I have no idea 😂 But it does certainly make things more interesting. I guess that's why.

Yeah, you're definitely not finishing first in this race using that setup. I'd recommend a decent controller for this game in general, it makes a world of difference. I use and xbox one controller which works pretty well. Still difficult to stay on the top lanes of this track however. Careful use of airbrakes helps.

Yeah, if you drop down on that first part, you're not winning the race. I love this level, but it is tricky. I tried playing on an N64 recently and it was almost impossible. It's much easier on an xbox controller (on PC) With a smoother stick. But like everything, practice makes perfect.

Not really, they are both futuristic racers, that's basically where the comparison ends. I like the wipeout series, but racer just did everything better imo. Better handling, better locations, more character and charm in general. My opinions of course.

@@bowser515 Thanks for the info..

I'll take that as a compliment....

I'm glad more people will get to experience it. I've just started another play through myself on the GOG version.

Yeah, I was using an xbox one controller for this video. If anything, I'd say that you need a controller to play it properly.

@@bowser515 I'm trying to use my steering wheel with pedals and I always get issues trying to set the inputs.

@@ZA-7 I couldn't comment on that as I don't have a wheel. It is a pretty old game at this point and it has a few issues. Try asking on the GOG forums.

@@bowser515 I solve it with the original game, thx for your reply!

Hi, no I'm playing on high settings here, it's just a very old title so doesn't look amazing. This is the original however, the GOG re-release has a higher resolution etc and looks better. I really should revisit this and do a play through with the updated version at some point. The good news is that the game is so fast that you really don't notice the pop in or the aged graphics as much as you would otherwise. It still holds up as a game IMO and is very playable still.

@@bowser515 I tested this on my Pentium 3 500 on TNT2 and V2 sli today. Looks like they obfuscated the pop-in with fancy dx7 fog effects that doesn't seem to be supported on modern hardware anymore. I noticed this on more old games, basically software mode with texture filtering and the CPU doing most of the work, all because modern 3D accelerators haven't the faintest idea. lol

@@jamooiniet8456 Most likely. Have, you looked into the Gog (good old games) version? It is improved over this original release. Although obviously it's a still very much aged and in need of an HD remake.

@@bowser515 Tbh. i'd just go with the PS2 version over the gog version, it has nice graphical and gameplay improvements over the original and it's pretty easy to emulate on modern systems.

Yeah, it's a challenging track but practice makes perfect. A good tip is to break heavily and take that section slowly. You can make up the time elsewhere by going like a whippet with a bum full of dynamite.

i did, no thanks!

Neither any Gods, nor the denial of demonstrable reality are for me. But thank you.

@@bowser515 Enjoy your Nothing.

@@DirtiestPotato Enjoy your delusions.

@@bowser515 Lol ok guy.

Maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment, but I quite like this Devil track ;)

@@bowser515 yes, you are :D

Many thanks.

Very real.

You don't. You can use the method in my description of this video. The video was recorder with my original copy running on W10. However, for the sake of a few quid, I recommend just getting the GOG version as it's more stable and is running in HD which is noticeably nicer looking. They have sales occasionally, just wait for one of those.

XDeath yeah, happy days. The GOG version runs great also.

+Peter Feher Yeah, it does do that. You can shoot off miles into the lead if you play well. But in all other situations, the opponents alter their speed fairly drastically based on what you're doing. I think the intention is to keep the race interesting by always having opponents around you. You can also select the AI speed in the race load screen. I always put them to fast for a little extra challenge.

Thanks for the reply. Yes thats probably what the intent was, but I just hate it so much when a game takes me for a fool with gimmicks like this.

Peter Feher It's called 'rubber banding'.

Magician2086 he's the best pod imo. I tend to go for either him, or Teemto Pangalise...

Yeah I also played Neva Kee a lot, as well as Mars Guo and Clegg Holdfast.

Magician2086 I just got the GOG version which runs well and looks better as it's 1080p. I had fun trying all of the different pods again. I played the main campaign with Ebe Endecott through, I always liked the look of his sharp blue engine surrounds.

Well I never played on PC, only got the N64 version(which was nice too). I alos mostly played the characters I mentionned above because of the look of their pod.^^

I beat EVERY track after getting Neva Kee in first place. No upgrades whatsoever. Including the Invitationals. My favorite of the Invinitational tracks is easily The first one. It's jolly good fun to speedrun, but my favorite track in the game goes BY DEFAULT to Executioner. LOVE myself those 0G tubes.

Really? I've had no issues and I've been playing it quite a bit. I'd contact GOG and see what they say. Or try a fresh install just in case something messed up.

Bought it. Classic! Only 8 euro's.

I know, just installed it and had a quick go myself!!! Great news. Thank you for the heads up regardless, it's working fine now thanks to GOG.

bowser515 I've not tried it yet, but I'm glad it's working as some people had reported it still didn't like modern PCs.

I only had a quick play last night as it was gone midnight. But it seemed to run just fine for me. Setting up the controller is proving to be a little unintuative, but I'll be putting on soon and trying to sort that out. I'll be sure to let you know if I do run into any issues....

Maybe not steam, as it probably wouldn't run. But I certainly wish that GOG would fix it up and sell it.

It's entirely possible. One thing this game did exceptionally well was to make you feel like you were going very fast. I think it's one of the reasons that it has aged fairly well and is still very playable. It looks fairly poor (visually) in videos like this, but when you're actually concentrating and playing it, you just don't notice the aged, blurry textures. I do wish they would give this a nice HD update and re-release it though...

@@bowser515 low quality blurry menu font is more noticeable than the actual game graphics.

I hated this track on the N64 back in the day. But playing it on a PC with an xbox one controller allowed me to appreciate its challenges without getting overly frustrated lol. I quite like the track now.

I used Nvidia Shadowplay to record this. I played around with both Fraps and DXtory, but never could get on with them. Shadowplay seems to record without killing the frame rate which is nice...

bowser515 Okay cool. Thanks

You can certainly install and play it. It does have a few issues, but not enough to spoil the fun over all. The zero G tunnels are the biggest issue for me as I had no control in them meaning I died multiple times while hitting the rocks inside.

I never did follow up on this. How exactly did you get this installed AND working on your PC? Pardon me, I would really like to know. Miss playing this game SO much.

Mine too! Loved that Pod, shame he dies in the movie ;)

Neva Kee is pretty much the best character together with the Bullseye guy and Cy Yunga, the rest are pretty bad, except for a couple of exceptions

bowser515: Ratts Tyrelle is the only one who died in the movie.

@@bowser515 canonically neva kee just drives into the horizon on lap 3 of the boonta classic, never to be seen again, this is not shown in the movie tho, but this technically counts as death

+lurkerrekrul I agree, it definitely wasn't a simple task to get this running. And even then it wasn't perfect. Sadly the other versions were noticeably down-rated in the visual department. I do wish Good Old Games would get a stable version of this on sale already.

I've never played the Windows version. I've only played it on N64 and Dreamcast (emulated), and Racer Revenge on PS2, also emulated. It's weird the way GOG has most of the Star Wars games, but doesn't have Racer, Battle for Naboo or The Phantom Menace. I'm still annoyed that Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike only ever came out for the Gamecube. My system isn't fast enough to emulate those games at a playable speed. :)

You're welcome. And congratulations! It is a tough track for sure.
