/vr/ - Retro Games

>>7646905
Thank you, OP. You did me a solid.

>>7647232
Why do you shill?

Near chase camera = hood camera > far chase camera > cockpit view > literal shit > bumper camera

>Test Drive 5
Fvck I played that a lot as a kid on PlayStation. I used the Viper

TDU is the only good game in the series

>>7647841
When it had online sure

>>7647841
The fact they ported the whole game to PSP is impressive

I wish there was a racing game general instead of multiple half-dead threads in different boards.

>>7647841
TDU was the one game that really needed to be on PS3 (besides Most Wanted 2005) since going online would be free.

>>7647883
The only consistently active one is /ovg/ and it fucking sucks

>>7647856
It's the PS2 version, though. The 360 version is much more in-depth.

It is a very relaxing and comfy experience.

Anybody else played this? I like the sim controls but the car tuning is overwhelming.

>>7649770
This game is a masterclass in every single aspect, EXCEPT gameplay. It's the biggest example of wasted potential in the genre.

>>7649793
I still don't understand this sentiment, I like the game a lot (both the JP and western physics). When it comes to racing games I try to abide by their driving model and master them, whatever it is.

what are best vroom games on ps1?

Decided to give Tourist Trophy a try.

It’s...okay. I like that getting new bikes doesn’t rely on money but the racing is pretty plain.

Also racing a bike around Monaco is weirdly fascinating (it seems like a terrible idea in practice but it’s still a strange idea worth exploring).

>>7646905
THEN I MUST BE SOME TYPE OF

GENIE-USSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

best intro to any racing game ever

>>7646905
>electronic arts
what test drive had that nfs didn't?

>>7650298
I honestly think most people just don't understand how to play it. It's a weird mix of arcade and driving sim controls and when you factor in the fact that you pretty much need to be using MT you're left with a tiny fraction of people who won't rage quit after spinning out when trying to turn. My biggest issue is the tuning. Adjusting the parts per track is confusing enough but giving you the choice of part manufacturer is dumb. What difference does it make if I use Michelin or Goodyear tires.

>>7650298
The gameplay's just bad. Cars feel like they're being pulled back when they accelerate and fell way too slow for their specs. Turning is stiff and drifting on tarmac is a mystery of the universe with how broken it is. I heard the dirt tracks are a bit better but it just doesn't feel good to play compared to a lot of other games. There's nothing to "understand" about it, not after seeing how GT plays like.

>>7647853
It still does

>>7649770
I played it back in the day. I thought the controls felt awful at the time, but maybe it warrants a second try.

>>7649770
I heard the JP version was better

>>7652060
It handles differently than the US version, is all.

>>7652014
You just have to set the car's stats to specifically suit each stage then it gets a lot easier. Also down shift to a low gear to get high RPMs for drifting otherwise you'll just spin out. MT is kinda essential. It's sim drift controls so regulating with acceleration and counter steering rather than just tapping the e brake like most arcade racers.
>>7652060
It makes the game more about cornering properly rather than drifting. It's slightly easier but both version are difficult.

Remember to adjust braking distance for adverse weather anons.

>>7649770
Automodelista control is shit.
Automodelista US Tuned control is God Tier.
Why this difference ? IDK.

Bump

>>7652171
I don't know if I'd say God tier but it is fun. Too hard for most people though. If you can't drive a stick don't even bother.

I know its not retro, but I often hear PGR3 is better than 4, is that true?

>>7649770
I confuse the game with auto mobilista

>>7653829
I think 4 is better and harder

>>7649770
What's the best version of it?

For some reason I have decided to play all handheld versions of NFS games, most of them were meh but it was an interesting experience even though none of them are as good as Burnout Legends or Midnight Club 3
I know most don't count as retro by the rules

Actually enjoyable on its own tier
Carbon OTC PSP, Underground Rivals

Decent tier
Carbon OTC GBA, Carbon OTC DS, ProStreet DS

Ok tier
Underground 1 and 2 GBA, Shift PSP, Nitro DS

Meh tier
Porsche Unleashed GBA, Underground 2 DS, Most Wanted GBA, Most Wanted 5-1-0, ProStreet PSP, Undercover PSP and DS

Abortion tier
Most Wanted DS

What went wrong with PS version of Porsche? In most other cases PS1 version was roughly on par with the PC one but this one feels like significant downgrade

I've got off work early, today is a beautiful day and I think in a couple hours a cold beer and some /vroom/ing is in order - any suggestions as to what I should play?

Pic unrelated.

>>7654867
different developer. Eden Games worked on the PS1 rather then the A-team at EA canada.

>>7653829
Not true. 4 is excellent, 3 is just good.

>>7655359
Huh they made V rally - that is a game i've not played in 20 years.

>>7654867
Looks like shit

>>7655117
Project gotham racing 1

>>7655540
does it have batman in it

>>7655554
No, but it’s like ridge racer but better

>>7652075
>both version are difficult.
No they're not. Auto Modelista is sleep-inducingly easy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_fybMOsRxE
remember supercar street challenge?

>>7656132
Looks like Ridge Racer but without the colorful graphics, excited announcer, happy-go-lucky music, cute grid queens and charmingly archaic gameplay that makes you feel alive.

it tickles me that /v/ routinely has better /vroom/ threads than here but we get a more stable discussion over some lesser known titles.

>>7656372
Because we're forced to talk about a small subset of games that came out between 1992 and 2001 because everything before is shit and everything after isn't retro enough.

>>7656414
Hey depending on region ridge racer 7 is retro.

What's the comfiest you've ever been while vrooming?
>mulsanne at night in the wet

>>7656610
NFS porsche with music turned off, engine volume reduced and ambient sound maxed out.

>>7656610
Probably GT4 endurance races. Just completely zoned out, pure flow state, for hours.

Beware, someone is flooding the board. Threads are getting pushed off the catalog.

Is there any point in playing a racing game that doesn't even offer a singleplayer championship mode? Just having the tracks thrown at you in a freeplay arcade mode like "here, do whatever" feels sad, like the developers just expected you to waste away repeating tracks with no ultimate goal.

>>7646905
So I'm playing a Gran Turismo game (can't say which one) and I have a weird problem. I got a Yaris Turbo as my first car so I can blaze through Sunday Cup, FF, Vitz Cup, etc to get my first wave of dosh. The problem is, I feel nothing ever comes close to getting a RX7 FD as your second, FR car. That car is just straight up busted. It's your typical 276hp FR car but it only weighs ~1270kg and can be had for dirt cheap $35k-$40k. Everything else like NSX is MR. WRX and Evo are 4WD. Skyline, Supra, and 350Z are pigfat 1500kg+. Next in line after the FD is a S2000 which is light but lacking in power. There's literally no reason to not buy a FD and early game becomes a joke.

>>7650640
The racing in Tourist Trophy actually puts me to sleep, which is a huge let down because the bikes look amazing.
>check timestamps
>photos from 2009

>>7653829
My favorite thing about PGR3 over 4 is that you buy cars with money and you can use them in any races without restriction. I think I just used an Ultima for almost the entire game.

>>7657453
>So I'm playing a Gran Turismo game (can't say which one)
>Sunday Cup, FF, Vitz Cup
It's GT3

>>7657506
I can't say because it's not retro but it's basically GT4.5 which is what I am after

>>7657532
Oh, so 5?
Wait, why are you playing 5? 6 is a direct upgrade.

>>7657532
>I can't say because it's not retro
Nobody cares here.

Lmao I won despite finishing at the exactly same time as the opponent

>>7657596
Best lap the tiebreaker factor then? That's neat.

>>7657604
Or it might just inherently give the player the win in a tiebreaker. I wish I could remember which game it was but one racing game I played would always place the a.i above the player in the case of a tie for championship points, which is unusual.

>>7649770
>AUTO MODELLISTA!!!!!!!

Finally finished my MCII run and the veloci is now in my grubby hands. I think I will run through the career mode again using only this just to stomp the everliving shit out of the game at standard difficulty.

>>7657546
Really we should talk about every racing game we can.

>>7657836
Exactly.

Jesus the AI in the early NFS games is total bullshit sometimes, the rubber banding in these games has always been really bad
Like in one race right after the start my opponent got an 8 second lead, they generally make almost no mistakes and can easily sweep through you, but what's most annoying is that they can take corners perfectly without slowing down.
I'm playing on supposed beginner difficulty and there is barely any difference

>>7657596
oh so I'm not the only one replaying high stakes

>>7658203
Watch this - the game really isn't that hard. https://files.catbox.moe/g8c6up.webm

>>7656292
It has it’s own charm and style about it and is very challenging, especially the first game.

>>7657546
I wish. I got fucking assblasted in a vroom thread months ago for talking about a psp game. Fuck those all that did. I agree with >>7657836
Obviously keeping topic is important, but if someone wants to mention something "out of bounds" let them damn.

>>7658893
Well whoever that gatekeeping retard is can go fuck themselves

>>7658901
Yessir.

>>7658247
That final tournament on the racing tracks is quite some shit

>>7658263
Maybe I just suck but I had no problem with any NFS games since HP2
Feels like older games had less content but more challenge

CART racing has too many oval circuits. YAAAAAWN

>>7657462
The AI in TT Superbikes can occasionally be competitive (in heads-up races, the actual TT format stuff is super easy) but trying to ride the course is 95% of the fun.

>>7658893
Being outside of /v/ is an obvious plus to good discussion if we keep it civil.

>>7659184
This game looks nice, what platform is it for?

Is it just an Isle of Man game or do they have other courses (if I want to play an Isle of Man game I can just play TT: Isle of Man on Xbox One).

>>7646905
>>7647713
HERE IN MY CAR

>>7659304
Webm only has the mountain course and Southern 100.
The sequel, TT Superbikes Real Road Racing Championship, has Aberdare Park, Macau, Ulster, Oliver's Mount and the Northwest 200 as well. Less bikes though. There's also a third game with even less bikes but they're the classics like the Norton F1 and Honda RC161, although I don't know about the tracks in that one because it's expensive. PS2 exclusives.

What are some good NES /vr/ approved racing games?

>>7659807
>2D "racing" games
Nothing but illusions.

>>7658893
I told a few people about PSP cause people legit did not know that it's not meeting the retro guidelines but I don't think I grilled anyone on it. I'm sorry if I upset you.

>>7659287
Yep I agree. That's why gatekeeping should be an executable offense. This is the one corner of this site I can actually talk about games, let alone my favorite genre

>>7659894
I sincerely doubt you did any grilling. I was one of the confused people asking of it was retro or not too, but the sentiment is appreciated, and rare

>>7659807
RC Pro Am

>>7646905
I don't know much about racing games so im going to ask here
Im playing Super Hang On for sega genesis and liking it a lot (Even if i can't move beyond the 4th stage in original mode) making money in races and upgrading the bike, are there any other OLD games that capture that feeling and that you're willing to recomend? Bikes or cars is fine, im also aware of Road Rash and played them before, finally i want OLD games, so PS1 and before if posible

>>7660516
Love to see a pre-3D-racing-games-lover around :)

In the Sega Genesis:
- Top Gear 2 has the same concept of making money and upgrading the car.
- Lotus Turbo Challenge doesn't have a "career" mode, but I find it quite enjoyable, and the state-of-the-art of the pseudo-3D racing games. Lotus II: RECS has more options, but doesn't feel as good as its predecessor.

In the SNES:
- Top Gear 2 is also in the SNES (as its inferior cousins Top Gear and Top Gear 3000); you may want to test both and decide which version do you prefer.
- Lamborghini American Challenge has a bet system, and the racing is good too.
- As you mentioned Road Rash, try Full Throttle: All-American Racing

In other systems:
- ZOSYA entertainment releases "Just a Gal" for the ZX Spectrum in 2019. The game can be freely downloaed. Not sure if this is too retro for you.

"Mode 7" racing games have aged badly, but if the career mode is more important than the racing part, there are several entries in the SNES and GBA catalog; mostly japanese exclusives (Drift King, GP-1, GT Racing, GT Advance...)

>>7660516
You've GOT to try this one on the NES

hey frens, I asked elsewhere and forgot
d3d or glide for high stakes?

>>7661349
Doesn't really matter, though iirc d3d has proper working projected headlights.

>>7661407
define proper, if i recall it washes everything out to almost pure white

>>7661418
That is just gamma ramping. Proper as in there is no Z fighting which - again iirc - glide has for projected. Vertex works fine no matter what renderer you use.

>>7661456
why would they do that though, it looks terrible
and why has no one modded it

>>7661493
Glide has has gamma ramp due to basically being designed for 20 year old hardware that renders graphics very differently to today.

>and why has no one modded it
No point when the other renderer gives the same IQ and features.

>>7656292
yeah but it's still better than ridge racer, PGR was the shit

>GT2: good controls, loads of content, dated graffix
>GT3: god tier controls, good graffix, less than 200 fucking cars after 2 had 600
>GT4: god tier graffix, god tier content, shitty controls
IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR GT3 WITH 2's CARS WOULD BE LITERAL PERFECTION

>>7659817
Controversial take. But you're right.

>>7661303
>>7661321
Thanks a lot

>>7661819
> less than 200 fucking cars after 2 had 600
You really do love skylines huh.

>>7661909
no, i like my 96 accord wagon you faggotlord

>>7662247
Alright Yamauchi calm your tits.

I forgot NFS2 has the slideshows for the cars that are pure marketing wank. It is just like reading Autocar/Road & Track and the like.

>>7662451
>It's like reading Road & Track
I mean...

>>7662549
Technically only for the first one.

>>7658994
I'm still working the corvette cup now. Never beat it as a kid, I got to the 2nd to last tournament before my memory card corrupted but that's it.

Made this for a /v/ thread but who doesn't love a racing game intro? NFSII might not make top 3 best racing intros ever but it is a breddy gud one.

>>7662661
it honestly should be since they got a one of a kind car and went dumb fast with it somehow just for an intro.

>>7662662
I do love the style it has. The same sort of feel it gives off (well, all of the old NFS intros do) is the reason i've had this video bookmarked for a decade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLK25tv5C3I

Every time I see that video it brings me back to those old NFS games, test drive hell even wipeout when game intros were meant to be hype machines for the gameplay that follows.

Why was High Stakes renamed to Road Challenge in Europe?

Bump

>>7663367
Needed a cooler name.

How many racing games with the word "Challenge" in the title can you name off the top of your head?

>>7664729
Only one because all others pale in comparison to lotus turbo challenge.

Where my re-volt chads at

I had a chance to buy an N64 racing game yesterday but I ended up opting out because I didn't know which one was the best one to go with.

Which is the best of these four: F1 Pole Position, Automobili Lamborghini, GT64, or Offroad Challenge (I was leaning towards Offroad Challenge at the time).

>>7665245
Playing at truly silly resolutions.

>>7665530
Gt64, criminally underrated

Is there any easy way to configure a Xbox controller on GP4? Using the Left Analog to aceel, brake and steering is a pain in the ass.

Midnight club II is back on steam. Rockstar fucked up relisting their games after delisting them and accidentally put it back up for sale.

>>7665530
Definitely Offroad Challenge.

>>7666285
Supposedly it has gone again.

>>7666374
yeah it's gone now.

Fuck I love how comfy this is.

>>7666445
Something about porsche unleashed's graphics make it pretty comfy.

Gonna try a game called Apex (or "Racing Evoluzione", depending on where it was released) on Xbox.

>>7666580
the front end looks like a melting anime girl face

>>7666606
Sometimes the games that time forgot were forgotten for a reason.

>>7666580
Is this the xbox equivalent to wild wild racing? A game that is cool in theory but rough as fuck in reality?

>>7666053
Low-res textures at post-HD resolutions, it burns.

>>7666623
how else do I play juiced 2?

>>7666617
Not sure there's any comparison to be made there but the footage I saw looked at least playable. I'll have to get into to know if it's shoddy or worthwhile as a whole.

>>7666623
'tis fucking glorious.

>>7666246
H-halp, plz.

Tried Apex for a few minutes. Seems alright, although the default cars seem very slow (I couldn't even get past 4th place).

It's kind of like a budget Project Gotham Racing in terms of style.

>>7666629
How's 2 compared to 1?

>>7649770
Apparently this was also on Xbox. For some reason I thought it was only on PS2 and GC.

just bought ridge racer 64, cant wait to play it for months

thoughts on the 64 version btw?

>>7666617
Probing deeper into different racing game options for the Xbox in this nonstop pursuit of the perfect racing game, I feel like this description would probably fit World Racing 2.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYMmPt6byYw

Apparently it's "not fun", according to the reviews of the time, despite looking somewhat decent.

What are some free games i can get on the internet archive?

>>7667134
The drifiting is "on rails" but you can turn it off for classic drifting.

Fuck off back to r3ddit with your meaningless buzzword

>>7668452
(your) pic related, "1000 Miglia: Great 1000 Miles Rally (94-07-18)" by Kaneko

the only decent racing game was GT until like 2009 lol all these games are trash

>>7668481
Don't be a fucking dipshit anon. I've been playing the game for 20 years and my feelings have not changed - just because you are angry don't spread it to others. There are no memes ass no doubt there are games you feel the same way about. If not then you have a far sadder existence than I anticipated.

>>7668481
Nigger

It's a weird place when you like the aesthetics of cars and playing /vr/ arcade racers but don't really know jack shit about engineering or anything and don't really care to. Can I still say I'm into cars??

>>7669880
Sega Rally got me into cars a little bit. Just look up what makes the most famous machines famous in the first place, stuff like engine specs, acceleration, how many competitions a specific car model has won, and interesting trivia. Then expand from there.

>>7669880
Playing with manual transmission made me start caring a lot more about cars and performance.

I wish I understood gear ratios more fully because it would really help me dial in how I want my revs to operate.

Are there any PS1 racing games that run at 60fps? other than the RR1 port in Ridge Racer Type 4

>>7670029
Wipeout 3.

>>7670035
wrong

>>7670029
Motorhead, Colin Mcrae with a cheat, Muppet Racemania, Rapid Racer, RC de Go, Running Wild

>>7670124
Motorhead runs at 60fps? Huh.

>>7647645

>Get my best time ever in a track, many seconds ahead of the second place AI in the scoreboard, which I'm positive is the quickest time I'll ever get
>Struggle to enjoy playing the game afterwards since it now judges my subsequent times against my best as if I were inferior to my past self, even if I'm not trying to beat my times (not that I could, anymore)
I wish every game had an option to disable scoreboards like ghost cars.

>>7671594
Sounds like a you problem.

>GT4 diary
>records everytime you restart
BUT WHY

>>7670140
You have to turn it on

>>7670035
The average /vr/ citizen can't tell the difference between 30 fps and 60 fps

>>7670124
wait muppet racemania? I knew that game was based

>>7667123
Each new version of the game came with some enhancements, so Xbox version being released last would have the most fixes.

>>7671780
just don't restart lmao

>>7671791
I bought a 120hz screen 30fps is fucking harsh these days which is a serious issue for /vroom/ing it up given so many classics ran at 30fps or less in the console space. It is more bearable for older PC games as that is less of an issue, but still it happens.

One thing I really love about NFS Most Wanted is that even if you cheated and gave yourself infinite money the game is still interesting and challenging. Having infinite money means you can just maintain as many cars as you want but racing and escaping the cops is still fun.

>>7673753
>he didn't beat MW in a stock Golf

What if we drove off the hill on Trial Mountain
But on a motorcycle

anyone familiar with code R on the Saturn?
apparently was a Racing game with Dating sim elements.

>>7674832
some more screenies.

>>7670035
60 hz which is 30 fps, pal is 50 which is 25

No one can touch me

>>7676869
Could anyone beat this guy as kid?

>>7676886
I was about to say I did then I realised I was 18 when the game released which explains a lot as to why he wasn't too much of a challenge.

>>7676886
Yes, uh, multiple times actually.

>>7646905
im gonna play some TD5 now OP, thank you
its kusoge but i have fond memories of it

>>7676886
Just use Vette or Viper and you can overtake him in first corner

What do you guys think - Burnout 3, or GT4 (NA release), which has a worse soundtrack

>>7678903
The Burnout 3 tracks are at least evocative of the game's tone and era. The licensed tracks in GT4 feel completely out of place, and this is exacerbated by the length of the races and the relative lack of sound effects. The random jazz or whatever that plays in the menus is pretty nice though.

>>7678903
With my impeccable taste I have trimmed all the good songs from the GT series and none of the ones I kept are from GT4. On the other hand I have a few songs from Burnout 3 saved because while they're kinda silly, they're fun to listen to, so there you have it.

>>7678903
FlatOut 2 music > Burnout 3 music

>>7679281
GT1 and 2 had much better soundtrack than new games

>>7679214
>>7679281
>t. played the NA release
the US release cut tons of music
i have no idea why but it's super annoying that there's no complete version of GT3 and 4, you get PAL version at incorrect framerate or US release missing tons of music

idk what that anon saying it doesn't fit the game is talking about

>>7680708
I gave this game a try and it felt awful. I wanted to like it. Any advice?

>>7682048

What are some games like Beetle Adventure Racing that that arcady feeling and that sense of exploration of the track?

The DS version doesn't sound much better
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vnl567po3s

>>7683891
It isn't good but that is night and day against the GBA.

This talk of soundtracks is auspicious timing - I was fucking around with my copy of demo one for PSX and there is f1 96 on it, playing the demo and it has such a generic rock soundtrack that is so 90's I had to chuckle.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_10KcV54Qg

>>7683901
The game itself is much worse though

F1 1996's soundtrack is pretty neat though. I mean, have you listened to Teutonic Stomp and Vai-lent Vengeance? You could kill to the sound of these riffs. Psygnosis' inhouse band made absolute bangers.

Gotta say I am digging rage racer's style more now that I can throw resolution at it via emulators. The muted style compared to the first 2 games (with less bold, contrasting colours) really muddied together at PSX resolutions - even on a CRT it looks almost dull.

It's a cool game but please, at least disable the texture filtering.

>>7684364
Of course of course - I realise the error of my ways by not playing how others deem acceptable. Forgive me for my transgressions anon - I will now commit sudoku to wash away the dishonour.

What makes remix betterthan original?

>>7685296
More content. Also a diablo.

>>7682127
That exactly what I did and I still hate it. Would rather play Burnout 3, Sega GT , and Forza.

>>7685351
>Sega GT
I'm a Sega GT apologist but if you actually think it's better than PGR2, you're trolling.

>>7685360
I don't know if it's better but I rather play Sega GT from start to finish before I finish a single race in PGR2. I was hoping for some advice and got nothing.

>>7685413
What sort of advice could I possibly give you? It's a racing game. Drive around the corners. Drift to get Kudos, I guess.

Ive probably put more hours into sega gt 2002 than any other driving game ever. It was insane how much I played that shit. Loaded up the xbox with initial d songs for the custom soundtracks, shit was cash back in the day

>>7685710
I feel the same and I don't understand why. It's not a particularly good looking or sounding game, it doesn't really do anything original, and the gameplay is nothing to write home about. The car selection is limited compared to other games but it has rare japanese cars which certainly has its own appeal. The only way I can explain how much I want to play the game is how the cars handle in a balance of sim and arcade with the damage being a game within a game. The progression just keeps pushing you and punishing you to continue advancing. You just want to unlock everything.

>>7685743
it's been a really long time since i've played it. I can remember being able to tune/upgrade pretty much any car to the point where it was an absolute rocket with go-kart handling. I definitely beat the whole game etc, I can remember one of the last license tests being probably one of the hardest things I've ever actually managed to accomplish in any video game. Online added a nice amount of stuff as well from what I recall. I would say it bears some similarity to Battle Gear 3, another really great game, in it's presentation/handling but that game doesn't let you get nearly as indepth with car customization etc.

im playing this for the first time recently since i just got an xbox. its definitely fun, way better than the one on dreamcast.

What's the board's opinion on the TrackMania series? More specifically pic related?

>>7686251
I love a lot of the older ones but my favorite is the first one. I'd go to the desert and put down a long line of booster tracks and one ramp and fly off outside the zone and land in a canyon miles away.

That and snow level hamster trails were super fun to make

>>7686251
It's fun for a little bit but I hate that it's the only game with track creation this easy and with online leaderboards because its physics model feels so so anemic and simplistic to me.

>>7686251
It would be fun if it had actual fucking racing with live opponents and car collisions disabled instead of just fucking time trials with ghosts.

>>7686521
plebian detected, all that shit is just for beginners, time trial is where the real funs at in every racing game

>>7687615
I remember being a really dumb 11/12 year old and asking for the intro song from either that or Gran Turismo 3 to get played at the school disco. They didn't allow it.

>>7687627
fucking lol

endless pleasure in a limousine

>>7687627
why didn't you just tell them the songs name?
"play gran turismo music" is a lot more retarded than "play feeder just a day"

Every tried playing the game with the difficulty maxed out?

I'm not very good at this game.

I'm trying to install High stakes and Porsche unleashed on windows 10. for some reason I can't anymore. I boot it up and hit install but after that it crashes with no message.

>>7689496
You need fan patches to make them work - pcgamingwiki has plenty of links.

>>7687615
if that is your genuine opinion then I would need to see your reasoning, as I would strongly disagree

Yeah it is because It’s a fun arcade game with so much cool shit you can do it

>>7659807
Rad Racer was pretty cool

>>7646905
Any good moto racing games outside of Motocross Madness and Midnight Club?

>>7690798
I liked Castrol Honda Superbike 2000

>>7689836
I'm not there yet, I'm talking about installing them. I load the disc up, hit install and it crashes. I haven't even gotten to the step of applying fan patches.

>>7690798
Riding Spirits II is motorcycle Gran Turismo with wonky physics and the touge from Initial D.

>>7686251
TMN is probably the racing game I sunk the most time into, over 1000 hours of playing online and grinding my way up the global ranking got to about the top 0.5% of registered players but there were still 50,000 people in front of me. Still played TMNF a good bunch but then kinda lost interest in the series, not sure whether it was simply due to overexposure or due to Nadeo abandoning F2P releases.

>>7690930
Option B is to download an ISO then.

>>7690960
These graphics are so damn depressing. Why did things have to stop having color?

>>7691091
Not that Anon but I think it might be the weather settings.

>>7691091
It depends on the track, but most of the game is grey. I totally agree though, the way the 00s drained colour out of games sucks.

What's the best version/way of playing virtua racing? Was just fucking about with the 32x version but it seems graphically inferior to the arcade one.

>>7691348
The switch version

>>7691389
I tried it on yuzu but it runs pretty shit despite being listed as playable, doesn't have the extra cars that are in the 32x release either.
Also a minor nitpick is the colors are slightly different.
Might give the saturn and ps2 versions a try since they apparently has even more courses/cars than the 32x one.

>>7691236
Going from Gran Turismo 3 to 4 was like witnessing a color palette holocaust

>>7691539
Colour is THE DEVIL.

>>7691463
>Also a minor nitpick is the colors are slightly different.
Was a known issue where the gamma level was fucked. They patched it and I think there's now a button combo to bring up a gamma slider.

mx 2002 is a great motocross game, made my entire childhood

I want to get into Racing games but i always finish last on tracks that have a lot of curves (like North Country on Need for Speed II for example) i press the brake button but the car becomes hard to control and is near impossible for me to stay in the middle of the road

>>7694365
NFSII sucks and has bad handling model, the later games are better

>>7694365
Set physics to wild and drift it.

>>7691463
>>7691348
It runs pretty well on Ryujinx save for some audio crackling.

>>7693563
Jokes aside white is the combination of all colors, as per the light spectrum. Black is the absence of color (and light).

>>7694398
>>7694715
This is a general thing, i want to know how to take turns without crashing and getting the last position

>>7694912
use logic

>>7694912
Don't turn and break at the same time, you'll lock the wheels and spin out. Break before turning. Stay on the outside of the turn before breaking, slow down to a speed that won't make you fly off the track, then turn into the apex (the inner edge of the turn) then accelerate as you exit.

>>7694912
Listen to >>7694925 though if you want something perhaps more interactive this is the exact thing gran turismo's license tests are there to teach the player. I would suggest GT3 or GT4 and just try and get silver on all the tests (gold is maddening) - if you can do that the basics of any racing ever made are now yours to command. Even games like wipeout follow the same principles.

>>7649770
Tempted to get this one. The gamecube one is super rare and at least 2-3x the price of the ps2

>>7693508
This has surprisingly a lot of effort put into it for a meme mod
They even included Fiat Multipla

>>7694912
NFS2 won't teach you anything, everyone who played it had issues with the janky physics and track design not suiting each other.

Sadly I don't think I can recommend a beginner friendly racing game. All of the good ones are maybe a little too tricky for beginners and all of the easy ones are quite long, repetitive and boring.

flatout 2

>>7666246
i just gave up and ended up playing F1 2018 because i got it for free from steam

>>7669880
You're not the only one, I'd say I'm in that spot. Love racing games, love cars, know facts about numbers for a lot of cars and very basic engineering stuff otherwise the tooling escapes my smooth brain at the moment.

>>7676869
Little kid me took my main plymouth cuda all the way to the end of the game, but her stiff muscle car handling betrayed me everytime on that final boss. So like a year ago I just tried in something that wants to turn and beat it easily, probably would have been the case if I realized what was happening as a kid lol.

>>7697076
If one wants to learn about racing lines flatout 2 is a terrible suggestion.

Bump

>>7698268
I was going to say, that's not really the best option if someone wants actual racing rather than banger racing.

>>7698627
Amusingly wreckfest actually is a solid choice, though for me it is a bit drifty for a deep understanding of proper racing lines it does still require proper braking.

>>7646905
Hardest NFS events
Sprint against Earl
Canyon race against Darius

There’s a 60 minute event on nfs mw black edition where you have to survive like 60 min against undercover suvs

First time trying to play a non-kart racer. Beat the Grand Prix on expert mode a couple times, what should I do next? Other games that would be similarly fun?

>>7699234
Depends if you want more ridge racer as how those games handle is extremely unique to them. Of course you can never go wrong with midnight club II or III (skip the first one).

Choro-Q 2018.

Thoughts?

>>7699258
What's so unique about them? I wish I could play Midnight Club but I'm emulating on a shitty Mac so the best I can do is Dreamcast; Gamecube if I'm lucky.

>>7699283
>What's so unique about them?
All RR games drift as if you are on rails - virtually no other game handles like that. Even the few modern "arcade inspired" games take their cues from other titles like scud race or daytona. Ridge racer is ridge racer - no other game handles like they do.

If you want kart racing the PS1has tons of them. For other games again it depends on what you want as there is a world of difference between say gran turismo and wipeout. Both are fantastic games but give two very different experiences.
