I don't know if this is satire, but the key to unlocking everything is to NOT come in first place. That is specifically why you need to have an excel spreadsheet while playing the game. You need to come in 1st-1st-3rd-2nd-3rd-2nd-1st-1st with the French team and Age or some retarded specific combination to unlock cars 10, 32, 60, 96 (I'm making this up), and that is why I hate playing R4 and would rather play Rage Racer.

They have very bad and simplistic physics/car handling. Barely any driving skills matter. No need to use brakes or mind weight transfer whatsoever. They are like Ridge Racer 1 but without drifting. PC High Stakes also has weird and distorted car models. EA Seattle basically made the PC NFS3 port from scratch instead of using PS1 version engine and then slapped more cars and tracks into the same game calling it High Stakes.
EA Canada, who made PS1 NFS3 and High Stakes reused the PS1 engine on PC for Porsche Unleashed which was a huge improvement over previous PC installments.

False. There are many tracks with tight turns. Did you actually play these pc ports? Also, wasn't Porsche Unleashed meant to be more of a sim anyway?

>No shit. It's an arcade style racing game.
How many arcade style racing games have you played? Most prominent ones like Sega Rally require some driving skills. Not all of them are like F-Zero or something.
>Did you actually play these pc ports?
Yes, I grew up with both PC and PS1 versions. PC ones are rough approximations with simplistic gameplay, like idk, Street Fighter 2 on Amiga.
>Also, wasn't Porsche Unleashed meant to be more of a sim anyway?
It did have more elaborate tuning but physics engine was lifted straight from PS1 High Stakes.
I have hard time understanding people who only knew 90s Need for Speed games on PC. They tend to love Porsche Unleashed even calling it the best NFS ever but when it comes to High Stakes they get overly protective of sloppy PC version even though it's only the PS1 version that plays like their beloved Porsche Unleashed. Nostalgia, I guess.

>It's an arcade style racing game.
IIRC only Need For Speed II was made as an arcade style game. Others were early attempts at simcade before Gran Turismo took over. NFS games were nowhere near Papyrus sims in realism and details but car handling was pretty good and somewhat translated to real life. I don't know if making PC ports far less realistic was intended but it was never intended in the original Playstation versions and was a weird decision considering PC had actual sims and ffb wheels already.

Currently playing kinetica, it's pretty challenging to say the least, you have a very narrow time frame to do stunts and it's pretty difficult to get first place on every single race in any given season, and there are some tracks where if you're not careful you just go out of bounds, sucks ass but other than that it's a really enjoyable game, also the soundtrack is kinda weak.

Sounds like Jet X2O, where getting 1st place is already a bit hard on the regular difficulty, then when the difficulty goes up 1 notch, they also want you to achieve a perfect stunt score on every risky jump to make your pole position count. On top of that, there's an even harder mode once you beat the other one, and each difficulty has you play the first 4 tracks over again to access the newer ones.

Yes, the more you do the higher your boost gauge.

Not too sure if the score has any effect on what you unlock but I'll assume so for the time being, there's currently three unlockable characters as well as an in game theater related to the games history. The physics are trash and most of the characters suck imo.
>>10207294
At least in kinetica you can get an upgrade where your stunts fill up the boost gauge quicker than normal, which is very useful, actually most of the power ups are very useful, my main issue is just constantly falling out of bounds, it's pretty much a given on most stages.

what's the issue? i thought you could disable specific tracks from the ea trax menu and they don't play in cutscenes

>you can spin out too easily when drifting
This can only happen if you new and don't know how drifting in RR works. But opponent physics and AI are crap indeed.

>>10208154
you can turn it off from the menu. it was before any of that shit came out anyway, its not like EA put it in because he was a pedophile. though you will unlock the car eventually if you play enough.

NFSU unfortunately doesnt get a lot of attention in terms of modding unfortunately. the game is significantly less popular than its sequel, to the point where its nearly impossible to find any info about it online

So? RR1, Revolution, RRT4 and RR5 - each one has completely different drifting system. Rage Racer is closer to Revolution though.

ridge racer 4’s grand prix has 4 difficulty settings where each difficulty setting has a story where you by being a sick ass racer help the manger of the teams do things like grow into more of an adult (easy), overcome their trauma and reclaim their passion (medium), realize that some things are more important than passion, success, and perfection (hard), and that the only thing that’ll drain you faster than being passionate in your work , is being stuck doing work you’re burnt out in and have no passion for (expert)

Daytona on Model 2 Emulator with a G29 racing wheel + shifter. I 3d printed a little jig for the shifter that makes the shifting feel much tighter and it's absolutely perfect for Daytona .

I'm trying out daytona 2001 on dc now, I set the analog sensitivity to a very low setting to avoid the twitchy controls.

But how the fuck do you drift in this one? I have no issues with sega rally or outrun 2006 but I cannot figure out how to (reliably) drift through corners.

Also, might be of interest, but the latest version of the World doesn't have manual shifting available for whatever reason. It is not a bug it seems, Midway just removed an option for manual for whatever reason.
Version before the latest one does have the manual shifting.

9/10 on medium, 7/10 on hard mode(don't play hard mode), i'm biased against Most Wanted because of ProStreet/U2
Strengths: Everything, physics and tracks with multiple routes especially
Mixed: MW's cities with lots of hairpins don't fit the HP2 aesthetic(long highways with scenic vistas)
Weaknesses: no customisation, cop cars are tanks with jet engines strapped to the side, some performance issues when there are 6+ racers and cops

Roadblocks.
Roadblocks, fuck roadblocks in races. They can spawn relative to other racers meaning a :^) rhino pops into existence 10 meters ahead. Carbon Battle Royale made the same mistake. Little Timmy can cruise on the other half of the separate highway while you have to eat roadblocks. 2x intercepting rhinos

Getting a 3-star rank in 50cc alone is extremely difficult. You basically have to drive perfectly without ever crashing into anyone, going off-road, etc. I’ve been playing this game on and off for over 20 years and so far I’m up to getting 3-star in the second cup of the snes tracks.

underground through carbon are implied to be a connected story but they're pretty barebones and mostly there for exposition. which i prefer since the new ones are story heavy and suck.

I like the aesthetics of 2001 so much but if you get the chance try the ps3/x360 version of Daytona
I can't tell if it's the physics that are different or I just got gud, but once I moved from 2001 to gen 7 port it was so much easier and less twitchy

Finally started trying the Gran Turismo games. Played a little of 1 and 2 via emulator and they're really cool.

It's a bootlegged remix of Wipeout 1 and 2097 combined together, but dressed differently so you wouldn't have guessed it's the original tracks reversed and mirrored. It's similar to Ridge Racer 64, except they didn't reverse and mirror their tracks.

It's cool for what it is. I mean, when you are through all the rest of it, well... I'm the man who prefers to go for different titles rather than keep replaying the old ones over and over, and 64 is good enough to keep me from replaying old ones, so go figure.
Emulator has troubles with menu, but it is... possible to overcome those with Cheat Engine.

[Anonymous No.10230323]

Not constantly but I do get in the mood to boot this + 2097 from time to time for some races.

Unlucking the crafts for all speed classes is a pain in the ass though.

Still prefer 2097s music.
