>>9897 >>9900 Thanks for the suggestions, wonder if its possible to play online again via DreamPI or other multiplayer revival devices.

>>7370 I have played a chunk of the Ridge Racer games recently. This will always be debateable as to which ones are the best. But the series peaked at: R4 (PS1) 1998 - The visuals maxing out the PS1, aesthetic, and music combined to create pure synergy. Lots of car to collect too. Ridge Racer (PS1) 1993 - The original classic where it started. For some people, the original is still the best pure experience. The first playstation game and a great port of the arcade original at the time. Rave Racer (PS1) 1995 - I didn't play too much of this as this game tends to blur together with a couple other PS1 games. Bright pastel colors make it look almost like Vice City or something. I think this one has like 3 tracks or something. Ridge Racer Revolution (PS1) 1995 - Cool game but too similar to the original Ridge Racer. Not enough tracks. Rage Racer (PS1) 1996 - Interesting game. It has a different mood with dark skies and different tracks. Moodier and edgy. Ridge Racer V (PS2) 2000 - One of the original PS2 launch games. 60 fps for the first time in the series. It was mindblowing considering you are coming from the PS1 games to this experience. Going from PS1 texture-warping 30 fps (which is still pretty on PS1) to everything being rock-solid geometry and smooth 60 fps. The physics might be the best here in the series but that is debatable. Just clean drifting, not too lose and slippery like the later games. Pretty even with the PS2 jaggies. Maybe this is where the series peaked? Classic. Ridge Racer (PSP) 2004 - 60 fps on the PSP. Great racing game. Car physics can feel a bit too slippery like you are surfing around corners sometimes. You can use nitros to boost ahead of the other cars. I wish the cars looked more detailed though as they look like they have a blurry film on them, as if they are missing car texture details. The visuals feel like a mix between PS1 and PS2. Ridge Racer 2 (PSP) 2006 - This game includes all the music and tracks in Ridge Racer 1 on PSP so it supercedes the original. If you can only play one of them, get this one. Great game. Ridge Racer 7 (PS3) 2006 - If you are graphics-whore or just want something fairly clean and modern graphically within the RR series, this is for you. It holds up well thanks to clean design. It's cool. But nowhere near the artistic aesthetic peak of R4.

>>9912 What is the appeal of racing games? I enjoy racing about in some game side levels but I've never entirely gotten the appeal of racing games besides pretending to be intial D.

>>9917 I'm not a car person and I def don't care for NASCAR where people are driving in a circular track 200 times. But there is something appealing about a good racing game. It's fun to drift and slide around corners and go fast. I like the visual aesthetics of some of these games like R4. It can be fun to unlock and collect cars, which makes a game like Gran Turismo almost like an RPG, where you are upgrading your cars and getting new ones. Like fighting games, some racing games tend to push their consoles visually to the max, since they are rendering a limited space of the cars and the track. And if you go beyond the actual car racing games, millions enjoy a game like Mario Kart, Crash Team Racing, or Sonic Racing. So once you inject a bit more personality of the characters into the game, you might enjoy them more. They also make great party games for friends and family.

>>9934 I agree, I used to love racing my car in GTA clones back in the 2000s as well just for shits and giggles. Once upon a time I would race random cpu cars in transformers the game, get mad that they might het ahead of me and destroy them with the weaponry. You actually helped me unearth that memory, thanks anon.

Because fallout 3 is a shit game, into the trash it goes, into the trash it goes.

>>9888 So is New Vegas. I only played fallout 3 once to completion, and like 15 years ago, but I have way fonder memories of playing it than new vegas. I remember liking New Vegas and being addicted to playing it, but looking back, it wasn't really enjoyment. It was an addictive gameplay loop that was ultimately empty.

>>9919 Really liked the story of new vegas, don't really agree about the gameplay. Its nice to see the Fallout 1 devs clarify that Fallout is not communist propaganda.

>>9851 >uhhhhhhweeeeeeeeehhhhh kiek kike-a-loo kike kuh-eeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeee-kuh >nooooooooo I acted like a faggot and called you a kike when you pointed out my faggoting nooooo Fffffaaaaaaaggot, you are an annoying ffffffffaaaaaaaaggot.

>This Thread Sooooyboooy, get your soooyybooy heeere >Shooooaahhh, low cost shooahhhs for saaale Hoeeemoees I got ya three for two on hoeeemoeees

>>9312 Oh nintendo labo never ceases to amaze me with how it somehow trick so many retards into buying it. I guess it was an indicator for the times and where they were going.

>>9896 I thought labo was a shitpost for the longest time.

>>9901 Its always depressing to realize it was real.

>>9890 Because the death of consoles spells the further death of physical media anon.

>>9891 Unfortunately that's inevitable at this point. The convenience of just downloading a gayme or streaming movies and TV is just too enticingly easy to the niggercattle. No amount of '(((they))) can just censor your media whenever they want for any reason they want.' or 'they can just deny you access to the media you've paid for for any reason (((they))) want.' is going to get through to normalfags. I'm actually kind of surprised consoles still have disc drives and aren't download only. Best to just pirate everything and keep a redundancy or two. It'll be the closest thing to actually owning your media soon.

>>9892 I know, I was thinking about Spengler and Evola who I just finished listening to and how things are like organism and go round and round in cycles, and how you cannot always link the fire heckin dark souls reference!? and hold back the night or death of something. It is still sad to see it nonetheless. It is sad to see a unique form of entertainment, a sanctuary for good hearted men ruined.

God it feels good to be a PC GOD

>>9898 I was always a PCAryan, still sad that old video game culture is over.

>>5017 I enjoyed that, thanks anon.

>>9832 Did they make the character model ever so slightly fatter as well or is that a trick of light perspective or something?

>>9839 I think it's just a trick of the light. But then again I wouldn't put it past soyny to make her ever so slightly fatter every once in a while hoping people don't notice until she looks like a sexless DEI abomination.

So I assume this is getting a PC release 2 years from now or so right? That seems to be Sony's pattern...

>>9841 Soyny exclusives have gotten PC releases years after the original release? I honestly can't think of any, but I don't watch a lot of movies these days.

Less than an hour til release. Is there any hope it will be good?

>>9783 No. Go buy the first. If you already own it, go play it again. Story was fucking terrible and the map had that fucked old mmo geometry, reminded me of white knight chronicles. The only good thing was the gameplay and the gameplay loop (really solid), and the pawn builder. Can't imagine they improved the story any and they nerfed the character creator, so you better hope that playloop is tasty enough for your $80.

>>9787 >The only good thing was the gameplay and the gameplay loop (really solid) That's all a game needs really.

>>9787 >$80 do gaymers really?

>>9767 the check didn't go through

>>9767 Well, soys don't like vidya in general unless it's a 2DEEP4U walking simulator, so there's no surprise there. What >>9770 said. They didn't get paid to give it a 7/10/

Anyone that played rebirth have any thoughts? I've been trying to watch someone's let's play but the game is so boring and uninspired to me that I don't really like watching it. It looks like kingdom hearts. For example you hit boxes to open them and run around boring corridors, complete opposite of the feel of the OG with hidden treasure chests and detailed backgrounds. I really don't like the character designs, I especially find Aeris really ugly in the game. I also hate the weird dynamic between the characters and how they expect you to simp for all the female characters. But these are just limited impressions as I can't really watch much. Anyone whose actually played it or finished it have any thoughts?

>>9782 Be real honest I played this already about twenty years ago and I don't think the rebirth is worth touching. Just watch the clips on youtube. The first has so much game depth that they can only provide a quick tour of the surface of the story, and couldn't even do that properly. Literally couldn't even retell the same story with fancier graphics, had to alter it pointlessly in a way that only diminishes instead of complements or elevates. You have to think, are you the lowest common denominator? Because that's the audience for this game, whoever and as many people as they can catch using FF& as bait.

>>9788 I think you're right. The game's so bad that my post asking if anyone had played it or had thoughts about it seems like it basically killed the thread.

>>9723 >Why do you still care about Prince of Persia in 2024 when the series died in 2008? to laugh >Why haven't you learned to ignore anything published by Ubisoft? to laugh >Why do you still pay attention to AAA in general? to laugh >But feel free to spam about niggers for another 100 replies ok

>>9726 >>Why do you still care about Prince of Persia in 2024 when the series died in 2008? i like the gameplay formula, parkour + combat, its very interesting and few games do it its dead now though kek kill copyright

>>9724 I talk about vidya because there's more good vidya coming out now that at any time in the past, you just have to look outside AAA and especially outside the cash cow series that try to bait you with nostalgia. Fucking City of Brass is a better Prince of Persia than any recent entry in the series, and that's not a good game by any means.

sad news

>>9750 >marked down 20 freedombux already I wasn't even aware kang of niggerland even came out yet and it's already on discount.

>>9528 >Sonic and other related anime autism Anon please.

>>5938 it was going to happen eventually, just be glad we have a couple decades worth of games to choose from and the occasional indie title not made by a tranny

>>9680 >indie title not made by a tranny Such a thing exists?

>>9682 theres a few, theres a game in the works called brutal fate made by a doom modder called sergeant mark who makes people seethe cause he referenced real life gore for his gore mods and said nigger once apparently its a game made in gzdoom, its practically a doom wad wich makes some people disqualify it as a "real" game but its something theres also some indie dev that put his game on sale in steam 41% off cause some trannies were harrassing him on twitter, dont remember his name and that stardew valley guy who seems pretty normie and isnt a faggot so yea theres a few and i'd rather pay for a literal doom wad at this point than any triple a slop coming out these days

>>9683 i think one thing to look out for that serves as a redflag is any game that has a female protagonist as the playable character, freedom planet comes to mind and the dev is unsurprisingly a troon, and the whole thing looks like deviantart trash, compare that with sparky and its totally different, funny how the latter is actually progressing their franchise while the freedom troon lets his game rot and lives his life on suicide watch needing constant reassurance from discord fags, all i know about the sparky guy is that he's a brazillian and i'd be surprised if he was a troon so yea whenever i see female leads i just assume the dev is a porn addicted faggot other redflags i can think of would be obvious shit like saying trans rights or whatever, also aggressively shilling their discord server plastering links everywhere insisting you join, good devs dont do that shit
