/vr/ - Retro Games

Don't mind me, just racing some shitboxes

You primitives and your road vehicles

I will never stop taking high res screenshots of my favourite classic racing games. I am sure there is some autist who hates it.

Wipeout is awesome. Still haven't found anything that goes as hard as We Have Explosive and is as visually stunning as tDR's work.

>>7336845
>>7336839
>>7336826
>>7336821
I wish we had a way to annoy autists with 4K screenshots of PGR and PGR2
Fuck...

Someone said ballisticng desu?

Spiritual successor to Wipeout? Awesome.

>>7336934
It doesn't get the kind of attention it deserves

>>7336821
anon, no

>>7336995
More like no u.

the music in Ridge Racer type 4 is banging

>>7337149
music in a lot of old racers bangs.
hell, Test Drive 6 has Leave You Far Behind, which is, like, the bangest track in existence.
lookin good

I just miss when racing game soundtracks - be it original scores or licensed music - were actually high intensity, high energy blood pumpers to let the player feel the speed. From the classic arcade sounds of Daytona, SCUD race to the more metal seen in DD2, demolition Racer and the thumping DnB of rollcage. The current trend of tamer rap and pop style songs does not sit well with me.

I'm looking for something Arcadey and very fast with some non-traditional mechanics. Maybe tricks that can affect the race somehow? Not sure.

mario Kart 64

>>7337502
Random games that come to mind:

Stunt GP
Distance
Speed punks
S.C.A.R.S
Impact racing

PC road rash. Best version. Forget the 3d'oh

>>7337502
try this one, its actually really fun, it has tricks, it takes some mastering of the ramps and momentum to play well and you can fuck the other racers over and make them fall. You can absolutely make other people seethe if you play this in multiplayer, is great

>>7337593
I have 3 different released versions of this, all with different cover art and builds of the game. I want to know the story behind its fragmented release, I'm sure one of them is even the 3DO version ported back to PC.

>>7336830
For me it was always Loops of Fury by the Chemical Brothers.

>>7337623
It is basically the same deal as TNFS where the first release was then tweaked for each platform it is on. Remember there is a PSX version.

>>7336939

Nossir, I don't like it.

While the controls are fine, as well as the visuals, being forced to race in a team's craft that the player does not select themselves is a bad error of game design. There are also some lacking optional feature toggle annoyances here and there.

I applaud the former Wip3out team members for their fine efforts, however I will stick with AG-Sys. I thank Neognosis for their hard work.

Fucking amateurs.

>>7337945
Ex wipeout Devs made Pacer. Think carefully upon what you wish.

>>7336850
I always feel like revisiting PGR3 over PGR4, but PGR3 was a launch title and it ran at below native 1280x720 with no antialiasing so it looks incredibly chunky and very hard on the eyes. PGR4 on the other hand runs at native 1280x720 and incredibly antialiased, smooth as fuck.

>>7338250
People need to stop memeing that Formula Fusion (aka Pacer) was made by "ex-wipeout devs". It's like one or two random dudes trying to shill on a loosely connected thread. It's been going on for like 8 years.

>>7338289
It isn't a loose connection - it was part of formula fusion's marketing before they basically cancelled the game for a year. Regardless i've played enough of it to be able to perfectelly articulate why it is shit and why BallsiticNG stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the games it takes inspiration from.

>>7338469
It is a loose connection, and the fact it was part of their marketing is what makes it so scummy. I was so glad the game got shit on from Formula Fusion to Pacer because they deserve it. Andrew Walker's credit only appeared in Wipeout 3 as an artist so to me that's definitely leeching.

Just replaying NFSII using the simulation physics and man does that change the challenge of the game. It slows the game down a notch and makes it truly feel like the stepping stone it is between TNFS and HP. I really should've given simulation more attention back in the day as it does make vehicle differences (notably braking) more pronounced.

>>7340248
I used to think this game didn't play enough like Ridge Racer but now I think it's fine.

Although its non-canon since it sets the Revolution track in the wrong locale.

Anyone here like Daytona USA on the Sony Playstation?

>>7337593
It's true. This bitch somehow just ran on my Win10 machine. At 640x480 only but it fuckin' did! I think it even played the CD music during races, which only the Sega CD did before it(don't ask me why)

>>7338278
Oh god yeah. They really showed what the 360 can do at 30fps and have set the standard for engine sound which was unbeatable for a straight decade.*ahem*
FUCK ACTIVISION
also 360 games aren't retro,bro

>>7337502
>Big fan of Bhopping and Source Surfing

It's not retro and it's not a driving game but you might like inMomentum

For me it's Sega GT

>>7341737
It's okay but, if you go Dreamcast MSR is the patrician choice. Seriously, even car modeling blows it away.

Look at all you pathetic console babies.

>>7342713
I sure miss DOS at times.

>>7342713
IndyCar Racing is probably, to this day, the most based and realistic driving sim.

>>7337363
Burnout 3 did it rather well.

I always liked the ChoroQ games. It surprised me when they quit making them.

Imagine the state of mind when I passed from these to ICR2 directly (on a demo disk then with the complete edition out of fucking nowhere a few months later).The first Grand Prix by Microprose was quite something else too, but not as much on the scale that ICR2 (and GP2) had.

would you pardon me for a little repost
>>>/v/542116513

>>7339093
you mean ps1 hp right? pc versions gone lame kind of arcade route, downgrade from even nfs2 simulation mode

>>7344175
The PS1 version of HP has much more arcade style handling than the PC version so no, I do not mean the PS1 version.

>>7340429

LOL, fucking forgot about this. Nice catch

>>7337593

Then this comes along and totally changes the game.

>those controls
>those roads designs
>the music

>>7340429
Ever play the sequel?

How is it that these threads are so civil and quality when the rest of /vr/ has turned into a shit fest? Good on you guys.

>>7346939
Because we had a shitfest a while ago and massively learned from it.

does anyone remember this game?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxlMvtKDdVo

>>7347001
No.

>>7347001
Remember playing a demo of it back in the day. Never got the full game though.

>>7346992
I wish I had a nice comfy garage like that.

>>7347139
Same. This whole game is comfy as fuck desu

>>7347001
I remember it mainly because it had support for intel's Pentium MMX technology and they were acting like MMX made shit look amazing. It just looked OK for the time and the gameplay was mediocre.

>>7344156
fuck's sake I shouldn't have laughed

>>7336939
>It doesn't get the kind of attention it deserves
i liked it until he fucked it up and caved to the moany fuckers and dumbed it down to be more fzero style when u hit walls, completely destroys the point of air brakes and learning lines.

>>7340278
>I used to think this game didn't play enough like Ridge Racer
you mean it takes actual skill?

>be a kid
>never let go of the accelerator
>use bouncing off walls to steer

>>7346971
yes lucky i weaned out the nerdlings who corrupt these places for their own gain and pretend to care about retro whilst trying to cheat in comps which are just for fun with emulator tweaks.

>>7347643
>>be a kid
>>never let go of the accelerator
>>use bouncing off walls to steer


The F-queero experience!

>>7347646
Not really a coincidence those "just for fun" comps died on their arse because of autism... like everything else on this site.

>>7345679
>LOL, fucking forgot about this. Nice catch

Burning Road is an early 1996 PS1 release, it is not one of the most technically impressive games. But it runs at 30fps and it is almost like Sega Rally Championship if it was remade using the Daytona USA engine. It is a fun arcade racer.

>>7346629
>>>7340429 (You)
>Ever play the sequel?

I only have through emulation. X Racing (Extreme Racing) was only released in Japan and Europe. It was never sold in North America (I am from Canada). I remember the first person camera for the motorcycle riders being really well done. The sequel is also worth checking out.

>>7341737
The controls are fucking horrible but it doesn't get the love it deserves. I still remember my first used Honda CR-X that I tuned to the limit and beat every race it could enter except the drag.

>>7342046
That's a great game as well, but it doesn't have the amount of (JP) shitboxes as segran turismo.

>>7344965
there is a simulation option on ps1 you haven't noticed

>>7349160
I am aware but the difference is far more subtle compared to the PC physics.

>>7351030
fucking hell a Ford GT90

haven't seen one of those in anything for years

>>7351335
In NFSII it is the only (standard) car that roars - all the others whine.

Risk it all for victory.
