There's more I'm forgetting probably. Every time I heard arguments in favor of this game, they always boil down to muh soul, muh nostalgia, but never nothing tangible. It's praised by people who were 8 at the time and this was their first GT ever. There's a reason why years ago, GT2 & 4 always topped polls of best Gran Turismo ever while 3 was in the bottom. The FF8 of the GT series, recent revisionism included.

GT2 was the best.
Frick you, GT1 is the best
Gt4 is the goat
ah yes, forgot about
>random prize cars, enjoy getting the same car you needed to beat this series
FRICK YOU
>>More arcade feeling than GT2
Tell me you drive with a controller, without telling me, that you drive with a controller. It baffles me that people have the audacity to play Gran Turismo without a steering wheel and then go talk online about it. Poorgay.
>Needs to spend hundreds so the game becomes good
>Uses expensive peripheral with a simcade like GT instead of a hardcore sim
lmaoing at you right now
I don't know if you are mentally handicapped, but there was no other sim racing in 2001. And I don't know what "hundreds of dollars" is for you. Logitech Driving Force costs like 20 dollars.
>no other sim racing in 2001.
Well that is simply not true
>I don't know if you are mentally handicapped, but there was no other sim racing in 2001
Ever heard of Microprose?
This zoomer revisionist movement is beginning to look very manufactured.
do you like monster trucks?
I think people just like the boxarts + Sony fanboyism tbh
They play like absolute garbage and cars don't at all control like cars. Also full-on quantity > quality and the best game in the series isn't even retro because the series is so generic that better graphics always means better game, so you know a Sony fanboy just wants to post a Sony game whenever you see a thread here
It's the most SOVLful entry in the series. If you don't get it, you don't get it. Some people, if you can call them that, are unable to look below the surface and see what lies beneath.
>It's the most SOVLful entry in the series
That would be 1 by far. Even the supposed strongest point of 3 is overshadowed by other games.
>vgh... le sovl...
>tire temperature display
Absolutely soulless.
GT3 has its moments too
The soul was just moved to the reverse variant.
still looks less soulful than the PS1 games
Zoomer autists get overwhelmed by the variety of GT2 and GT4.
It just isn't even fun to play and it has 0 personality
>it has 0 personality
Because it was rushed to get an early Sony blockbuster for the PS2 and the entire game feels like a tech demo which is what it is, but """"millennials"""" born in 1996 (unlike those unwashed zoomers born in 97) will tell you it's le soul because it was their first one
Which GT was in the fast and the furious? Was it the second?
In order to take you seriously I'll have to see some footage of your driving ability.
You know how it is, the ppl with the strongest opinions turn out to be complete shit at the game.
>post dick
Anyway just did the S-10 test, mind you this time would be gold in the NTSC version. I'm rusty and used to GT4 physics.
is there a steering wheel controller with pedals including the clutch? Does GT3 support that?
>steering wheel
Yes
>pedals
Yes
>clutch
No
>shifter
No
>90 deg
No
>900*
are there any retro racing games that are compatible with the full set up?
Richard Burns Rally?
Gt4, not sure about clutch though
Enthusia, same
Otherwise, just PC
The even numbered releases are always the ones you should actually play (though this might have flipped now that GT Sport wasn't numbered and now GT7 is the "improved" release on the same hardware)
I like it because it doesn't have eighteen fricking thousand Porsches
>"content"
>autocorrected phoneposter
>CONTENT
>It's praised by people who were 8 at the time
Yeah I'm thinking OP is a gay.
Well you see because 75% of the shit in your post is an outright lie
i wont read that shit. i've played 3 and 4 and the latter is slow, boring and washed up. dont give a shit about your autistic points for morons. also 3rd one ost is great.
I'm playing this game and i like it a lot. I think the only thing that i really miss about GT2 is having the horse power limit in events because i don't know if the cars i have for certain events will be too slow or too fast without going in and spending a few minutes testing, i liked it more in GT2 where there would be a HP limit in certain events and winning would be about good driving and tuning instead of just buying upgrades to outrun the other cars.
The current batch of /vr/oom schizoids is worse than the ones that came before, amazing.
>another "popular and praised game = bad" thread
yawn
Pretty soon the only good games are going to be robocod and bubsy. Tf is going on.
Nostalgia:
Far out GT3 was awesome.
Now there was an early system seller. I remember it was the driving factor in my decision to purchase a PS2 not long after its launch. The amusing thing about that is gt and gt2 hadn't interested me not even in the slightest bit in the previous generation either.
are they still making racing games in Japan?
Gran Turismo, Mario Kart, the list goes on...
What happened to the Shuto stuff? The Touge stuff? Ridge Racer? I've only seen western indie stuff based on that. Did interest in street racing and drifting completely die in Japan?
The heyday of Japanese street racing already ended in the early 90s, but those late 90s and very early 00s games and anime were at least close enough to it still. Racing game as a whole are centralized into a handful of GaaS and annual sports franchises now anyways, it's unfortunately the logical evolution of the business model.
I think they still make some stuff for arcades, I remember Arino playing some newish racing game in one of the GCCX episodes.
As someone who played the shit out of GT1 and 2, and then got a PS2 just because of GT3, it's the graphics.
PS1 had shit graphics, and the PS2 had the power to display photo realistic silky smooth graphics on a standard def TV, which is what 99% of people had at the time.
Sure it wasn't a strict upgrade from the previous entries, but the realism of the graphics sucked you in and the rest of the game was still super good it didn't matter. You knew that they were going to release a sequel that kept the graphic fidelity and added more shit. They just didn't have the time for GT3.
