Gran Turismo: Subaru Driving Simulator | PCPX-96634 | May 17, 2003

Text from TCRF: tcrf.net/Gran_...
"This demo was playable at a few different Subaru dealerships throughout Japan in 2003. Back then, these demos utilized a special sim rig setup, featuring three monitors as well as a color scheme reminiscent of Subaru's World Rally Team. As for the demo itself, it features three playable models: the Impreza Rally Car '03, the Legacy B4 2.0GT '03, and the Legacy Touring Wagon 2.0GT '03, all of which making their series debuts. The demo features two tracks: Mid-Field Raceway and Swiss Alps, which are automatically chosen based on the selected car. The gameplay consists of one lap solo races with a 120 second time limit.
With a VOL compile date of May 17, 2003, it is from around the same time as Gran Turismo 4's E3 reveal, and so a lot of the hidden courses in this demo are further along in development than they were in the earlier Lupo demo, with some even being identical to the ones shown off in GT4 during its' E3 reveal."

dude where do you even find these

[@Corbux]

Someone recently purchased one and archived it thankfully!

[@WilliamMcCarthyIII]

thank you

[@chipirey7061]

So in this Demo game (kinda) only has the Subaru collection you take them in a 1 Lap Run and that’s basically it
They do have a Multiplayer but didn’t happened at all sadly

[@KaterinUA5]

Multiplayer was probably used only during few rally events and in Polyphony headquarters, this demo was shown during GT4P Ending Movie

[@chipirey7061]

@@KaterinUA5 hmmm interesting

[@theiceman7590]

What looks better bug eyed or blob eyed WRX Impreza?

[@zoautomotive]

Was this the version that ran on the Subaru simulator?

[@KaterinUA5]

Yes. There was also a second Subaru Simulator, but that one was made not long from the First Preview demo. There we had three Subaru car and Grand Canyon available

[@kaloianmashinata5663]

yes,speaking of the second version,it was named as GT4P,so i guess the first version was a GTC version and the second one is GT4P version

[@kaloianmashinata5663]

and it also came out in May 2003,just like the other discs,which makes it the first version named as GT4P

[@KaterinUA5]

@@kaloianmashinata5663 That's a bit strange. It was GT4 "Prologue" Subaru Edition, but had HUD, arcade menu and everything else from later demos such as First Preview than retail GT4P

[@kaloianmashinata5663]

So,i guess that it is a false information and,as you mentioned the First Preview version,it appears to be a 2004 build,but some people who are also hunting for this disc,told me there was a prototype version,made in 2003,which kinda makes it more weird

[@theiceman7590]

I wonder why they did this? Are there any other new cars (new at the time) in these GT3 demos?

[@gtheskater]

Marketing of course. And yeah there are plenty of other versions, mazda for example

[@iPhantom27]

This need an iLink capable PS2 to work properly, otherwise you can't get past the menu

[@gamerxt333]

Unless a patch could edit this.

[@iPhantom27]

​@@gamerxt333Hopefully 🤞

[@KaterinUA5]

Unless there is a chance to force the game to open up time attack or single race mode instead of I.Link

[@gamerxt333]

Perhaps although regardless, the menu could likely be navigated around, if someone was determined to play this on the emulator.

[@KaterinUA5]

@@gamerxt333 I even tried to change a name of specific demo config (it's mostly to keep available only those tracks and cars supposed to be in this demo), but it can't get past the intro without it unless I change it back
