While perusing the list of PSOne Classics on PSN, I noticed that Gran Turismo and its sequels were surprisingly absent. Jet Moto and Rally Cross made the cut, but Sony hasn’t delivered the celebrated racing franchise that essentially put PlayStation on the map, and it’s clear why. Gran Turismo is a disposable franchise.

Almost 20 years after its release, a set of cheat codes for the PS2 game Gran Turismo 4 has been discovered.
The article SHOULD say, “BLAST FROM THE PAST! Old school gamers in awe as GT4 cheat codes are discovered after 2 decades. These “cheats” offered free treats for gamers added time savers, additional ways to play, and more. Some magazines had sections or complete issues dedicated to them. Sound strange? Gamers today know them by another name, DLC or Downloadable content…
GT4 was my first ps2 game. I loved it, but the disc stopped working before I could complete it and I never got it replaced feelsbadman.
Ever wondered what the best selling PlayStation 2 games of all time are? Well, wonder no more! Here's the full top 10, and what they meant to the PlayStation brand at the time.
From Digital Foundry: "Welcome to the third part in the biggest DF Retro episode we've ever produced - a year-by-year look at how 1080p gaming fared on the PlayStation 3. Launched in 2007 touting its then-exclusive HDMI digital interface, Sony layered full HD gaming on top of its Cell processor and RSX 'Reality Synthesizer' as key selling points for its third generation console. Of course, we all know how that turned out - both Sony and Microsoft machines routinely ran the most advanced titles at sub-720p resolutions, often with questionable performance, so what happened to the 1080p dream?
In the first two parts of John Linneman's investigation, we've covered off the first four years of the Triple's lifecycle and moving into 2010, the overall fortunes of the PlayStation 3 continued to improve. The platform holder released - what was then - the most advanced motion controller in the console space, backed up by experiments with stereoscopic 3D, which turned out to be a short-lived but still formidable pairing. Combined with a strong E3 showing, PS3 was looking good.
However, it's fair to say that it was a fallow year for 1080p gaming on the system, with only Scott Pilgrim Saves The World's razor-sharp pixel art upscaling, Castle Crashers and Soldner X2's 3D/FMV stylings accommodating full HD output - alongside a wonderful Monkey Island remaster."
Just remember ladies and gentlemen, Sony never said all games would be 1080p. Only that the system would support games up to 1080p in a survey before the system was released.

And as we saw, some games did support it, some games tried their best to support it and some games didn't or never reached it.
Is a higher resolution great to have if you can do it? Sure. Is it necessary for a fun game? No
But what I find interesting is Eurogamer. Are they really talking about HD and PS3 in their article or are they really pushing their 4.50 Euros 4K video download subscription? Seems one is being used to sell the other. Just look at the bottom of the article.
This really feels like a filler article. I don't feel like I learned anything notable or substantial from this. I feel they could have reduced the unnecessary intro and over-explanation of things and put the whole series in one article for a more substantial and possibly informative piece rather than piece-mealing it out as they have.
What's the point of playing GT 1 when you can play GT 5 Prologue ( and GT 5 soon ) ?
@ Alpha-Male22 : There are PS1 titles which are still enjoyable.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sony released GT1 on PSN right before GT5 comes out. Why not?
This article = Oil
N4G Users = Fire
Do the math
What kind of oil? Are we talking brent crude or virgin olive?
Yeah sure.
Well they're not, not fun. I mean they're not really less fun than they were then, the difference is you can have much more, playing the latest iteration, so that renders your fun on the past titles - seeming not so fun, when put into context.
Fifa 07 can still be fun. Nothin' wrong with it, but why play it if you have Fifa 10?
