Celebrating 15 Years of Gran Turismo with Ferino Design

Michael Leary · · 107 Comments

While this week’s Weekly Rewind may very well have taken a backseat to the influx of news relating to Gran Turismo 6, there was no way I was going to let this slip through the cracks without the proper acknowledgement.

After three months of hard work, GTPlanet’s own jBhIpS has created an exciting video celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Gran Turismo franchise and the end result clearly pays dividends to the amount of work involved as it comes across as an official piece of work; not an easy feat by any stretch.

For those that are interested in the amount of work that went into creating this piece, here are the facts about the video:

  • More than 50 cars
  • Absolutely all the tracks from the game including DLС and track editor
  • Everything in the video was shot of the game plus the 3d render
  • Driven over 1200 rounds on all routes to find the best shots
  • Also in the video are 5 different music tracks from various GT games
  • In one of the highlights of the video used 52 logos for all premium car brands available  in the game
  • In the video you can also see some more mention of anniversaries: Lamborghin’s 50th anniversary, 50th anniversary of Autodelta, 100th anniversary of Bertone, and the 90th anniversary of Le Mans races
  • Important addition: I have used basically just blue and red colors of cars to pass the color of the logo (GT) and the spirit of competition (it was difficult because I used only the original car colors)
  • Total recorded and selected footage: 395 uncompressed files or 217GB of data

Should you want to commend Illya on this spectacular tribute video then be sure to stop by his video thread, Ferino Design, and let him know how much his hard work has paid off!

    Awesome video!

    Just one observation, this video is only GT5 related, if this is a celebration of 15 years of Gran Turismo it would be nice to see the past of Gran Turimo maybe?

    Don’t get me wrong though, the video is top notch!

    You know, Grand Turismo has something that a lot of racing games don’t have……Heritage. Let there be 15 years more of Grand Turismo.

  7. KFM

    Wow.. That is some undeniably professional work. Truly stunning video. Amazing work, jBhIpS, really top notch.

    Holy damn it !!! AWESOME video!!! It totally gave me G O O S E B U M P S while watching since it reminded me of GranTurismo 1 movie. I’m 20 yrs old I can’t believe this game has been part of my life for 14 yrs now…
    I just can’t wait for the GT6 Demo :)

    CHEERS everybody! Let’s keep this GT Community alive.

  18. symustafa1996

    The slow-mo parts should have been close ups of cars. Anyway, the first half gave me chills!

  19. Slender_Man

    PERFECTION!!! no better way to say it and the music has been chosen perfectly too. Awesome work :D

  23. dwilliams1985

    What a tribute, can you imagine if PD put slow motion into the replays, there would be far less miles driven by everyone haha, people would be too amazed at their own videos!

  26. 7Sins

    Good vid but if it was a 15 year anniversary special, where are the vids of older Gt games? I was expecting a trip down memory lane.

  27. Deko Wolf-GTPT

    Ah yes. He never fails to amaze me. You guys should check out his other works, he does some amazing stuff!

  29. silicon1138

    Really terrific – an outstanding piece of work, well done. I’ve never seen the Mercedes in that red racing scheme at 3:57. How do you get that?

    1. ICEMAN_ZIDANE

      Its the SL Stealth Car or how was it called ? If you had bought a special editon of GT you would get it ..

  33. Kobooi

    So much better than anything I’ve ever seen from PD. Shows once again PD doesn’t understand game making anymore, it’s not only about letting a car go as realistic as possible around a track.

  38. HKS racer

    This video CLARLY SHOW why GT series don’t need standard cars anymore.

    Absolutely brilliant and consistent showing the actual good stuff in GT5.

  40. JaySamurai

    That was sick. Just woke up and now tucking into some breakfast, logged onto gtp and saw this. Got me so hyped that after eating i’m going to put on my Turtal Beach headset and dash GT5 into the ps3.

    I really do like this website not just for what takes place in development of the franchise, but of it’s acknowledgement of what fans of the series gets up to and things that take place outside of the game.

    So GT brother’s join me in raising your glasses, TO THE GT BROTHERHOOD AND BEYOND!!

    I seriously need to lay off the pipe…

  41. Tallgeese69

    Such an amazing clip. I agree with a lot of you in which this should be part of the opening cinematicas to our upcoming title

  44. gtrx251

    MORE..MORE..MORE..ReaL TrackS__and_ ReaL_ CarSSS__ AND sound_car_better_Please or Peace !!!! GT5 or GT6 GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!___________ LOL LOL LOL !!!

  51. Daisey273

    Great video and contribution to the viewing community. Well in! :D

    (love the logo flashes, great replication to bring the users back into GT1)

  54. FiftyBelowZero

    Absolutely beautiful, it made me cry. Gran Turismo is truly amazing. GT changed my life only at age two. The music, the colours – awesome. Thx for the awesome video.

  58. infamousphil

    A job very well done. Now if Ferino Design had a premium Nismo GT-R R33 LM road car to work with, I would have been ready to be called to glory ;) Hope I’m ready for the GT6 intro.

  59. ScotteDawg

    First thing I have to say is “AMAZING”! A hell of a lot of time and effort put into this. Well done!

    Second thing – PD should use this as the opening of GT6 WITH the “15 Years Of Gran Turismo” tags in place! Just that small part of it makes it brilliant and PD shouldn’t let that go in releasing GT6!

    Third thing, and this is a bit of a down note but, when I read the intro before watching the video, I was sort of expecting vision from all 5 games of the series to show the evolution of the game. Not that I was disappointed because I surely was not, but it would have been cool to see!

  61. chevyisthebest

    That was amazing!!! they should make that into a commercial and put it on tv (they obviously need to make it shorter, maybe down to a 1:05 to include all the goods!)

  64. steleb

    wow this was really well made looks like it was made by pd/sony but its not that’s what makes it even more awesome!!!!!!!

  66. Fragolas79

    Great job. PD put your eyes on this, incoming gt6 should be directed by Ferino Design. Good luck, you have my vote for that! :)

  68. doodlemonoply

    I got goosebumps and I started to cry when I watched this. I’m speechless. I really am.

  75. 6ix

    I don’t post here much (or at all actually) but I just have to say… this video is awesome! Very, very well done!

  78. Nuuj

    I think I spy a worthy Opening Video for GT6 lol, but no seriously this is epic, I would download this and save it on my PS3 if I could..

  81. AlfaFoxSierra

    Breathtaking!!! It takes passion to do something like this. Such an amazing and passionate work. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece brother. Keep strengthening the community. Congratulations!

  82. notStig

    I’m speechless. Awesome job, jBhIp!
    PD should show it on E3. Or Gamescon. Or TGS. Or on all of those… :)

  86. GT911

    Wow congratulation for the video! That hard work is worth it to see many times hope PD can see it!
