Rollcage?

Any opinions on this EU-only PS1 racing game by the same devs?

>>8733432
wtf is that

>>8733475
Rollcage

>>8733432
Fuck, I'd completely forgotten about this game. Really fun.

>>8733541
one of the original developers has modernized it and had it free on his website. easy installation on windows 10. he also has rollcage stage 2 on there but i think it sucks

GRIP is pretty good too but lacks something

I doubt

>>8733432
As soon as I got PSX working on Retropie, this was the first game I wanted to play. Well it aged pretty badly but what an underrated game.

“My first job in the games industry was helping to make Rollcage,” says Perryman. “My last job in the games industry was helping to make Rollcage 3! Yes, Firebugs started out as Rollcage 3; however, since we wanted it to be a version of Rollcage accessible to a younger audience, it was rebranded as Firebugs.”

wtf I've never heard of this

Don't forget about Tank Racer!
>>8733565
It was also on PC

this looks ridiculous

The indisputable goat of 90s racers is CTR. PC just didn't have the heavy hitters of this genre back then.

I remember getting a copy of RollCage with a Geforce 2 graphics card. It was a pack-in game.

hello faggots

sorry but this is for real racing games with wheels

>>8733482
Bomfunk MC's (the group that did the song "Freestyler") had multiple songs on this game's soundtrack

>>8733873
Not really

>>8733565
that's not wipeout

>>8733551
There was a modern spiritual successor called Grip (not retro I know) Don't know if it had any of the original devs involved though. It's actually really good

I got Rollcage 2 for free by accident when I was a kid. Bought a second hand game from Cash Generator (can't remember what game it was) and the Rollcage Stage 2 disc was beneath the disc of the game I bought.

>>8735030
I have that too, yeah it has at least one original dev but I think two

Kneel… NOW

Its been fun guys, but ENTER...

>>8734854
yes really

>>8735390
nfs is gay, this is better

>>8735390
NFS died after Hot pursuit (4th game)

burning road on ps1.
reminds me daytona usa mixed with screamer 2 (ps game)

>>8733565
ITS A NEW LA-oh wait nevermind

FUCK OUT THE WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

>>8733990
This games fucking menu music is still stuck in my head permanently

>eham running wild

>>8733482
I love it, the last championship replaces all the weapons with speedboots, combined with the more forgiving tracks it's easily the fastest rollcage game.

>>8733636
what can i say snoybro's. we just got the best games

Utter trash for mongrels. Sega Rally's better.

>>8736506
lego racers 2 was a banger

>>8736889
I need to replay the PC version. I tried the PS2 version recently and it runs like ass. I blame the global misunderstanding of PS2's architecture by Western devs in 2000-2002 for that.

>>8736908
still runs on w10 and it can get pretty difficult on some tracks due to the absurd friction of vehicles

>>8736986
LEGO Racers 2 music and cutscenes is so nostalgic, not only for the game but what LEGO had in stores at the time. All those cool sets that will never be released again...

>>8737004
i guess the closest to lego racers 3 we got was forza 4, but i just couldn't get microsofts shit drm to work
they should really do a proper revival with lego movie graphics

>>8736889
>>8737004
Lego Racers 2 was worse than the original because they added free roam to tracks, and the controls were numb

>>8736184
close second to rollcage

>>8737078
>because they added free roam to tracks
And that's bad how? Exploring the game worlds was cool as fuck, not to mention the shortcuts.

>>8736151
PRO

>>8737080
>And that's bad how?
or was bad because of bad track design - very easy to get lost and because of controls which made it easy to run far away from the track by accident

>>8737078
>because they added free roam to tracks
that was just fun, finding secrets and stuff

>>8737093
It made the game annoying, especially for small children. I've seen reviews claiming this was just following trends in popular racing games at the time, but was a bad inclusion. I installed it for my kid and saw same issue. Switched to racers 1 and now they have fun with it

>>8737240
how small are we talking here? i doubt a 5 year old could complete the first one

>>8737253
my child is 17 but he's a bit of a noob

>>8733692
Fpbp.

>>8736103
Yep.

only if you were that gay kid who became a man child.

Must suck to have the gay kid game be much better and have more depth than the trash you play.

I had the PC version of this, I used to love this game.

damn rollcage needed a geforce 2 to run?

>damn rollcage needed a geforce 2 to run?

The GeForce 4 - 5 lines were out when I bought the thing, and the GeForce 2 was regulated as a 'budget' gamer cards'. The GeForce 4MX's are enhanced GeForce 2's with better memory management. Drakan, Rollcage and the sampler disc in my image all came with a Chaintech GeForce 2 bundle.

>damn rollcage needed a geforce 2 to run?

According to the back of the original game box,
> Minimum Requirements:
Pentium 166MHZ
16MB RAM
4MB compatible D3D card with DX6 (though, I thought this game has software rendering?)
> Recommended:
Pentium III: 233MHz
32MB RAM
8MB compatible D3D card with DX6
The Geforce 2 came with 64MB on onboard RAM and could do DX7. This was the type of game you could display at 1024x768/ 1280x1024 at max framerate (i think it is capped at 30fps) and it would wow you.

And I want to add that, when Nvidia released the GeForce 4, they had two different lines. The main one was the GeForce Ti, which are DX8 cards, and for their time 'new' architecture. Then they released the GeForce 4MX cards, which was actually a DX7 GeForce 2 with an updated memory controller and maybe a smaller fabrication process? The MX line was for the lower end market. But it also killed the value of the GeForce 2 line and made then cheaper to pick up.
