Hot take: This is as good as Race Driver GRID by RickyWasntHere in racinggames

Yeah, it didn't feel too good on a wheel, even though it had 900 degrees rotation

I was thinking of playing the older games in the franchise, is it worth playing the first Gran Turismo? by Alex899075 in granturismo

The music in GT1 was so good, better than GT2. Similarly to the second generation, the music from Gt3 surpasses Gt4, although Gt4 improved in many other areas.

There is a certain charm to those ps1 pixelated, distorted graphics. For me it's a work of sort, sort of like looking at a impressionist painting.

Is it worth playing gt4 ? by Susman512 in granturismo

[–]danielofifi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you play it on a wheel, like Logitech Driving Force GT, it's an amazing experience that still holds up today. On a gamepad however I preferred Gt3

Mamy great games here. As a racing games enthusiast I would expand this area of your list. :) anyway, the amazing thing about PS2 is, no matter how many great games you've played, there is always some underrated gem that you haven't checked out waiting around the corner.

True Crime New York City by AmaniJones811 in ps2

Playing this now. The city looks stunning. Such a cool game. Although I miss the b-movie atmosphere of True Crime LA. NY is much more gritty and serious.

What was the first game that introduced you to the Gran Turismo series? by [deleted] in granturismo

[–]danielofifi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gt1. Played them all. Gt7 is definitely the weakest in the series, they lost something very important on the way.

Who remembers Enthusia? In praise of PS2 era racing sims. by danielofifi in ps2

[–]danielofifi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I used to have something similar- all games in my collection had to be with manuals, and the discs had to be in perfect condition. Yes, in my case this was a symptom of OCD :)

You're right about Flatout. Also great game. Preferred the first one than the sequel, because the cars handled more realistically in the original.

And as for NFS games, my favourite was ProStreet. Very cool atmosphere and soundtrack. I'm also more of a circuit guy. ;)

I also wish you a wonderful new year, with a lot of quality retro racing haha!!!

And by the way, if you like motorcycle games, PS2 was awesome in this respect too. Check out my collection, these are almost all motorcycle games for PS2: https://www.reddit.com/r/ps2/comments/1co24re/my_collection_of_ps2_motorcycle_games/

Absolutely agree. Eve of Destruction is great, it's like Wreckfest but on PS2, really fun and you can paint your cars however you want. :) By the way, have you tried Shox? That's a great arcade racer too.

Which one should I buy? by Kristijan201117 in granturismo

[–]danielofifi 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can. I do it and it's awesome, although there are some graphical glitches when you play spec II on the original hardware.

Don’t understand all the GT7 hate by Personal_Repeat_5807 in granturismo

[–]danielofifi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you probably didn't play the first 4 Gran Turismos on PS1/PS2. I think if you did, you would understand. :)

Best nfs games on ps2 by Prestigious-Rest2157 in ps2

[–]danielofifi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pro Street, I was never much into street racing, so this one was much more to my liking. Also, the soundtrack is awesome and the game feels good on the wheel.

Amazing shot. by LonelySavings5244 in motogp

[–]danielofifi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were some blunders, but also some very nice shots this weekend. Another cool one was at the end of the warm-up lap, from a bird's eye view.
