Top Gear and GT4 subsequently influenced in me replacing the Lotus with a new Evo IX 4 years ago.
Even though it pales in comparison to GT5P, I still play GT4 occasionally (since I still haven't completed it). Some of the GT4 races are a lot harder than anything in GT5P though. #granturismo

When I watched the intro, my jaw almost literally dropped. It neevr happened since. I remember playing it for three years, and buying it several times over.The incredible thing is that EVRY SINGLE TIME I played it, I loved it more. Did you read that sentence? Did you, reallly? FOR THREEYEARS, EVERY new play made me love the game even more. Never a game has revolutionized its genre more than GT1. GT2, GT3, GT4 had no chnace of living up to that. Even though GT3 came close. But GT1 was a giant leap for gaming in general, EVERYTHING in it was perfect; the Music, the speed, the never-before-seen "Gran Turismo" carreer mode, the stats, the cars, the atomsphere, the tracks, the difficulty curve, the multiplayer , the replays..ah those fucking replays.
Ah, that Garbage song..and the disappointment that GT2 was (my most eagerly anticipated game before the insane hype for MGS2 killed everything else in sight)
It's up there with (in no particular order) MGS1, Tetris,Great Sex, good Coffee, nature, beautiful Music as one the stimulating THINGS EVER. #granturismo

No.3 should be GTR...or perhaps it should be no.2. Either way, you can't exclude it. #granturismo

Now, we have quite a selection between arcade-like racing games to realistic racing games for all platforms. However, I am interested after GT5 launches, will "realistic" racing games continue to sell like the previous GT games. #granturismo

Amazing to think how much the graphics have changed in just a decade. #granturismo

Funny to think that back then my friends were calling that "realistic" and now that we're pretty damn close it seems I see people wanting to point out the "faults" quite often. #granturismo

When I started gaming it was black and white boxes on the screen so pretty much any graphics are a vast improvement. It always amuses me when you hear people bashing the wii as having N64 standard graphics or that a game with graphics that aren't uber-realistic is unplayable. #granturismo

As much as I hate FF7, I have to agree with this partly. It was quite ground breaking and made the ps1 a smash hit. Metal gear solid 1 did play a big role also though. #granturismo

Oh and unlike Polphony Digital. Square actually releases sequels on a steady basis. They don't take decades long to make a games. #granturismo

Wipeout, Ridge Racer, Destruction Derby, Rapid Racer..
THOSE are what made the Playstation.
(And Tomb Raider, and Crash Bandicoot, but they're not racers, obviously!!) #granturismo
