Hi, dev here! Thank you for showcasing the demo. I can elaborate on a few notes that you made:
• Indeed, GT Mode will be featured in the final version, currently I've been doing the car dealers & they're almost ready, so the dealer lists almost every car on the mod, with a few hidden special cars not featured on purpose. So there's plenty to browse.
• GT Concept updated a lot of the tracks and car models, and the project features those changes as well, with additional fixes. The project most likely will not initially feature GT4P content, although it may in the future. The McLaren F1 GTR is an exception, as I was able to hex-edit the model to give it a proper night model.
• Some of the course weather environments (like foggy Midfield) are modded, as the environment data is editable. The course env data still isn't final though, so they may change.
• This demo is quite old, and a lot has been done since, and things like menu graphics are now possible. So the missing textures aren't there on final, luckily! Textures can't really yet be properly edited themselves, but they can be added to the menus and the textures can be changed.

I think that's all I wanted to touch upon, and thanks again! If anyone has any questions about the project, feel free to ask.
-EDIT: Forgot to mention. The mod will work on real hardware as well, so it is not going to be a PCSX2-only game!

Kaz wanted to put his 911 GT3 into GT3. He had to cut it, since EA obviously had the Porsche Licence. So it was scrapped in late development.

Fun Fact: If you rotate the GT3 Boxcover, you‘ll actually see the 911 GT3‘ headlights

I also appreciate how the mod author has taken the time to incorporate the model year (à la GT4) at the end of each vehicle's name. Always irritated me going back to GT3 and not seeing that.
Interested to see how this mod develops in the future!

"Modding in ps2 is fairly new"

The pirate GTA San Andreas disks with Dragon Ball mods from god knows when: am i a joke to you?

That race start jingle is from GT2 when you start the final Championship

The Porsche 911 GT3 is hidden in Gran Turismo 3's files.

Just wanna give my 2cents. The reason why some of these cars don't look familiar is that they were either limited to specific regions of GT3 (Like the Nomad Diablo GT), unimplemented cars due to licensing (like the Porsche 911 GT3), or were only unlockable via winning certain Simulation Mode events (like the S2000 LM Racecar and a number of the other LM Racecars.).

With that said, while GT3 had a limited car roster, it was always a exciting to see what you get in Simulation  Mode. Since the cars the game gave you as prizes were most often a unique variant of those cars (despite usually being models you can get from the dealership.) with unique colors and added horsepower. That last tidbit was something I never knew about till a few years ago while doing the endurance races. Something I also never knew about till recently was that a number of the LM Racecars you could win in Simulation Mode (Specifically the FTO LM Racecar, Impreza LM, and Altezza Touring) make surprisingly good rally cars. Even better than the Escudo IMO.

This is gonna be so great! Misuka really out here being a saint for the GT community.

The race start music that you hear at 4:35 is from the Gran Turismo 2 World Championship races.

Holy grail mclaren F1🔥🔥🔥gotta love that bmw v12 screaming at high rpm.

I am genuinely excited for this. Gran Turismo 3 is my all time favourite racing game. It'll be great to have a new way of playing it and also have a chance to watch streamers play it too. Great game.

This looks really cool. With all the extra content this adds I'd love to see career mode revamped too though I don't know how much work it would take. Maybe reshuffle some prize cars and what tracks use (at least use Test Course less).

great videos ! i really apprechiate the effort you keep putting into them ! Glad to see Midnight Club got some love this week too ! Keep working and you are gonna blow up

10:56 You can use an XJ220 for that event as well and save yourself even more time.
Also tyre replacements are legal too lol

The 406 might look chunky and big in the game

But its so gorgeous in person

Yes slowly we are reaching the top

So this is actually a mod confirmed now!

Im an 08 but the only console i had growing up was the Wii/ wiiU and a PS2 so i have very fond memories of gt3 aspec

I am old enough to have begged my parents to get GT3 for Xmas. Lol. I do remember even being young, I was more bored with 3 than 2 and 4. Was not a bad game or anything it just stood out that the car buying experience was not as overwhelming.

GT4's content with GT3's soundtrack is gonna be epic.
