Hello again, been quite the while since I've posted anything about the project on GTP. But worry not, progress is being made on a daily basis still!
I thought it'd be nice to post a rather big milestone here, which is that the updated dealership in the project is pretty much finished, and actually has been for a bit now, but I've only bothered to really show it now.
Anyways, I'll link my newest video here which showcases the dealers, but I'll also display some images of it below that. Make sure to read the video description for information & credits!
Here, some photos!
Also, I must take this time to reach out to the Gran Turismo community for this one important thing. I hate to do this, but I really do need the help in this, and I have to reach out.
Gran Turismo 3: Concept, evidently by it's name, uses updated data from Gran Turismo Concept. This means new cars and updated models (Like, for example, Peugeot 106 S16) and new & updated courses (Like Autumn Ring). Unfortunately, there are some versions of GTC that I or the community do not have access to, and sadly, these versions are exactly the ones that are most important: They are the latest versions. The current latest version of GTC we have, is from December 2002. But there are builds of GTC way into 2003.
These builds are known to contain at least 2 new courses (Fuji Speedway & Tsukuba Circuit) and numerous new cars, all in GT3 format. And, considering the fact that all japanese versions of GTC had loads of unused data, they probably have numerous courses & cars inside as well. By my calculations, I could estimate that the latest GT3/GTC-format build could contain anywhere from 40-60 new cars. You can see the amount of new content in the GT4 E3 version, which was a build temporally close to the last GTC builds.
So my aim here, is to hopefully reach to people who either own these rare builds, or know people who own these builds. Who, hopefully, is ready to help the project by providing this data.
While someone could very well, understandably, be turned down by the idea of offering a virtual copy of an ultra-rare disc, that's not what I'm asking here. I understand that the disc's value is also important to a collector. All I need, is the game's asset data. I don't need everything that makes up the disc. Your discs value will be kept, and also, the data can be kept confidentially if necessary, except of course for the data that would make it into the project. But anyways, here are the known missing builds of GTC/GTC-like versions:
• GTC Subaru Demo
• "GT4P" Subaru Demo
• Lupo Demo Version 1
• Lupo Demo Version 2
If you have any one of these, or know anyone who has any of them, and you/they're willing to help out, reach out to me. You can send a PM, or anything. Also, of course, if someone really does happen to own something like a GT3/GTC/GT4P betas, preview discs, etc., those are absolutely welcome as well. They could contain anything.
I hope this reaches someone. It doesn't need to happen now, but I hope eventually the project can be expanded further with this!
