/vr/ - Retro Games

First for the venturi 400 gt

xbox chads hop on xlink kai for some outrun 2 or C2C

Is dirt 1 worth trying?

>>6871791
Were it not for the spoiler this thing would look right out of RRT4.

>>6871823
I love how aesthetic it is, only game i know its in is GT2

We need a online multiplayer Ridge Racer R4.

>>6871775
This general renewed my interest in GT3. Been playing the shit out of it since. Got up to the IB license.

This series is great if you like rally racers. Dirt Rally and its sequel are a follow-up to this series.

And for 2d games my favorite is Neo Drift Out. It doesn't look like it would be playable from a screenshot (and tons of top-down racing games are nigh unplayable indeed) but the upcoming turn signs exactly match the shape of the actual track so you can anticipate what's coming up. Working to shave a second or two off your time to get to the next stage on one credit is really enjoyable. The cars feel great and it looks nice.

Sega GT 2002 was pretty comfy.

Don't mind me, just being the best rally game of all time.

>>6871775
ahh, memories...spent so many hours playing this game. One of the cooler things about it, was that you could tap/ease up on the accelerator during turns to even out the weight/angular momentum and gain more traction (and speed)

>>6872985
Ya know what i'm curious? What's the general consensus on this game? I always ignored it because my copies came with JSRF.

>>6873001
why?

>>6871775
No love for Burnout in the pastebin? What the hell guys?

>>6873715
I was going to say that's a pretty short list.

>>6872415
GT3 is so fine tuned to a point

>>6873715
>>6873897
What the hell? I could’ve sworn I included Burnout. Well fuck, I’ll fix it next thread

>>6873902
Looks like I forgot to add burnout, daytona and destruction derby when they should’ve been on there, idk why they aren’t

>>6871775
>no Wipeout in the list
How and why? I would give it a pass if it was because the list was focused on cars as oposed to AG ships, but F-Zero is there.

>>6872985
will sega gt return at some point in the future?

>>6871850
It's also in Test Drive 6. Allegedly, an Atlantique 300 was scanned for Forza but it never made it to the game.

>>6874006
And Wipeout is way better than F-Zero.

>>6874006
>>6875301
Wipeout has a poor sense of speed early in the series, only one i like isn’t retro

I wonder if there's an interest in making a /vroom/ infographic for essential titles?

>>6876828
No, why would there be?

>>6875042
lol doubt it

Bump

>>6875894
>Wipeout
>slow
lmao. Yes, the early games started you very slow but the end was also very fast. In other words, it covers a larger scale of speed classes.

>>6875301
no
proof? It's Wipeout who tried its hardest to copy Fzero, not the other way. It's especially true since the Wipeout you had on PS2 (arguably, since Wip3out).

>>6877187
Just put the idea out there.

>>6878321
I'm guessing he never played past Vector, which was added to delay the entry into the faster speed classes as some sort of balancing idea.
>>6878451
>tried to copy
Have you ever played both series? If you did you'd know they have very distinct ways of handling the craft, not to mention elements like track design and the presence/abscence of weapons which further make the series nothing alike.

Tell me /vroom/ - which is the best screamer game? I am trawling through the early windows racing games (mostly trying to avoid DOS) but I need to pick the best games.

>>6873897
It is. I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I got this game because I didn't know it was a driving simulator. Still fun. Got the IA license now. All bronze, so bare minimum and nothing to be proud of, but now I can do a majority of the simulation mode races.

Are the PC versions of destruction derby worth playing? I always thought the PS1 versions were best.

>>6879961
The PC version drops 4 of the opponents. Other than that I don't think there's any differences.

>>6871775
I suppose this will be one of the next games I hit up.

I tried to play some Test Drive 6 last night. THAT is a bad game. I dispute the claims about Test Drive 4 and 5 (particularly 5) but if you're going to give 6 shit, you'll get no pushback from me.

>>6880020
I only play TD4 for the track set in england as it is 1) the best course in the game and 2) top comfy.

>>6880175
Ah yes, Keswick. Beautiful part of the Lake District in the North West of England.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKqfnnSFDPg

>>6871775
Love both that game and the also the first, the Dreamcast had some of the best racing games ever.

>>6880020
does this series still exist?

>>6873370
Sega GT wasn't very good. It obviously never looked as good as Gran Turismo (the first one on the Dreamcast was somehow uglier than GT2 on the PS1) but it also had some really weird physics quirks for a game that is supposed to be somewhat realistic. If you really wanna play a sim-style game by Sega, play F355 Challenge

>>6880872
>play F355 Challenge
this cracka know what's up

>>6880860
Nah. I think the last game that could be legitimately called "Test Drive" was this game (which I've also been playing, incidentally; not a bad game, although the cutscenes are cheeseball as fuck).

This game doesn't seem to work right on my Windows 10 PC (it runs as if I need a turbo button, although the real time elements such as timers still work normally) and I can't even emulate it (it won't go past the first Pong game on PCSX2) so I've had to run it on actual hardware.

I absolutely loved this game

>>6880940
Is there actual racing in it or is it just rally stage time trials?

>>6880940

And this one (International Rally Championship).

>>6880940
Magnetic Fields were the fucking daddy of rally games. Mobil 1 still holds up 20 years later.

>>6880943
There's an arcade mode.

>>6880943

There is an arcade mode, but I never even played it, this game is about completing rally stages, not racing opponents directly.

>>6880968

I still prefer IRC and Mobil 1 RC over a lot of new titles. And I play quite a lot rally games (more into sims, but some semi-arcade ones too).

>>6880976
>when you complete pundershaw

>>6880897
Ooo wow I used to play the fuck out of that as a kid. I'm gonna have to dig it up

>>6881242
Be ready for some long-ass load times.

>>6880872
GT is bad, but GT 2002 on Xbox is great.

>>6881251
Thanks for the heads up lol.

>>6873001
Thank god someone else recognizes this

>>6873384
The courses, selection of cars, driving physics, and graphics are all amazing, it is a criminally underrated game

To whomever posted about that podcast Time Extended like 2 vr racing threads ago, thank you. I fucking love it

>>6881550
Sega GT 2002/Online I played as much as any game I ever have, I was obsessed. There is something hard to pinpoint about it, to many it probably comes across as a generic japanese-centric racer but theres something really comfy about the handling, environments etc. that sets it apart

bakuso kyoudai let's & go eternal wings

need english translation

>>6872415

how do you enjoy GT? is it a pure sim or does the game become good?

>>6872747

>>6880897
Don't forget there is a new test drive unlimited game in the works.

>>6880940
this have a psx version.

>>6882930
There is, there is...

Although I should note I forgot about Test Drive Unlimited in general, so I was wrong.

>>6881550
thanks for the advice.

>>6882872
link?

>>6872380
You could do netplay for split screen mode with Retroarch, but I have no idea how well that will work. Also, I really liked Type 4, one of the games that's made me happiest in years. What can I play that's like that, besides RRV?

>>6872985
I tried it but it doesn't play nice with my 360.

been playing SCUD race on the model3 emulator, cant get better than 4th on the beginner stage with the viper/mclaren,
any strats for the handling model ?

HE'S THE ONE FOR ME

>>6882902
>is it a pure sim
I wouldn't know because I never learned to drive a car. I would guess it's pretty realistic, but I can't really give you a clear answer.

>>6885269
I can give you a Spotify link, not sure what other platforms they're on. This is exactly a podcast I would make too, wish I thought of it first lol

https://open.spotify.com/show/1y8mbaZdbdJtKsgV3QqHe7?si=i5nXCdghQxmwzlqDevFt0w

>>6885303
>SCUD race
the name gets me every time

>>6885303
Just get used to the most optimal line with the Porsche. I eventually got first with automatic when I retried enough times. You are most likely losing time on turns or maybe some of the turns don't need drifting at all.

>>6886207

>>6871823
>RRT4
kek who the fuck abbreviates it that way?

I want to re-recommend Shox to everyone. It's just if SSX fucked Sega Rally.

>>6888130
Just recently heard about it. Is by EA BIG right?

>>6879961
Is that a mod or something to unlock?

>>6888117
Weirdos and autists

>>6888841
It's is the bonus warrior car on the bonus lost Vegas track.

>>6888130
I have never heard of this.

>>6888907
Don't be a fuckin' DICK, assface.

>>6889332
Nobody has really - it flew under the radar at release as it was a fairly mid-tier game with little fanfare.

>>6888425
Yes
>>6889332
It didn't sell for shit, and despite me loving it I can't imagine wanting to buy it at full price new.

>>6888104
V and rage racer need more love.

>>6889994
>Rage Racer
i got you

>>6889994
Rage racer's main issue is for its length it gets very, very repetitive.

Also: lizard bayonet is best car.

>>6890018
That was great from a previous thread.

>>6890029
The real issue with Rage Racer is not being able to use analog steering on a PSP or Vita due to not recognizing any NeGcon emulation even if there was any. Best if you play on PC for this reason, but even then, a quarter of the car list filters me because manual only

>>6890053
Manual just does not matter. The bayonet is the best lizard car, the assoluto machines are only good for the oval so fucking whatever and the abeille is basically the best standard car in the game due to its absurd handling (admittedly not as good as the pegasus) but it has more power so it doesn't get fucked on overpass city or mythical coast reverse. Lakeside gate is Age territory anyway.

For the class 6 cars you only need vanquire (automatic available) and squadlon (again assoluto so manual is irrelevant).

>>6890086
Since you're a Rage chad maybe you can answer this where Google could not for decades. Initiating the drift animation works like RR1 and RRR, but exiting a drift in Rage only works when it feels like it. Even if I finish a turn with my car perfectly aligned straight, the car still likes to keep itself stuck in drift animation and stall itself to 20 kmh or something.

>>6890112
It is a bit finnicky for sure as unlike RR and RRR the point at where the cars grip isn't as clear to the player. However at a fundamental level rage racer's drifting behaves like the previous games you just need to be considerably smoother on the exit - i've not found any secret to it beyond practice with your car of choice.

I still get fucked by the chicane on overpass reverse (i;ve drifted through it exactly once but doing it forwards is easy). It is also why I rate the abeille so highly as its insane grip and good enough power means you will rocket through most corners and can keep up with the lizard cars on the uphill drags. The game is blatantly designed to make the player pick a manufacturer for each course but fuck that noise. I'm also convinced the extra GP until class 6 can be beaten with the starting gnade car and assoluto of choice but i've yet to do it (i've done it for the standard GP with some effort).

The external view is a goddamn noob trap as well.

>>6890161
Chase cam has always sucked ass for driving because it swings so much when the whole drifting mechanic requires you to face forward on exits, but it's absolutely soulless to not be able to see how cool Ridge Racer cars look.

I feel a bit broken, racing games are unironically the only games I actually enjoy playing anymore

>>6890324
I'm actually struggling to play any games, let alone racing games.

The last one I played was pic related a few months ago. It was adequate at best and downright annoying at worst. The physics in it are a fucking joke.

>>6871775
This game feels hard to get into. The loop of driving around the freeways and finding an opponent to race is rather...dull.

>>6890175
this is a problem with GT4 too. I want to look at the cool cars but you just can't drive as fast in third person view.

>>6890862
GT4 was the biggest offender in chase cams, Prologue was fine but with retail they decided to make the FOV low as shit with almost no camera swing so everything looked like toy cars that couldn't take turns for shit. GT3, Concept, and Prologue were better.

GRID was a great game but it pissed me off how you couldn't buy a Porsche for your own team, only drive them for other teams.
probably some dumbass licensing shit like how you could only get RUF-modified Porsches in Gran Turismo.

>I wanted to talk about a certain game but it was released a few months after the arbitrary "retro" date
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

so I guess it's Gran Turismo 4 then.
great game, but 24 hour races to unlock the F1 car was a stupid idea. even with the x3 speed in b-spec mode, you still gotta sit there for like 9 hours to make sure the AI driver pits at the right times and doesn't do anything stupid and lose the race

>>6885303
spent all my tokens at Chuck E. Cheese on this game right here
>>6887990
>Sports Car Ultimate Drive

>>6892774
That’s still really Engrish-y.

Everyone hang their fucking heads in shame.

>>6893304
yes I know, Euros got their own too.
what I'm saying is the original music in the Japanese version is really good and shouldn't have been replaced with licensed stuff

>>6893320
Such a ridiculously impressive game. AND a launch title. This was peak for the series

>>6892878
GT3 is the only video game I've ever played where I turned off the BGM music during gameplay. I wish the OST was more like the stuff you hear during the menus. I just hate hearing licensed music in video games.

>>6893341
I'm torn as while the jap music is really, really good the euro soundtrack is inspired.

>>6892764
>>6893147
>>6893312
>>6893320
>>6893336
I was gonna bring up GRID, but realized that was 2008, ssh, don't tell the jannys

>>6893348
I think the western versions of Gran Turismo 1 changed the menu music as well.
I get licensing issues with cars brands and stuff like, gotta make sure the Honda NSX is an Acura NSX for the Americans, but beyond that, localization in games can suck my ass.

>>6893348
>>6893350
if they wanna throw real bands into their game instead of paying a music guy to do the music, that's their choice, but I resent having a different (IMO inferior, in the case of GT2) auditory experience just to be able to read the menus in my native language.
translate the text I need to be able to play the game, do whatever licensing bullshit the car companies require of you as a condition of using their cars in the game, maybe give an option for either KM/H or MPH and that's it. otherwise keep everything the same. especially the music.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrkBy7PGTOw
due licensing this isn't on xbox one yet .

>>6894391
Just nab the PC version.

>>6894391
shame

>>6893348
Okay so just get the NTSC-J version

>>6888130
Shox is ok but when I tried to emulate it it black screens after the first series and you can't progress. I didn't check but I think this only happens in NTSC.
And the game runs at half refresh so PAL 25fps is horrendous. Don't know why they didn't go for 60fps

What sort of black magic is required to get the windows version to need for speed SE working? Yeah I know the dos version works in dosbox but I want to throw resolution at ther game rather than be stuck in 640x480 and as far as I am aware dosbox doesn't support that, so i'm hoping some fuckery with the windows version is possible.

>>6896205
you can't and the windows version is 640x480 too

>>6896364
>windows version is 640x480
That I can get around, I just need to find out how to get the windows version running. As far as I can tell nobody has ever bothered to try.

>>6896374
>That I can get around
no you cant because its software rendered

>As far as I can tell nobody has ever bothered to try.
because there's zero benefit vs running the dos version

>>6896205
I could play my game at 800x600

Wow this game is hard, I expected something like NFS underground but the AI is ruthless

>>6896393
It even has a cheat to make it harder. howhardcanitbe10 is effectively setting the a.i to rape.

>>6896424
The stupid Car damage mode also
o doesnt help
I could not beat the final LA race after 30 tries

>>6896437
At the standard difficulty its not too hard - certainly no harder than other games of the time. I've got a playthrough on the go (you've reminded me to play some later) and took me less than an hour to do all of the LA races. Paris is a big jump in difficulty.

went through burnout 2 today

for years i always brushed off the mainline TXR games (despite admiring them) because i was a retard and didn't notice your win multiplier is how you get money, i had never played most of them for more than a few minutes and just assumed you had to grind for hours and hours to get some money, really enjoying TXR3 now that i know how to play it properly

I’m looking for a game I played as a child, the details are so incredibly vague though

>Xbox or PS2
>Demo
>Wipeout esque
>Demotrack was inside of a tube primarily, lots of rust and orange colors
>Primary race option is a red vehicle with a very similar pink vehicle as one of the other options

Red makes me think Wipeout, but unsure which, I watched all of their demo vids from around then and nothing fits
Quantum Redshift’s racer select has faces and not cars
Any help?

>>6897262
If its wipeout and PS2 realistically that means fusion however i'm 99% certain the demo to fusion was in the feisar craft. Other games that come to mind are the extreme-g series.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drsn9bK1Noo

>>6897262

>>6897289
They are a tad repetitive, but i enjoy the immersion and the fact that you can't easily earn shitloads of money and buy every car in the game. It forces you to actually connect with your car and earn each upgrade.

Its a shame theres no NG+ where you can start a new runthrough with any car you want, as by the time you have access to all the cars, there's nothing left to do.

>>6897880
>>6897896
are you two bitching about two completely different games than each other

>>6899643
Old school namco had that wizardry and laser focus in making a game be the best it could. While understandable given it was 25 years ago people forget how massive the original PS1 version of ridge racer was as it was - effectively - the true arcade experience in your home. Nobody believed 3D could look that good (remember this is 1995 and other consoles that tried 3D usually did so very badly) or be so smooth.

With hindsight the perspective changes but at the time ridge racer was viewed as a game the PS1 was built for.

Are Project Gotham Racing games playable on PC?

>>6897289
its a good time sink, i found it really relaxing but yeah aside from the boss battles its repetitive as fuck

really recommend the spinoff TXR DRIFT 2, really really deep game

>>6875042
if they havent even brought back virtua fighter i doubt it

Anyone buy this back in the day? I bought it so I could sneak Road Rash into the house, which is a game that lets you run over old ladies on walkers with a motorcycle. Definitely would not have been greenlit by my parents under normal circumstances. NFSII is legendary obviously but Sports Car GT is an underappreciated gem. It was made by the R-Factor guys back in 1999 and was the first racing game I played where the cars actually had "weight" to them (never owned a playstation so I didn't have Gran Turismo)

>>6900351
>Nascar Road Racing
that sounds horrible

>>6897880
This is what you look like

>>6900365
It was. Nascar Road Racing and Andretti Racing were fucking unplayable garbage. Still, 3 great games for the price of one was a good deal. Never played the Superbike game.

>>6900405
Fucking hell I have a vague recollection of playing Andretti Racing on the Saturn. You were right: it was shit.

>>6897865

Need For Speed is good but not great

Since it's retro now anybody remember the San Andreas minigame Beat the Cock? It was basically two Ironman marathon races across the map. Loved that shit.

Are there any other video games that have Ironman marathon type races

>>6871775
I've been playing this after 100%ing the original. There's nothing like flying down the Wangan in bumper cam once that long stretch gets unlocked...

>>6890440
Keep in mind that the map opens up a lot after a while, and remember to do runs of both the inner and outer loops.

>>6904920
how fast does TXR1/2 progress compared to TXR3 ?

>>6904891
Hot chix n' gear stix is in baby. Yes, I am the only person who played this.

>>6904962
Have never played 3 since it wasn't on Dreamcast, but I will be once I complete 2. Apologies.

can /vroom/ help me remember the name of a game?
>arcade machine
>machine had a steering wheel and a gas pedal, can't remember if it had a brake pedal or if you just took your foot off the gas
>was an open-wheel racing game
>top-down perspective
thats all I can remember, I played it at this local pizza place that has long since closed down

>>6905073
Do you have a timeframe for when you played it?

>>6905109
I must have played it late-90's or early 2000's. but the game was old by then. I'm thinking mid-late 80's? before 3D stuff like Virtua Racing, Daytona USA, etc.

>>6871823
you'd be surprised how many cars look the part, mostly the obscure ones

>>6904750
what about rapid racer?

>>6905134
Isn't that that Toyota-produced widebody SW20 that someone found a few years back?
>mostly the obscure ones
I'm not sure if they actually look more the part, or if I'm just so used to 'regular' cars that oddities like that stick out.

>>6904891
a game doesn't have to be good to be interesting

"good games only" is pretty limiting in what can be posted

been playing revenge today and want to post some screenshots

revenge is so aesthetically pleasing and the cars are cool

>>6906310
>Isn't that that Toyota-produced widebody SW20 that someone found a few years back?
yup, that's the SARD MC8-R. poor thing had a bad stroke of luck competing in the '95 and '96 super gt championships, but it's very nifty looking
>I'm not sure if they actually look more the part, or if I'm just so used to 'regular' cars that oddities like that stick out.
probably a mix of both, the unusual can really catch one's eye

pic related is the Méga Monte Carlo, french built and sports a merc v12 engine. crazy how it comes from a brand that makes microcars nowadays

>>6908010

>>6908484
Been wanting to replay underground 1 but can't get it to run on W10. Just get a load screen and the black anytime I boot it up.

>>6908535
Go read pcgamingwiki because I assure you it works.

>>6908548
oh turns out it was intro videos crashing it.
only learn that now from a youtube comment on a video made a month ago

>>6908663
Glad you sorted it as the game is much better than 2 imo. Looks absolutely stunning at modern resolutions.

>>6908670
ehh, 2 would be better if it wasn't for the URL races. or if they were redone. I'm surprised someone hasn't made a mod making them bearable.

Step aside, kino coming through:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60Y0rCF7TRM

>>6908680
What was wrong with the URL races again? I've not played NFSU2 for years so I can't really remember.

>>6908343
I don't fucking know, what did (You) think of it?

>>6909112
I thought it was pretty neat

>>6909130
Same. I really like the entire series, even though it's bullshittingly difficult at some points. Still stuck on that one MS:PR speed event.

>>6908680
UG2 is overall a boring game
UG1 is a straight up racing game, its tracks and handling is all the focus

in UG2 they completely lost their focus and tried to do a billion things at once and none of it is good
the open world sucks, the handling doesn't suit it, the races are all boring and repetitive, half of it isn't fun at all and you have to spend ages driving between events

it's such a poorly thought out meme game, fondly remembered because people had it when they were kids. Hot Pursuit 2 is better, Underground is better, Most Wanted and Carbon are better

>>6909441
UG is killed by its reputation, weird card physics and awful rubber banding

>>6909441
Nah, UG1 is almost more repetitive and it's economy is absolute shit. UG2 isn't much better but at least you can have a second car and deal with economical responsibilities of upgrading it. It's a fucking EXCELLENT game considering it was developed in a year and pretty good even not considering that and it's age.

>>6909691
>at least you can have a second car and deal with economical responsibilities of upgrading
completely irrelevent when the core racing mechanics of a racing game are boring

>>6909085
They take a while to do and are pretty boring. There's also a lot less track variety. Others have issues they take place on actual tracks as well and without any variety such as knockout, drag, or anything else. It's one of those things that pops up on replays and can wear at you going through the game. especially when you get to the 3 or 4 race championships that have one guy always rushing out ahead and can rubberband past you.

>>6910741
Oh yeah, I remember now. There was always a hairpin that the AI never slowed down for so they went flying.

>>6871775
How's Racing Lagoon? I was thinking of giving it a shot.

>>6911085
The racing RPG? I heard it's ambitious and neat but not exactly fun to play

>>6909695
Handling haven't changed since UG1.
And no, they're not irrelevant.

>>>/wsg/3628583
i maek webm

>>6875894
Wrong. The game forces you to beat the lower speedclasses first and it has a criminally low FOV. I've never understood the retarded fanboy shitflinging between fzero and wipeout. Since both are great and you'd likely like the other if you like one.

The sounds are burned into my soul. I was pleasantly surprised to find my babby brother playing the xbox arcade sequel. It's not amazing but not terrible either.

I don't know why but racing game shovelware always has sick music.
https://youtu.be/3F18zHIhxEg

>>6912238
Fun fact: that webm - one I recorded - is from 2016 and predates ballisticNG on steam. Contrary to what it suggests it is not a wipeout gameplay clip.

>>6912936
>Contrary to what it suggests it is not a wipeout gameplay clip.
well what is it then

>>6907158
No, the MC8-R did Le Mans (alongside the Supra that had 3S-GTE engine also used in GT500) in years you mentioned. That car also failed to qualify for 1997 Le Mans while Toyota officially took sabbatical from the race to develop the GT-One.

>>6913863
ah shit, must've got it confused with the mr2 they used at super gt, and if i'm not mistaken those did pretty well. thanks for the clarification
did you know the Age Licorne was basically a copy of a real car? it's called the Gillet Vertigo, you might know it from GT3 onwards

>>6913598
BallisticNG 0.6 track with a modded in wipeout 2097 craft with wipeout 3 HUD. BallisticNG back at that point in the time did not play like wipeout due to track design and wonky physics.

>>6914723
I should have realised it was ballisticNG from your earlier implication, apologies

>>6899643
Galaxian was RR1's loading screen. It also doesn't have any loading screens beyond it not because they heavily optimized loading, but because all the game data except music is 2 MB.

>>6914819
Really it means it's a well engineered, well designed game

>>6914819
>hey ken we have the new fangled cd's with a monstrous 700mb of storage - think of what we could do with that!

Yeah I know it's BNG. That's why I posted it.

Meh game, just found this image in my collection.

>>6914934
The music tracks are how Ridge Racer makes use of CD storage space.

>>6904807
Legitimately one of the best racing games on the ps2, don't judge by it's cover

Is there any racing game where you can blow your engine? I know some games have damage models and such but I want a game where I can over-rev the fuck out of it and destroy the car.

>>6915714
Most sims with damage modeling, I'd imagine. Some non sims too, I know offhand the first Grid definitely lets you toast an engine by over revving and mis shifting too many times or for too long.

>>6915059
nice ADS

Tokyo xtreme racer drift 2 is actually a very fun game, I've played since the early morning and its a lot of fun.

>>6908343

>Burnout Paradise is my favorite racing game ever
come on now Paradise aint bad but theres huge glaring flaws that keep it from even being the best Burnout game

30% in to GT4 and got bored of it again ,
my attempts to replay it just get tiring

ps is there a way to make the controls in sega touring car championship not suck?
using the model 2 emu

>>6905025
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS GAME WAS MEMORYHOLED BY MY BRAIN

>>6918481
>my attempts to replay it just get tiring
I know the feel, gt games are absolute kino first time but it just never feels the same second time around.

>>6918489
It had a sequel as well.

>>6915059
Alright, I gave it a try. Kind of easy but everything else is alright. Fun time, honestly. I'd recommend giving it a go.

The ISO I downloaded wouldn't burn to disc but it ran in PCSX2 so that's good enough, I suppose.

>>6917995
are burnout and burnout 2 any good?

>>6919485
yeah
they're more focused on racing than crashing into things like B3 was, although crash mode was introduced in B2

>>6919518
Burnout 3 annoys me as it is a definitive step down compared to 2 yet the ADHD retards cling to it like it is the second coming.

>>6919534
I really enjoy B3 though, especially its soundtrack. There's not a single bad song on it.

>>6919534
That is some real fucking balls you’ve got there.

Too bad it also makes you look retarded.

Comparing Burnout games is dumb because all of them are as good as each other

>>6920190
Except paradise, which is shit.

>>6919743
>Too bad it also makes you look retarded.
No, you just don't understand how the game is such a step down from 2 and remains inferior to revenge because you fall into said ADHD retard crowd.

Burnout 3 suffers from absolutely terrible design choices that are obscured by "OMG WE *ARE THE LAZY GENERATION" and DJ stryker. The vehicles all look the same across classes (a problem revenge has as well) meaning the difference between them is virtually non-existant. The tracks are way,. way too wide given the tighter, more technical design of 1 and 2 is lost in favour of just constantly using takedowns as a mechanic (omfg did you see how epic that was bro!?) rather than having the focus on racing first and foremost and takedowns as a tool to aid in that it is the reverse. The is a nothing but takedowns and the racing exists just to increase the challenge of them.

I'm not say it is a bad game - i'm saying it is the worst burnout game by a significant margin.

Threadly reminder:
>leftturnfags can't move on from NR2003
>rallyfags can't move on from RBR

>>6921318
You're vastly overplaying Burnout 3's flaws there. It sounds to me like you're in that crowd who hate B3 because it took a different route than the first two games. Clearly taking a different direction is such a cardinal sin in your eyes you'll insult anyone who dares like it.

>The vehicles all look the same across classes (a problem revenge has as well) meaning the difference between them is virtually non-existant.
No they don't.

>The is a nothing but takedowns and the racing exists just to increase the challenge of them.
I'd say the Time Trials more than made up for the lack of pure racing. Why is that such an inherently bad thing in your eyes?

>>6921592
Why are you responding to a literal retard?

>>6921749
Is there a problem with that? I'm trying to understand how the fuck he's ended up with that opinion.

>>6921749
Clearly not liking burnout 3 must be punishable by death. The rules are as follows: rate B3 as pinnacle of series, hate paradise and never mention the original.

>>6921520
for me its Collin Mcrea Rally 2.0

Anyone ever played Super Hang-On? I liked it a lot, people say Road Rash is better because the controls aren't as tight but I think the tight controls really add something more to the experience of feeling like you're actually controling a motorcycle

just found a pretty cool mod for Gran Turismo 2 lads:
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/mod-gran-turismo-2-plus-bug-fixes-restored-content-and-new-content.378282/
fixes bugs and adds a lot of cut content. the only thing it's missing is the kickass instrumental rock soundtrack from the Japanese version, but I guess I can deal with that.

>>6921960
I played Super Hang-On at this local pizza place that has long since closed down.
damn that was a fun game.
not a /vroom/ game, but they had a Warriors of Fate machine there too, pic related. think Dynasty Warriors, but a 2d beat em up. it was based on a JP manga, that was based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms like DW was.

>>6920190
Well 1 is a bit primitive today.

I will revive /vroom/ if it dies

>>6923341
>the only thing it's missing is the kickass instrumental rock soundtrack from the Japanese version,
Can't you just patch the Japanese version?
I didn't see anything about music being altered from the base game on that page you linked... or do you just not want to deal with 日本語?

>>6924297
reread and I guess it works for all versions
so I am trying to patch Jap version rn

Why do people even play GT4 when the obviously superior game is on the same console

>>6925415
As a rule enthusia didn't become popular precisely because it isn't GT.

>>6925441
Well fuck that it rules.

>>6925451
You'll find a lot of good racing games from the middle to end of the PS2's lifespan (and this applies enieirly to the 360/ps3 generation) bomb because the playerbase did to them what happened to the wipeout and f-zero competitors. Basically "why should I play <game> when I can play GT!?". Sony giving polyphony unlimited time and money to make such a polished product makes other developers have an uphill battle.

>>6925479
Sounds like a bunch of losers. Just play games people.

>>6925479
What competitors were there at the time?
Most similar games I can think of are recent games, either consciously aping one of the two or trying to distinguish themselves to different degrees of success.
If you mean futuristic racers in general, Extreme G comes to mind as something that might have been pushed aside by F-Zero, there's Tube Slider, which was originally pitched as an F-Zero game, there's Kinetica on the PS2, Grand Chaser could have been competing with Wipeout's Saturn ports.

I really enjoyed the arcade release. Great upgrade in graphics, great feeling of speed, better rumble on the 360 controller vs. the dreamcast controller, and no framerate hiccups (gd-rom release still lags, especially in VGA ouptut. It's not just the burned CD's)

>>6921520
RBR Rallyfags are gone. Replaced with some casual amalgamation of dirt and dirt rally fans. People genuinely thought Dirt Rally was an acceptable game with it's zero multiplayer and nocontent. Every time codemasters shits out some PR response the playerbase eats it up like useless faggots. It's been like 10 years and they still won't release the mod tools to support their shitty engine so they can keep squeezing out minimal effort turds. Holy fuck i'm mad.

>>6925558
I think he just means AG racan and future racan in general. I think he's wrong. It seems to be like AG racan was already a small niche and piling on tens if not hundreds of titles was just saturating an already small market. Wipeout was popular but not THAT popular and Fzero was lucky it even got a sequel in GX. I think it's more a mixture of sleeper hits and gaming industry still having the mentality of churning out clones of sleeper hits to try and strike gold.
I don't think you can compare AG racing games and shit like Gran Turismo because one was a tiny niche that appeared for a short time and the other targets a fairly common hobby (carfags)
