OutRun. Specially OutRun 2006 Coast 2 Coast.

Outrun. Despite liking the fast paced, arcade nature of it, I wish there was a game with it's vibe, but you just cruise and chill along scenic locations.

>>9589505
fzero on snes ?

>>9589505
They're both in the middle of that pic actually, OutRun and Road Rash, though specifically arcade OutRun (any version is good) and SEGA CD Road Rash.

What's the best way to play outrun these days? Is the Sega Ages version on switch worth picking up?

>>9589607
Why not 3do Road Rash?

>>9589505
This is a long winded way of asking "what's your favourite racing game?".

What is this online obsession with granularly categorising everything and being deliberately vague? You get this a lot now with OPs who ask "is there for this?" and it's two things unrelated or something obvious.

>>9589505
SUPERHANGON or outrun

>>9589625
The 3DS remaster by M2 is pretty good. It's got the rare original version of the arcade (all different courses), two new songs and an optional 60FPS mode.

>>9589625
if you actually have a 3DS, playing the game with the stereoscopic effect is the best use you'll ever get out of that console
the port is practically perfect, with one minor setback, they didn't get the ferrari license so we're stuck a shittier car sprite

I've only beaten Crazy Cars 3 on DOS (aka Lamborghini American Challenge), I had a version on which you couldn't save for some reasons so I had to beat it all in one sitting (4+ hours), without losing all my money

as well as Rad Racers 1 and 2

I enjoyed Super Hang On the most. I think it's probably one of the most fast-paced ones and skillfully using the boost is just fun.

>>9589505
excellent choices in that image OP, every one is a banger

>>9589640
Neither.

Are these games just "hold accelerate to win?" I don't like it when I have to "figure out" how to play a racing game, I'd prefer something easy.

>>9589837
Unironically skill issue.

>>9589627
I still need to actually try 3DO. Just need time to get the roms and set everything up

>>9589505
Top Gear and Outrun. I want to give a try for the games Top Gear is based on for Amiga.

>>9590106
I played Jaguar XJ220 for SEGA CD and was pretty unimpressed. Not sure if it's any better on Amiga but it just feels like a worse OutRun to me. Road Spirits for TurboGrafx CD is in a similar category but somehow I find it slightly more fun to play.

Rad Mobile is based

>>9589528

>>9590265
It's honestly peak arcade racer. Just loading it up every so often to do a full circuit while the euro mix of Splash Wave playing just feels so good.

>>9589837
>Are these games just "hold accelerate to win?"
No, the onus is more in evading slower vehicles and releasing the gas in harder turns

>>9589505
Top Gear / Top Racer

outrun, nothing beats outrun

>>9589625
if you have a saturn, then go with the saturn version, its smooth 60fps and lets you choose if you want the jap or overseas version and you also have a remix of the original ost

>>9590289
Totally agree with you. I loved that game when it came out and last night was my first time playing it in at the very least 10 years. I loaded it on my PS2 Everdrive (pic related) and damn that game is just as fun to me as it was back then. Had an issue at first with the music not playing but some fiddling in the OPL settings took care of that. Bought the F50 then called it a night. Can't wait to unlock more stuff.

>>9589640
He's got a point. People are generally retarded parrots on here, repeating the same boring shit like "now the dust has settled"

>>9589505
1. Road Blasters
2. Chase HQ
3. Power Drift

>>9589505
F-Zero, Super Hang-On, Hang-On and OutRun are all 10/10. I can't pick just one

Rad Racer's great too, but a tier below

Outrun europa master system
amiga version is way too difficult

>>9589625
Both Out Run 3D and Ages are amazing ports. Ages builds purely upon 3D (same devs) and includes all the content from that release if you aren't interested in the 3D itself.

>>9589638
It really isn't. The "outrun clone" is a very specific type of racing game and if you LOOK at the PICTURE for more than 3 seconds you'd understand why it isn't vague at all.

>>9590394
>He's got a point, let me bring up this totally unrelated thing not happening in this thread
Thanks dude

I love Out Run so god damn much, the game balance punishes collisions a thousand times more than it punishes going slow, so instead of feeling like you're taking risks and redlining it more just feels like you're just driving and making clean passes through traffic. Enforced comfy via game design. bliss

Hang on(SMS)
Arcade version is absolute HORSESHIT with its quarter eating difficulty

>>9589638
There is a difference with the kinds of racing games where you're locked on a set path and can't ever turn around. They don't feel the same as racing games that allow you to go the wrong way.

>>9589505
Bottom row. Lotus is simply the genre's best, all three games, and CC3 was one of the not plentiful sprite scaling racers to have a good campaign mode.

>>9590578
>outrun clone
None of the games pictured are Outrun clones.

>Favorite
The great Outrun inheritor, naturally.

>>9591492
not a fan of the boost button outrun 2 did it better

>>9589505
Lotus III because random courses was a novel idea

>>9589535
>I wish there was a game with it's vibe, but you just cruise and chill along scenic locations.

check out road spirits on pc engine

its basically outrun but piss easy and very scenic (17 levels)

>>9590582
No problem, always a pleasure never a chore

>>9589505
top gear and lotus

>>9591654
Lotus III is cool but not being a superscaler arcade game brings it down.

Why?

my favorite gotta be turbo outrun, for the underratedness. i'm mesmerized by the idea of a race across the continent, f40 cabrio is beyond cool, and the games throws tons shit at you, it's the opposite of the relaxing drive (jk, game over) of the original.
outrunners perfected this game style though. and road rash series gameplay is miles ahead of anything else in the genre.
>>9589512>>9589560
this is not a game of this type. f-zero is an actual 2d racer like micro machines, super off-road and gran trak 10. we're talking about 1.5d ""racing"" games here.
>>9589624
this however is. along with outrun 2, i guess.

>>9590101
it's also available for windows, psx and saturn

>>9589837
these are "figure out the insane illogical mechanic of this particular game and then apply it with mad reflexes". gameplay isn't the fun part here, presentation is. i recommend everyone just cheat through them if you encounter any difficulty. except for road rash, road rash is cool.
for easiness, play 3d racing games. in this case, easier comes with deeper and just better, the more realistic racing game is the more close it is to other ones so more of your prior skill transfer.

>>9589505
I have only experienced super hang on and outrun so i would say those two are my favorite

>>9589505
Probably OutRun 2006. I also love Super Hang-On.
>>9589625
It is strangely enough on the 3DS if you ask me and apparently a few other people that already replied to you. The Sega Ages ports on the 3DS are all sick.

>>9589625
Sega saturn or saturn emulator (mednafen), the 3ds version is also good. I dont know about the modern versions like switch.

In the arcade, Outrun.

At home, Overlander which is that game with Mad Max type stuff. I also really liked Turbo Esprit which is more a kind of ancient Grand Theft Auto ancestor.

>>9589615
yes!
It’s just fun.

>>9593882
Amigger couldn't do both

>>9590480
Based RoadBlasters enjoyer

>>9593907 meant to link >>9589615 as an example of a 1.5d racer

>>9589505
it's probably crap, but I remember it being a very comfy game

especially when the sun set

hq and roadrash are sorta tied for first then outrun

Haven't played the others enough to know that lotus one and top gear looked good too though
