And the fact that there are Porsches even through is a non-EA game after Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed in where EA had a deal with Porsche prohibiting those cars in non-EA games until 2017.
Square was co-operated with EA way back then for US distributions and vice versa. That explains the Porsche license. Don't know one about Ferrari though lol
@@alansanchez4944 EA sometimes sublicensed Porsche out to other game studios such as Microsoft's Turn 10 (up through Forza Motorsports 3), I suspect the true reason Porsche didn't appear in more non-EA games while EA still had the master videogame license is simply that whatever EA was asking for a Porsche sublicense was too much to be worth it when the RUF license was probably much cheaper. 24 Hours of Le Mans on PS2 (a.k.a. Test Drive Le Mans on Dreamcast) had a Porsche and a Ferrari through an interesting licensing loophole: they licensed the cars through the racing teams that ran them.
The music in this game was composed by Shinji Hosoe, the same guy who made the OST of the Street Fighter EX games, the first three Tekken games and the first two Ridge Racer games,
I never heard about this game. He looks like middle-class cousin of Gran Turismo with some unique stuffs like Porsche and Ferrari license and onboard camera. Even some tracks looks like similar to GT tracks like Urban highway (similar to special stage route 5) and west coast (quite similar to seattle street).
Physics look floaty and seems to pivot from a center axis. Other than that, Porsche in a PS2 game not made by EA was pretty rare. Not to mention having a cockpit cam surprised me, though not rare. I picked up this game about a year or two ago on a whim, but haven't played it yet.
@@AdamTheMan1993 I suppose so, PGR2 is the debut game of Ferrari Enzo while PGR3 debuted F430, other games had to wait at least for 1-2 years I remember.
Sound a lot more like Fighting Layer and Street Fighter EX then Tekken, but I agree. I prefer the more upbeat tunes rather than the slow orchestrated songs we hear often in games.
Shocked seeing such detail despite early PS2 game and shocked even further seeing the cockpit view, something GT didn't have until like the PS3 game. Also not even TOCA Race Driver 1-3 look this good... What kind of sorcery is this?
This game, while not great, has the best in car camera of the time and one that took probably 15 years until someone matched it. If you can nail the controls, from the in car view, the game feels amazing.
@@volkte37 You really tried PGR3? It's been famous for the motion of camera of the in car view and was picked as one of the best games in first person view of that year.
I never thought I'd see Porsche in a non-NFS PS2 game but here we are. I'm assuming it's because Square Enix was still with EA during these times, no? Same with Ferrari?
Even watching someone playing this game, I still can feel that floaty physics in this game. (Those first person view really well detail but it didn't help much with gameplay)
Nice video by the way. Since I'm saving up to build my own gaming pc, which i'm going to use the intel cpu. I just need your opinion, which intel cpu is the best for game emulation like pcxs2 and such. Intel core i9 11900k which has a base clock of 3.50 ghz and a 5.30 turbo frequency or intel core i9 10980xe which has a base clock of 3.00 ghz and a turbo frequency of 4.60. Which do you guys think?I need your opinion so I wont make a bad decision.
Huh. I never heard of that game before and I never played it before either, but it looks good though. It closely resembles Gran Turismo, Enthusia, and R: Racing Evolution to me. At 3:27 I never the Cerumo Supra colored like that before though. I thought it was silver and orange.
@Alex It's good & fun once you get used to it Honestly, took me less than 5 mins to figure it out, ppl are just lazy to even try to figure something out
Very beautifull game. I think this is one of few games that have Porsche's car to select. The driving and controls of this game it's more similar to Need for speed/burnout, test drive or gran turismo/Toca 3? i'm thinking to adquire this game for me but i did'nt like games like test drive unlimited.
This is what happened when Square saw GT2, and say to themselves "There's that best selling sim racing game on PS1, let's make it shit", then actually make the game shit. Hot take though, I think the JP version plays better than the US/EU versions.
