD mode of GT2 to be highly impressive at the time, for the higher resolution it provided. Yea, they had to cut a lot of things out (limited tracks, no AI cars, etc.) to make it work, but to see the tracks and cars you could play as in the higher def was, at the time, pretty spectacular.
I can’t explain enough how frustrating it is to receive a 4 star ticket
Only to obtain a brake balance controller or ECU 😒
Better than 5k in my opinion 😜
@skyeracer9712 not when its for a car you don't own, especially one that's locked behind an invite. Ask me how I know.
4:01 this is just a thing that Japanese car companies do, I guess. The Yaris is the Vitz, the Mazda 6 is the Atenza, the Mazda 2 is the Demio, the Acura RSX is the gen 4 Integra, the Infiniti G35 is... a Skyline.
The Sienna rally felt like such a cheat in gt6. A fast sports car and over 1mil in the early game.

Being surprised after getting a genuinely good prize/prize car from the gt7 roulette tickets is so true! I got the aston martin v8 vantage gr3 or smth like that from i think a 6 star and i was in awe. It's not an amazing car, but i have around 300 miles on it and use it for 30 mins 700 pp le mans races and have won almost every one ive done with it. I've gotten a lot of other really good ones from roulettes, but that's one that stands out to me
I’ve always had a Fiat Panda mkl as a sleeper. All in black, 177hp maxed out, it did quite well and looked menacing. So now I’ve switched to the Autobianchi. Still waiting for the Innocenti De Tomaso…
But what about a Zastava Yugo with bodykit and swapped engine?
What I experienced when I was 7, the first time I won the GT world championship in GT1, I'd be happy with whatever prize car the games gives me, I'll find some use out of them
tbh I understand that bad prizes its what makes a good prize to become good. The thing that I most dont like in Forza (especially horizon ones) its how easy good prizes are.
8:42 I think the DB5 is worth it though. Who wouldn't want to drive 007's car in a Grand Turismo game?
Gran turismo 3, professional all star championship, rewards could been, R390 GT1 Race Car, Toyota GT-one TS020, Viper GTS-R concept, and my favorite Impreza WRX ( in special color). When I did that race, guess which prize car I got .
I'd replace that Impreza with F094/H.
omg I forgot about the GT1 60fps special races... I didn't quite understand it then, I was like... 10 playing it, but I do remember thinking these races are faster and even tho I did not understand what's happening at all I did like them a lot. I never really came back to GT1, after GT2 I felt no desire to. Thank you for reminding me.
My favourite was always the (i think) grand valley endurance in gt2. You could win an Altezza LM or i think Impreza rally car.
Fine and dandy BUT the altezza was offered in like 7 colours whereas the impreza was offered in two so i remember doing that race, which is one of the longest in the entire game, over and over again and just getting the same car over and over and over again. Super frustrating
gt3 is a giant meme in termes of prize cars
beginner amateure altezza you get the altezza
professional aletzza you get the race car which is kinda cool but you most likely already have much better race cars
It has been tested and Proven that GT7 ticket Roulette system was preset to give the worst prizes for a 3 Star ticket, and the best (or close to the best ) for a 6 star (current version of Gran Turismo 7 does not have 1 or 2 star tickets).
If you have a 3 star ticket, chances of you getting a good prize is extremely rare (you can ger the crappiest of prizes, such as unusable parts that cannot be sold, to credits as low as $2,000).
On the flip side, 6 star tickets can give you great prizes at a higher probability (such as racing spec cars or even $1,000,000).
There are the in betweens. 4 and 5 star tickets may shaft you with low credits and crappy parts (again, cannot be sold). 6 star parts tickets are fundamentally useless, however 6 star car tickets are always excellent, as if you get a high wnd car that ypu already have, you can sell it at a high price.
There was a 71' charger for doing a 2-3 hour endurance in gt4 but can't remember which one
It was the New York one
Toyota Triathlon race car can be only competed with another AI car if you're played Japanese version. Meanwhile, the US version seems doesn't allow this special kind of car to compete with AI drivers.
I remember in GT5 there was this Nissan 370Z Tuned car that could only be won as a random prize car from a level 12 ticket or a 1000 ticket. There was no other way of getting that car
The worst thing about GT2's tuner prize cars are just how useless or crap some of them are. Most of the Mugen cars immediately spring to mind (except the EK9 Civic and DC2 Integra, they were pretty rapid when tuned, and faster than the Spoon equivalents), as does the Nismo 270R, which in the base game wasn't even allowed to be used in the S-chassis race along with the Sileighty (I believe this was fixed in GT2+ and the A-spec mod, better late than never). Think the absolute worst of the worst though is the Tom's T111. A dull, dreary yellow AE101 Corolla that other than a 6 speed box, really doesn't stand out at all as an FWD car, not when there are GT300s and Super Touring cars. Even my favourite TRD Chaser X30 is pretty limited in usefulness, although it's a solid choice for the turbocharged car cup. It's also the only 1JZ car that's able to be tuned to have a decent amount of power.
I Loved so much my Cadillac Cien in GT4 , i used to over powered and out big Shiny bling bling wheels lol
I personally find that ridicolously slow cars are one of the coolest feature of GT franchise, if you want to ride a F1 car, already at time of GT3 was available F1C on PC, nothing exceptional today, but surely already satisfies a lot much in that, GT is for standard cars, then becomes great jumping on a Beetle at Città di Aria or a racecar sticked to the ground
Pricecars are nice but Sony never figured out how to make them random, it took 20 years a nd a Randomizer mod to make GT4 alot more interesting in that regard. Dont throw stones at me but I like a selection of price cars to choose from ( like Forza Motorsport 4) much better than just one hard coded ride. With 700+ cars in a game surely a selection can be made after winning " generic" races. Special should have their respective cars tho that make sense in the later progression.
Iam playing GT6 right now and it still baffles me that a game with with 1300 cars in it couldnt make up a selection of shopping carst from around the world but instead forced me to buy a Honda Fit at the start :(
Never understood why I did not get to choose my started car, I love that FM4 offers you like 6 Econo-Boxes from around the globe and one gets to choose which one you wanna spend the first few hours with, I still have my VW Fox on my original FM4 safe and its the first car I see when I go into the garage so it always floods me with fond memories where I started; I sold that Fit just to spit the developer the first chance I got
Winning an F1 car in GT3 was totally game breaking. Winning the gulf gt40 in gt2 was less game breaking but more fun. Don't know if you cover this but prize cars come with better stats than their purchased counterparts in gt3
Really? How so? I've played gt3 so much but never noticed much of a difference besides special colors
@Giratina575 That's how it is in the U.S. version. I've almost beaten the game more times than I can count. I know what I'm talking about.
@@napalmsanctuaryx4129 interesting. I'll have to take a look more closely. What changes on them if I may ask
@@Giratina575 I'd literally have to pull out the game again. It's been well over a decade since I played it. Just win one of the race cars you can buy, then buy the same one and compare. I believe it's horsepower.
@@napalmsanctuaryx4129 ahhh ok I see
the Clio cup was odd: win new bettle cup cars, and i'm like "I could have used that earlier.."
I seen that cein at my old job .. they keep it in the basement so crazy to have seen that car in person
The part in GT2 about only receive japanese prize cars, for me, it was for a point of view of a person in Japan, not in a fictional city anywhere in the world, that's why there's the city divisions and that's why there's no used cars for foreign cars. In GT4 that makes much more sense, tho.
I just watched Gran turismo the movie and it was AWESOME I had so many memories flooding in my brain again I even cried when I heard the beautiful music and the engine sounds oh man that was great when the movie was over I walked to my car where I parked in the Multi Story carpark and I had this moment where I stood still and just admired my car (Subaru Legacy 3.0R) in black. ❤❤
I loved this mechanic of GT, prize cars are kinda a flagship of the series, sure the randomness will infuriate or will please, in GT7 is just Sport mode aka E sports and a big middle finger to every single GT single player, every now and then i boot up my PS2 and do playtrough of any GTs 1 to 4, 5 i barely play, 6 even less, 7 i played the recent update, beat it in under an hour now just continue life as usual until next update, i miss the grind of Costa D´Amalfi of GT4 grinding for hours to get the exclusive black LMP´s of the used dealers of GT4 and just once i did the 100% playtrough on GT4 to get the all black F1.
Even though it wasnt great seeing the 360 or the Kubelwagen appear in GT5, winning either at least gave you a bronze trophy for owning a car made prior to 1960
The first time I noticed the Japanese bias was my first GT game, GT3. You could tune a Skyline or a Supra to the stratosphere, close to 1,000 horsepower. You could take a Corvette, bore and stroke the engine, throw turbos and a fully built rotating assembly, and.. make half that.
i remember many not japenes cars in GT3 that were easy to tune so you could reach 900hp like RUF RGT or Viper
