In 2009, a Flash game was released to promote Gran Turismo PSP that has since been largely forgotten. Does it deserve its obscurity or should it be more widely remembered?
Corrections:
0:28 Extra clarification: Kerb's main business seemed to be digital marketing, and they only started their game studio in 2009 (www.gamedeveloper.com/game-pl...)
1:12 The "didn't feel confident" part comes from Kerb's upload of the game onto Newgrounds, not their website as I implied (www.newgrounds.com/portal/vie...)

Ironic that there's a mini game to identify car sounds considering that for the longest time, GT's engine sounds were vacuum cleaners lol.

@FemboyTrain 27 күн бұрын

I mean, they were some cars with nice engine sounds. But only a few yeah xD

@AlexanTheMan 27 күн бұрын

Surprisingly distinct sounding vacuum cleaners at least. You'd have to have played those PS3 games to understand.

Are the engine notes in GT Skills taken from GT PSP? If so, it is the worst minigame ever made

Huh, not suprised i'd never heard of this one before. There's some sort of melancholic nostalgia I feel for missing out on tie-ins like this. They're pretty much dead nowadays. No magazine promotions, no flash game DLC, nothing... (not that I know of) very sad.

It's still such a shame GT PSP started as a port of GT4 and then they decided to do literally anything else

@morsecode980 23 күн бұрын

The PSP probably wasn’t able to do it so they had to change plans

@pian-0g445 Сағат бұрын

@@morsecode980that wasn’t really the issue. The only major hardware constraint was no. Of ai on track. But most likely the reason for portable being the way it is, is they wanted it to be a ‘companion’ game. An issue a lot of portable ports have is the original game may not work well in the setting of portable gaming. Takes too much time, for when you just want something quick to play. But doesn’t make sense for GT since it basically was that already. All they had to do was not include any long races or really large tracks.

@earthboiproductions2407 27 күн бұрын

RR2 is so peak. A mobile racing game with good physics, an entire singleplayer campaign, a great soundtrack, and LAN and online multiplayer… it seemed impossible then due to hardware limitations, and it seems impossible now due to the unfortunate direction mobile games have gone. Glad to see another person who recognized the music though!

Very good video, I never knew that there were other ways to get the SP models at the time (other than the PS Store having them available and also to a lesser extent, the Japanese pre-order, since I own a poster promoting that and both my JP GTPSP games have cards with the codes), and I especially didn't know that there was a stinking flash game used to promote the game at the time in Europe, thanks!
