What happens when a publisher makes a game with a clever name to try to trick buyers into thinking it's a game from a very popular series on PlayStation? Well, you get this game.

@@greenagooIt's not something rational to do, it completely destroys the car. The only reason Ross Chastain had to go for it is because of how stupid the NASCAR playoff system is, and it's the only reason the moment created such a payoff. He passed exactly enough people to still be eligible for the championship in the final race with that move, and it didn't payoff for anything more than a viral moment thanks again to NASCARs idiotic playoffs. Long story short, it's a reckless move that destroys your car, has a high chance of injuring if not killing someone, and will likely never give anyone a chance to benefit from such a move again unless there's a major rules change.

they pretty much rebuild those entire cars after every race anyway.

@n64database64 5 ай бұрын

For the "real" Championship you have to drive 24 laps each track. In that mode the tires wear out and you also have to pu up gasoline, so it´s a much nicer experience... That´s if you can stand the sluggish framerate. After beating that cup, the reverse tracks will be available.

@SirExal 5 ай бұрын

You can tell the true racing game fans, because they're the ones who seem to find that doing 24 laps in a race is eight times as enjoyable as doing three.

Anybody interested, just look up Ross Chastain Martinsville to see the real life example of wall strats. It was the last race of a round in the playoffs and he was going to be eliminated if he didn’t make up a few positions on the last lap, so he just sent it into the turn and ended up advancing to the championship race because of it. It is outlawed now though haha

Oh my god. I remember GT64. I went back to my bedroom after college and heard a weird and loud sound like a vaccum cleaner from my brother's bedroom. I knocked his door and he said "Come in", with a cold tone. The vaccum cleaner was in fact the sound of the cars in GT64. The game, running on a PAL 50 Hz N64 (so even slower than in this video), was atrocious. My brother couldn't find the words to describe how terrible the game was to play. Fastest game we sent back to the store.

The first Ridge Racer game only had 1 track. It's sequel only had like 2. The original Sega Rally had only 4. Daytona USA about 2 or 3. Manx TT I think 2 tracks. It was pretty common back in the 90s. Often they'd have reverse modes or mirror track modes though to pad things out, something that Ridge Racer popularized. Or 2-3 main courses and a secret course with mad requirements needed to unlock it, to keep people playing. And it was a complaint even back then, about there not being enough content to justify the game. But personally, Sega Rally on the Sega Saturn lasted me longer than any racing game I've ever owned before or since. It had 3 courses, which wasn't as bad as just 1-2, and it had an additional secret course which was hard to unlock. And because the game was so quality, and because of the time attack and ghost car mode (still uncommon at the time), you just didn't get bored of it.
