Racing thread

[Anonymous No.6783467]

Welcome to The Garage, a racing thread where fans of racing vidya can discuss their favorite arcade, sim, and kart racing games. 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.

He's right. Like this game, which was nothing but a stopgap between Burnout Revenge and Burnout Paradise, not even made by Criterion, turned out to be a fun game. People whined about the lack of a Crash Mode but personally I enjoy Burnout for its racing more than the crashing anyway.

I was in a supermarket about 16 years ago (I think I was about 12?) and was deciding between two games: the first Burnout and pic related.

DD & DD Raw were the best of the four. DD2 I found too fast and DD Arenas is not a DD franchise game. It's a good game but it's not in the same gritty vein as the first three... which is crazy considering Studio 33 developed both Raw & Arenas.

Thanks for the tips, I got it to work well enough somehow.
I was already using the modern patch with the nglide thrash driver, tried dgvoodoo and it looked fine but was very slow in menus and kept crashing when returning to menu, unless the in-game resolution was 640x480.
What ended up working was the nglide thrash driver, setting the type to d3d in thrash.ini and then running it with DXVK.
Should've mentioned that I'm on Linux which might be the reason for extra headache, although I've also had this on one windows system.

Yes. It has a very industrial theme and has an actual campaign/career/championship mode.
