I forgot one thing, I would put the CLK-GTR, CLK-DTM(No cheating way) and F1 GTR!!!!!

The only way that they were able to get the "high-res" was because in high-res mode there were no other cars except for you............they took that extra processing power that free'd up and used it on the graphics.
Trade off guys...............race alone, or lose a little on the graphics..............
And remember, back when the game was made, that was cutting edge, it pushed the limits of programming, so don't be too quick to judge harshly.

It would need to be lower than that, but why bother, you can play the old PS games on the PS2 and you upgrade the graphics and load times as well. GT looks mighty fine on the PS2 with better graphics. GT2 I haven't really tried yet.
I also disagree that GT4 will be the new GT2. GT2 was a worse product than GT, I hope that GT4 isn't going to be worse than GT3.

I don't think GT4 will be worse than the 3rd game. For one thing, they've spent plenty of time getting it ready and the release date has fallen back to 2/25/05 I think. They didn't try to rush it out for the '04 Christmas season! Seems they learned their lesson there.
I agree about the PS2 graphix, which are subtly better. Well, I shouldn't say better...I'll say I prefer them more. I put my PS2 slim on smooth graphics setting and I notice the tire smoke looks more like smoke. Also, some of the sponsors on the race-modified cars look not so harsh to me.

Exactly, you guys are use to GT3, that makes GT2 look like crap, when GT2 came out that game was the best PS1 graphics ever, I remember everyone saying that back in 2000 on a diffrent forum.
And GT4 is going to 10 times better than GT3 from what I have seen and heard. I just don't understand the whole picture thing that has been added or B-Spec, if you wanted to watch the computer race, watch a demo.

Excuse me but I play GT far more than either GT2 or 3 and GT has better graphics. Everybody agrees that the GT2 graphics suffered because they used up the PS1's memory on all the cars that were included. In m,y opinon they would have done better not to include so many variants of the same car and have upgraded the graphics, or even kept them @ the same.

it amazes me how many people think GT2 has better graphix than the first game! If I were an optomologist, I could make a living filling prescriptions for all the folks who can't see how crappy GT2 graphix are in comparison.
Really what it comes down to is consistency: some of the cars in GT2 look awesome (a lot of the classic vintage cars, for instance), but a great majority of them don't look refined..or they have way too much shine on them...

Below is how it acts with the stock rim size.

I would make sure the cars all had better sound. None of the cars (especially the muscle cars) have a throaty sound...they don't even seem like they are pushing hard. I would also combine all the different "cities" because I hate browsing through north, south, east and west....just confusing. And...just for comical effect, I would make all menu music the song from the Car Wash....that cracks me up every time I hear it. I think the biggest problem with GT2 was that it was too easy....I say that once you complete a race/championship that earns you a car, you don't get it again (because racing the same race over and over just to sell the car is cheap-but I do it). And I hated how the hp rating for a car would be 276 for example at the car dealer, and then in your garage its 321...thus making it illegal in 295hp races. And the hp ratings should be more strict...or even restrict entries with a maximum hp to weight ratio....that would be better than hp. One last thing, the class restrictions should be enforced....only station wagons, convertables, 80's sports cars, etc... in their races. I think the only one that was enforced was the K Car races, correct?
