Thread 714671931

Want to give this a go finally. Ridge Racer just disappoints me after all the hype, wanna try GT

I read 4 is the best a lot but people are just nostalgiafagging right? Is Is 5 or 7 the best?

The only thing that always prevented me from giving this series a shot is that it looks very quantity > quality and like it doesn't have a lot of personality and tries too hard to be realistic and mature, maybe factor this into your recommendation

>>714671931 (OP)
First one because it's all about 90s Japanese cars while rest included too many non Japanese cars.

>>714673016
most people aren't car weebs

Bump

>>714671931 (OP)
Picrel is by far the best

>>714671931 (OP)
Gran Turismo 2

>>714675267
This, and quite frankly it’s not even close. I’d even go so far as to say the genre peaked with this game.

>>714671931 (OP)
GT4 had a phenomenal career mode, but the overall gameplay was just so so. Maybe the next GT is way better
>>714673686
>>714673016
I like the first one because the game feels like a rally game. You need to powerslide and use the scandinavian flick a lot

>>714675267
This. There is no contest.
Dunno why they can't just do this + more courses/races and cars. The Career mode interface alone was bueno

>>714675267
How is it better than the rest? People never explain it which just makes it look like it was your first one and you just bought it because you liked the cover

How is it better than 3 and how is it better than 7 after all its updates?

>>714676101
>interface
when a game is actually good you don't have to glaze the fucking menus

GT7 feels too much like Kaz is holding you at gunpoint so you can listen to him sperg out about some random ass literally who car from 1954.

>>714676207
Meant that Career mode map was cool. In other GT games they are just menus.
Just feels less adventurous. Hard to explain.

>>714671931 (OP)
Yes GT4 has the best career mode. Thats the only thing that matters anyway

>>714671931 (OP)
4 but heavily modded is the right answer

>>714671931 (OP)
Modded 4 with GT3 camera

>>714671931 (OP)
GT2

>>714676137
>no answer
Guess 4 really is just babbys first racing game

>>714671931 (OP)
4 with the spec ii mod > 3 > 2 > 4 > the rest

>>714671931 (OP)
I agree with 4 being the best, sure there is some nostalgia, game was huge when it came out.
But it feels most complete and has best pacing. Others feels rushed in one way or another.
GT2 is second best.

>>714676137
it is superior to 3 but personally I put gt2 and gt5 before gt4. gt4 is the normie answer

Gran Truismo 7 is the best

Every other answer ITT is just nostalgia-fags saying the last game in the series they played

>>714671931 (OP)
7

>>714671931 (OP)
3

>How is it better than 3 and how is it better than 7 after all its updates?
GT4 is like GT3 but more everything.
And GT7? The menu campaign is rubbish, you do races by the game's order, every race is very spreaded rolling start, you win cars left and right and can do whole thing with like 10 cars. GT7 have a lot of good content with no fucking clue how to use it. I like gt7 physics, livery editor, photo mode, but campaign is awful.

>>714683146
>GT5

>GT4
Nigga, what!? Who the fuck would put post-4 GT's before 4? 2, I'd understand. But those load times, that atrocious phone home speed? Really?

>>714683508
3 has better music, better menus, better audio
All 4 has is more cars.

>>714671931 (OP)
gt7 is a brilliant, strange bit of game design. hanging out in a photorealistic coffee shop geeking out on old cars hits a real vibe....love how much focus is put on japanese cars of the 80s and 90s

motorfest btfoed every racing game itt

>>714671931 (OP)
Are those last three emulable?

>>714671931 (OP)
GT7 is the best.

>>714671931 (OP)
>Best game in the GRAN TURISMO series?
R4.

>>714683601
the gt4 menu is horrible. gameplay and soundtrack in gt5 are superior

The fact most of you fags only talk about menus is proof non-of you even play these games.

>>714685012
is this how you fucking cope about people not thinking gt4 is the best? you are retarded. every gran turismo that came out after 4 except 6 is better than 4

Ah yes, the GT7, also called this one (1) car is worth 20 million, aka 15 hours playing one of the 3 races that give some money or you can also pay 200 bucks to get those 20 millions, goyim.

>>714671931 (OP)
Currently playing 5 and 6 simultaneously. Love the content of 6 but the presentation of 5 more. I literally hate 6s music. The electronic stuff is alright and I love the bossa nova/lounge tracks like 5 but the rock and roll tracks are truly awful. Horrible terrible "we have my chemical romance/all American rejects at home " level garage band garbage.

>>714683609
>better menus
Why are GT fans so autistic about menus? Makes me think the games are trash

>>714685663
It's called "presentation" you classless pleb

In fairness though, no one has yet explained what 4 does better than 7

>>714685294
Every career racing game that doesn't start you out in a shitbox and make you grind up to a f1 is not a GT game, but a shit game.

>>714685850
it's the only one I've played cause I'm too poor to get a ps5

>>714685850
4 was a good PS2 game. But it's 2025, the series and racing games in general have certainly improved since then. Its over 20 years old now. 7 is great, only people refusing to take off nostalgia goggles would say 4 is better still, and its not just about graphics but also advancements in every aspect of what it can sim from physics to weather

>>714683373
>>714683657
>>714683737

This is how you know people are paid to post on here.

7 is the best you just have an unparalleled amount of control over your car with the dual sense control

>>714687315
this >>714688746 actually reads like a shillbot post

i hate today's /v/

>>714686804
>But it's 2025, the series and racing games in general have certainly improved since then
Not really. What a good racing game needs is good track design and tight controls with some deliberate grease factor/oversteer/weight. All things games already had in the 90s and which arguably peaked 20 years ago. You can say graphics are better today but even that's subjective because retro graphics usually leave more to imagination or have better readability in HD

>>714688796
>The truth sounds fake to me whaaaa!
Sorry that your ignorant, you've never touched a PS5 controller or a woman
But it doesn't change the undeniable fact the Dual Sense controller is what sets GT7 head and shoulders above every console racing game ever made.

Why do they make one game per generation? Is it that hard to make a driving sim

>>714690242
GT5 and 6 were PS3 games. They broke their rule once and it was clearly not worth it since 6 was a rushed piece of shit.

7 pisses me the fuck off. It’s obvious the Chinese have never driven a car, the brakes do not fucking work. My fucking 97 ranger brakes better than the fucking super disc brakes on a corvette? Fucking chink niggers

>>714690445
License tests?

>>714671931 (OP)
4 has the best career progression, the best UI, and introduced many of the more advanced tuning mechanics the series still uses. Plus, B-Spec mode was insanely addicting.

7 plays, sounds, and (obviously) looks the best. I’m not a fan of their insistence on adding ultramegahyper cars instead of letting you supe up shitboxes like GT1-4. 5 was the downfall of the series in that regard.

I tried playing GT4 on an emulator the other day and it turns out the game uses X for throttle instead of analog throttle control on a trigger. Instantly closed the emulator, deleted the iso then killed myself.

>>714687315
Sorry child but I don't rush content. I race 2/3 races a day and I'm fine.

>>714690953
Exactly why it doesn't compete with 7 or other modern racing games in general

>>714683609
3 also has better physics, which is the important part.

>>714690953
Did you even try going into settings and changing the controls? Of course you didn't.

>>714689779
>the Dual Sense controller is what sets GT7 head and shoulders above every console racing game ever made.
You are mentally ill

>>714690445
Gran Turismo games always had garbage car physics that feel like the makers never drove a car though? Cars control like tanks in 4 until you unlock the best ones

>>714690694
>B-Spec mode
the fuck does this even mean. i hate racing games for using autismo terminology for simple game modes, it's user unfriendly and pretentious

>>714690953
Exactly why it's better than 7. Analog trottle is a total meme you never need since you can tap accel and brake. If you want to drive a real car go outside, no need to make games less fun

>>714671931 (OP)
>I read 4 is the best a lot but people are just nostalgiafagging right?
Yes. 6 is the best one although I prefer 5 because they got rid of the used shop in 6 and I like to collect cars like it's pokemon from the used shop in 5 but 6 is objectively the better game.

>>714690953
Not only can you change this in the settings, but the PS2 controller had pressure sensitive buttons, so you could control the throttle quite easily with X. The more you know nappyfag.

>>714671931 (OP)
It's a boring series unless your into cars.

Dirt rally 2 by far is the best racing game that's aiming for semi realism.

>>714692880
You never experienced it

>>714693249
>bro get an expensive car irl then go 120mph and crash into a wall and die

>>714693109
>spoonfeed me waaaaah
I googled it. You can too :)

I've spent the past week playing the older GGs for the first time and 4 definitely has polish over the ones preceding it, but I've found 3's physics to feel much better.

As I wrap up my 4 playthrough, I've been wondering where to go to next in my big racing game binge I've been on. What I've loved in all these titles has been the extremely deep campaigns and the progression through car history as you have your early hobo mode suping up a used beater from the 80s, to your first real workhorse, to finally getting a racer or professional rally car. Its a great ride. A while back when I hadn't committed to playing GT, I was told to try Dirt Rally 2 because I enjoyed Colin MacRae and... idk I think GT has spoiled me. I didn't like how I just had a roster of DLC cars and a bunch of tracks to immediately jump into - with the focus shifted heavily to online competitive racing.

I don't know where to go from here. Which among Forza Motorsport (I wish I could play the older titles but I've never given Microshit a cent for their Halo boxes), Assetto Corsa, Project Cars, or GT5 or 6 to try next. I'll probably never own a PS5 so GT7 is right out as well.

>>714698428
The Forza Horizon games are a ton of fun. I think only 5 is available anymore, unless you buy used 360/Xbone copies of the rest (the older ones got delisted due to music and car licenses expiring I assume). Otherwise, continue with GT5.

>>714698428
You can try forza 4 on emulator.
Shift 2 had good campaign too, also I think it's the best game for turning shitboxes into racing cars.
I also enjoyed grid 2 campaign, but game itself have weird physics where everything wants to drift.

>>714698428
Motorstorm

>>714675267
Nope.
No VR.

>>714695320
I experienced enough gimmicks to know they are meaningless trash in the end and only game design matters

>>714702573
soulless keyboard user

GT1 or GT4, GT1 is purely just fun game enjoyment. GT4 is like pure driving/racer peak.

>>714671931 (OP)
Probably 3, but I had a lot of fun with 5&6 too. The used car dealership was gay but an interesting concept at least. You could trade for cars anyways if you really needed them. Somehow the only GT I didn't play was 4. I always had the feeling if I had played 4 it would be my favorite.

3 has the best box art

>B-spec races
I actually liked playing coach.
