Was just emulating this last night. Thank heavens for PCSX2 at 4k60. The art is so well done in this game it still looks awesome at high res.
I still get flashbacks to the Tropical Drive Westbound time trial with the F1 car. Took me years before I got good enough to beat it. Also one of the first games that I got 100% on.
I had a modded PS2 and this game (back up) came in two discs. For some reason the chip got damaged at some point and I wasn’t able to swap discs so I could only play half the tracks but it still was my favorite game on that console
I’ve been playing Burnout Revenge on my Steam Deck recently. It’s incredible how well the Burnout series has aged, still some of the best arcade racers out there.
Played the shit out of 3, then even moreso paradise city. Then I bought paradise city again on PC. Then on switch lol. Mobile burnout is fun… Love that game.
A couple of years ago, I played through Burnout 2 on the Wii. It’s still a fantastic racer. I’m sure I had Burnout 3 on the original Xbox but I can’t remember much about it.
Ugh. I don’t mind more the encroaching of the definition of retro, but can we have sub classifications? Burnout 3 has to be generation 7 or 8 in consoles right? My retro ends at Gen 3…
Now please remove yourselves from my lawn before I feel the need to apologize at you for asking you to remove yourself from my lawn.
I think it’s Gen 6 (PS2/Xbox). But at the time the Gen 6 consoles were new, the Gen 3 that you consider retro was about 20 years old, just like these consoles are now. I think they still fit the label of retro pretty well, but it’s always hard to consider something newer than your childhood as “old” tbh
Check out Beam.NG, if you haven't. It's about as close as a modern game gets to the same level of sheer joy and fun, but it isn't as well-packaged and intuitive.
That looks great, wishlisting tomorrow definitely! I miss simple racing games, so sounds like my cup of tea! :)
Hehe my lemmy client saw the game’s name as a link, and it went to a strange redirect thing! Here’s a link to the game if it helps anyone :) www.beamng.com/game/
