- Did you know Burnout was inspired by a Japanese arcade racer from the late 90s, and its subsequent sequels. However these games are not as innocent as they look.. むしろ面白かった.

Pin of shame dude
the most shit comment ever
I have played all three games in the series. Thrill Drive 3 has a haptic seatbelt feature that you wear before playing that literally strangles you when you get into a crash.
What does it do?
@@l3wismoreman9227 exactly as I described it, it tightens up around your chest when you crash. Simulating the feeling of getting thrown forward in a head on collision.
@@GTChucker86 oh ok got it but doesn’t it hurt I’m mean you said it is used to simulate the feeling of being in a car crash?
@@l3wismoreman9227 nah it doesnt pull that hard, just a moderate tug at best.
Although they did have stickers on the seat that said if you are under 160cm (5'2feet) they advise you not to use the seatbelt in risk of strangulation.
yup the 3rd one have seatbelt
Fun fact : Burnout 1 actually has a canceled Japanese version under the name "Heaven's drive", which goes even more to show its inspiration. It was canned after the deal didn't went through with Sega (not Konami oddly). The Japanese build was actually found last year and it can be downloaded from The Hidden Palace.
Also Thrill Drive 3 actually ran on a retail PS2, Konami only gave it a custom BIOS and a few tweaks to support dongle protection and JVS.
wasn't Sega supposed to publish it as Grand Heat in Japan?
Good 'ol Konami Python
@@dogey8831grand heat was after heaven's drive was canceled
As far as I can see, the original series is pretty much one whole PSA on driver safety. Hell, even the third game has something about how much damage you would've caused as well as how long your license would've been suspended in the real world.
we should do this more often in real life then :p
So Thrill Drive 1 is intended to be a deconstruction of racing games despite being an arcade game?
@@makmakg242 wow so its literally burnout evangelion
@@d9zirableSo Star Wars KOTOR 2 is also Star Wars Evangelion?
I like how Burnout is the complete opposite of it lol
If you want to pick the other locations, you have to calibrate the steering in the game's Test Menu. Trust me, it fixes the problem.
will do
Thrill drive: *you crashed, you killed people...*
Burnout: WOW YOU TOTALLY CRASHED, YOU KILLED PEOPLE, KEEP IT UP, ALSO HERE'S THE BEST POP PUNK MUSIC MONEY CAN LICENSE!
Oh my god, you just unlocked a memory i've forgotten about for years, I remember playing Thrill Drive 3 in the arcades and my god that game was loud, the speakers were at the headrest of your seat and they were always at full volume, so everytime I crash, the screams go directly into my ears, still haunts me today
makes sense that they were inspired by this
if you go back and play the first burnout it is basically a polished version of this with a toned down brutality
the panic music kiccking in after a certain amount of crashes on a track creeped me out as a kid
inspired by what? I can't fucking hear shit
This game might be the perfect example of "horror thriller racing game". This game looks outdated and even cringe now, but if we look at this game through the eyes of a gamer in 1998, maybe this is a game with the scariest visual effects in a racing game.
I played this in the UK when I was a kid in about 2002/2003 and it was weird how unsettling a racing game could be. Been trying to remember what it was called for years until I came across it again just tonight. Would love to play it again.
Reddit tier comment
Never heard of this, thanks for the video. Your voice is WAY too quiet though. Even just rebalancing the audio in editing would go a long way but I'd also recommend editing the audio separately
thought it was just my phone
Can't believe you found my childhood at first I thought this just normal arcade racing than BAM suffice to say I never get close to the machine of this game ever again
Haha that's an interesting story!
For nearly 20 years I've been trying to remember what this game was called. I knew as soon as I saw that little red corsa I finally come across it again. I remember playing it in arcades back in the day and being unsettled by it. With it's music and the faces and screams that would appear after crashing. Would love to play it again.
For me it was the yellow Barchetta and the bus. I used to love this game
What game is it
@@And-War Thrill Drive
Same bro, I've been finding this game for years. I never knew the name of the game (Becuase it was in Japanese) until this Chad uploaded the video.
Funnily enough Thrill Drive started how it did and eventually turned into Burnout 3 with checkpoints by the 3rd game, except you could also drive as a Rubby Ducky being called Ducky by the cops. Hey TD4 even has powerups and absolutely NOTHING unsettling about it.
They do have a sense of humour as it seems
I played this on an arcade machine for a couple minutes when I was a little kid on vacation and it totally stuck with me. It was unlike anything I had seen at that time at home on the PS1, until Burnout came out years later on the PS2. It bugged me for more than 20 years until I found a random comment on TH-cam that referenced this game, it was like a life long mystery was finally solved. I'm glad more people are talking about this, the crash physics and graphics definitely seem like they were ahead of their time and the influence this had on Burnout is undoubtable.
I always found interesting the apparently random car selection, I mean, a Fiat Barchetta, Opel Corsa Swing and Ford Mustang to name a few, it's like the developer used RNG or something. Not to mention the bus, the truck and everything else.
can Alex Ward come up with literally anything original...
Would really love a modern game like this. Like a realistic horror racing game full of unsettling sounds and disturbing imagery
Yeah hasn't been done, aside from here sorta, imagine seeing bloody ragdolls just flying out of cars
There is one, it's first person though, let me find it
It's called Dead End Road, here's some gameplay th-cam.com/video/0XOtk99yzPQ/w-d-xo.html
Tbh this is how i see racing games in anyway, the realistic graphics gives me a PTSD of Battlefield 3 & 4 instead
i just really wish racing games had horror vibes, deep story line and eventually not to be very realistic cuz idk why triple A games nowadays kept pursuing having real life graphics
@@true_neutral3378you ever find it?
Thrill Drive Crazy Streets:*cricket noise*
Ahh the game that traumatized me back when i was like 5, avoided it at all cost whenever i was in Arcades.
Now that you mention it, this is the game that is most similar to the first burnout, the happy music at the beginning and the dramatic one after the crash was something great, I don't know why they removed it when burnout 2 arrived.
Man this resurfaced memories of me getting jump scared by that damn scream in the arcades. They were so loud even amongst other machines.
This is an excellent case of deconstruction of the street racing genre so common in games because it shows the very real consequences of street racing in a busy environment of the city.
This was at my local Arcade in Italy. Loved it.
I got to know this game through some really obscure reference made in another Konami game lol
It's from Busou Shinki Battle Masters - One of the character specific special move is called "Thrill Drive" and it involves ramming the opponent in vehicle form
The drastic change in tone would explain why Burnout 1's music turns a LOT more dramatic after you crash... three times, if I remember correctly.
I always found the OST shift to be a bit unsettling, as a kid. Now I know why they did that.
Man I remember running into one of these arcade machines and had a blast, never knew what it was called, thanks!
22 years ago I got a game called "Midtown Madness" bundled with a new PC. That's what this reminds me of. Very similar game.
If im not mistaken they came out the same year
Midtown Madness was my first racing game. Fun to play and the reason why I enjoyed Burnout mechanics.
Midtown Madness was the GOAT, all my friends and relative had that amongst some other classics.
Whenever I visited Japan I would play this game at the arcade. However it was also recently I discovered the English name of the game.
Interesting!
I play this in 2000 , each crash was scary asf. Scream was loud asf in the booth
OMG I've been searching for this racing series for years. I played it on arcade in early 2000s during holidays in Italy. It was always a hidden gem for me. For years I was searching for this as some game similar to Burnout. Well done TH-cam algorithm
Welp, this definitely isn't unsettling with the videos that I keep seeing of young people driving cars real fast, and the apparent news of that phenomenon having the outcome of crashes. No, not at all.
Being an arcade enthusiast it's probably obvious I'd mention this but, emulating this series won't do it justice since sitting in a real cabinet really is a special experience with this game. I shall never forget those screams..
If anyone wants to see more gameplay I recommend the channel CrazyUniform88. I love watching his arcade gameplay videos and he loves to play the Thrill Drive games regularly.
don't know if it was mentioned in the comments but the location test version before release actually had the ability to run over civilians to somewhat gruesome effects. the feature was removed as a konami developer at the time when asked about it, said "we didn't want any controversy" or something along those lines.
Hopefully that version leaks online if it hasn't already
I love how the Japanese always enjoy lesser-known cars in video games.
Man, this (and HOTD2) was my shit back when arcades are the top. I still remember completing all race courses and I hated the night level because it's kinda tight and there are cliffs that you can fall to. What I don't like in this game is when you got into an accident it will show a cutscene of how you crashed your car and it takes a lot of your time and wasted because of it. To be honest, I never knew the name of the arcade game because it was in Japanese until now.
Great video man! Keep up the good work!
I was doubting whether I should subscribe to you but after 3.00 instant subscribed
The game tells a message. That driver always say "oh i got this or im good driver on the road". Having a car is like having a loaded gun. Once you crash with someone you will die or the person in the crash will die as well
Learn to actually drive, and wear a damned seat belt.
@@dividedstatesofamerica2520 not responding to no pic account
I remember the second game as a kid
I never played it, I was too scared pissing myself watching someone else play it while I hear the screams play
Man I’ve tried for actual years to get these games running and I never have. Super cool games and you can plainly see how they influenced burnout.
Played the arcade when i was a kid,you unlocked me a memory !
Your videos are actually pretty cool, you deserve more subs!!
Thanks, that means a lot!
Finally someone made a video about Thrill Drive!
I remember playing this game in my childhood. Always picked the tanker truck because back then I have a tanker truck obsession for some reason
i had to wear 2 headphones to hear what you said in the video (at the start atleast)
You have all my favourite game franchises aaaa!
I remember when I was in Japan, I'm pretty sure I saw Thrill Drive 3 in an arcade I went to. Since I can't read Japanese though I couldn't read the name, but it looked interesting
Wow the audio is so low i thought it was a ASMR
I remember playing these as a kid. I really thought I was just misremebering these games' existence until I saw this video. Wow.
I don't really care for Burnout games past the first, but I really like Konami games and enjoyed the first one, so this looks like my kind of thing.
Good video, I liked and subbed ,keep it up
Thanks man!
I vaguely remember playing this on breaks while working at a service station for a brief period of time. It was 20 years ago but i do recall there being 2 machines & either a 2 player option or me & one or two colleagues would race at the same time to see who could get further. I was also fairly competent on PS1 racing games at the time & remember this feeling simultaneousy janky & brutally unforgiving with it's physics.
I've just come across it again after about 20 years of trying to remember what it was called. Used to love playing it in the arcades because it stood out from the rest with how unsettling it was.
@@M_1995_ Funny how a random thumbnail can spark a lttle nostalgia trip lol :)
@crimsonkate8241 Definitly, would love to play this again but I doubt any arcade in the UK would still have it. It's a relic at this point.
@@M_1995_ Yeah, you'd need the skills & set up to run it through an emulator or something which is beyond my knowledge. Would be interesting though :)
"Your IQ is increasing" 💀
I remember magazines at the time said Burnout 1’s original title was “Shiny red car”, and that outrun was a big influence.
But for sure this looks VERY similar to the first game.
I'd recommend investing in a pop filter.
Live Leak sim
XD
truly the Spec ops: the Line of arcade racers
I thought my volume settings were bad
*”YOUR IQ IS INCREASING”*
Ok you got me, that was pretty unsettling
Wow! Burnout was inspired by this game.
Wow, i never even heard about this series.
YOOOO I used to see this in arcades in my country all the time, it effing shook me as a kid hearing the shit that comes out of the arcade machine.
I reminded playing this in 2010 in a mall that no longer exists as of 2013...
I got Good Driver but i ran out of time
I used to love playing thrill drive as the bus in the arcade. The first time I hit something it frightened me silly! You get scored at the end for your safe driving. I also played the sequel in the arcade. I never saw the third one though.
I think damage model was ahead of its time before grid in 2008 and of course burnout games especially burnout paradise with over the top slow mo deformation and today beamng drive
Well, I must say that a while back I didn't know this existed until recently. I would consider this arcade racer to be so bad, it's actually good. I just wish we had this at the D&B's in the States though.
Going to page 2 of Google is a Thrill Ride in it's own right.
This game reminds me of Ridge racer revolution, especially with the part where you enter your name.
For this game I believe,
After you finish the race and the race time is ranked on the leaderboard, it will show up as "Congratulations. You are a Thrill Driver" when entering your name.
Running out of time or finishing 4th and the cost of state will be ranked on the bad driver leaderboard.
While in Burnout, both the race time and cost of state will be added after the race.
Other features in 2 and 3:
2 shows up the cost of state on the hud while 3 features the infraction system, meaning that how long your driver's license will get suspended, or you'll pass without making infractions.
i remember seeing a Arcade Machine With Thrill Drive 2 around 2004, in Portugal
Why does your audio gets quiter and quiter as the video went on
you don't want to mentioned burnout 3 crash + burn / see you in hell?
I thought that topic has been pretty widely covered already so there wasn't much for it to be included
lmao this arcade machine spooked me as a kid
ahhh I wish I could go back to it as a much more decent driver now haha
Cool video 👍
Man... Konami could have had something going. Imagine Thrill Drive's realistic crashing combined with Enthusia Professional Racing's driving physics
There's apparently a 4th game, but not even the Wiki has info. Lost game?
Lost Media for sure
Not quite. I've seen footage of it. Though it seems more like a generic arcade racer with powerups. Someone allegedly got a board for it and is working on trying to dump it.
It's known as Crazy Streets Thrill Drive
Sadly, both Thrill Drive 2 & 4 are unplayable without real arcade hardware. Thrill Drive one is playable on MAME*
*0.144 only
Cool content. I would say though that the music is louder than you and i cant hear at times
I recall playing Thrill Drive with dad in the Philippines. That was basically Initial D or Maximum Tune but with CRASHES!!!
A v70 in a videogame is so insane
This has to be the first game I've seen with a 1st gen Volvo V70 as a drivable car.
someone should use the drive bmg engine and make an unsettling arcade racer like this
how did you play this? on mame or on a actual arcade?
if you played it on mame how did you get it to run?
It booted up just fine for me after i placed the game files in the roms folder on MAME
i swear i played this somewhere as a child, but it's only a dark...feverish...half-memory. cute video :)
No way, an export mustang in a game
This sounds like a creepypasta game
Interesting to note! You need a better mic, but otherwise good content :)
i think i played one of these games in the late 90s or early 2000s in an arcade. it was really fun.
No wonder Burnout more or less took humans out of the equation
I've played a lot of Thrill Drive 2 and I loved that game, other games in the series... Not as much but they are good
Now that I'm done watching your video, I can turn my volume back down from more than three times what I normally set it to. You should work on that.
my man you need a pop filter, other than that great video. Never heard of this game before.
What music are you using while you’re showing the gameplay?
Tokyo Xtreme Racer OST - Alpine Glow
"you should not have a license" lol
How did you capture this? Did you hook up to an actual arcade machine with a capture card?
Sadly no, the arcade machines are quite hard to come by these days especially in Europe, the footage here was captured on an emulator.
funny thing is that, the sky went dark on your first crash :v
Thrill Drive
i remember playing it once
There's also the Runabout games. The first one came out in 1997, so a year before this.
Wow, thats even more obsure!
@@eurikadude Yeah, maybe. I had Runabout 3 Neo Age when I was a kid. Pretty fun game tbh, but the graphics were really dated. Almost looked like a PS1 game.
What was the music use in this video?
Burnout 3 OST - Series Unlock theme
Tokyo Xtreme Racer OST - Alpine glow
Thrill Drive 2 OST - Menu Theme
Thrill Drive OST - Results
@@eurikadude much thanks!
I knew i wasnt crazy! I played this game in an arcade once and the machine never appeared again
