"Gran Turismo 4" named best racing game by Watchmojo.com

That's right, folks. GT4 was named the best racing game of all time by Watchmojo.com.


I think they got it right. I've played GT1 through GT6 and although 5 and 6 are in HD, GT4 on the PS2 has much better sense of speed. When I'm going 80 mph in GT4 it feels like it. Somehow in 5 and 6 it doesn't and GT4 is a very deep offline game in comparison. GT4 looks great on 51" plasma in 1080i. All in all I think the game is the high point of the franchise and probably always will be.
 
What no DiRT 2 Richard Burns Rally anywhere? Not even an honorable mention?

Fixed :P

And now comes the mandatory "I have" game.

8, 6, 3, 1 and Honorable Mention 1. I'm quite satisfied that I seem to have a decent taste when it comes to racing games.

Totally deserved, though. GT4 was the benchmark for a new generation of racing games. And I'm about ready to say that the succes of GT4 (and 3) were what made other developers cry out that they could do better (far most couldn't. The only ones that succeeded, from top of my head, is Race Driver and Forza). Like I said, GT4 was a benchmark.

GT4 set the bar so high as it was such a great all rounder, graphics, music, range of cars, realism and ease of use as well as winning. great game.
 
Too bad I never played it. They do seem to be going for popularity though, everybody here knows how good Enthusia was.
