/vroom/ - ЯR: Retro Racing General Anonymous Sat Jan 1 20:17:08 2022 No.8475781 [Reply] [Original]

Welcome to The Garage, a thread where fans of racing vidya can discuss their favourite arcade, sim, kart, and any other kinds of racing games (this is /vr/, so any PC/6th gen game up to 2007 goes!). If you’re looking for something new to play or are new to the genre ask other Anons for recommendations and remember to gear up and have fun.

Remember to bump, /vr/ has been faster as of late and threads get archived much quicker now. Don't be shy: ask questions, share experiences! If anyone has ideas for community events, speak up!

Thread challenge, set by Devil Z:
>Gran Turismo 3
>Arcade Mode
>Trial Mountain
>Any A-Class car.

>What's that?
A track and game is chosen and people can challenge for times on it.

I'm doing it lads. I'm fucking doing it. 100%ed every other class, now it's big boy time.

Phantom sure makes you reassess the tracks here. Porta Kora is more fun suddenly, Stanza is still GOAT, but Mega Mall goes from easy to annoying, and P-Mar goes from fun challenge to dread inducing.

Maybe it's just SE physics fucking with me but whatever. Gonna 100% every Classic League class after this too.

This is why i don't like NFS2 among the other games. Track design was made with complete disregard for game's physics and faster cars tend to fly into the fucking space on the long straights at any elevation change, it's like they have no mass or downforce.

Using my autistic powers I have deduced there is a handling tuning setup in the PC version of need for speed high stakes that gets it reasonably close to the PSX version, though the PSX version has some additional stabilising I cannot account for during tuning. Handling speed +6% and suspension -40% (with no other tweaks) gets you there. Does however mean - much like on PSX - snowy ridge with weather is fucking brutal on traction.
