Gran Turismo 4 - Introduction US - PS2

Anyone else get chills when the Ford GT takes off when Panama starts up?

Surely the best intro of all GTs. It's chilling.

I would literally kiss the man that made this game. This game taught me everything about cars as a kid, the countries that make the cars, almost everything I need to know when it comes to racing... You made my child hood.

Thank you Polyphony for introducing me into Van Halen Rest in piece Eddie, hope you keep rockin' on heaven!

God, this made me cry...

Van Halen goes perfectly with this intro to be honest. The cover car for the US version was the LM Spec Ford GT.

Playing the Old Gran Turismo's from 4-1 is like meeting an old friend. So much Nostalgia and since then everything has changed. We Grew up with the REAL DRIVING SIMULATOR and had so many tears, headaches and Victory Smiles. From Mission 34 to the Formula Cars to the Roulette Wheel in GT3. Gran TUrismo will forever hold the Trophy for best Simulator and Forza gains #2

This game came out in 2004 and STILL looks insane even to this day.

I literally cried man.. i missed my ps2 and playing this baby

This is the type of game intro that you can't skip. This is art, it gives you chills, you feel like a real driver, you can feel the adrenaline through your veins, you can see that every detail has been meticulously calculated. The best racing game ever.

Ainda irei recuperar os acessórios do meu PS2 e jogar este grande game até o fim! O melhor Gran Turismo, sem dúvidas!

This was my childhood! One of the best openings to a racing game ever.

after all these years i still get chills when i watch this intro.one of the best intros of all time.

a melhor intro e trilha sonora de jogo de corrida até hoje !!!

I remember watching this intro for the first time and being captivated by the opera. Then Panama starts blasting and I just go nuts. Van Halen and a Ford GT! The most American shit ever!

As if it was yesterday.... GT4 was my first game of the good 'ol PS2, played 1 and 2 on PSX, and got this one before the 3, also for PS2. Everything about this intro is a masterpiece. In the beginning you get our famous cover car, that LM SPEC FORD GT, in a lot of enviroments to show us the graphic quality of the game...then in boxes, the voices from the opera song rises as you realize car's about to hit the track: 0:58 You see each person involved in the race, everything prepares, the helmet..with "Gran Turismo 4" wrote down on it: 1:36 Then the best song choice for the opening starts, Van Halen - Panama All of the cars lining up for the race, leaving boxes... Song starts and you get "The drive of your life" in the middle of the screen: 1:56 Intros are a big part of the game...they really are They don't do them like this anymore, you get a loading screen and then the title menu, so boring I remember getting so excited for a game by looking at the intro! And this one? Cheff kiss. Lot of intros really get me nostalgic and I get chills watching them, this is one Resident Evil 3 - Nemesis's intro too, Nightmare Creatures 2 with Demonoid Phenomenon from Rob Zombie, Sonic Adventure's intro is amazing too BRING BACK GOOD INTROS FOR JESUS CHRIST!

One of the best game intro ever made in gaming history . It never get old.

This is the best fucking intro to a game I think I remember ever seeing. Miss this game, might have to go buy a PS2 and this game again just for the hell of it!

2004 was the best Year for PS2! such a great Games like Gran Turismo 4, GTA:San Andreas and many others  ^_^

For 3 years of my life, GT4 was my only friend, my only coping mechanism, my only scape from the world. And I don't give a FLYING F*** if you think that a better intro for a game exist, but FOR ME this will be forever my favorite intro, my favorite soundtrack, and my favorite game, because it was the only thing I had at that time, that kept me from thinking and doing the worst. Thank you Polyphony, for keeping me alive at one of my worst and darkest times! ❤️
