the ost is only good thing about it.

There was already a pc port but I haven't seen any of those early 3d Sega pc ports in a long time.

The answer is the difference between a producer and consumer. Some people are always driven to explore weird shit.

The PC port is notable for rendering the whole map while the Saturn version has limited draw distance. The Dreamcast should be able to handle the whole map as well.

They should remake this (into an actually good game)

The fact that Sonic races in a car wil forever be stupid

 

[Kiya's Guard]

Not a video from our man VGE? Dayum

 

[Kadve]

Isn't that considered one of the worst racing games of all time?

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

I unironically love the super-cheesy music from this game.

It is, however that doesn't stop me playing it to completion every so often. It only takes around 20 minutes to 100%

 

[Ceallach]

Wouldn't it be a million times easier to port the PC version?

 

[RCX]

Sonic fans are fucking weird. They worship any game that he's in, even though 95% of them are objectively shite.

 

[Unknown?]

Can you feel the sunshine?

He races on foot in this game

The PC port is notable for rendering the whole map while the Saturn version has limited draw distance. The Dreamcast should be able to handle the whole map as well.

The PC version also has mods that greatly improved the game:




* Character physics tweaked for more control.
* Characters rebalanced so each one is generally usable.
* A final boss race against Eggman is added once Radiant Emerald is unlocked.
* A brand new practice stage! (HOLD L/R-BRAKE BUTTONS WHEN SELECTING RESORT ISLAND)
* Collision tweaks to some areas to improve the flow. (ex: trees in Resort Island)
* Bigger hitboxes on various items. (ex: tokens, emeralds, etc)
* Boss music is added for the boss race encounters.
* Higher quality sound effects that are better on the ears.
* Various other improvements.

I mean hopefully this means someone can fix the controls

 

[Saber]

Why the heck wasting time about a game that is bad and barelly playable in comparison with other racing games is beyond me. Sonic R is not a good game at all.
Want something from Saturn to catch people interest?
Dragon Force, Shinning Force 3, Panzer Dragoon, the list goes on.

You've never played this game have you?

 

[freemandos]

I never played this game. But I was interested in it in my Saturn days...despite my disappointment because Sonic X-treme cancellation.

I have, It's not great. What it has going for it it that Sonic and friends race on foot and that makes more sense to me.

 

[Drell]

How do they do the quads to triangle conversion and VDP2 planes on these Saturn ports? I'm actually curious about this.
