MattJ155 | Gran Turismo - Preview Build V1 - Arcade Mode @MattJ155 | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
Hi everyone! So, a couple of months ago, I got the opportunity to purchase my second pre-release version of the original Gran Turismo, the first being the Preview Build V2 that I've previously covered on the channel.
This is an older build, dating to early September 1997, meaning that it's only a month newer than the Test Drive Disc - the oldest build of Gran Turismo we currently have - and the second oldest build of Gran Turismo ever discovered.
Join me as we dive into Arcade Mode on the Preview Build V1. Hopefully, Gran Turismo Mode should be covered soon!
Also, I wanted to discuss a popular question I get asked whenever I upload footage of a disc from my collection: "Are you going to release it?" For me, this is always a tough question to answer. That's because on one hand, I fully appreciate that people want to play these builds, but also they cost me a lot of money to buy.
I want to make it clear that I absolutely don't have a problem with people asking if I will release it. I've released items from my collection before - not always Gran Turismo related - but still discs that are very hard to come by.
However, what I do have a problem with is people almost demanding that I release it. I absolutely hold nothing against the people who ask nicely at all. :) And to answer the question, I'm probably unlikely to release it any time soon, as I'm still exploring it myself, and together with a friend, we're trying to make GT Mode accessible too. But in the future, yes!
