- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- It's a real blast from the past. Developers Lucky Mountain Games and Sumo Digital have crafted a fine tribute to Sega's best racers of the 90s. You can catch flashes of Outrun and Virtua Racing, all blended into a modernised arcade racer at 60fps. Flat shaded textures and low polygon models are the order of the day - as John and Tom discuss.

I'm a little surprised they didn't mention Horizon Chase Turbo, which nailed this sort of 90s throwback flat-poly aesthetic a few years ago.
Yes that and Formula Retro Racing. Both are excellent.
Horizon is more akin to Top Gear, a SNES Game. This one is more like Daytona USA
@@projectikaruga you mean virtua racing
Oooh no!!
@@TrevorJones1 No Virtua Racing is a 3D racer in terms of how it plays, HCT is like Outrun where you "strafe" left and right on a track.
"We just need some more Ridge Racer."
I respect this man.
I can't believe I loved Ridge Racer for ps1 as a kid. It literally had one track. One fucking track!? But damn I loved that shit. And the really long hard process of unlocking the secret black car. It'd turn up midrace sometimes and you had to beat it in the race despite it having maxed out stats for speed, acceleration, handling, all of it. I managed to do it once I think. It was like 25 years ago. But I think I managed it. Might have been with my Xploder cheat device though (like a game genie/game shark)
Today racing games should have like 20 tracks minimum. Even mario kart 8 deluxe on switch is really lacking with content. It doesn't even have a story mode. It's such a lazy attempt at a game. But yeah these days, shouldn't every racing game come with 100+ tracks? We have the hard drive space now, not limited by CD or dvd or even blu Ray size capacity. Yet even today, you see premium AAA racing games with like 10 tracks and that's it, and no story mode. All of it. Shameful and lazy. Ridge Racer I can excuse because it was all about the spectacle of how pretty and 3D it was. But not racing games of today. At least Ridge Racer was corrected, with Type 4 which low and behold had more than 1 track. I know, right? But yeah despite stuff like the huge open worlds of breath of the wild and GTA 5, there's not much that's a similar amount of content but for racing games. You know?
The reason the gran turismo games were so good was because of the insane amount of content. Gran turismo 2 even came on 2 discs. All I want is a gran turismo style game for the switch, with the big and involved story mode and licenses you have to get and different types of cars like F1 and stock cars and touring cars and rally cars etc. GRID autosport is somewhat like that but really by comparison is a very cheap imitation, it's lacking in actual content.
@@duffman18 I’d much rather have 20 finely tuned and fun tracks than 100+ average at best tracks in my games, it sucks that racing games take a bit of a back seat. I feel a lot of racing games nowadays are more reliant on tight gameplay and refined courses rather than loads of content with an alright driving model, games like Mario Kart are so popular due to mass appeal with the refined gameplay which is vastly replay-able due to how varied each race can be.
I want Ridge Racer back so much though, I still regularly play Ridge Racer 1, 2 and R4 on my PSP.
@@mookid2223 i know exactly what u mean mookid, i played the hell out of Ridge Racer 4, i remember the yellow casing it came in, it was a two disc game back in 98, or 99,.........sure miss ridge racer, especially RR4, when i saw Hot Shot, it just brought back fond memories of Ridge4, now i'm playing the crap out of Hot Shot, taking some time off from playing destiny2, but what a great and fun game to get away from all the looters and shooters game types every once awhile, really enjoying HSR🏎🏎🏎👍
RIDGE RACER TYPE 4 NEEDS A REMASTER
Riiidge Raceeeerrrrr!
Textureless 3D graphics look so good in high resolutions and framerates.
Imagine a Starfox game with the SNES super fx aesthetics on today's systems 🥵

True, amazing, love it 😍
SEGA should put out their classic arcade racers that never saw console ports. Where is Scud Race/SEGA Super GT?
Sega super gt would be amazing 👍👍
I would kill for Model 2 and Model 3 collections
@@Orochi_001 Well, with their new standalone mini arcade cabinet, maybe Sega will be more willing to release packs of classic arcade games in the future. There are plenty of arcade games Sega made which never got faithful home ports.

Sega needs to bring back sega rally
Game Over YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
I remember how "WTF AMAZING" that was when it first came out on, what was it, xbox 360? With the terrain deformation in the mud, snow and sand. That was the most insane thing i ever saw in a racing game that time LOL.
Agree SEGA > xbox
Dreamcast II /flex
Sega Rally for all consoles and Virtua Cop for VR!
I just wanna play Outrun 2 now.
graphics would hold up now if it wasn't so low res in that game lol looks rather good tbh just pixelated
Horizon Chase Turbo has you covered.
@@battyflaps5410 its stil visually impressive. Was one of the best looking Xbox games to show off to friends after class.
Word. Im still longing for it
Outrun2006 is a free download on abandonware, practically the same game, works well with a wheel and pedals, you’ll need a PC though
edit: it also has outrun 2 within the game!
SEGA needs do port Daytona USA 2 to consoles
Sidinei Rossi Filho Yes!
cries in F Zero
Sega needs to port Daytona USA to current gen consoles. Their likely to be compatible with next gen unlike the 7th Gen (360 Daytona USA isnt in the XBO compat list I believe).
And yeah 2 too I guess.
@@kicapanmanis1060 Daytona USA is indeed compatible so it can be played on Xbox One, and Xbox Series as well. I regularly play it.
Daytona USA 2, Scud Race, Sega Rally 2, OutRun 2.
I nearly spit out my coffee with the opener “2020 is a great year...”
it is to me. Cause money's never been less of a problem to me before.
It's an "ok'ish" year for me.
Wearing a mask is a little bit annoying but it's not a problem overall.
-for nostalgia and escapism lmao
for those who survived it maybe
We need more franchises resurrected from the past! How about an updated golden axe ala SOR4 style?
Honestly, I think that if they want to reboot Golden Axe, they should do it in a God of War style. But Sega will never spend the money for this.
Gameplay wise, Golden Axe was cool at the time, but unlike Streets of Rage, I don't think it would translate as well.
Dayyyyytonnnnnnaaaaaa!
@@phoenixzappa7366 For the arcades, maybe. A new Sega racing game would be cool. The problem is that in many countries, the arcade industry has been in decline over the last two decades because gaming became more mainstream. So the arcade departments need to make a game that's actually playable for a longer time at home.
@Dirty Pixels I loved that series indeed. Personally, I also liked the original style of Need for Speed. Beautiful street tracks and cool standard cars with no tuning.
How about an official home release of revenge of death adder we still haven’t gotten
** Hey everyone ** , I'm Jason! I had the pleasure of producing 12 songs for the soundtrack on __ Hotshot Racing! __ I grew up in the arcades in the '80s and '90s and to be able to really put that inspiration into the music was a dream come true for me. I even went as far as to use gear from the late '80s and early '90s for authentic sounds that would have been used on video game OST's back then. It's for sure a hybrid OST.
I am SO happy to see everyone enjoying it. I began writing music for Hotshot in 2016, so this is a LONG time coming for everyone at SUMO, Lucky Mountain, and Curve! I hope to see you all on the track online!!
Should've used 3D polygonal particles for that tyre dirt debris like Sega rally
I was obsessed with Sega Rally but the Saturn version so I never knew this haha
@@halfling_barista my mistake, it's the 2nd Sega rally.
@@cocobos the funny thing is on the Dreamcast, if you turned that effect off with a code you can get a solid 60 fps.
Sega needs to rerelease Outrun HD...
06' Coast 2 Coast was legendary!
THIS
I digitised a copy of Coast 2 Coast which fortunately still works flawlessly on Windows 10, that's really the best option right now.
Outrun 2 with bonus Daytona 2 and Scud Race tracks
Unfortunately since Outrun 2 and 2006 used actual Ferraris, they would have to keep paying Ferrari to use their cars in the game. That's also why you don't see Sega Rally Revo around either which is a rotten shame! These games are some of the best racing games ever made and they definitely deserve re-releases but Sega would probably lose money to make them legal to sell again.
This game is so much fun. Really dig the subtle HD rumble when slipstreaming on the Switch.
How did I completely miss this game's existence for 2+ years!?
This looks awesome, it's the exact game I've been looking for to scratch my burnout/arcade racer itch!
This is on game pass if anyone wants to play it there
oh damn... I'm downloading it right away!
the gloomy kid woohoo!. Cheers I was just gonna buy it. Might as well download it for free 🍺😉👍
I was gonna type "I'm buying this", but seems like i won't have to, then !
But not currently on Game Pass PC:(
This looks terrible compared to outrun 2
The dev clearly has love for Gran Turismo;
Pennzoil Nismo
Castrol Mugen NSX
Desno Sard Supra
Just a few liveries I noticed.
Man why they can't remaster Outrun Coast 2 Coast...
lack of ferrari license
@@nattila7713 can they just modify the car to look different?
@@CubamusPrime they could. would they still look ok? look at switch version of outrun ages or outrun on ps2 ages...
@@CubamusPrime They could. They need to get the developers who made Horizon Chase to show them how to make the cars look almost just like the real thing without infringing on copyright. Either that or get Criterion to show them. They've been making their Burnout games with good looking fake cars for 2 console generations.
@@OldsXCool Sadly, Sega seems to believe the Ferrari license is integral to the OutRun experience. It does add something - the red F40 is genuinely iconic as the classic OutRun car - but I'm sure most people would happily accept driving a lookalike "Farrago F1-11" if that's what it took to get OutRun 2 / C2C back on sale for current systems.
4k on xbox one x and also available on gamepass!
It damn well ought to be 4k on the X lol
@@zybch It is rock solid fast too though lol. Insanely fast at times.
Just noticed this! Downloading now 👍
I had the luck to play the beta some weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I still hope for Nicalis's 90's Arcade Racer...
oh! its Tom its been ages , awesome to see his around
2 weeks. Ages.
Sナツ Yep, always enjoy his videos. No PCMR nonsense or fanboying to a platform. He sounds like a normal dude who enjoys games.
@@mbsfaridi A normal dude who enjoys games and knows what he is talking about*
Yeah, for some reason we don't see him a lot lately. I also enjoy his vids.
Maverick Hunter K Indeed.
Love this racers, it's proper old school. So much fun on local co-op. We need more games like this banging gameplay. 👍🏾
I f**king love you guys. It is so good that you cover such games. Can you guys do a colab on older racing titles ? Maybe like a DF Retro for old NFS and Test Drive (90s and early 2000s)?
Come on, what we've all been wanting for 20 years is Scud Race... 😔😭
*@Sega Lord X*
Where you at?!
Thanks for reminding Ridge Racer from the Ps1! Loved them all RR, RRR, Rage R and type 4... Would be great to see them back with some graphical/playable tweaks!
This game looks real good btw!
I would be so happy if this came to VR headsets, I'm not aware of anything like this for VR right now and it looks awesome.
I thought the exact same thing while watching this!
I'm 50+ and this video has me grinning like a fool, how did I miss this?
Love this low poly games, i want a starfox and stunt race FX in HD :P
I like how every car is a reference to a real life car as well
Looks like Horizon Chase, which is good because that game was awesome and got the retro vibe extremely well done.
The game looks great, and I'll probably buy it soon. I already loved Virtua Racing on Switch, and Horizon Chase Turbo. And here's hoping that "90s arcade racer", a.k.a. "90s Super GP" eventually gets released.
Additionally, so many great Sega racing games are still left stranded in the arcade, whether it be out of their ill will, licensing issues or any other reason, to the point where it's borderline criminal.
Scud Race / Sega Super GT
That uphill section in Daytona demo is forever in my memories - so glad ya‘ll mentioned that.
I'm loving this game,but makes me want Sega to release those classics.Daytona, Scud,Outrun 2 and Sega Rally on current gen
Matthew Bown I don’t understand why they don’t especially on the switch
Most definitely!
This game is great. Love you Game Pass
I'm downloading this now on my Switch. This is exactly the type of game I've been wanting to play for a long time.
Really drawn to this game by the visuals and arcade gameplay I have seen. Glad that from a technical perspective it performs well too. 😃
I definitely did not realize this was Sumo. I'm impressed.
Even with all the nostalgia triggered, this game isn't that good unfortunately. It plays more like Mario Kart than any of the Sega Games it tries to recreate visually. Especially the horrible rubberbanding completely destroys any Sega feeling and pushes it more in the EA territory of Burnout and NFS. Sega racers were about racing the track, this is about dodging and bumping opponents that you can't get rid of, since the rubber band keeps them at your ass all the time. I also had some noticeable stuttering in single player on my PC running a 1080ti, although the FPS counter stays at 60fps all the time.
Totally agree.
Agreed, I have been having way more fun with Inertial Drift which also just released on steam.
I was about to buy this so that sucks...
@@MotobugGaming If you're on Xbox and have Game Pass, you can try it out there. Just don't expect too much.
That mix you are describing is actually just what I want from a game like this. Sumo also made the Sonic and Sega Racing Games which I had a blast with, so if they are at all similar, I'd have a great time. If someone wants a full "simulation style" racer there are plenty of options-- but that wouldn't really fit with the aesthetic of this game.
Cool game, but in reality it plays like a kart racer without weapons. The AI is ridicuolously aggressive. This is not a genuine 90s arcade racer by any means, only looks like one on the surface.
I agree. AI far too aggressive to be enjoyable.
AI obsession with PIT manoeuvre is really tedious
This is helpful. Thanks, guys.
@@paullucci it's free on Gamepass so you can always try it yourself and decide.
@@nrXic ah nice
I love how most of DF videos are like a chit-chat between 2 or more video game enthusiast friends rather than a super well-made scripted video. Great game, wanna play it and feel that modern retro!
Don't sleep on *Inertial Drift*. It's a twin-stick racer [yes, twin-stick]. Loads of fun if you can ignore bad character design, storytelling and some average looped menu tunes. The racing gameplay, music, and visuals are solid! Has a 90s vibe!
I JUST picked this game up. and boy let me tell you it's a diamond in the rough! Having grown UP in the Ridge Racer arcade era, this game hits all the right spots perfectly. I applaud the game director for this title. It's like he/she either grew up in this arcade racing era or did A LOT OF RESEARCH bc right from the start this game felt like a proper 90's cab racer.
I hope they’ll do a video on Inertial Drift as well which came out in the same week and is also brillant.
The fact that this doesn't run at full resolution on all consoles is really concerning. Very low polygon count and lack of effects should allow it.
They could probably optimize it. But that would cost developers time, and it will definitely not sell in milions. And visually it would not change much for such graphic.
That's what you call hardware scaling, not every machine is equal 🤷🏾♂️
@@moes95 No, not at all hardware scaling. Real, native resolution. This game very, very simple graphically. I don't see why it's not running at 1080p in Xbox One and 4K in PS4 Pro. It's running at 720p in Switch, which is waaaaaay underpowered compared to those.
@@kalpaucjusz8741 Of course it takes developer's time, but it runs at 720p on the Switch. 1080p in Xbox One and 4K in PS4 Pro is not aiming for the sky in such a simple game.
@@olavgausaker1 Why can't you just accept the fact that Pro is slower than One X?
the game really look the part, but the game play is ruined with overaggressive AI and rubber band, so you are constantly battling the cars rather than driving
still true to the original arcade racers, then.
You must work for Sega then.
That really makes me not want to buy the game, and I had planned to. ;_;
@@mrpositronia The original arcade racers were about getting the best time, and getting from last place to first, primarily battling the time counter, not the AI. Hotshot Racing doesn't work this way, technically this is a "kart" racer without weapons (which were removed during development). This is why the AI is so annoying and aggressive.
@The Elba "The AI is kind of aggressive, but it isn't unfair"
when the AI rubber bands (aka artificially speeding up to keep pace with you), that's the definition of unfair. It happens in Mariokart as well, but at least you can keep them back with items. Here, its (to quote another commenter): "A mariokart without the items"
In the first Ridge Racer on PS1 drifting put the car on rails meaning that you could initiate a drift by turning the wrong way and over take your friends while confusing them with a counter rotational 360. Skillz.
I’m glad John didn’t let that slight against Ridge Racer go unchecked!
The UI looks a bit uninspired, and I actually like having some textures (like Daytona USA), but this game looks like it's a fun game. Multiplayer support is great!
i love the ONE PIXEL they used for this game!
*:)*
I've seen a few Facebook ads for this one lately, and I thought it looked pretty good. Glad to know it's really great.
This video is a great ad for Outrun 2 or Outrun 2006. So fun!
I definitely wouldn't say it was "superb", but it was certainly fun for a few minutes.
I play games to have fun, so, for me, it's superb.
I love the fast, smooth and arcade style racers.
9:50 I personally prefer using the face buttons for racing games over using the triggers. This also looks like a game that I'll be playing more on Switch.
This is seriously a real blast on the Xbox one X . I had quite a bit of fun with this and it's on Gamepass :)
Yes its great
Honestly I would love to run the game in native 320x240p to create jagged edges and make it feel like a Saturn, PS1 style game completely.
Maybe you could force it to run like that? In the video driver, or via Windows commands applied to the executable?
Reshade could help you put with this too!
Track Mania Turbo has excellent arcade physics, I wish it had more traditional races rather than just (very high quality) trials. Same goes for Absolute Drift.
Seeing OutRun2 again breaks my heart!
Think about how Michael Abrash and John Carmack were blown away in VR by a simple room with facebook screenshots plastered on the walls as textures. You can make something beautiful as a small team much easier if you scale things back.
This game would actually look great with ray-tracing
As an avid car enthusiast, I appreciate how every car is based on a real model, often from the country of origin of the chosen character!
I can't help it, I love the non textured polygonal style.
This one seems to have also 4 players split screen on PC, which is awesome.
I'm just not entirely convinced of that sliding mechanics. I'm playing with manual gears, and I'm doing anything I can to not make the car go in "slide mode", it's so detached and forced.
Have to admit. I love these kind of games. When I saw Sumo was behind it, and their advertisement, I knew I had to get it. Blistering 60fps arcade racing just can't be beat. The clean lines are also a thing where even if the frame rate keeps up, it can still be a bit jarring to go to a modern racer just after playing this one, due to that distracting busyness. Especially on ones where the 60fps isn't locked.
Thanks for the review! I was really wanting to check this game out, and now I have a clear idea of what i can expect!
Oh man......now I want a Stunts remake using this engine. Played that game waaaayyyyy too much on the PC back in my youth.
I miss a game like SCUD RACE and DAYTONA - imagine those with RTX quality graphics. For a name, how about RAY TRACER?
Ayyyyyyy
Sounds like a reboot of the 1997 PS1 game "RAY TRACERS"
I like it but the name is probably trademarked by now lol
I haven't even completed the first minute of the video and you already said that it's a racing game by Sumo Digital, so I know it's great.
Picked it up a few days ago on launch for Steam. Wish the levels were more "active" (regardless of generational setting) and the music could be better, but it's a fun game. Need more Indie/small games from this era and the PS1 era!
Sonic All-star Racing Transformed still stands as the best Arcade style Racing game ever made.
I turned off my adblocker and gave you a Like because your co-host gave praise to the God game, Ridge Racer, boi. That whole series is God-game-tier.
I love the look of this game. It’s the throwback of polygon graphics that I always wanted to see on home consoles. It’s so crisp and sharp.
I much preferred "90s Racer"'s look, but at least this game will come out, unlike 90s.
This game must confuse PC PC Elitists.
@@kclink1579 I really don't get why "gaming hipsters" want to see blocky pixels in 2D games (which weren't a thing back then: the more rounded was the picture, the better), but at the same time they like not-jagged diagonal lines in 3D games. Why is that?
Why don't they the like those sharp, jagged, stepped lines?
Souljastation 5 It’s all about simplicity, stylization, and uniformity really. The “gaming hipsters” can have the blocky pixels in their 2D games if they want, it’s not my thing. I respect those people though, because if it weren’t for them no one would be playing video games today.
@@Stormgazer What? Who do you think gaming hipsters are? I call gaming hipsters those people that didn't lived the 2D era and think that "sharp pixels" (i.e. a horribly pixellated picture) is the way to go, while actual developers of the time did anything they could to try to mask the blockiness of the limited visuals of the time.
I play 2D games mostly on CRTs, but when I have to play on a flat panel I always choose the "blur" filter (better if with scanlines), conceptually it's no different from a modern anti-aliasing filter.
I literally JUST bought this and the notification for this video showed up, wtf.
Big Google is watching you?
wow fascinating!
You are the chosen one.
Same here.
Deep state confirmed.
That or Phil Spencer is watching us and works part time for Digital Foundry.
How much did you pay for that?
I can play it for free via game Pass
I’ve always wanted a reboot of Fatal Racing but this may do for now :)
Someone that has access to MS should tell them "we need a 90s racer Polygon Island" mode in the next Forza Horizon. I think this would be much more interesting than LEGO or Hot Wheels expansions...
I'm still disappointed we didn't get any race that reproduced the Forza Motorsports 6 trailer lol.
Seeing that steering wheel POV triggered nostalgia of Interstate '76. Where's THAT remake??
Damn lol i have the 3DFX version of those games and Mechwarrior on disc from back in the day :)
@@DEVILTAZ35 Incoming, G-Police, Moto Racer and one other game i can't remember came with mine.
John - “We just need some more Ridge Racer.”
Tom - *laughs*
John - “I will fucking cut you!”
I need a physical release, this look too good
I agree
Ridge Racer absolutely needs to come back and that means also lovely Reiko! What comes to this game, I don't know. I like how the environments look but the cars could have used little shading.
I can't get used to the alpha stuff for smoke and lights. Looks totally at odds with the clean poly style.
Blue skies in games! Just missing a half-tone/stipple shadow.
I've had my eyes on this game for years. So happy to see it's finally out!
Been playing it with game pass and loving it so far!
Ridge Racer unbounded is a must buy which can be purchased on steam. Amazing arcade racer!
I saw this game the other day and now that I watched your video I'm interested in it.
You can't say it's a great year for arcade Racers until there is a new burnout released
Main Takeaway i got from this is that Outrun 2 still looks really good.
What about the split screen performance? So sad it is not analyzed.... Is it 60fps on ps4 pro?
A common complaint I've heard is that the AI is incredibly aggressive and the rubberbanding is very apparent, which is true to an extent. For me, I enjoy that I "run the pack" more often than not, as racing games get kind of boring if you never see another car once you get into first. Slipstreaming is also a major mechanic in this game (it's as important as drifting in my experience) and the cars in the back will actually have a bit of a speed boost just being near each other, so the leader has a bit of a disadvantage. They don't go as fast as someone in the pack, and they can only gain boost through drifts. So, in my experience, it pays to stick with the pack and boost your way to victory on the last few corners than it does to keep 1st through the whole race. It's just a different style of racing that rewards being consistent and mastering the arcade mechanics (drifting, slipstreaming, boosting).
All in all, it's a great throwback and I enjoy the Saturn-esque look. There are some online play issues that need to be addressed (games with full lobbies often don't start for some reason) and longer tracks need to be a thing, but for a Game Pass title it has been very enjoyable.
The AI is aggressive, but the rubber banding is mostly when the AI decides to use the boost or takes advantage of your draft. (As you seemed to notice, it is Very easy to draft in this. They play it loose, it seems). As usual, for these kind of racers, I usually save a turbo or two for the last stretch of a last lap. In some ways, this does emulate the way AI racers behaved back in the games that influenced this, but still seem a bit more fair than before.
I don't understand how base consoles can't run a game that looks like this at native 1080p.
Depends on how its rendered and the engine used.
@@TonyJenn also optimizations matter as well
Speaking of Outrun 2; a switch port or remaster for modern consoles would be pretty sweet.
Or maybe a sequel :D
Configurable controls would be nice, get gear changing mapped to the face buttons instead of LB/RB. A great game and worth a play especially at the cheap price.
Horizon Chase Turbo also did this similar kind of look. And it’s awesome!
No horizon chase turbo tried to mimic old super-scaler racing game like Outrun. They are both reminiscent of early 90's arcade games, but very different breed of visuals and gameplay.
@@BlindTrustProject They mentioned Outrun in this video. So if Horizon Chase is mimicking Outrun and this game is too isn't that similar like I said?
@@lawofgravity1979 This is game is more onto the virtua racing/Daytona USA stuff.
Outrun was a 2D game on superscaler. Very different of graphic feeling and gameplay. They mention Outrun because it was a famous racing arcade game from Sega too. But Horizon chase tried to mimic that 2D scaler effect and gameplay, while Hotshot racing mimick early 3D racers. They are very different.
They are as different as playing FIFA 2D on the Genesis or Fifa 3D on Playstation. OR street Fighter 2 and Soul Calibur.
BlindTrustProject From the very description in this video “You can catch flashes of Outrun and Virtua Racing”. But okay.
@@lawofgravity1979 They put all of it in the same bag to throw famous names gamers would know in Arcade Racer. But I gave you enough infos. Just look up the differences between 3D polygons racer and 2D super scaler game. And then watch video of Horizon Chase and Hotshot. ;-)
Beautiful. Strikingly beautiful😍
How come you didn't talk about the PC version? I bought it on Steam and it's running at a solid 60fps on a GeForce GTX 2060 at 2560 X 1440 (the native resolution of my monitor). I could probably run it higher but that's as high as my monitor goes.
That Virtua Racing re-release needs to be re-re-released, this time with the 32X Deluxe cars and courses
Also, speaking of 90s Racing, Nintendo where's Cruis'n USA?
This is also currently on sale on Steam for $15.99.
This would be a nice arcade experience
i not understand about switch why on singleplayer is 60fps and multiplayer is less?!? what is the reason that make it go low 60 in multiplayer?
Im a little confused about why it's not able to hit 1080/60 on XBOne. If it really is flat shaded (which it looks to be except shadow maps), then all the gpu really has to worry about is vertex/face shading and texture sampling. There's not a lot of polygons so I can't imagine they'll have much trouble with the vertex shading. Then since almost all the lighting is done in the vertex shader, the pixel shader doesn't have to do that much, so I don't see why resolution is an issue.
