While many complain about the shortcomings of modern games, it’s way too easy to forget just how good we have it. For some perspective – and a good laugh – check out this video trailer for an 8-bit version of Gran Turismo 5, created by 797Productions and uncovered by GTOne2Three.
For anyone curious, most of the video above was actually put together using clips from an old NES game, Formula One: Built to Win, which helped lay the groundwork for the Gran Turismo game-play formula we’ve all come to know and love. The original game can now be played in your web browser, right here. Happy April fool’s day, everyone!
Just goes to show how spoiled we are, and yet we still bitch every chance we get.
Reminded me the good old days’ well done! Love it!
oh and again, PD should try to take the Need for speed shift driving experience approach. That kind of realisim paired with insane driving physics will be pretty fdamn insane
lmao, thumbs up if this site needs a thumbs up system, some of theese comments are really funny!
Take pics “in 3D” lol. That was my favorite!
I was almost expecting Top Gear (the SNES game, not the BBC show) to show up.
hahahah this is sooo cool!
Aaah yeah! Brings back good old memories. When I think about it, gameplay was much better back then…OMG what did I just say!? Really getting old haha… Great video – I will always love the 8-bit world…

The right song!
wow just like the old days……. AWSOME
It looks like its got more features than the 2010 GT5 :-)
No 8-bit “Moon Over The Castle” :( :( :(
Lmao funniest thing iv seen all year, I love the HD and that u can take photos too
Awesome – brought it all back :)
Remind me of my childhood ands playing RAD-Racer…
This is freakin awesome^^ This brings me back to the good old days when I used to play SNES racing games^^ Great work and keep’em comeing^^
Who cares about gT5 When you can get this XD
Why this game sucks:
The graphics absolutely suck
How many premiums are there? 0.
Physics, don’t even get me started, really not up to GT scale
Why are there no Skylines/Miatas!!!
There aren’t enough events
It is too impossible to get ANY cars even though the AI drives like complete zombies
The shadows are too blocky
The dust and smoke absolutely sucks!!!
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!
Happy April Fool’s Everyone. :)
Ugh, still didn’t fix the jaggies. Lmao, great find :D
I loved Rad Racer for Super NES and that is the games the creator used for most of the visuals. Good memories, thanks!
Cool GT6 for PS4 with powerful real graphics XD
Video edited by 797 Productions xD
I`m loving the fact that in the forums you will get banned for pretty much any talk on piracy and on the front page there`s a link to an NES rom :).
Kind of a slip up, or you should really change the forum policy. I`d be in favour of the latter.
not just being a knob either — I don`t know what companies are eyeing GTPlanet on a regular basis but I always just assumed something like that was the reason for the forum ban.
The shadows look the same.
That was awesome on all levels. Happy April Fools’ Day everyone.
Well, the tuning seems to have more depth then the actual game xD
epic! i want to go play pole position now,
well played old man :D
PD should have made an update today…then what you started the game this video played just to scare gamers lol
is this GT5 next major update 2.0? Epic Graphics, physics is jawdropping! And look AI is brand new and smart now.. cant wait for it!
How does this game have a McLaren Formula 1 car but GT doesn’t? :(
Good April fools though.
Hope it comes with an online feature;)
Haha, good stuff. I love the music.
actuily only two of the cars are 8 bit the other 8 are standered so there 3 bit
Whattt! 10 cars where are the DLC cars?
Looks pretty mind-blowing. Makes me remember that NES Zelda commercial “Whoa! Nice graphics!”
I like it. Thanks for posting.
I guess i already watched this like.. “year” ago.. hahaha… creative :)
Want it now!!
Not for nothing but I still love that 8 bit music!!!
Love the rims. Wait, you mean they aren’t customizable?!? This game sucks!
Nice, but kinda old.
LMAO!!!!!
That is superb. When can I buy a copy? ;)
I want to actually own a copy of this now xD.
LOL, great one, Jordan! :D Enjoy your April Fool
‘s sir! :D
hahahaha, I loved that :)
Haha, classic funny ;) <– pun haha
It’s a master piece. Brilliant I say!
There was a clip of rad racer there, I loved that game.
Thanks for that, it was funny, made me smile…
Awesome ^_^
Nice :D “8-Bit High Definition”, thats hilarious! :D
Haha! Brilliant.
I kind of feel priviledged to have grown up with the rise of computer gaming and see its development path.
My first driving sim was “CrazyCars I and II” on the Sinclair Spectrum ZX+, then “Car & Driver” on the 386DX, then GT1, 2, etc.
Now i’m at the ripe old age of 32 and still loving driving sims.
I never wanted to sound like my father but “these young’uns dont know how good they have got it!”
wow it took some work to do this fake video ;)
Ahh, that was funny, Jaw-Dropping Cinematics !!! Nice one…
Hahahaha, that was brilliant. Brings back memorys of my C64 gaming days. Thanks Jordan, that really made me laugh :D
Outrun was my favorite game to play in the arcades when I was younger. Then later on it was Sega Super GT. But I remember those 8bit days- amazing how good SuperMario3 looked though!
No wonder!
It’s Sony of America
Could this be? A preview for the long awaited GT6?! O:
This was meant to be released in 1989 but it got delayed.
Fantastic aahah!
I remember racing on the C64. GACCRR was a thrilling game.
Hey, at least the game has all around polish. Every bit of content is on the same level of quality. :)
I bet the standard cars are only 4-bit.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA you, sir, are very funny!
Hahah LOL, +1
:)
The shot of Pole Position was definitely a standard car. Apparently there’s only going to be one premium, and guess what, it’s a Skyline.
Is this our APril Fools Joke??
No OFFense, but not very funny.
And all the smilies now look really wierd. I did laugh when i saw my :tup: turned into a :)
Err…it’s not supposed to be a “joke”, Leo, just something to make you smile on April fool’s day…
OK. I have to admit it was pretty neat. Considering I got so much HW, I put tiredness my on GTP. Sorry. :)
Not Funny????
This is spot on how PD’s marketing works. Great video, it made me laugh.
They should’ve used 8-bit version of “Moon Over The Castle” =)
Funny:)! This GT will braek the records of best selling games;)!
