I mean, it's slightly exaggerated because it's stretched to be widescreen instead of native. Which is a real shame, should really preserve the aspect ratio when playing retro games.
Yeah, going 140 kph on a twisty road really feels just as fast as it would in real life. The problem with games often is that if you make the speeds realistic, it feels slow because you can't get the same feeling of speed through a 2D display.
This game was very beautiful at the time, there was never another racing game that we could play with cars from those eras. I wish it had a modern release.
@@dkthales I think I should point you in the direction of a channel on here called GPLaps - he does a lot of vintage racing content, usually in a game called Assetto Corsa, which is something else you should have a look at. Your mind will be blown for a while, but if you love historic racing and cars from that era, just like when I discovered it, your dreams will be brought to life as you never, ever thought they could. Scratch that earlier comment, I've been playing AC for a year and I am still blown away by it.
Yeah the low cost of CD publishing and ease of PS1 development gave us a ton of games for that era. There's loads of classics I didn't even know about, such as this.
@Crazy Chris en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSX_(digital_video_recorder) But this is not the case of the PSX. This was PS1 emulator, which uses very high resolution and speed, that's why the modells and the game looked that good. If you want to see the real game check it out: 4Bbls31AI4A
Unfortunately recorded in bottle format. The game ran in 4: 3, which you can clearly see on the egg-shaped speedometer. Unfortunately, UA-camrs keep making this mistake
He is using the emulador core that allows the game run in wide screen, the rendering is not stretched at all, only the textures like the png image on the speedometer, so not bad at all.
I have great memories of this game. It was the first racing game I ever finished 100%. After finishing this game, I liked the racing games. It is all, have a nice day.
I can't get my mind over the fact that psx didn't have a depth buffer and all those polygons had to be sorted back to front every frame, quite remarkable
I remembered this game and being an utterly confused child as to why there are only “old” cars in the game. I ended up playing Gran Turismo instead lmao
Man, I guess Laguna Seca was extremely popular during this era of gaming. Even Star Wars Pod Racer on the N64 (not sure about the PC or DC versions) had a track modeled after it. But wow, the textures are really well done for a PS1 game, even this late in the console's life. My word, rubber banding is obvious, though. EDIT: Okay, so it might not be rubber banding, just a case of overspeeding the A.I. due to it sucking pretty bad in the corners.
Was this the sense of speed on the original release? Seems too fast. Also, the pop-in is minimal due to the emulator, right? If not, that would be very impressive for ps1.
To my knowledge you can't change the pop-in in a emulation, unless you re-write the game code, something that is very hard to do and I doubt it someone would lose time in a game like this
The existence of this game makes you ask what were they thinking. I mean, if there was a target group of old ex racers who also knew how to play a PS1 game then maybe. But for real, it seems odd that anyone would bother making a game that's about historic cars only, unless it was treated as a novelty and sold for cheap.
the driver looks like they're being covered by a blanket on their body lmao still good graphics for being a psx game.. used to play this with my brother when I was a child
Pre-war cars weren't exactly the best sounding compared to the more exotic cars that came later, but yeah PS1 games can be really hit and miss when it comes to engine sound.
@@karelpipa Probably why I never heard of it. Gran Turismo were the only games to really do sim racing well on the PS1, some of the motorsport games like some F1 games also tried it but even they would feel arcadey by today's standards. Most games ended up being arcade racers more or less.
Can we just give him respect for that amazing turn in at 7:58?
Yep. +65000 Respect Points in fact.
The sense of speed in this game is quite good. The car actually feels it's going fast.

Forza is probably the closest thing to it these days, a decent selection of pre-war cars in Horizon 4 for example.

And we still have not seen most of them, in the west we barely saw 1600 of the almost 8000 that the console has, the rest never left Japan
I think so
@@اسلامیایرانارتشnowadays game now costed up to $100.

Cars were pretty good modelled for being a PSX game.
it’s actually quite impressive tbh
but compared to Grand Trismo....
Yeah in the thumnail at first glance I really thought it was Ps2 !
For a ps1 game released 21 years ago the texture quality is actually decent especially with the car modeling
Its PSX, twice as powerful as PS1.

Probably one of the only racing games that make 100kmh looks really fast
Classic cars on classic console! Great!
I remembered this game and being an utterly confused child as to why there are only “old” cars in the game. I ended up playing Gran Turismo instead lmao
I remember playing this as a kid 20 years ago, forgot both the game and title for more than half of my life, thanks. Still looks good.
Mille Miglia, for a 25 year old game, its somehow still amazing!
these 155 kph are faster than 400kph in Gran turismo

hell, even the race track in the one mission of Mafia 1 is the Laguna Seca layout
Não conhecia esse jogo, e pelos comentários muita gente também não. Po achei muito bacana, apesar de só ter carro das antigas, é bem feito.
por isso que é bom, só carro antigo
Gameplay and physics used as a base afterward for all star racing 1 & 2 and 5 star racing, which is infamous afterwards
Wow! I want to play this game!
I thought it was impossible to beat the AI until I saw this video. Very good driving!
Really nice car models for it's time. The sense of speed is good as well, i bet it was fun to play

It’s amazing how you can completely forget you played a game as a kid and then see a random thumbnail on UA-cam and it all comes flooding back 🤣
Holy crap cant believe i forgot this gem
Wish this was on ps2 and have a cockpit view
Nostalgic ♥
Never heard about this game. Good graphics for that time!
面白いですね。まるでラグナセカを横にしたかのようなコースですね。
This holds up incredibly well in HD.. PS: I've never seen this game before.. but it looks great.
Miss nfs porsche
I love classic cars, I wish they remake it
Cars these looking pretty good modelled for the being a PS1 game
amazing driving, i used to hate this game back in the day coz the cars handled so badly. seeing you play it, i guess it was my sucky driving!

Wow 100kph was allot faster in the old days
This looks so cool yo.

still good graphics for being a psx game..
used to play this with my brother when I was a child
Beautiful game developed by the italian "Kung Fu Games" company. It would be interesting to know where those guys ended up after this game. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
wow never knew the Miglia game(s) got a sequel on PS1.
5:20 Woah! How did they do those very good looking real time reflections? Looks amazing for ps1!
rtx
6:50 man, laguna seca looks weird
hehe :)
Uai, I never play that game!!! Looks like amazing
looks good for a ps1 game, save for the drivers face
I wanted to get this back in the day but I had to choose between this and Driver 2 which I saved up for so Driver 2 it was
Good old driving fast without blurr and crap
licensed Porsche is rare, licensed Ferrari also, but licensed Porsche AND Ferrari in one game O_O
Hahhahsa! These cars are a bit too fast, aren't they not?
Anyway, cool! Didn't knew this one.
Looks pretty cool
I will try this on my RG 350M
Is this an evolution of the Italian Job game engine?
Looks amazing, sounds horrific.
Pre-war cars weren't exactly the best sounding compared to the more exotic cars that came later, but yeah PS1 games can be really hit and miss when it comes to engine sound.
Nice Gameplay. 👍👍👍👍👍
This game has very nice grafics, but the speed of the cars is too fast. It seems they are driving at modern F1 speeds.
did this have an actual NTSC release?
Is this emulator better than ePSXe?
Anything is - ePSXe is extremely outdated by today's standards. These days you should either use DuckStation or Beetle PSX.
@@CookiePLMonster thanks
Nice
Damn the graphics is good for ps1 game
Like most games in emulator...
@@2012JvN if the emulator games look better, then the emulator is not 100% equal to the real thing

No straight aways. Hide draw distance. Like ridge, rage racer.

Seems like it, High Stakes was my game back in the day.
I wished this game had high stakes gameplay and physics, who cares if it will be the same game, it would be another instant classic!
the game looks nice but the sound is very ugly.

Why muting the music at the start? Lame.
To avoid Copyright infringment. Actually is a logic move.

Oh wow this looks amazing, considering that the original game.looked and played like crap
Haha MAFIA 1 remake be like
Im suprise thar Auto Union was in this game
