/vr/ - Retro Games

I am convinced that Chad Turismo (1997) might be the best 5th gen console racing game.
inb4:
>Gran Turismo 2
Has more sim-like and boring car handling, most of the new tracks are bad
>Ridge Racer Type 4
Cars don't handle like cars at all, no weight transfer, unrewarding feel
>Sega Rally
Great game but too short, ends in 15 minutes
>Daytona USA
Same as Sega Rally but also shitty port
>Need for Speed High Stakes
Laggy af, too much for ps1 to handle

>controls like a dream with digital pad
>controls like a dream with analog stick
>controls like a dream with NegCon
How did they manage to do it? Most developers optimized for one input method and others felt like an afterthought.

Could the Saturn have handled this?

For me it's Gran Turismo 1 because it has very arcadey but satisfying driving, like Sega Rally but with JDM cars and customization. Sequels bore me to death though, even GT2 doesn't feel like an arcade racer anymore.
