/vr/ - Retro Games

DAAAYYYTOOOONNNNNAAAAAAAAA

sorry, I have nothing to contribute other than that.

F-Zero X all day every day

pole position

Diddy Kong Racing all day.

Gotta love that hub world, those solid kart racing mechanics, and at the time it was amazing aesthetically and grafix wise for its time. The variety of cart, planes, and boats took it a step above the other cart racers of its time.

My friends and I had many hours of enjoyment with that game.

RC Pro-am
Al Unser Jr. Turbo Racing
Wipeout and F-Zero

Al Unser Jr Turbo Racing is pretty good.

My all-time favorite is probably Iron Man Stewart's Super Off-Road though.

Op again, looking good so far. Anyway, might as well bring up pic related since it was going to be the original op image until I decided to create a racing general altogether. It's a pretty interesting racing game for the ps1 that reminded me of initial d since you can drive a trueno like in the show/manga. Seemed pretty fun but for it to have its own thread seemed unnecessary.

>>1442791
But of course, what's the point of bringing up a game without some game play?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm4iGSXfzjg&app=desktop

Gonna bump with another game. Despite being Mario kart with Disney characters, it's really good looking and pretty fun.

I play this dressed in drag pretending I'm Violet Berlin

Well obviously Daytona USA, but other favorites are Rollcage, TOCA Touring Car Championship, Wipeout, Re Volt, Motorhead and Destruction Derby 2, one of my favorite games ever.

>>1442791

Is that you, AlphaOmegaSin?

I should get back to Beetle Adventure Racing.

Do yourself a favour
Boot up that SSF emulator and play Sega Rally
It's a very small racing game 3 tracks + 2 cars (discarding the hidden stage and stratos) however the stages are carefully constructed and mastering them requires a lot of practice
Don't just dismiss it on your first try, it takes a while to get used to it, but it's very rewarding when you manage to control the dirt slides

And you say you like the daytona usa music? Same composer, the great takenobu mitsuyoshi, also from shenmue fame.

>>1442659
GX is a million times better though

I've recently discovered the Touge Max series for PS1 and apparently Saturn, though I can't find any info on Saturn releases.

The second game seems best since it has a ton of Japanese cars from the mid to late 80s all the way up to when the game was released.

There's an emphasis on drifting but I'm kind of terrible at the game currently. Seems pretty cool, though.

Are driving games that aren't racing games welcome?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQbMtEIARL4

>>1443497

What about TOCA2? That game was pretty damn good back then.

Also, any love for this bad boy?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsCAbQL_qIY
The wing mechanic was interesting and the stunt mode kept you coming back for more.

>>1443514

It's probably the best racing game ever made...that I've played. Can anyone convince me otherwise?

first pay 2 win game.

>>1443504
I thought I was the only person talking about that game. I finally beat it and holy shit that fucking rubber banding Ai is evil. I'm glad I beat all the modes, I got the cool cop car.

>>1443574

I never played TOCA 2, sorry.

Brofist for SF Rush. Ever played the Destruction Derby series?

>>1443541
... I'll allow it, just this one time.

Gran Turismo 2
Wip3out: Special Edition
Super Hang-On (I like the 3DS/eShop version the most because the screen rotates when I turn)
Kawasaki Superbike Challenge (Not much challenging as a racer)
Virtua Racing 32X

Why is every racer Sega is involved with end up being great? I'm sure they've made a bad game or two, but seriously do they know racing or what?

>>1443584

Only on the N64, which is a shame because I hear it's on par with the worst ones on PS1.

This game. This fucking great game.

>>1443525
High Velocity's a Western port of the original for the Saturn, has an awesome light tunnel and surprisingly solid visuals for its time.

>introduced sedbandb

I've had a really strong itch to play NFS 3: Hot Pursuit. Sadly all my local stores don't have it and I'm not gonna bother w/ the newer ones because I know it's a nostalgic itch that needs scratching.

>>1444242
The old school NFS games were the best. Once they hit the sixth gen consoles, they went to shit and still haven't recovered.

>>1444242
>>1444247
Hot Pursuit is amazing, but High Stakes is even better.
>How do we improve on this sequel?
>Well first let's just include all the stuff from the last game, and go from there

Splitscreen multiplayer, campaign mode, cops, 2-player knockout mode turns the loser into a truck that can block most of the path. Oh, and PITing mechanics were the greatest thing ever, no other racing game allows you to fuck over another car so sweetly.
Good times.

>>1444247

Ya, I was almost tempted to buy the newest Hot Pursuit game on Steam today cause it's on sale for $4.99 but I'd rather just use the money buying a used copy of NFS3:HP instead.

>>1444247
I already thought noone's gonna mention them. The first game was the shit. Played the hell out of it in school, including lan multiplayer. Good times.

>>1442654
Some of my favorites are F-Zero X, Extreme-G, Pole Position, and Enduro.
Since you've probably heard of those, check out this homebrew game for 2600 that came out recently:
http://atariage.com/forums/topic/209788-gate-racer/
This is a lot of fun. I wish I could get my hands on a cart.
I've also heard good things about Top Gear Rally on N64, or at least the soundtrack.

>>1444270
Don't buy the new Hot Pursuit. It's just Burnout with licensed vehicles.

Anyone play Arctic Thunder back in the arcades? I never had any money when I went to Chuck E Cheese, but I used to check the coin return thing, and if I ever found tokens I would always spend it on that game, I don't know why. I remember it being pretty fun, I would always choose some caveman guy who could punch the other racers. The machine also blew cold wind in your face so my eyes would always hurt after a race.

Also, I always found Lego Racers to be more fun than Mario Kart 64, maybe I just played a lot more of it.
(green brick + 3 white bricks = TELEPORT BITCHES)

>>1443583
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLlDU8VoQ9k
Best song in the game

>>1444295

>>1444292
Dude, I fucking loved this game

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ASmIlmgTbE
>This fucking intro
Also, holy shit this game had thick ass manuals, and they looked really cool with pictures, color, and lots of info. Now all we get are paper inserts that warn you about seizures or nothing at all, what happned?

>>1443574
I bought TOCA 2 again recently, remembering it from my childhood and I was really impressed. The handling is pretty darn good, and the oversteer physics are way ahead of contemporary sims like GT2 (this is coming from a massive GT fan). The cockpit views and ability to glance left and right (including working mirrors) are fantastic. The only problem the game has is that when you start a touring car race from the back with a full grid, there is a bit of slowdown away from the line until the number of cars on screen reduces a little. Slowdown isn't an issue at any point other than the start of some races, though.

Another thing that really impressed me about TOCA2 is that if you enter the cheat codes for the hidden tracks and cars, there are fucking loads of them, including a great country road around a loch in Scotland where I had great fun driving the Grinall Scorpion. There's as much non-touring car content as there is the licensed stuff - it's crazy. I recommend TOCA2 to anyone who likes old racing sims

>>1443465
It looks great, yeah, but you'll need some serious nostalgia to enjoy that piece of trash. Possibly one of the most soulless and boring cart racers ever made, and it doesn't even have music in multiplayer mode. Please make a counterargument with descriptions of what's good about the game, because I'm curious and would love to read what anyone could possibly see in that turdpile.

>>1444341
It's pretty soulless and boring I'll give you that but it gives me some memories since I used to play it as a kid.

>>1444323
The 'manual' for most games is now included in the gameplay, be it command prompts, video demonstration and so on. One of the reasons why modern games are so shitty.

I remember a game I played on the PC as a kid. It was kinda similar to Mario but with animals. There definitively was a shark.
It was fun as fuck.
Forgot the name. Something with wheels, I think.

>>1444323
shut up man. theres a lot of shit wrong with manuals, plastic cases and whatnot.

destroying nature just because you like a full rack of cds and dvds doesnt make sense, especially since we live in an age where you can get everything digitally

>>1444369
wacky wheels.

>>1444370

Posted by The Planeteers.

>>1444347
Was afraid you would say that.

I started collecting Rare's N64 releases after the next gen had begun, and only got to try out Mickey's at that point. Maybe if I'd been younger..

My anticipation was more along the lines of "Diddy Kong Racing with Goofy and friends", so I guess that was hoping for too much anyway.

>>1444295
Teleporting was beyond broken.

>mfw I beat this smug cunt as a child.

Would buy a re-release with online multiplayer/10

>>1444418
i had an easier time with him as a kid than I did playing recently

This track, when they would all drive over the edge after you if you did

>>1444323
>there will never be another game with a scratch-and-sniff disc

Just got Jet Moto 2 from a thrift store.

Is it true all the JM1 tracks are in this game? Nightmare was a bitchin' course in the original.

Aw man, I thought this thread was gonna be about making an actual 4chan racing game.

>>1444683
that idea sounds right up /v/'s alley since there's always a bunch of group projects going on there, but other than moot, anon, yotsuba, and w.t. snacks I don't see the game being fun with only 4 characters.

>>1444724
Various board avatars, Original The Characters. Santino "Happy Negro" Lee and Cockmongler for /b/, Ivan and uh.... I forget the name of the guy with the camo facepaint grinning like an idiot for /k/, Reggie for /v/, Nester for /vr/, et cetera.

>>1444674
Slickrock Gorge was a bitch. The Shaft was my favorite one because it went well with Vampira who was my favorite character in the game. I also use that guy with the beard.

The Heaven and Hell race track was also my favorite.

I never played Jet Moto 1 so I can't say for sure if all of the tracks appeared in Jet Moto 2.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3IiKFRlHZA
Are you ready for some down and dirty racing!?!?!

I'm not big into racing games. I generally find that as long as I hold the accelerator, never hit the brake, and only let up on the gas as I go into a turn I always win, and that's pretty boring.

>>1444914
ok

It's not part of the core racing genre that everyone is talking about in this thread, but it is undeniably better than every single Mario Kart game.

>>1444914
In what game would that be? Why even in the mess that is the recent Need for Speed games, you still have to brake.

>>1444674
>Is it true all the JM1 tracks are in this game?

Yes

In single race or whatever, highlight the track you want and press circle for the JM1 track. For example, pressing circle on Nebulous will change it to Nightmare.

If all of the tracks are already unlocked, that means you have the Greatest Hits version (which is a good thing).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_Moto_2#Development

I'm the California Speed guy.

This seems like the place to ask for:

There's a racing game, that I only played in japanese because seriously I couldn't even find an english arcade of it.

It was set in Japan and you had 3 cars to choose from, and whenever you crashed there was this SCREECHING female voice. it was REALLY fun.

Also I can't run Daytona USA 2 in my computer on Supermodel ;_;

>>1446024
No idea, but Rave Racer has the most irritating, distracting female announcer I've ever heard in a game. Ruins the kick-ass soundtrack"!

used to play a lot of need for speed 2 SE, great fun also there was this Mario kart clone I had for pc I can't remember very well, one of the characters was an old woman who could shoot a blunderbus as a side attack. I think it used sprites on a 3d course.

I love Neo Drift Out. Shame how short it is though

I wish top-down racers were still around.

Big Red Racing was hilarious, if only for the sheep jump hidden away on the Italy course.

Also
>no mention of Carmageddon
Really /vr/?

>>1446327
That is a shame.

Carmageddon 1 & 2 (PC) are hands down the best vehicular combat games ever made. I enjoyed the third one, but the time constraints were unforgivable. Also excited about the next installment, though present day Stainless reminds me way too much of Running With Scissors, so I don't have much faith...

>>1446365
>though present day Stainless reminds me way too much of Running With Scissors, so I don't have much faith...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP2rlFnqRrg

A friend reminded me of this game today. Pretty good shit.

>>1446372
Well, good to see a couple aspects that made Carmageddon so great are still being thought of (humor and damage detail), but I'll remain skeptical until the final product.

>>1443508
nigga get a saturn and a racing wheel

>>1446387
Why are you assuming I don't
I don't really like Sega Rally with the racing wheel to be honest

Hey /vr/, I'm considering buying an N64 racing wheel because I like getting immersed with a useless piece of plastic for the few great racing games the system has. Tell me, which one is the best, Madcatz or V3FX?

>implying

>>1446717
>implying

>>1444976
Seems that is the version I have.

>>1446686
whichever one isn't madcatz

>>1447062
heh, alright then.

I own Crash Team Racing but have never played it.

>>1447778
go play it then, I've noticed it to be consider one of the better kart racers out there.

>>1442718
>>1442756
>Al Unser Jr Turbo Racing
Probably my favorite racing game on the NES.

anyone know how easy it is to emulate initial D games? or just any good PC games where I can play in a Hachi-Roku?

>>1446365
Actually played a the free version of the Android port and it actually translates really well. Still though, great game series. Really wouldn't mind seeing a revival

>>1442718
>>1442756
>>1447928
Vividly recall playing Arcade Racing for the PC. Apparently it's an absolute bitch to get running these days though

>>1448174
Man this looks cool, sucks because there's only like 5 seconds of footage I managed to find of it. Although I am searching on my phone so probably if I go on my computer is get better results. I really like old racing games that are low poly, shit looks badass.

God, I love this game.

>>1448704
holy shit, what's happening?

>>1448720
Japan.

>>1442664
Yes. That game is my shit.

>>1448704
Cool driver animations
I used to love finding 'secrets'/bugs like that. In the demo of Total Drivin' (I assume it's the same in the finished game) there was a way to leave the track, drive up and over the other side of a mountain and into a lake and get a GAME OVER

>>1443508
What's a good SSF emulator?

>>1449106
>Not checking the sticky
But since I'm a nice guy here's the link to the available emulators http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Sega_Saturn_emulators
Get to racing anon, those cars ain't gonna drive themselves!

Sup ladies.

>>1449106
SSF.
Or just buy yourself a real Saturn.

>>1447062
Mad Katz wasn't always terrible.
Their Dreamcast wheel was phenomenal

>>1444329
>including a great country road around a loch in Scotland
Loch Rannoch is an incredible track. The alternate routes make it awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZA_LxSZMpE

What makes it even cooler is that it's a real-life loch as well.

The track reappeared in TOCA Race Driver 2.

best CTR chracter.

>>1444323
>what happned?

Forced half hour tutorials happened. No point in having a manual when the game assumes you're a braindead retard for the first half hour or so.

>>1451006
>not Pura or Polar
Niggah, you doin' it all kinds of wrong

>>1444370

Wow, what a faggot.

Which is better: Crash Team Racing or Diddy Kong Racing?

>>1444370
huge faggot

Do any of you guys use an Xbox 360 controller for Daytona USA? How do you have it set up? Because I can't configure mine right at all, I'm crashing into walls and the menu always scrolls to the left. I can't get the triggers to work or be mapped individually either.

I've got way too many favorites to list, but the Genki Racing Project games are way up there. Games like Shutokou and Kaido Battle (Tokyo Xtreme Racer), C1 Grand Prix and such.

Just something pleasant about wandering the night time expressways by yourself at high speeds, no?

>>1453923
Do they hold up? Night time races through spotlights and cityscapes are my preference as well.

How is Initial D on the Sega Saturn? Kinda curious in checking it out because I have had this massive urge to play a bunch of racing games out of no where.

>>1454180
>Playing the original version of Super Hang-On via Final Burn Alpha
>The controls,in comparison to the Mega-Drive/Genesis port, are like fucking night and day

Really, how the fuck did they screw them up so poorly? Because I swear there's like a delay inbetween the a press on the D-Pad and the onscreen movement

>>1454294
I think the increase in turning is just slower. Not delayed. Technically speaking. But ya, it gets down to the same effect.
I found out by accident, that playing it on MAME I can modify that turning speed on the ROM's options. Making it control as easy like the 3DS/GBA-pack versions.

The Genesis version is just hopelessly slugish. But it had the career mode which unfortunately was never salvaged into the better ports.

>>1454294

Even the S Hangon port on GBA had better controls than Genesis version. But as usual, the soundtrack sucks.

>>1454378
>the soundtrack sucks.

Like fuck it does Shitbird.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuA0DDAjYSQ

>>1454390
I think he meant by as usual as in music on the GBA sucks.

>>1454394
But the GBA has the original arcade music tracks that are of better quality than the 16-bit MD/Gen port.
What, are you/he saying it sucks because of the small GBA speaker or summink?

>>1454403
Man I don't know. The wording of that guy's post just made me think he generally thinks the sound quality on the GBA sucked.

>>1454403

>better quality than the 16-bit MD/Gen port

I'm not sure about this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVDPFHtKjHg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lwmkn0b34NU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln3HIdzHAvc

>>1454403
Not that guy, but it doesn't. Genesis version's music is inferior to the Arcade's. But GBA is even worse than Genesis.
Hard Road for instance, is so butchered that it's melody practically isn't there.
Super Hang-On is inside SEGA Arcade Gallery 4-pack for GBA, if you want to check it yourself.

One very positive aspect about GBA is that visuals are much more fluid compared to the Genesis. But the sprites were scaled down.

All that above makes the Arcade and 3DS versions the best ones. And maybe the PSN/XBLA(?) too, but I never test those myself.

How has no one brought up Woody Woodpecker Racing, Nicktoon Racing, or Disney's Magical Racing Tour.

I loved all of these.

No Outrun Love?

>>1454279
Can't really comment on the Saturn version as I haven't played it. I'd imagine that it came out toward the end of the Saturn's life seeing as how that'd probably have been around '98-'00 or so. I used to play the arcade games all the time while I was in Japan. Particularly Version 4 and 5. The PS2 ports play a lot like the arcade versions (i.e. not really like a real car whatsoever, but still fun).

A couple Saturn games that I'd really love to get my hands on are "Touge: The Spirits" 1 and 2. The first one was released under the name "High Velocity Mountain Racing Challenge" in North America. Touge The Spirits 2 expanded a lot on the original, and should be a deeper game than the first. I really like games that have me doing the same thing I enjoy doing for recreation in real life. It gives me a safe place to do it when I can't because of money problems. ;_;

>>1443508
Even Daytona had fewer total stages and cars. Sega was proof that you didn't need 80 tracks and 2000 cars to make a stellar racing title.

>>1454180
They hold up very well. Shutokou Battle 01/ Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 was my favorite of the series. In that one, you weren't just running the Tokyo Shutokou, but also Nagoya and the Kansai Hanshin expressways. Unfortunately, no Honda license, so no Hondas. The ladt of the series that actually was a true Shutokou Battle game (not the mobile phone card game) was Shutokou Battle X/Import Tuner Challenge. It unfortunately seemed more like it was about street ricing than street racing, unfortunately.

Damn, the Touge MAX (PlayStation) series looks pretty good as well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSUJrEZaDV8

Seems ATLUS published a lot of great racing games that never made it over here. At least Crave brought over some real Gems as far as the Genki games.

This was a truly excellent game that I didn't see mention of. The physics were pretty damn accurate, it rewarded good driving more than just wining races, and had a very unique way of game progression that seemed pretty endless. Definitely deserving of a sequel. Hell, it even had touge and Darkar-esque desert courses.

>>1443492
I understood that reference.

>>1443492
Not usually a fan of top down racers (mostly due to the perspective), but the Micro Machines series is pretty damn solid

>>1455416

Non /vr/, but I completely agree with you. It's a very comfy game.

>>1455479
>that picture
oh shit my nostalgia activated

California Speed for the N64 is actually a pretty fun game, mostly for how ridiculous it is. The tracks have you race on rollercoasters, through a volcano, through a giant computer, and on top of the San Fransisco bridge (on top of the bridge, not on it, as in you're driving on the red parts hanging above the bridge's sides).

Each car has a few different color sliders, so you can make any of the cars into just about any color you want, which is something you don't see in many racing games from back then (or even today, as far as I know).

My favorite car is the golf cart, because it's hilarious that it is given the speed and acceleration needed to pass sports cars. And also because it fills the role of super-fast-car-that-controls-like-shit and for this kind of game that just adds to the fun.

The game is by no means technically impressive, but it's the kind of game that's a lot of fun even if it isn't actually too well designed, if that makes any sense.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsGKu-IT-Ww&t=4m30s

Fatal Racing/Whiplash is a fun stunt racer/destruction derby game. I don't think the graphics were very good for 1995 though. It was ahhhchually bundled with our PC as Whiplash in the UK

Grand Prix Legends I think has an active community today

>>1455638
Always been curious as to who's faster in the speed department, Extreme-G or F-Zero

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Nk8bvx_iIE
Also Overtop (Neo Geo) and Outrun.

This is one of the genres that I really like but can't git gud.

>>1455691
Its been years since I've played either, but doesn't Extreme-G speeds top out at like 700 MPH or something, while F-Zero is over 1000 MPH?

I do remember Extreme-G certainly FELT faster, though.

>>1453145
>Do any of you guys use an Xbox 360 controller for Daytona USA?

I do, but it's because I"m playing DUSA on the 360.

what are the best arcade racers on saturn?

>>1456002
Daytona USA/Daytona USA CCE
Sega Rally
Wipeout
Sega Touring Car
Manx TT
F1 Challenge
High Velocity
Virtua Racing
Need For Speed

>>1455691
>>1455938
Extreme G 1 definitely has the better feeling of speed unless you use crazy advanced techniques to go faster in F Zero X.

It's mostly because the courses were much more cramped and twitchy than F Zero X.

Not retro but XG3 probably has the best feeling of speed in any game despite not being that great overall.

>>1456027

GT24 is pretty good too. It suffers with the draw distance unlike the arcade version, but still a very fast and nice game.

>Not Crazy Cars III

>>1446327
Big Red motherfucking Racing.
One of the first games I ever pirated 9000 years ago..
Played it for weeks.

>>1457025
Almost forgot, this had great split-screen multiplayer.

I always thought it would be cool to have a thread where people play Gran Turismo 1. It's so fun starting out and actually having to race and save up to buy parts for your first car. And then satisfying to finally buy a better one and start tuning it to compete in a different series. The more recent installments have really missed that feeling of starting out small and working your way up as funds permit, and the sense of attachment you get to the cars as a result. There's a lot to discuss, I think. License test techniques for gold awards, lap times, car setups, the cars themselves..

I could totally play again if a few of you fellows fancy it

>CTRL F
>No Hydro Thunder

waddafuk man

>>1457035
GT2 is better. There's nothing that GT1 has that GT2 doesn't have more of.

>>1457049
I know it's not retro, but the sequel is AMAZING

Virtua Formula 8-machine version at Sega Virtualand
(wish I hadn't lost my 1st place headshot)

>>1457057
Bitchin' individual manufacturer tunes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YExCFPSfWck

There's plenty of variety in the first game so my idea was to play that and then given enough interest, GT2 remains to be moved on to. I also think GT2 is slightly less balanced but yeah sure, I'm cool with playing GT2 if anyone is interested

>>1457057
Especially when it comes to cars with missing gears, rendering certain GT2 vehicles useless unless you buy the GH version.

To date, one of my favorite racing games has to be Metropolis Street Racer for the Dreamcast. I'm sure most people haven't played it, but they've probably played it successor: Project Gotham Racing on the Xbox.

Add in the fact that the music was done by Richard Jacques and it'll alway be a game I'll remember fondly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYaOII2ZZVo

What about that Riptide GP2 game ?

>>1457103

>>1457108

>>1457108
>>1457112
I'm happy I have a computer strong enough to play MSR now. My Dreamcast has been having trouble reading discs lately.

I also wish MSR would get ported to something. Though I think that's impossible now that the company's gone belly up.

>>1457120
>My Dreamcast has been having trouble reading discs lately.
clean the lens.

>>1457123
IT could be overuse of CD-R backups. That has a tendency of wearing out the motor.

>>1457127
I used tons of CD-R with my dreamcast, and after cleaning it thanks to some guide, it work again very well.

It's nice, but it's just no Hydro Thunder.

Actually, it related more with Waveracer.

>>1444952
The first time I played it, I would get lost because I wasn't aware of the checkpoints.

>>1444323
So much nostalgia~

Loved playing it. Great Dreamcast Launch title.

>>1457103
I loved MSR. One of my favorite things to do was wander the empty streets on free roam hen I finished the game. They made the environments as photo realistic as they could (at least until licensing became an issue, then they had to change it up a bit). I have a demo of the game from ODCM, which had a beta version on it. It hass everything unchanged the way it was back in 98' or so (Kool cigarette ads, Coca-Cola, et cetera). It's really something to see.

I loved being able to just wander around the environments and see the small shit like the Pepsi logo on a shop's storefront that they forgot to edit out in Pacific Heights, San Fransisco.

The soundtrack was also awesome, I had the thing on my Zune until it took a shit. It was nice being able to listen to things like "Club Paris" "Heartland" "Live Your Life" and "Passion" in the comfort of my Miata.

That game changed a lot before it was ever finally released, I remember it having Hondas in it in the Beta versions as well. Seems like earlier it was supposed to be more of a street racing game than it was, with wild paintjobs and more "Boy Racer" kinda stuff in it. It's a damn shame the Japanese never got it.

Truly excellent game.

Good thread

I love this series (which, for those keeping track, is actually the Saturn spin-off of >>1442791 ) but I was pretty disappointed with the second King The Spirits game. It seems like they tried to push the graphics too far and maybe the frame rate killed the handling a bit. It just felt wrong to me.

>>1459880
Good to know. Definitely sounds like something I'd want. Also, I'm not gonna lie, that yellow FC on the cover of touge King 2....hhhhnnnnnnnnnng.

But I own an FC myself, so I might be biased a bit.

>>1444292
YES. FUCK YES.

What's the best way to play this? MAME? N64?

>>1457106
It's a decent bit of fun. Is quite similar to Waverace. Not so much Hydro Thunder. The tracks have some nice details and minor alt routes too...

Online could be slightly better (no lobbies) but it's serviceable. Recommended for some fun water racing.

>>1460598
Oh yeah. Forgot to mention. The best thing about the multiplayer is splitscreen. Just a rarity these days...

>>1460605
indeed. Hopefully, some of them still do it.

>>1457035
I 100%'ed GT2 a while ago (damn East City events went on forever), I was curious if GT1 was worth playing though.
I was also considering playing the Japanese version of GT2 if it has a totally different track.

Top Gear 2

Probably a top five game for me all time. Love those night tracks.

Except the music sounds like fucking ass in the Model 2 version
And besides, there's a lot of features in the Saturn version that make it way better than the M2 version

>>1461081
The 3DO/Saturn/PlayStation Road Rash is my favorite of the series. I absolutely love the soundtrack. I have the Saturn and PlayStation versions. Honestly, the PlayStation feels smoother and faster as far as control and frame rate (but I play mine on a PS2, so that may be why).

The cut scenes were pretty funny too. I liked the wry sense of humor to them. Did I mention the music kicked ass?

Mitsuyoshi was also the voice of Kage in Virtua Fighter.

And he sang the season 2 intro of the Virtua Fighter anime. My friends and I always call him "Daytona Guy". He sang all the Daytona songs, and is the voice of "GAME OVER, YEAH!"

GTI Club.

What are some good games to play with the NeGcon?

One of my fav car games as a kid was Crazy Cars 3 aka Lamborghini American Challenge by Titus. It's simplistic but somehow it got me hooked.

Anybody ever play Fatal Racing? That game was crazy with loops and shit

Am I the only one who considers GT1 the best? This being said, I'm only ever SERIOUSLY got into 1 and 2.

I however never 100%'d GT1, only 99%...
>only one course I haven't beat in first position
>it's the longest, 4hours30 long, course
>one summer afternoon in my teens I decide to try it
>be in first position during the entire course
>after almost 4hours and a half of endurance in the same course, doing the same thing over over, it's finally the last lap and i'm still first
>suddenly half way through the last lap the car which was in 2nd place passes me over (even though I was so fast I had several laps in advance on the last cars)
>can't get back to 1st position, it's the last minute of the course
>finish 2nd
>stare at the TV for about 30secs
>slowly get up and turn off the console/tv
>go outside

After that I didn't touch the game during at least 5 years.

Gentlemen, may I make a suggestion?

>>1463313
What about Porsche Challenge?

In terms of 'brand advertising' games though, Viper Racing was my favourite
>driving off in the backgrounds until you hit the flat wall limit of the map

>>1463323
>What about Porsche Challenge?
Good racing game, but deffinetly not as good as Porsche Unleashed on PC.

>>1463323
Viper Racing. Man, that takes me back.
Anyone else remember that fan site where you could download beer-related skins for Viper Racing: ViproAngelo's?

I found the flash intro to their site in my old backups:

I want to try the Saturn version of this.

Also the time limits in this game seem...very unfair.

>git gud

Well hell, what else am I supposed to do when the checkpoints don't cough up enough time to make it between them?

>>1463964
>I want to try the Saturn version of this
Let's just say that I haven't heard particularly favorable things about it.

And the PS2 version, while having absolutely drool worthy graphics, is very shoddy in the controls department

>>1462857
It also made it to the Sega CD. I have a copy, but it need to go into a disc scratch doctor.

>>1463114
It was definitely fun, but in my opinion, just wasn't deep enough. Needed some real-world tracks and more western cars. The PC version expanded on it a bit, but I haven't played it. The Carrozzeria was pretty cool I liked the idea of being able to make my own cars. The physics seemed like the facory-spec cars were a bit floatier than in real life. Also, if you knew nothing about cars and just through parts at it without any real tuning (hard racing stabilizer bars, anyone?), you could easily make your car undrivable.

But yeah; it is a great game, I just wouldn't put it ahead of the Grand Turismo series. I also loved the later iterations on the XBOX (Sega GT 2002 and Sega GT Online) which greatly improved on the real-world feel of the cars, but not necessarily where tuning was concerned (Max camber =/=max traction in all circumstances; tuning is a balancing act as anyone who'd set up a racecar can testify to).

I did love the amount of tuning in Sega GT, but you really had to know what you were doing (as in on a real car) to make the most out of your settings, and even then, it wasn't really close enough to real life...but this was way before Forza and better sims were available.

>>1463814
>>1463964
I have both Saturn and 32X, but I haven't played them very in-depth. I will say that the flat-shaded polygons of the Saturn seemed to make the game faster and smoother (framerate) than most other Saturn racers.

<A bit of a departure from the norm, but a pretty solid racer. Over quickly for 100% completion, but so are most Saturn games. A shame Sega didn't use this graphics engine for the Xtreme project.

>>1463932
I like both, but I'd have to agree. Parts of GX soundtrack sound like a 3D Sonic game.

>>1464357
If you're referring to the PS2 version on the Classics disc, I personally had no issues with the controls.

>>1465017
I don't have it for SCD, even though I have the console, but its not the same game. Judging from interweb footage, its an all new game that runs on the Road Rash 3 engine.

This never gets enough discussion.

Probably my favorite racing game on the Dreamcast.

Despite what people would have you believe, not everything madcatz is shit, just most of it.

I know what you mean i had a Madcatz wheel for the N64 back in the day got it for Cruis'n USA. That shit was so sensitive i was all over the place. I went back to using the controller and never used it again.

With hardware rendering enabled, yes.

My only complaint is that the game isn't alt-tab compatible.

It's such a shame Genki died.

A new shutokou or kaido would be incredible.

Genki is still around, but they aren't rocking and rolling like they used to be. The last Shutokou Battle game was a mobile phone card game.

I always preferred the PS1 version. It felt like an entirely new game and not just Hot Pursuit with new cars and tracks. Sure, you don't get as much content, but the overall product feels a lot more polished.

Also the car models on PS1 were WAY better looking. The 911 and Camaro especially looked awful on PC.

>>1471598
Into the trash you go.

I just tried Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 on nullDC and it's bretty fun, though there are quite some graphical bugs.

Another thing is I can't simply turn, any bigger turn I will understeer or drift right into the wall.

>>1442654
DAAAAAAAAAAAYTOOOOOOOOONAAAAAAAA
LET'S GO AWAY

Bumpercars

>>1472309
Yeah, I always thought of it as "slot car physics". Play the first one on DC. The controls feel better, although you only have the C1 to wander.

>>1472309
Loved that game.

>>1472702
>>1472721
Fixed the graphic bugs and getting used to the controls. I'll give a shot to the first one too. Any other good dreamcast racing games? (after spending hours getting shit to work I want more racan games for it)

>>1472841
Sega GT is great
The Daytona USA port is fantastic
Sega Rally is fun

Dreamcast had a lot of good racing games

Are there other games like Tokyo Xtreme Racer?

>>1472856
Need For Speed Underground
Street Rod 2
MSR

>>1472856
That was a fun racing game. The only game that remotely similar to Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 and Need For Speed Underground 2 (it has highway racing with random npcs). Need For Speed Underground 1 is NOT a game you want to play if you want the Tokyo Xtreme Racer experience.

>>1472867
>>1472868
I played all of them except MSR, since I don't know what that stands for.

What about games with 90s japanese cars?

>>1472878
>MSR
Metropolis Street Racing
>What about games with 90s japanese cars?
I dunno

>>1472878
Any of the Initial D or Shutokou Battle?

>>1471598
Reminder, this is the same person who keeps fucking up the Doom and GCCCX threads. Don't let him get away with posts like these.

>>1472856
Kaido Battle, it was sold here as Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Drift.

The Shutokou Battle games were also old as "Tokyo Highway Battle" (PSX), "Highway 2000" (Sega Saturn)

You can also import the older games, the series goes all the way back to the Super Famicom (Shutokou Battle'94)

>>1472841
Metropolis Street Racer, Sega GT, Sega Rally 2, F355 Challenge, Sno Cross Championchip Racing, Suzuki Alstare, Test Drive Le Mans, Daytona USA.

Not really Racing games, but fun: Crazy Taxi, 18 Wheeler American Pro Trucker

There was a racing game I played at the arcades that had a bunch of trance for the soundtrack.

>>1460821
First time ever seeing someone share some love for the series.
Love the first and the third one. Just got the second one recently.

Also love all of the F-Zero games. And recently bought Extreme-G, didn't play it yet.
