The Gran Turismo Cinematic Trailers Appreciation Thread

[silverman_GT]

Here's a thing you may or may agree after playing/following Gran Turismo over the years: PD are absolute wizards in terms of making cinematics.

However, I feel like PD's cinematic artistry are overshadowed by several "non-constructive nonsense" on YouTube, thus leaving the thought and talent behind these videos underappreciated. This thread, as the title says, will hopefully highlight the fact that these Gran Turismo trailers are world-class and deserves more praise.

Here are a few of my favorites, in no particular order - it's very hard for me to choose due to the media limit :

The update trailers really started to get good around January to March 2018.

I'm gonna admit though, I miss the full 1-2 minute long trailers from 2018 though, the 30-second ones from late March 2019 onwards haven't really been doing it for me IMO.

Nothing will ever top the 458 Italia trailer. Just beautiful/sublime.

Ten years later, it's still the most beautiful trailer. There are some very nice trailers from Forza or GT but this one is art.

 

[Shingo_civic]

There are so many GT cinematics that I like that I could go on for days by listing them all. For me PDs are simply unattainable in this respect

 

[Alex p.]

The GT HD trailer above is absolute class. Love it.

Yep. I agree. I remember screencapturing / wallpapering this video like a madman back then.
The song "Just One Second" by London Elektricity is spot on there.

Here is the Making of video from the end of GT 4 Prologue. Wherein everything aiming at the great GT4.

The GT4 Prologue ending clip was and still is pure epicness

Maybe not the best or most beautiful intro, but definitely the most intense and with highest adrenaline.

Fan made, but still the best:

 

[Stephan]

The music (I like I Was Born to Survive by Tom H@ck) and the choice of angles to show this car makes it as one of my favorite cinematic for one car alongside the NSX, 458, and Taycan.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I have to hand it to PD, they do make damn good trailers.

 

[titleguy1]

Don't know if this has been posted yet but this is one of my favorites.

 

[Kevstah2004]

Did I just catch a glimpse of the Monaco harbour?

 

[Racer93]

It's a shame the latest update trailers of GT Sport are so short (less than 30 seconds). I really liked them before, PD knows how to create hype.

 

[queleuleu]

I loved the fan made trailers for GT5. So much diversity and quality! Unfortunately, GTSport videos are too limited (not enough different cutscenes).

 

[silverman_GT]

I think the new Spec II intro fits this thread perfectly.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

Did I just catch a glimpse of the Monaco harbour?

I thought I saw Monaco too when the GT3 flyby in the rain with the camera set me. Turns out it is Tokyo.

 

[SDSPOWER01]

Aside that I agree on most of the GT trailers showcased in here: This is my favorite one:


There is just something in that music that fits so darn perfect with Fuji and the scenery..and the music gives a very nihongo vibe to it.

 

[George Jakob]

Im suprised its not posted already its just perfect .

 

[bdj57]

Honorable mention, even though it is not GT but based on it :

 

[VincentVendetta]

A few glaring omissions...

 

[Stephan]

This is something that Hans Zimmer would do. And they gave this car a great cinematic trailer unveiling.

 

[con360]

These two have always been in the top 10 for me.
