My issue with 1nsane is that i've played far too much smuggler's run and 1nsane essentially being (to me) a sim version just has it fall flat. Also reminds me of monster trucks that reflections put out.

Lead dev got depressed and stopped developing it.
Then someone ripped his game's assets to make a phone game, prompting the dev to "start working on it again out of spite".
Then the dev gave up again.

Seems unless you want to play any one of the million micro machines/mashed clones indie racing is cursed. There has been what, only 3 projects to seriously deliver? GRIP, ballisticNG (lol slipstreamGX) and Pacer? Only two of those are good.

It saddens me that racing fucking died on its feet for the PS3/360 era and has never recovered. I keep an eye on a few games on steam that look promising but as drift stage and 90's arcade racer show until they are done i'm not touching them. Plus steam's search for racing is utter shit.

Warzone is the best version to play by far - they tweaked the balance and added in more content compared to the earlier PS2 release. The fact that you unlock the du mondo in vietnam instead of the rally car makes a huge difference (seriously that is bullshit in the PS2 version).

[Anonymous No.7898096]

Fuck sake why doesn't a perfect version of high stakes exist? The PS1 version has more dynamic tracks, better sized traffic, a slightly tighter handling scheme and (imo) slightly better art. The PC version however runs much better, can run in widescreen, has a bajillion mod cars, doesn't get texture warping and has analog acceleration (along with more responsive analog steering).

One negative for the PS1 version is no snowman.

No space for 3 screens and i'm allergic to bezels in the middle of my vidya.

Retro, either 2097 or 3 depending on who you ask. I haven't played 2 too much so I can't speak for that one-
Every version of 3 has different physics, with NTSC being the one with the heaviest ships, NTSC-J being in the middle and PAL Special Edition having the floatiest ships, but it also has tracks from the first 2 games in the other versions lack.
3 is also where the series started shaping itself into "modern" Wipeout, with most teams either debuting or getting their "final" color schemes in 3, and the atmosphere getting lighter, cleaner and sleeker, a look that stuck with the series to the end, and is reflected in the OST. 1 and 2 are grittier and darker in comparison, if that's what you're into, and look a lot more 90s compared to 3.
1 is also absolutely worth playing.

2004 progression is you're a field filler car basically for the first few seasons and you grind your way up. you have to manage Chassis, Engine, pit crew, your car bodies, and develop them to be race winning equipment.

2005 is you beating ryan newman in a race and he offers you a ride in his whelen modified car, you then slowly move up the ladder to the truck, then Busch series, then to the cup series. Eventually owning your own teams across the 4 series. 2005 also introduced the hero or villain system. as well as the intimidate function which was running behind someone and instead of share drafting you intimidate and force them to make mistakes.

2006 introduced team control which lets you bounce between other cars that are part of your team but 2006 is filled with glitches and is a rushed product. 2007 is pretty much the exact same game with those issues fixed. and probably the last of the "golden EA era" of Nascar console games.

CMD was plagued - somewhat ironically - by being too much of classic carma. Some of the failings of carmageddon that were overlooked in 1996 or so because "omg, 3D!" really were not so well received when reincarnation launched. The game suffers from being somewhat grindy and the classic carma bullshit of the player and the last a.i standing driving in circles because you can't get enough speed to do any real damage to the a.i to finish them (and thus the stage) off. Plus NCG/wreckfest totally shat on reincarnation by showing off its soft body physics like two days after stainless showed off carma's damage model lol.

Yes, RR4 is the peak of Ridge Racer and 90's optimism, followed by Rage Racer with its dim and industrial "you're either first or last" feel, and Ridge Racer PSP for its downright magical graphics and wonderful recreation of previous games' levels.

[Anonymous No.7926632]

>>7926608
An unofficial port would be difficult for legal reasons. People don't clone it because if they're willing to spend the time needed to make a game, they would rather clone something they're really fond of, or pull their own spin on it. Not a lot of people had the luck to have a SR cabinet close to home.
It would also feel a bit lacking without the cabinet.

You'll get damage and slowdown when scraping walls in all of them. In BNG as long as you scrape the rear of the ship you don't get damage.
It's a minor issue, but wish there was a way to get "classic" damage.

A neGcon really is the best way to play the Wipeout games, be it via console or emulation - the Raphnet PS1 adapter supports the neGcon perfectly and works great in tandem with RetroArch with minimal setup.
Weirdly I think the supported game which plays poorest with the controller is Ridge Racer V on the PS2. Seemed very floaty to me and almost like it was just some last-minute fan service.

They're really snappy, it feels like the opposite of GT4, where every car aggressively understeers.
In TXRD2 instead you get really easy to lock brake and aggressive oversteer.
The good thing is that at a certain angle the car "locks" in place and it could hold it for the rest of the turn. Nice for drifting, really annoying if you're driving something grippier.
>>7935484
What turns me off is that I could get a Driving Force GT for 10 bucks more, but I guess it depends on what gen you prefer your vroooms to be on.
