What's so good about this kind of gameplay?

>>9763121
it makes racing newfags feel good, it's alright tho

Cool skybox I might try this one.

>Smooth as butter driving with easy drifting
>Colorful and interesting locales
>Legendary music and peak perfect atmosphere
Honestly OutRun2/2006 is pretty much a peak arcade racer.

Drifting is slower than not drifting. I think there's some autistic technique requiring manual gear shifting to maintain speed while drifting which is too much effort for me

Here's at least two superior arcade racers from the same year.

>>9763308
Outrun 2006 is not an Outrun 2 port

>>9763315
Yes, it's worse.

>>9763110
Impeccable vibes. A last gasp of Y2K-era optimism.

>>9763110
>Why is Outrun 2006 that good?
Yes.

It's also worth noting that the Xbox version of OutRun 2 looks better than 2006, and PSP's 2006 has some frame dips.

>>9763121
What's so good about sim racing?

>>9763427
you race but without braking the bank nor your body, sounds like a win-win to me.

>>9763427
nothing

>>9763110
> brake drifting instead of gearbox drifting

Mediocre.

>>9763618
modern supercars are soulless, give him a shitbox and he'll soon smile

>>9763110
Pure sega arcade magic, this and F-Zero GX are god tier.

I never understood why people prefer sim racers over this, sim shit is boring as fuck

>>9763121
Unlike simshit it's not boring as fuck

>>9763127
case in point: >>9764046 >>9764047

>>9763127
>>9764053
only a total retard think outrun is a racing game

>>9764087
>gameplay revolves around going fast, passing rival supercars and getting good times
only a dumb racing newbabby would think it's not a racing game

>>9764087
>>9764098
nta but Yu Suzuki himself has said that it's not a "racing game", but is instead a "driving game". As an example, in easier difficulties you can get to a goal finish in Outrun 2006 without passing a single rival. You can still technically "racing against the clock", but it's not something you have to do if you just want to relax and drift a bit.

The difference between the two with regards to a game like Outrun is pretty pedantic though, and not worth getting upset about, so both of you should probably chill a little.

Splash Wave is the best song, by the way.

>>9764639
The original Outrun is hardly a "chill game", fuck up once and you'll not finish the game.

I got this game thanks to this thread and I have to say it's loads of fun. Thanks

>>9764639
>Splash Wave is the best song, by the way.

Hahaha yeah NO.

Magical Sound Shower is the greatest video game tune of all time. It should be engraved on a golden tablet and blasted into space on the next probe leaving the solar system, to drift between the stars as an eternal testimony to mankind's genius. When God heard Magical Sound Shower for the first time, He wept, for He knew he had finally been surpassed by His own creation.

>>9764046
>>9764047
i like realistic driving

>>9764639
>>9764731
Outrun is the one game I can't decide on which tune I like the best, it just depends on the mood

>>9764639
best song for a space harrier game

>>9763110
>racing game wity timer
I never understood the point of this. Bu default you already want to go as fast as possible.
All it does is prevent you from chilling and taking it easy when you want to.

>>9763110
It's a globetrotting fantasy racer without a hint of the modern era's neuroticism. Your they/them double amputee Forza character will never drive a Testarossa on Easter Island.

>>9765024
>Both girls are selfish bitches
>One of them buys him a car just so he can speed on public lanes

>>9764653
it's also a six minute game

Sega final legendary 2000s run

Monkey ball
Outrun
Crazy taxi
Fzero

>>9763294
yeah, from back when I played a lot I figured out later on that you need to slipstream as much as possible, if there is a car near you you can get a speed boost off of it and as long as you can keep straight you don't need to drift as much

>>9765227
And? That's just the average for aecade racers

Is the (Europe) version of the Coast to Coast game worth money?

>>9764025
yeeaaah IDK, buddy. There are 100% times you want to brake drift through switchbacks on later stages, and the driver is handling that quite well. He might be playing on PC with an edited course order, i can't tell, but that's not a basic stage. There's so little traffic he might even know how to slipstream right, it's hard to say.

>>9763127
>>9764053
So what are the superior racing games?

>>9766270
Too many to list

>>9763374
Holy shit. The RV is fast and withouth all the drifting.

>>9765049
What ancient Japanese message could the developers be trying to teach us?

>>9763294

>downshift then upshift
>too much effort

How do you tie your shoes in the morning?

>>9766270
Battle Gear 4 and F355 challenge by a long shot

>>9765024
fucking retard

>>9763121
gotta go fast

>>9766270
My question is, Are there any other colorful, smooth games like Outrun 2 & 2006. Excluding realistic sims and wacky kart games.

>>9766467
Sure, burnout games especially 3 are good for it

>>9766467
NFS Underground 1 and 2 on PC

>>9766467
>Excluding realistic sims
filtered
>wacky kart
karts are the manliest motorsport after bikes, newfag

>>9763110
why? because it was made by fun loving nerds that was designed to have fun, and not by a bunch of fucking pc signalling sjws that hates you but fuck you pay up these days

>>9766467

>>9766497
I love burnout 3 but it is not an apt comparison.
It is a frenetic game, outrun 2k6 is relaxing.

>>9766523
Well you didn't mention relaxing, just colorful and smooth.

>>9766467
Ridge Racer Type 4

>>9764731
You fool! It's Passing Breeze. Magical Sound Shower is the game's theme song to me, but Passing Breeze is my favorite.

>>9765024
Damn... Clarissa is just fine.

>>9765024
When Jennifer says she wants to go far away... I feel that.

I like the drifting and the variant scenery, but something just seems off about 06/C2C. Like theres too much space to maneuver your car and its less about dodging traffic because of how easy it is to do so

>>9763121
Nyooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom

i cant get 2006 to recognize ANY of my controllers! i'm asshurt as fuck about it!

>>9763319
2006 wasn't worse, just easier. If you could turn off slipstream it would be fine. I couldn't get far in og xbox Outrun2 but breezed through 2006. The old man missions are a great addition.
>>9763127
100% this. I had just discovered Initial D when this came out must have been 2004. Our local arcade obtained a sit-down cab and I wanted to dorifto so I punched the petals like takumi and lo and behold I was driftan like a boss, it was great. The music and atmosphere were so good. I never cared for Outrun before that, but this scratched an itch I didnt know I had, and no one asked for it, which made it special. It could never be replicated with an Outrun3.

>>9763292
/thread

>>9763110
What is the best way to play this on PC?

>>9768164
ebay or pirate
I bought a hard copy when it released. I don't think it is sold anywhere.

>>9767840
Initial D games are so janky and unrewarding. They don't get neither drifting nor driving in general right. They feel like snowboarding games but without tricks. Ideally, ip owners should've just given the Initial D license to Taito instead. Does Initial D really attract people who don't care about cars so much that they are ok with Sega Rosso's gameplay style? Maybe they're into characters and eurobeat, idk.

>>9768164
>Get game from abandonware site
>Use OutRun 2 FXT to configure and run it

Its a simple gameplay mechanic polished to a mirror sheen.

>>9769121
they are janky but I feel like they are rewarding, its just that its not as fun in single player

>>9764639
I like "Life was a Bore (Instrumental)".

>>9766467
Metropolis Street Racer

>>9768164
Several ways
- PS3 Arcade Outrun emulation through RPCS3
- Arcade emulation with Teknoparrot
- PC port with fan made patches

>>9770756
>>9769121
i disagree. I prefer arcade of sim and don't find them janky; i find they have a very deep learning curve. And i prefer them in single-player. In vs battles all you do is shove your nose up the backside of the car in front and sit there. Or have a car shoved up yours. You can't see the road, and it gets a little boring, to me.

>>9770902
Arcade on TP is prettiest by far, and that's a big part of OR2 to me. And it works best in LAN, where the PC version is dull in terms of colour and janky in terms of LAN :) It does have the FXT mod though, which ups the stakes a little with extra features like the stage editor, even if it doesn't bring back the colour.

>>9767451

OR2 C2C on PC only sees the first two controllers on your system. Keyboard works best in the menus. You might also try the FXT mod - just remember than using it to rebind your gears (which you may HAVE to do) means you can no longer gear-drift (switch down/up fast while cornering) you can only brake drift.

>>9766467
That's why OR2 is a classic. Scud Race is too frantic, Daytona has it's own feel, and in ID Zero you hare down mountain passes thick with cherry blossoms, or autumnal foliage. I'd probably pick that last if forced to, but i'll admit it's not the same thing at all.

>>9771154
over sim, that should have read.

>>9764782
all arcade games must have a timer non matter the genre, it prevent people sitting on one cab for too long

>>9766421

Trackmania United and 2

>>9772296
Trackmania is basically what every Hot Wheels game should have been.

>>9769121
initial d is alrght for racing newfriends, battle gear is kinda for people who are already into cars/driving, it's smooth/easy to drive but not as terribly unrealistic as initial d

how do you get good on driving games? iknow its the millionth time but...

>>9773036
What racing games? You only need to know what a racing line is to start off

>>9773036
buy a wheel if you don't have one, it's more fun a rewarding with the right games

>>9773036
>cornering line
>manual transmission
>using brakes for actually slowing down instead of dorifuto

>>9773092
>>9773104

ty ive read about that still need to correct thr cornering line

I have a ps2 thrustmaster but it seems light I plan on getting a recent good one with a stick/pedals but dont have modern systems where to try it

I was thinking racing in general especially arcades

>>9773127
the most important thing is realizing the limit of the car, how much you can push the car in a corner, when to break/throttle etc. Arcade racers in general are more simplified so you can push the car a lot more, depending on the game. Sim/simcade in general will give you better driving fundamentals though.
>ps2 thrustmaster
seems a bit crappy, try the ps2/ps3 compatible logitech wheels:
driving force gt or pro: good wheel and cheap, but crappy pedals
g25/g27: somewhat more expensive but much better pedals

>>9773149
>g25/g27
They don't even make them anymore so you have to buy them used. Logitech went full jew with the g29 and don't even include the shifter anymore. Still the lowest end I'd go with though. Wheels have gotten so expensive that it might be a better idea to just buy a used g27 though

>>9772296
I don't think he asked for a Hard Drivin' clone.

>>9773883
>Wheels have gotten so expensive
You get better stuff these days though, the thrustmaster t248 isn't a lot more expensive than the g29 but it's a lot better. The cheapest DD options these days are reasonable for what you get as well

>>9773883
Go the G25. Stronger, and has the shifter that can switch between gated and sequential. You don't want buttons on the wheel for arcade games anyway.

FXT does not work for me, always gives a direct3d error.
Might try the TP version

>>9769121
Taito actually snuck in Initial D references as early as Side by Side 2 - just look at the default high score names.

>>9774838
the game itself does, or adding the FXT mod does?

>>9776523
Just the fxt mod.
The game itself works fine

It kind of fucked with the atmosphere of the original game desu, One of the things lost from the 2d and early 3d eras was the ability to make graphics pop off the screen in a cartoony way while still having an otherwise low key presentation. For sega to avoid their game looking indistinguishable from a hundred other car games they needed to make the game overtly cheesy.
