Hell nah. I had it on 64 and when I play the ps1 version it's definitely a step back

THPS3 on N64 is more of a demake, and I don't know anyone who played it that way. Your criticisms are best directed at THPS1&2, because that's what we were playing. As far as N64 vs PS1, it's really a matter of full length songs vs shorter loading times. And please. Dreamcast barely counts. It was more of a PS2 competitor, and it killed Sega because no one had one. You may as well compare to THPS2X, which was surely even more impressive than the Dreamcast version of THPS2. Probably outsold the Dreamcast version too. Also, American SK8Land on the DS is the GOAT. All the mechanics of THPS3. All the charm of PS1/N64 THPS.

As much as i love the n64, its a real shame how gimmped these 3 classic games were.

Thanks! I enjoyed it for an hour but didn't want to play any more. This satisfied that for me.

there are tv screens in rage 1 , the bar in wellspring has several attached to the walls where some guests sit

I used to play this with my little brother all the time, haven't seen him in years.

Not gonna lie, I actually had a hard time playing some of these games on VirtualBox. I looked at walkthroughs for help.

Unfortunate that the PC version doesn’t have toggle aim down sight, I really need that.

"It's not gooing to be someones best racing game of all time" I disagree

While today, in 2024, I still play thps original trilogy on my n64 without any problem, it is strange that I have never seen anyone playing those games on playstation or dreamcast nowadays. Why would it be?

I played rage on both PS3 and PC and had a blast both times. The DLC was also great and added in some amazing set pieces. I absolutely loved the towns. I think the lack of a map was actually a blessing in disguise since it makes you have to familiarize yourself with everything and really look around.

Only benefit of the N64 ports is the quick load times.

You prefer difficulty over graphics, but earlier you said 3 is the best because of reverts

I played Rage when it came out (PC) and I actually really liked it. There was a big outcry about the texture streaming issues, but I barely noticed these issues myself luckily. My main complaint was, that I would have liked more depth to certain characters, but I just told myself „Hey, it’s not supposed to be an RPG, it’s an id Shooter“. Overall, I have fond memories of the game.

I bought it because i thought it was a driving shooter. 😢

I think the N64 versions of Tony Hawk and most 3rd party games are accomplishments in themselves. As PS1 was lead platform due to popularity, it received the most attention and optimisation from publishers top AAA studios and most talented programmers. The N64 versions were farmed out to a smaller studios with less resources, reduced time, budget and had to deal with severe cartridge memory restraints: 8-12MB in most cases to fit a whole game including music/sound is insane. In addition to that the system was rock hard to develop for. Kudos to the team.

For slowing down, you need to engine break. Downshift going into the turns.

The PS1 version was ass. I bought it and within 10 minutes of playing, I was on my way back to trade it in.

Good shooting and car combat. But just absolutely boring. No well-written characters or quests or things to do. Just barren and boring.

If your complaining about fog with the n64 versions then dont play the ps1 versions, there worse.

The PSP version was the once i played the most. And it is damn impressive how they crammed all that in to the tiny disk.

It's certainly not the best theme park simulator, but it certainly defined my childhood. RCT3 was better pretty much in every aspect.

any one who calls rage a bad game has their head up their ass. The gaming world has created a generation of spoiled gamers that bark out orders at the devs, us og gamers bought a game and crossed our fingers it was good. and this game is pretty damn solid, like all other id games we didnt come for a mind blowing narrative, we came to kick mutant and bandit ass and damn do you feel like a badass when you do it right.

I dislike anything related to cars, racing or similar stuff, but this game was the first and the only one I liked in my entire life. Fun as heck. Unfortunately too short and seems will never be a remake. Hope someone can reverse and make a PC port some day.

Hey man, the colour palette is shot through with some deep reds and gleaming blues and some subtle greens. So since all these other colours make up about 9% of the palette combined, it’s more accurately described as a “diseased fecal smear”🤓

I have no idea why they haven't brought this series back

I know Tricky is a fan favorite but 3 will always be the #1 title to me. The freedom you have and soundtrack is what sets this game apart from the others.

Rage’s intro..to me…is possibly one of the most emotive intro’s of any game that somehow failed to transfer into a compelling game. I played it as soon as it came out and I did finish it. I enjoyed it but came away feeling un-satiated. To this day I love it and yet feel it was such a wasted potential.

It is halfway through the year 2024 and I don't know if I was EVER aware that there was an N64 port of THPS3...

All Star Fox Assault needed were some branching paths to help increase the longevity of the game, and, suddenly, it would've been the best entry in the series. That game had everything that I wanted in SF64 needed but was missing from that game due to the N64's technical limitations. SF Assault had the best story of any SF game, too. It's too bad that this game is slowly becoming lost media due to Nintendo refusing to acknowledge this title. The more GCNs and SF Assault discs that stop working due to age, the more this game will disappear from the public eye. It doesn't help that Nintendo's new SF "continuity" (misnomer because that implies Nintendo is still actively making SF games) complete ignores SF Assault. I'd love to see a re-release, remake, etc on the Switch at some point. A new SF game inspired by SF Assault would be right up my alley, too. If nothing else, what I don't want to see from SF, if this series ever comes back, is another Godforsaken remake of SF64. SF64 is an amazing classic that I have fond memories of playing, but I'm sick to death of Nintendo falling back on a game from 1997 to keep SF marginally relevant. Seriously, enough of that game. It's insane how an entire video game franchise that was once associated with progress and evolution could become so dependent on a game that's not even from this century. If Nintendo did nothing with Mario but remake and re-release Mario 64 over and over, Mario would be a dead franchise by now. Thankfully, being their golden boy, Mario gets much better treatment than that.

Hi, I love playing in manual. Must be out of habit from doing the same in Cruisn' World, a game I'd own back in the day. Idk if playin in manual has any advantage at all, but it feels nice pulling it off correctly.

This game is like unsalted potato chips.

Love this game got the platinum trophy even bought the dlc. Still remember the first time you go to the dead city such great atmosphere.

Love those games prefer to play gamecube versions the controller makes all the difference

EA did the same thing that they did with HSV Adventure racing with some game for Nissan back in the day too,

4:20 that's definitely NONSENSE.. i mean how the SaikouXS can be much mush faster than JerseyXS?? One of them is Supra and the other is Viper IRL.. both cars have same powers and because of that there must be an individual "Tier System" for each city but we also need another logic to start from the slower car to become a city champion :)

The devs should have found a way to calibrate and translate the D-Pad controls to better fit the N64’s analog stick. It would’ve been hard and different, but the additional work would’ve paid off

SSX Tricky is a great game but as someone who played the original it's really just a remixed version of the first game with some extra tracks but SSX 3 was the series peak and in my opinion was never beaten by any game like it since.

they should bring this to mobile, just like they did with gta

so much bs was said about 2049, you just don’t get it

The game was fun it was the soundtrack that wasn’t that great compared to its predecessors

This game used to make me RAGE

I’m going through a bunch of iD games at the moment, and Rage is definitely going on my list. I just know there’s a lot to go through... but it should be fun!

Loved it, still do, several replays.

The dark souls of racing games... If you played WoW you can say it was burning crusade heroic level or naxx 40 level hard. At least in the second half

Is it the greatest game ever made? No. Is it fun in my opinion? Absolutely. The thing I like about this is with games like planet coaster, which I do like don’t get me wrong, it can be hard for people like me who aren’t creatively minded. The preset locations are a godsend and make building so much easier for me. Also the minigames are decent to play. Sure, individually the parts might not be good compared to other games, but combined I’d argue they make a pretty decent experience.

Rage wasn't perfect but it was great. I installed it on all of my PCs including my Windows tablet I used for college back in 2016.

I stopped watching after you kept complaining about the soundtrack and showed none of the soundtrack audio other than a restart on one of the minigames no one played

Pink and purple guns, no thanks

I loved every moment of RAGE, had it on the 360. The 2 discs surprised me, but I never had any bugs or glitches. Did have an issue getting cash my first playthrough
