Gran Turismo 2: Beige Edition is a fan-made mod for the original Gran Turismo 2.
🎮 Target Platform
- Original Platform: Sony PlayStation (PS1)
- Mod Platform: PlayStation Hardware and Software Emulators
🗓️ Release Date
- Current Status: The mod is currently in development and has no set, full release date yet. Developers have stated they will be providing updates and have released teaser trailers and car showcases.
📋 Key Features and Focus
- Concept: The mod’s core concept is a humorous celebration of “automotive mediocrity”—it focuses on adding “unexceptional cars of the world,” such as everyday compacts, minivans, and unloved/generic metal from the late 1990s, often removing high-end supercars and dedicated race cars.
Car List Expansion:
- Promises over 330 brand new cars from over 50 manufacturers.
- Includes over 150 trim and model edits to existing cars in the base game, often replacing performance trims with more basic road versions (e.g., replacing a top-tier sports car with its mundane base model).
Gameplay Changes:
- A completely revamped career mode, presumably with new championships tailored to the “beige” car list.
- Redesigned menus, assets, and logos.
- A universal used-car dealership (a feature not present for all regions/manufacturers in the original GT2).
- A new in-race soundtrack.
In essence, it takes the classic PS1 racing simulator and shifts the focus from high-performance racing to the fun of modifying and racing common, everyday vehicles.
Really looking forward to this 🙂
