Circuit Superstars: First (handling) Impressions and GeneRally Comparison
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- This time actually uploading a 60fps video.. Top down 'sim' racers can be fun, how does this 'new' (ish) game compare to GeneRally? Get GeneRally here gene-rally.com/
how the skidmarks look and built up in generally is somehow really satisfiying
And they keep adding, unlike AMS and RF1 where they only go so far before the older ones are erased :-(
generally is my childhood game. it was one of the only games that would run smoothly on my ancient pentium mmx 166mhz processor pc. I just checked the forums and there's still a community around it making mods and tracks in mid 2022 :)
Finally! Givin' GeneRally some love.
I never actually remember playing GeneRally all that much, I just loved setting up a series of races with all-AIs, turn the numbers for things up to stupid levels and watched them make a fool out of themselves. Those were good times.
I completely agree. Gene Rally's car is simply more fun to drive, it responds better and has more subtleties in its behavior for you to worry about. Circuit Superstars replicates Generally's racing perfectly, with the issue of pitstop strategies and AI aggressiveness and such, but you don't get the same satisfying driveability.
Since the question was asked in the video, there are two active communities for GR around as far as I'm aware
- GeneRally International Forum (forum.generally-racers.com )
- GeneRally Polska (on Discord) (discord.gg/3pqsD9n )
Competitions, Tracks and Cars are still getting made and uploaded even after all these years and everyone is welcome!
You should try "Art of Rally" also available on Steam.
I think the handling is quite close to GeneRally
Yes art of rally is absolutely fantastic.
GeneRally reminds me of an old DOS game called Slicks'n'Slide. It also had that sliding physics. Loved it!
Just missing the tire skid marks on the track
@@isaacbugalho They weren't very good but there definitely were skidmarks.
Fun video! Made me super happy to hear a Tiff Needel reference. :)
Circuit Superstar reminds me of an old Amiga game called SkidMarx
Indeed it does!
GeneRally is a lot like racing RC Cars IRL I think, great stuff 👍🏻
Check out Ultimate Racing 2D! Really Cool little top down racer. Features trye wear, variable weather and pit stops.
Ah I remember GeneRally, such a great game. Another fav of mine was indy heat on the Amiga.
I like Circuit Superstars, but I LOVE Generally... played it almost nonstop many years ago, made loads of tracks for it and downloaded lots of cars :)
Niels looking stylish today
Reminds me of "Slicks 'n' Slide"!
Yes, to me GeneRally was the successor to Slicks 'n Slide, and Circuit Superstars is kinda the .. well.. newer (not 'success' yet imo) version again..
Have you had the chance to try out "DRAG" in Steam Early Access?
Pretty impressive physics modeling.
It supports wheels and soon it wull support handbrakes too.
If you like time trials/hotlaps, you will probably love it Niels.
It has a scoring system like GT licenses and even an online leaderboard.
I love this game. The handling feels great.
Why does Niels look 10 years younger that usual in this video? Have you built a time machine?
gene-rally seems to make your genes younger
Haha, I still play GeneRally regularly 😃 They were also developing a sequel with online multiplayer but the project died. However now there's a GeneRally inspired game called "GeneRacing" in development:
ua-cam.com/video/lp9g0ityS5I/v-deo.html
It's still on very early alpha but if you join their Discord I'm sure they'll give you a key if you want to try it out.
GeneRally physics are awesome and I've always hoped something similar with online multiplayer would come out.
Did you get a haircut? Looking sharp!
Not really, it is the 'I Just Cycled Home 10km Against Medium Dutch Winds' look :-)
What are the ods! Just yesterday I was thinking about how satisfying the slipping control was in micromachines on Commodore C64 and how I need to find something similar!
Missing the skids, and missing the whole circuit view.
Hi Niels :) We've talked yesterday, right?
GeneRally reminds me of a game I played back in the 1990s. The handling and basic design looks almost identical. I don't recall what is was called though :/
Slicks'n Slide
I have not played Circuit Superstars, but is it really all in the handling model that doesn't allow oversteer or is it more in the driving/controller aids that limits the steering angle for different speeds and how quick the steering is for initial turn-in and for counter-turning. Because the handling does look quite natural overall. No way to upset the car with a Scandinavian flick or even a J-turn?
Not really, feels very much like a super front engined type of car that for some reason also doesn't have lift off oversteer.. I have no idea how they did the physics, if it is even 'car like' (probably no need for it)..
@@NielsHeusinkveld I think there are build in arcade assists, but there is some overstear on power, it just does not have poweroff overstear because it looks to lag the power off when you break. that being said, try out the super trucks or the the mussle cars, both are pretty good. that being said, theys till need to fix tirewear
@@NielsHeusinkveld No lift-off oversteer! Gamer Muscle will not be happy.
why the reupload?
Try CS with a Xbox controller, it gets even better
Give us some VR gameplay footage please!!
Bro. Dat price, doe. I'd love to give it a try but CS seemed incredibly overpriced for what it is, damn.
I think I paid 17 euro, and I probably won't drive it much more, but if you enjoy it, it is one of those 'hour a week' chill breaks for a while, it isn't too bad.
GeneRally is actually having quite an active community with a lot of great competitions. Feel free to join it: discord.gg/2ah7uyZnzm
