cool stuff happening in Off Road Challenge

Profile view of the next-generation Nissan Juke, which looks like a low-LOD model from a 25-year-old racing game

This new Juke is gonna look so good when it gets closer to the camera and renders all the way in...

How Gran Turismo's Creator Snuck a Sim Into a Mario Kart Rival to Persuade Sony Execs Believe it or not, Sony rejected the original pitch for Gran Turismo. So the creator hatched a sneaky plan to make it happen anyway.

Hardcore GT fans know this story. But one of my favorite underrated parts of my job is sharing what most people don’t know, and preserving what might not necessarily be new, because we’ll forget it if we let ourselves.

Also, I love digging through 30-year-old Next Gen interviews.

I've been listening to a bunch of Time Extend episodes this week - and they're all gold.

If you haven't subscribed yet - why?

Racing game fans care more about banking future video essays on "underrated racing game x/ racing game you've never heard of" than supporting original ideas

Unfortunately, it's not budget in terms of the pricetag - so if it punches at that weight class it needs to be judged in that weight class....

- People seem unsure of the control scheme, and the lack of a demo doesn't help. 2h may not be enough to get a hang of it.
- The mindset of "dollars per hour" in pricing hurts Screamer, even though it does have a lot of content
- People wanted a story, but don't like VNs I guess

Hope y’all like middling Horizon clones because that’s all you’re gonna get if you keep refusing to show up for anything even the slightest bit out of the ordinary! ☺️

Screamer hasn't been a hit out of the gate, with middling word of mouth and a very low player count for a new release.

A sign of the times in terms of the appetite for full-price AAA arcade racing games that aren't Horizon; or a confused release strategy from Milestone?

Same in the UK; shit loads of copies for like £3. 😂

Returning to it at age 32 for this episode, "fun and a little hard" is still exactly how I would describe it as well! 😂

❤️❤️❤️

Great convo on a charming racing game we’ve covered. Give it a listen!

MRC Again + Random N64 Racers | Time Extend Revo | A Racing Game Podcast Adam, Brend, and Paul inexplicably feel a desire to talk about Multi Racing Championship again before launching into a discussion of N64 racing games, the Virtual Boy, and wireless controllers?

In 1997, Genki released a racing game. Not that racing game—it was called Multi Racing Championship for the N64. Far as we can tell, nobody bought it. We already talked about it once, five years ago. Now we're talking about it again. We're not entirely sure why. Anyway, new episode.

Grand Prix Challenge on PS2

Been playing a little bit of Grand Prix Challenge (Melbourne House, PS2, 2003) at the recommendation of my @extendti.me cohosts in the evenings, and it's ridiculously impressive. Knocked me right back on my coal-minin' ass, as the kids say. I have a favorite F1 game and it might be invincible.

Screamer Review: A New Benchmark for Racing Game Artistry A hyper-stylized, story-rich, circuit-based arcade racer, you haven't played anything like Screamer in a long, long time.

It’s a really great feeling when a game comes out of nowhere and single-handedly gives you hope for an entire genre. Milestone should be so proud of what they’ve achieved here.

Oooh, that's cool!!

February 14 2000, Ridge Racer 64 debuted on the N64 in the Americas!

Though the game draws heavily from Ridge Racer (PS1) and Ridge Racer Revolution, the 64 version does have an exclusive Renegade series of desert tracks and the "Ultra 64" race car, a shout-out to the N64's original name!

One Make Racing Games | Time Extend Revo | A Racing Game Podcast Adam, Andrew, Brend, and Paul discuss a whole bunch of racing games starring cars from a single automaker. Spoiler: Most of them suck.

We'd love to say there's a Beetle Adventure Racing for every Volvo: Drive for Life, but our exploration of games based around a single automaker's products mostly turned up stuff that's not worth playing. We suffered so you don't have to. "One Make Racing Games" is live!

Good afternoon - I bring some good news.

You might be crap at SEGA Rally Championship 1995; but you'll never be as crap as The Weeknd is at SEGA Rally Championship 1995.

Is it even possible to be dead last that far into the Desert track?!
