Creepiest menu tune ever made.

yeah i remember destruction derby 2
one of my favorite games of all time

Its summer, and shitpost threads and tourists are taking control.

Any cool ways to "re-experience" GT2? It's easily my favorite retro racing game, are there any worthwhile patches or something? Or should I go back to GT1?

>>7937662
YOU'VE WRECKED YOUR CAR!!!

>>7938125

>>7938227
BASED!

>>7938132
I heard GT2 plus is great

What is it that's annoying about racing games where the camera is locked to the rear bumper of the car?

>>7938132
GT2 Plus, 60FPS patch, and (if you're into it) some graphical enhancements to reduce the wobble alongside the newer bug-free widescreen patch.

>>7938838
>GT
>using external view

saw this in on the catalog earlier and looked it up:

lol

>>7937662
What are the best on Nintendo 64? Playing Top Gear Rally right now.

>>7939034
Looks like the true PSX jank experience.

>>7939086
Wave Race 64, Excitebike 64, Road Rash 64, Beetle Adventure Racing, Star Wars Episode 1: Racer, Diddy Kong Racing, F-Zero X

>>7939120
oh and 1080 Snowboarding, it's one of the best racing games on the console and still has some of the best snowboarding physics ever

>>7939120
Thanks. Wave Race is too hard for me.

>>7939086
PLAY EXTREME-G
WHAT THE FUCK R U DOIN

>>7938838
I prefer locked cameras like that. When the camera is allowed to move around because of momentum, it plays tricks on my dumbbrain and makes the car harder to control for me.

>>7938894
gt is meant to be played in 3rd view, not even sure why are you pretending it's super accurate super simulation
and anyway the hood camera in gt4 is positioned in a weird angle, you're really better using the chase cam unless you're using a driving force

>>7939196
For me, having it unlocked like in pre-GT4 games is easier because I can see where stuff is relative to corners.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_dV8XZYbC4

>>7940162
The death of games like this outside of forza horizon (which while similar has a very different focus to put it mildly) in the market saddens me.

>>7938838
The REAL issue with the camera was the FOV being too low which made it nearly impossible to gauge your braking and turning points. But of course we live in the current year and it turns out Polyphony hid a FOV option in the game all along.

>>7939209
Anon, hood camera looked weird in GT4 because it wasn't a hood camera.

>>7937662
Was not a fan of any of the DD games or early NFS games

>>7940189
Really?

playing ape escape for the first time, and it has a whole racing game built in as an unlockable. im not really a vroom fag but it's pretty fun, controlling the skis individually with the analog sticks is neat. it would be better though if it had items like a kart racer.

>>7937662
Just got into Ridge Racer 4 from the Playstation classic library, pretty sweet game. Im wondering if im at a disadvantage because I dont have analog sticks.
Also saw the NeGCon here last thread, seems like a really nice controller, perhaps it could work with the classic if I used a usb adapter and autobleem

>>7940312
You really should be using some form of analog controls.

>>7940212
how the hell have I not played that

>>7940189
have you tried dd:raw?

>>7939034
dummy who made the video couldn't drift lol
it's a great little game

>>7940431
more a case of the completely nonsensical rebranding to make it appeal to murricans

>>7940432
according to a ((e-celeb)) it worked in the case of toca 3

>>7940438
touring cars being rebranded as a completely different motorsport worked? wew

>Nobody posting the actual good shit
Need for Speed: Carbon was a masterpiece

>>7940452
It is in no way a master piece.

>>7940452
>manhole cover physics NFS
>good
You do you anon. It has it's charms.

>>7940452
Big step down from NFS MW 2005. Not a bad game but has a lot of design issues.

>>7940496
like which?
i think they simply tried to make it different. these 2 games are the most similar ones in the whole series - they likely tried to avoid that.

>>7940501
The crew mechanic, for one thing. Feels like an afterthought. I like that each crew character has a niche to use but there's no thoughtful design into how those are applied.

It almost feels like a character ability you have rather than a feature of a partner character because of how instantaneously you get effects from it.

Like the blocker. As soon as you activate it they rush ahead and block an opponent right then and there, as if they were holding back up until the moment you told them to do their job. Their AI doesn't change driving strategies to try and get into position, they just follow a scripted event that tells them to block an opponent. Way too simplistic.

>>7940548
i agree but i tend to tolerate mechanics like this, they are expected in a aaa game

For a TOY racing game, STUNT GP had a surprisingly good, even amazing OST.

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpssZI-iOM4&list=PLuert5gRcKDvehIpn620r3l7NXY0X8SHJ&index=7

>>7940556
Just don't play the PS2 version.

>>7940597
How bad is it?

>>7940556
ok little fact for ya i don't know if it is known
bootleg russian localization of this game by the infamous publishing company fargus was titled "khach tricksters" (хaчи тpюкaчи)
>хaч • (offensive, ethnic slur) commonly of any person native to the Caucasus region (Georgian, Azerbaijani, Chechen, Armenian, etc.)

>>7940609
Pretty rough and given the PC version requires nothing more than a toaster I suggest sticking to the PC version.

>>7940184
funnily enough the angle got corrected if you're playing with a convertible car

>>7940452
Based. Best NFS.

>>7940612
CHECHEN GP!?

First "Wipeout" where you could tune vehicles.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UVNCRae3OA

>>7941473
The funny part of fusion is you unlock quake waaaay too early so nobody's shields can withstand it.

Is it feasible to try to 1cc Cruis'n USA arcade or is the game too RNG based?

I'll be playing some destruction derby 2 will keep you guys updated

>>7941629
IMO if you can get through San Francisco and the Great Redwood stages you should be good.

>>7937662
FUN FACT: there are a few vocal versions of the OST as the music was done by a nobody band called Jug (and two tracks from Tuscan) and were ripped straight from their EP Direction that was essentially done just for the game.

Does it count as "almost retro " ? (Earlier (2007) and bigger racing open-world than "Forza Horizon" )

>>7943016
dude, there was a ps2 and psp ports that are even legal for this board, can you believe that? same map and features, just a different engine, and i won't say it's objectively worse aside from graphics obviously.

>>7943016
i started playing this again last year, unfortunately it's kinda light on singleplayer races but there's a mod that lets you still play online, tdu platinum also adds an absurd number of new cars, love cruising around hawaii in my nsx type-r with its silly fake snorkel

>>7943016
we don't care about whether it's retro or not

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

>>7944156
Shit port.

>>7944164
the fuck?
haven't played ps1 version much, what are the differences?

>>7944826
>Textures used for actual drivable road often blend with the textures used on the ridges at both edges of the track (ridges that severely slow down your car if you touch them, so good fucking luck nailing those apexes on gravel and snow)
>Complete and utter shit grip physics on snow stages snow stage (oh, you've been tapping the brakes for 30 miles prior to reaching a corner on snow on second gear? Here, have some guardrail for lunch anyway)
>Game doesn't detect gear shifting half the time on Special Stages for some goddamn reason. Not even dgvoodoo2 could fix it
>Sad, drab graphics compared to CMR1
Coming fresh off of the PC version of CMR 1, CMR 2 on the PC was annoying as shit. I got sick of it by the time I got to the Sweden's Stage 7 on hard difficulty. I wasn't very thrilled to say the least

>>7944942
i played cmr and cmr 2 for the first time in 2017. 1st one i found solid, with the weakest point being a bit bland environments. it would be absolute breakthrough if sega rally haven't done proper physics already. cmr 2 went a bit into arcadish deirection but overall it's absolute masterpiece. haven't aged at all. it was the best retro acquaintance in my life, 2nd being metal gear solid in 2009 which doesn't seem that late now.
>Sad, drab graphics compared to CMR1
dude, early 2000s pc graphics are peak soul.
and you can't have too little grip in a racing game. the less the better. but wasn't there less in the first one?

>>7945442
>wasn't there less in the first one?
CMR1 felt far more controllable even on the british stages. CMR2 feels like you're driving on soap, except it'll sent you careening in a straight line regardless of how hard you turn and brake unless you slow down to a crawl.

>>7940182
There is actually a secret menu in GT4 that allows you do change the FOV of the camera
https://youtu.be/0VCOT5s91g0?t=316

>>7946171
Yes, precisely what I was talking about. GT4's driving is still unbelievably shit and the camera swing is still a problem, so the game still remains unenjoyable and I keep playing GT3 and GT Concept. The great thing is that the secret menu and FOV options work in Tourist Trophy, so that game is finally "playable".

>>7946213
>GT4's driving is unbelievably shit
Not really, It's just more realistic then 2 or 3. Cars have actual weight to them and there is a much better sensation of turning radius when braking. As well as Drivetrains actually making sense. FFs and 4WD under steer a lot while FRs oversteer and slide more.

>>7938838
I would say it's because as you turn, the camera moves with your car, meaning you lose sight of the depth of a turn. Your peripheral view changes and it becomes hard to judge what angle you're at since your focal point keeps moving.

When the camera is "lazy" and doesn't swing around until you're really deep into a turn then you can keep your eye on surrounding objects and the curvature of the corner more easily.

>>7946213
>>7946230
It's more realistic (even if oversteer physics are shit), but not necessarily more fun imho.

>>7946143
maybe try using less angle when turning. i know, most games chose the perfect angle automatically when you push the sick all the way, but it's tricky to do in rally so they don't bother.

>>7946230
doesnt change the fact it has no sense of speed and is boring as all fuck

>>7940162
God the 996 is just so unappealing.
>>7946750
Even GT Sport doesn't. It's safe to say that it's not their concern. If you want a game with real cars and good sense of speed play Speed Race in NFS ProStreet and Midnight Club Los Angeles

>>7946989
>no sense of speed
Seriously?
>wind sound intensifies
>controller vibrates to the bumps in the road
>car bumps around the track

90% of the sense of speed in pro street and midnight club is dude motion blur all over the screen.

Dear Quantum Redshift poster from the last thread, yes I've played it. I like the location that's at the beach, and part of the track is over the ocean. Actually, that track might be from Powerdrome. It reminded me of Oban Star Racers.

I wonder what car(s) you actually own (in reality) , if you think the Porsche 911 Turbo (996) is "unappealing in your opinion" .

You can buy clapped out 996 for 10k or less if you want to make a really big mistake.

>>7948092
>You can buy clapped out 996 for 10k or less

But it is better not to do that unless you are a "garage MacGyver" .

Otherwise prices of parts will kill you financially (sports cars are rarely completely trouble-free even those Japanese and German).

>>7948124
Yeah, that's why I mentioned the "really big mistake" part.
>17k for a 360 front brake disk set

>>7948062
Where the hell is this coming from, dude? I don't like how it looks. If course I don't own a Porsche. Do you have ego problems?

>>7947075
Some of them are coming from a motorcycle game (whose name I can't recall).

>>7948856
I do wonder why other anon is getting so defensive as - almost by definition - /vroom/ is for the experience one does not get in real life so wanking over liking (or disliking) a given vehicle seems a waste of time.

>>7948849
This game has really good physics but also feels lonely to play.

>>7947073
Mentioned it before, but I'll always love one of the drivers on the original version being named "Richard Cranium".

Basically "dickhead"

>>7949043
Reminds me of how the early need for speed games all had driver names at odds with the game style.

>>7948849
I love the GBA version of the game.

>>7948849
I still have some of those sets around the house. Shame it seemed to come and go very quickly.

I'm looking for some opinions annons. Which of these looks better to you, Fog on? Or....

Fog off?

>>7949301
>>7949297
Fog on. It gives the buildings and the sea a soft, pleasant blue.

>>7949297
Fog on

>>7949297
>>7949301
Definitely on, it ties everything together and it's not overdone.

What are the must play PS1 racers?

>>7950240
depends what you want

>>7950246
as long as it isn't leaning too much into sim, i'm probably interested.

>>7950248
Well Gran turismo 1 and 2 lean toward sim but are more arcadey with the physics. Arcade mode also dumbs down the physics and makes it more arcadey

Rage Racer is a solid Ridge Racer game, as well as Ridge Racer Type 4.

Need for speed High stakes on PS1 has somewhat of a cult following and I personally prefer it to the PC version.

There's also Driver 1 and 2, they aren't racing or sim but more car chase games. Cars aren't sim at all but drive with a ton of weight and sliding to them.

chill, tourist

>>7950240
To add to what everyone else mentioned, Rollcage, Touge Max and Racing Lagoon, if you can stand moonrunes. It's very much worth it. And seconding Wipeout, of course.
The F1 games are also somewhat interesting, if you're into it. Pretty fun.

Oh and give Rc de Go! and N-Gen Racing a shot too. Rc is obviously about RC cars, while N-Gen is a plane racing game with tons of upgradeable fighters. Really novel.

>>7950539
what's the 'n' stand for?

>>7937662
I'll never understand why they dropped the ball so hard with its sequel, Destruction Derby Raw, 2 felt strictly better and more polished.

>>7940212
Ape Escape's 3 "mini"-games were probably the best unlocks ever in platformer games, especially since, unlike the main game, they could be played in multiplayer.

>>7940340
It's also surprisingly deep, when you managed to keep both skis in the same angle (they just had to be slightly inwards) the back mounted thrusters activated and gave you extra speed, up to a blue flame if you were really good.

>>7950553
DDRaw is a different studio. Reflections was busy with Driver.

>>7950553
>I'll never understand why they dropped the ball so hard with its sequel, Destruction Derby Raw, 2 felt strictly better and more polished.
I can't really agree there, but then again I played RAW before I played 2. RAW is definitely a lot "grittier" than 2. Track designs were amazing, always loved them.

>>7950660
This, it was Studio33 who did the last two DD games which are such polar opposites in style I'm amazed they were made by the same company.

The dub version features the diablo thus your opinion is invalid. The diablo reigns as the god-king of cool super card. Yes, even the mclaren F1 lays before it.

>>7957828
I can't customize them to look like RR cars so they are soulless.

At least as soon as you reduce the twitchy steering sensitivity and make the suspension lower and stiffer so the car stops flipping so much. Also I was dumbfounded to discover that it has a 16:9 mode, mind you it came out in 1999. How many other PS1 games even had that, much less this early?

The complaint is not that there's a challenge, it's that I was forced to use a car I don't want to drive to beat it.
That webm I posted is me beating class A's with a class C (with a self-imposed challenge on top of that) when I should really be driving a Maclaren F1, and it was fun, but the later races require speed that the class C cars don't have. It's not really a difficult game, it just doesn't let you drive what you want from start to end.

>>7961650
>It's not really a difficult game, it just doesn't let you drive what you want from start to end.

How do I play Ridge Racer Type 4? I can't get the mechanics down. I've found that I prefer drift to grip, but I still suck ass and I can't find any resources to get better.

>>7963185
>How do I play Ridge Racer Type 4?
You can drift by releasing the gas as you're turning into a corner, then pressing it again. You can also drift by tapping the brake as you turn. While drifting, you have to turn in the opposite direction to straighten the car again. Don't worry too much about setting up the drift, the cars drift around the corners like they're on rails.

>>7962821
>insufferable simdads took over
I hate that crowd so, so fucking much. Their entire modus operandi is to develop a cult following to a single sim game and then do whatever they can to ensure nobody else plays any other game AND get violently angry when flaws in their game of choice are highlighted. iRacing is the prime example - when even professional racing drivers are saying your tyre physics sucks doubling down and saying they don't know what they are on about is not the right move.

>>7963185
Baby's first drift:
>pick grip type car
>turn into corner at max speed
>still steering, let go of acceleration just for a brief second
>car should turn sharply (tire screech audible cue)
>get back on acceleration sooner than later as you exit out of the corner

>>7961650
You can't even construct a consistent rebuttal, its all over the place.

>>7939034
ahaha I get it

>>7962307
its also for gay furries

>>7963185
To add to what the other anons said, you can also downshift. Letting go of the gas and downshifting usually gets you drifting.

>>7961515
Oh right. I don't know my Sega Rally that well so I assumed 2006 was just a different market's name for Revo.

Wave Race 64, Top Gear Rally 1 and 2, F-Zero X, F1 World Grand Prix 2, Cruis'n World (idc what people say it's just a lot of fun), Ridge Racer 64 (a lot of people tend to forget about this, idk why. The sense of speed in this one is top tier), Monaco GP Racing Simulation 2 (sucks that it's unlicensed), Wipeout 64 (also check out Aero Gauge), Hydro Thunder, Mario Kart 64 and Diddy Kong Racing

Game not hard if I buy car with enough vroom.
Cars I like to use don't have enough vroom.
Is that simple enough for you?

On 'Shooting Hoops' I can't get traction back after my drift. It's way less forgiving than the slower cars. Do I lay off the gas after I initiate the drift & while I'm straightening out? Do I hit the gas after I get traction back?

>Shooting Hoops
Shooting Hoops is a speed track, you're not supposed to drift there and it's not necessary either. Trust your machine's cornering rate, cut through the apexes and don't let go of the gas.

Is there a good resource for learning the fundamentals of racing vidya or racing in general? I don't know a lot of these concepts that would seem like common sense to /vroom/. I'm racing/driving illiterate, but I want to learn.

When approaching a corner, the general rule is to
1) Slow down a little
2) Stay on the side of the track opposite to the corner
3) Turn into the corner as close to the inner side (apex) as you can
4) Accelerate as you make it past the apex, keeping your car as straight as possible
Apexing in Ridge Racer isn't exactly as listed here, compared to over racing games, since you can drift around every corner. In Shooting Hoops, however, you can do it without slowing down, braking, or drifting.

Driver 67 is a coach and does racing as well. Probably the best free guide available. If you want a book that you can flip through, Ultimate Speed Secrets has been a go to for ages in the pro and amateur rings.

A lot of stuff you would do in other vidya wouldn't apply in Ridge Racer or viceversa. Of course you can apply some basic cornering to it.
Unironically play Gran Turismo. 2 (PAL at least) came with a thick booklet explaining everything relevant and the license tests, annoying as they are can usually teach you anything you'd need for single player racing vidya.

I played with a translated guide and I can't speak moonrunes to save my life. Never knew it had stuff like this in the dialogue, pretty cool anon

>a thick booklet explaining everything relevant and the license tests
There is also extensive help text available in game explaining driving techniques, how engine parts work and history on both vehicles and manufacturers. GT2 has a library's worth of text hidden behind a couple menus.

>>7964408
think about lines, think about optimal speed into and out of corners, learn Scandinavian flick, think about brake use.

ur ready
