Yeah, I pimped the shit out of the car, it's ridiculous, it's doing over 340kph. 😀

​@@colfari The new GT-R with grey and pink livery color?

@@krisnarefaagusta16 Yeah, I think the car was added a couple of months ago, with the last content patch or the one before iirc.

83 or 93? The first Ridge Racer came out in 93 in aracdes, was ported a year later for the PS1. 83 must have been something completely different.

Brain fade on my part,definitely played something that looked similar in 1983

Hmm, Pole Position maybe? That was with much simpler graphics though. I played the shit out of Sega Rally in the Arcade back then, that was early/mid-90s though.

I assume you don't like the co-driver?

Nah, I just find the Navigator's voice kinda funny here.

@@claresaprama499 Ok, gotcha. I had other people complaining about it, that's why I was asking. I kinda like it, fits the arcade vibe.

It is a great one, no argument here. 😊

​@@colfari Can you tell me about Ridge Racer Type 4 a.k.a. R4?

@@krisnarefaagusta16 What do you wanna know? I put some info in the description, you can buy it on PS4 and PS5 for 10 bucks or play it for free if you have PS+ premium subscription.

@@colfari Or buy that PS Classic.

That would be great. I'm kinda fine with the way it is though. Game is still a lot of fun. I saw some "Duckstation" footage of this and while it would be a great option to have, it almost looks too clean for lack of a better word. But I get what you're saying and it should be an option.

@colfari even if higher res would be out of the question (understandable, some elements could suffer) higher bitrate would save the crunched colors, especially blacks. But that would require tracking down resources and japanese companies at the time liked to get rid of even their source code. More of a pipe dream really, unless there's an analog master tape

@@jakobi700 You're still playing the old games then if I may ask? Still have the old consoles or on PS5? Or maybe emulation on pc?

@@colfari PC/android emulation and R36S (technically Linux but you wouldn't be able to tell). Old consoles are nice but I don't have space for them, and I cannot justify buying a console having good enough PC and a backlog of games

@@jakobi700 I should look into that, though I don't really play games on my pc, it's too old anyways. Thanks for the replies btw, been nice talking to you. Cheers!

V-Rally was also 1997, so the same year. Was released on PS1 and 2 years later on pc as well as N64. 😊

Yeah, it's pretty fun. And I found the driving much easier compared to similar games (almost a bit too easy imo).

This game is from 1997 and I recently upgraded my ps+ subscription to premium, which includes a classic catalogue, lots of PS1/2/3/4 games are included in this one. Playstation celebrated their 30th anniversary this week. Nostalgia basically got me. 😄

​@@colfari Yes, it's Rally Cross 1 by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc..

I'd certainly watch that. 😊

Did you get it then?

Not right now, maybe they will implement it later, it is early access and supposed to release next year iirc.

Hey there bud, hope you're doing great. :) Yeah, it's still early access and a bit rough around the edges, but it's really fun to drive. Quite enjoying it. There are different camera angles too like cockpit or top down like art of rally. Pretty cheap too, it was 20% off on Steam when I got it, and it's still going afaik, so like 15€.

Thanks, I’m trying my best to finish 2024 :) Hopefully, 2025 will be even better! :) How are you, by the way? And yeah, this game looks really stylish, at least in your video. It’s the first time I’ve seen this title

@@Bondjara I'm doing fine, thanks. Was very happy last weekend when Thierry got the title, stayed up until 7 am, emptying a bottle of champagne. 😀 How did you like Rally Latvia btw? Did you go? And hope we see more of Sesks in the future. My first video of this game shows the other camera angles btw in case you're interested. What have you've been playing recently? Still EA Sports? I uninstalled it half a year ago and I'm not really looking back, haven't watched your recent videos tbh, I kinda swore off EA/Codemasters completely, sorry about that.

​@@colfari I was hoping Tanak would win, but Thierry is great as well! :) As for Rally Latvia, nah... I just used the old method of watching it on TV :D None of my family wants to join me for such events that last at least four days :) To be honest, I haven’t been into much rallying lately-I’m stuck in Satisfactory right now :D Having a lot of fun with that game

Yeah. Having Rally in the title helps getting my attention too. :)

I did a video for the 400 hp series as well, maybe that helps with car choice and lines. What car are you using?

It's a joy to play. The circuit tracks against opponents too. You're thinking about getting it? Did you play the first one?

@@colfari Never had the first one, this has gone under my radar but happy to hear about it now, I will wishlist it!

@@KDRulz There is a bundle for both and it already has been on sale a couple of times, but I'd recommend getting the second if you just want to check it out, as it is (much) better.

Yeah, it's pretty fun, I'm sure you'd like it as well. It does support wheels too, not sure how extensive that is though. And it's currently 20% off too.

That's very kind of you, thank you. Hope you're enjoying the game yourself.

Have not played it myself but it looks just like this or the other way around to be precise.

Not for me. World rally championship arcade is the best.

Hey Geoff, don't forget you'll need a PS5 or PS4 for this. And you finished 4th iirc in the last club event. 👍 Not sure when the next one will be but I'll let you know.

Haha, thanks again btw.

Thanks. Thought so too. 😊

Hi there, Hoshino!

You can turn the music off, that's what I did as well a couple of hours in. I did some other videos where I replaced it with music from art of rally. Not sure about the corner warnings, it was possible in the first game is all I can say. I do like these arcade voice announcements, fits the game imo.

@@colfari - Yeah, admittedly, I do love the retro music that some of these games have, and even in this one they have some tunes that bring me back to my youth - but I don't think I could put up with the majority of them on this game blasting through my sound system! 😂 As for the voice. I don't have an issue with voiceovers. I play a lot of rally games, but her particular pronunciations just grate. It's odd as well, because the countdown seems to be in a different accent, then it switches. Anyway, I've watched a few of your videos now, and am enjoying. Keep them coming! 👍

@@Its_A_London_Thing Thank you. I totally get the music thing. Another thing about the voice is that I just need a co-driver when playing the rally sections, I'd argue I don't really need one, but just doesn't feel right without one. I could reinstall the game and check for sure if you can disable it if you like. What kind of rally games have you played if you don't mind me asking? The Kylotonn ones?

Yeah, there are a couple of those in the game, one from Hyundai as well, that's the opponent in the last one. They don't exist in real life, but were asked to come up with one for the game. They have a lot of Vision GT cars with the same idea behind it, where manufacturers are allowed to go crazy a bit and try new ideas.

Thank you. And the drivers from STRacing and Austria 3 were our opponents in the team league mode at Legend 1, we had no chance against them. This track was one of the stages in our club event that week and I was just practicing and thought I could try to beat them here at least, motivation was pure spite. 😀

I think I spent around 40 or 50 hours with the game. I did play the first one about a year ago, around the same hours, a bit less probably. The first game was also a bit more difficult imo.

Hey Geoff, the game has real mp, this is a race against ai though, it's one of the (new) events in the sp campaign.

Thank you. I never get any comments about the replays, so really appreciate you saying that. I love the music replays in this game, could watch it for hours (and I actually do that for these, capture multiple to see which fit best for the music I want to use). Thanks again and have a great weekend.

Thank you. Glad you liked it.

Thank you. Wasn't against Sophy this time. They also added a DTM race at Nürburgring where I only managed 2nd so far, I will probably try again today.

Thanks, Geoff. How is your project coming along? I saw you set up a camera, looking good so far.

Thank you, much appreciated. The game is pretty awesome.

Thank you. It wasn't my first attempt admittedly, clocked in over 500 km today. Do you mess with the Sophy races yourself?

I try to avoid braking as much as possible. Sometimes I use trail braking too or just coast and then just throw the car around the corner. And I almost always stay a bit on the throttle as well, that's something I do in racing games as well with a wheel for example. Sometimes steering slightly left before going into a right turn can help to find a better angle, because as you said, it's all about finding the right line. Do you always upgrade your car? And do you change cars a lot? Especially early on I would try to stick to one car you are comfortable with and then just practice a lot so it becomes second nature and you don't even think about approaching corners, you just do it. Give yourself time and don't try to force it.

@@colfari "Sometimes steering slightly left before going into a right turn can help to find a better angle" AKA the Scandinavian flick.

It can be disabled but not changed to another voice.

@@colfari Just got this on sale, but how do I disable the co-driver voice? 😅

@@maxrenn7 Disable corner warnings in the settings.

@@colfari I did, but it only disables for circuit racing. Doesn't seem to be a way to disable for rallies (until an update is released)

@@maxrenn7 I did disable it and the co-driver is gone on PS5. Maybe pause it in a rally stage and see if you have to disable it there as well. Would be weird, but can't say much more than that.

Thank you. And this is definitely my fave also. It's a bit less stressful than a sim racing/rally game, though it can get pretty dicey here too. You're playing on PS5 too?

@@colfari I played on PC.

@@AppaMakingGame Ah ok, thanks, unfortunately it is not cross-platform, I would have added you otherwise. Have a great week!

Yeah, it's pretty fun. I only played Rush Rally 3 before that, also a good time.

No, there are bumps and lots of jumps. The first game was flat and the second introduced exactly what you mentioned. There are some elvation changes and bumps in here as well if you look closely btw.

@@colfari awesome, thank you!

This is on PS5, so the DualSense. I don't remember any specific difficulty options which would change car handling like in Super Woden GP if that's what you mean, but I could check if you want me to.

Thank you. It was a pretty good run in Finland this time. 2 days ago, 6 from my team were doing the dailies, so there is still life left. Most people gave up on EA's game (like myself).

​@@colfari But you still playing WRC Generations, the final game for the 2022 season by Kylotonn and Nacon?

@@krisnarefaagusta16 Yeah, we're still playing the team league mode. Stopped playing EA's game months ago and need some rally racing in my life. We're up for promotion to the highest tier this week.

It is indeed. You played the first one as well? I feel the second is a bit more approachable.

sound shapes is pretty great, I played it on PS3, PS4, PS5 and also PS Vita. I'm not sure you can get it outside of those platforms tbh or if it's already delisted, I hope not. It's a really special game. There is a whole "album" by him in the game btw, this is my favorite track.

That's pretty cool. I played a lot, and I mean a LOT of Rock Band and Guitar Hero back in the day, any part of the series really. These are some of my favorite songs to play. Basically discovered a lot of bands this way like Interpol. PDA was also one of my faves in the game.

Thank you. I think. 😄 You're playing this as well then? First one back then too? I only started with the first one about a year ago and it just clicked, especially the rally stages as I do love me some rally.

@@colfari Ich werde dir in deiner Sprache antworten ;). Ich habe das Spiel gestern gekauft und spiele es jetzt, ja xD. Ich habe dieses Spiel auf Steam zum Verkauf gesehen und es hat mich für meine ersten Spiele nostalgisch gemacht, das ist es, was meine Aufmerksamkeit erregt hat, diese Erinnerungen. Ich spiele auch Euro Truck Simulator 2. „Ich habe bereits gesagt, dass du die Hände eines Fahrers hast.“ Grüße und pass auf dich auf, Bruder ;).

@@gonmarj8227 Dann mal viel Spaß damit und auch viel Erfolg. Lass Dich nicht unterkriegen. Liebe Grüße!

Danke, wünsch ich dir auch.

Das war Dreieck oder? Macht bei mir auch nichts, hab das aber auch nie genutzt um ehrlich zu sein.

I will report this bug as well, sorry for the inconvenience!

​@@colfari richtig, gegen ki nicht, aber gegen kollegen schon

​@@crown96399 Da hab ich gar nicht dran gedacht, hab auch noch nie Split-Screen gespielt, muss 'ne Menge Laune machen. Dir noch einen schönen Abend!

Just noticed that the game received another update and it is working, at least on PS5. Thanks for turning this around so fast. This is the thread I made on the game in case you want to read some impressions from other people: resetera.com/threads/super-woden-gp-2-ot-wodent-you-like-to-join-us.938529/

I already tested and mentioned it in the OT I did for our forum, it is working. Guess I have to try the hillclimb event again. Thank you so much. You're not german, are you? I just see one of the drivers with the name Victor Justo and he has a german flag. Just in case: vielen lieben Dank!!

@@colfari Well, I was born in Germany, but my parents are Spanish. We returned to Spain when I was about 4 years old, so I have almost completely forgotten the language haha

@@vijuda That explains the flag then, thank you. And this should not be too complicated: Grüße aus Kiel. 😊

I hate to bother you again, but currently the arcade mode on PS4 and PS5 is bugged, you get infinite restarts. Doesn't work when the timer runs out, but you can restart runs over and over again, even if you have 0 credits. I noticed this and asked a friend to test it as well and he confirmed it. So you can kinda cheat if you notice you won't make it by just restarting your run.

Yeah, we have been playing the team league again for a couple of weeks, got to get my rally fix somewhere. I saw that you're still going strong in Estonia in WRC10. 👍
