RDR2 continues to hold up incredibly well. Rockstar has their work cut out for them with GTA6. I honestly don’t know how they’re going to land that game with all the hype surrounding it, not to mention the delays. RDR2 set the bar incredibly high, and I don’t know how GTA will manage.
I've been watching videos about Gran Turismo and getting the itch to play GT4 again. I used some Christmas money to buy an upscaler and got the old PS2 to work reasonably well yesterday. Already got the B-license and beat the Sunday Cup. Got a few other games out of storage too. Time for a trip down memory lane.
GT2 ruled my early 20’s. Had THE best game menu and manufacturer menu music. EVER!
GT2 was actually my first Gran Turismo, and I still have it. I might give it a spin, but GT4 is giving my brain more of the good nostalgia chemicals right now.
I played GT4 some, but never completed it. Maybe 50%? By that time other games had taken my interest. God Of War 1-2, Madden, Tiger Woods, Champions of Norath…
How I wish I had a still functioning PS2.
Right on.
A friend just got me a PS2 last week. I've been playing SSX Tricky and THPS4 along with the old Midway and Namco arcade games.
I went back and forth on a good driving/racing game and ended up on NFS Underground, but I do want to get a Gran Turismo game at some point. Is GT4 the one you'd recommend?

From what I can gather, the PS2 era is the favorite among fans, so GT3 or GT4. I personally never played GT3, so I'm biased towards 4. They have their pros and cons. According to some people, GT3 has a better career progression and physics model. GT4 has more cars and tracks and I personally love the menu design in the career mode. While I would push you towards 4 myself, I'd suggest doing some research to decide between the two, or just trying both if you have the means.
GT3 was amazing. My Lancer Evo7 could not be stopped the majority of the game and it qualified for so many different race types.
I'll just get them both, easy enough. Less than $20 for both.
