Superb start to the series. Opening video instantly throws me back to my childhood, along with all the background music and OST. Breezing through this game is quite fun even today, although steering control in general is tricky to get right.
An astonishing achievement and clear labor of love given the level of detail and simulation - way ahead of its time. There are over 100 authentically recreated real world cars! I'm not really a racing game guy - that has to have been unheard of for a '90s console game, right?
The manual is essentially a physics textbook, which is hilarious, but for all the complexity of the rigorously realistic design, the actual racing is kind of easy and exploitable. The two in-depth single-player modes are great, and the scale of the marquee simulation mode is staggering, resembling much more modern games in its open-endedness and customizability. Lot going on here!
I have to imagine that people were floored by this when it came out. Set aside the phenomenal graphics on PS1, the vibe is so choice. I'm only just playing it for the first time now but that opening cutscene was giving me chills.

I loved this game through and through. I'm a big petrol head and I loved this game just as much as I love GT4 as a kid. It was fun to race with my gf watching me and she would suggest how to make my car faster and better and we had a great time working our way through the game. It was great fun all the way through and I made sure to complete as much as I could until my file was corrupted and I couldn't progress after completion of the GT World Cup. Otherwise, I would have 100% of this game and collected all the cars.
Base de um dos melhores simuladores de corrida de todos os tempos, ainda totalmente jogável até os dias de hoje.
Played on the Duckstation Emulator on PC using an Xbox One controller. The physics and handling model aged much better than I had expected them too. Fun car selection. I'm pretty fond of the lack of tracks, it actually allowed me to learn them all and start to master them. Disparity in AI car difficulty is races is pretty rough. Also, putting a big turbo on a car makes it take over 10 seconds to get out of 1st gear? There had to be a more elegant way to do that, extremely frustrating. All in all a pretty amazing first effort when you consider the landscape of racing games at the time of its creation. It's pretty barebones but does everything you want it to do rather well.
Gran Turismo is, without a doubt, my all-time favorite car racing game. Whenever I feel like playing a racing game, it's always my go-to choice. I revisited it in 2018 with the intention of completing all the licenses and tournaments, but unfortunately, I couldn't go as far as I wanted. Balancing multiple games at the same time proved challenging, as my time is limited.
I love how the cars handle and I like that you can upgrade them you can even make them think every single one of them looks like full-on race cars! and I think you can have a nice relationship with the cars you choose since there's not that many. lastly, the most expensive cars that cost like 500k from each dealership are fast af and cool that's all thanks :)
Great handling, graphics and music. The arcade mode is very fun.
But the simulation mode is for hardcore carheads, like my brother who loves this series. I couldn't beat the first test in the B2 license required to participate in tournaments. And the whole thing is very confusing for me.

De quando em quando, volto a terminar o primeiro GT. Esse jogo me acompanha desde sempre. Para mim, já deixou de ser somente um jogo e se transformou em uma experiência quase mística, faz eu sentir a presença de gente que nem tá mais aqui. É até difícil de explicar. Me dá um barato intenso demais.

This game historical importance can't be denied, I played it a few weeks but decided to shelved it to pick it up again when I finish Gran Turismo 2, but it gave me a first good impresion, I truly appreciate that runs more smoothly than its sequel. I would not recommend this as an entry title in the series, but for I have seen online you can complete this game faster than other main games on the series.

Primeiro GT, esse jogo é uma masterpiece.
Good game but why play this one while GT2 is right there, I would rate this little higher if it was the only game in the series though.
get inconvenienced kid xd
Agora eu entendo a importância desse jogo, um ótimo simulador para a época e melhor que muitos atuais de hoje.
Played on PC via https://www.miniplay.com/game/gran-turismo. This is a GREAT racer even on PC. The graphics looked better than I expected for PS1 standards. Get this game on the PlayStation 1 (If you still own one) or go to the site I put the link down to play this wonderful racer. Great job SCEI (Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.) keep this wonderful series on the ball with the sequels.
Surpreendente para a época
1997 e um jogo que te dá mais de 100 carros com inúmeras formas de tunning de performance e que possui mais de 10 pistas não tem como ser ruim, isso é um fato. Na época, não tinha nada que chegasse perto de Gran Turismo, até mesmo pq a proposta mais simulador, só tinha de fato sob o "capô" do exclusivo do Playstation. Need for Speed, Test Drive, Ridge Racer, todos esses e muitos outros eram mais arcade e simples.
Entretanto, o primeiro Gran Turismo, que abriu as portas para essa franquia ser o que é hoje, é um jogo apenas legal hoje em dia. Com toda certeza desse mundo é um game que vale a pena ser experimentado. O fato de você ter que desbloquear seu caminho através dos testes de direção era uma parada bem legal, mas que hoje em dia, pra mim, é cansativo.
Tunar os carros é muito simples, mas se você não souber configurar o que você acabou de instalar, você terá alguns carros bem desbalanceados que, em determinadas curvas, podem rodar com muita facilidade.
Atrelado a isso da dirigibilidade, alguns carros, mesmo sem nenhum upgrade, possuem uma direção bem estranha e chatinha de pegar o jeito.
De resto, o jogo acerta em bastante coisa. Não é vazio, pois apresenta tipos de corrida diferentes para carros de determinados países e por aí vai. Inclusive isso é uma coisa que instigaria você a ter outro carro daquele pais ou daquela especificação para testar, já que você pode ter muitos carros na garagem, mas como eu disse antes, muitas coisas não me pegaram tanto hoje em dia, fiz os testes de direção, competi nas ligas (com muito save state na corrida de 60 voltas da Gran Valley) e tive alguns bons problemas com a dirigibilidade que me fizeram querer terminar com muito mais rapidez.

To the very day my favorite racing game. The music was simply the best.
I'm sticking to Mario Kart for now...
dated and it shows
Probably one of the most influential racing games to exist and it's still just as fun to play as it was 20 years ago. It was perhaps made a tiny bit redundant by its masterpiece of a sequel, but it still remains very special to me.
Classic, but it was great at the time
a really important motorsport game for the time
O jogo que inventou o carro
Great first entry into an excellent sim racing franchise. Loved the hi res mode at the completion of the game. The only thing holding it back are it’s shorter length than most other sim racers
Fun if you put on Initial D music and play with a Honda Civic
Still playing!!
Reconheço que é um bom jogo e foi muito importante pra época, mas não consigo me dar bem com simuladores
All I remember about playing this game was, driving in reverse and causing as much chaos as possible.
Very faint childhood memory, but yeah racing games like this one I was never particularly good at.

Zamanına göre gerçekten müthiş bir başarı. Kontroller ve fizikler zamanın ötesinde fakat şuan değil. Fizikler özellikle frenleme ve viraj alma konusunda çok hassas. Özellikle early gamede araç fizikleri puding gibi.
