Earlier today I dusted off my copy of Gran Turismo...It was pretty funny how easily I did some of the stuff that took me hours when I was new to the game(and driving games in general) I can remember sitting for hours with my little brother taking turns on the B-Liscense tests and Sunday Cup...I beat both in less than 1/2 hour today. I was also kind of ...surprised at the graphics, I mean, they seemed awesome at the time...It's amazing what a year with a ps2 will do to you. :thumbsup:
Call me weird (or extremely poor, which is what I am) but I have never played GT2, GT3, or GT Concept.
I have had a PSX and Gran Turismo 1 for no more than 2 weeks now and so far I have won all arcade races on normal, I have 11 cars in sim mode and I find it to be a bloody excellent game.
All you guys talk about gt1 having bad graphics and all but thats only because you have gt2/3/concept to compare it to. I agree gt1s graphics look a little dated (just a little!) and Im sure when I get gt2/3/concept and a ps2 I wont be able to stand going back to gt1 for long. But for someone who has just begun to play gt1, its a ripper game which will keep me entertained for yonks.... or until i can afford a ps2 which by the way is worth more than half the value of my car over here in australia.
Hey, beggars cant be choosers, right?

SpeedRaca, welcome to GTP!
GT1 isn't the best GT game, but by no means is it bad. I still play it, even though I have GT3, and I love it! Well, have fun getting all of the arcade races on HARD, then you can play the "Hi-Res" mode. That's pretty good, you'll have to play it to see how you like it though. Have fun!

Im pretty anxious to see what this hi-res mode as well as the GT hi-fi thing is all about. But at the moment Im still a beginner and still perfecting my driving style with the high powered race cars such as the castrol supra gt and my 550 something hp fd rx7. Which means I can win all the gt races no sweat except for the last one.. its damn hard and the best ive done is second place so far.

Im leaning more towards controlled oversteer. There are two things I can say about this.
1. It seems this is the way its meant to be done I mean the driving manual included in the jewel case even tells you so. But even so trying to find the right level of slip into and out of a corner, when you have 655 hp tucked away is always going to be bloody hard.
2. Call me crazy but now I have more fun driving this way in sim mode than I do driving drift style in arcade mode! Guess its coz Im gettin better at it...
I heard somebody say somewhere in a forum that the skyline could be pumped up to 941 hp. So yeah just for a bit of fun I went and did it and whaddya know - 941 hp! But it was damn hard to drive, too powerful for me.
So just what IS a definition of a better car? The most powerful? At the moment I cant really drive accurately above about 500 hp maybe its cause I havent practiced or maybe its cause I dont know how to tune my car to my driving style yet...

Talking about powerful beasts, I rigged up one of the RUF cars(The on with the RR, I forgot which model it is) with 1028HP or something, and I'm going to try rallying that thing against my Mustang. I think the mustang will actually win because it won't be as powerful, seeing that it has only a few hundred HP less than the RUF beast. Wish me luck some time!
Ok basically what they did for Hi-Fi mode in gt1 is take the draw distance down to about 100 metres and take away some of the scenery. So yeah frame rates kind of go up considerably and the graphics become smoother and some things like lights on the roof of tunnels look slendid.
So if you can live with being able to see the scenery being drawn half the time and with feeling a little less claustrophic, its really quite acceptable.
Oh, and theres no tire smoke. At all.
