6 Awesome RACING GAMES On Steam Deck

[@Onailim3]

Love to see someone actually playing games on the steam deck and not just watching the FPS counter. Greetings from Argentina

[@Bad.Ju.Ju.]

Hahaha. Spot on!!!

[@sergei9912]

people want to see how some games run, you know...

[@AJslayer86]

This is a stupid comment lol. So no one should ever care about the performance of any electronics they buy

[@thomasj.9686]

It's a holdover from the PC gaming ethos. I agree with your hilarious comment but I also understand where PC gamers are coming from.

[@libardomm.trasimaco]

Jejeje. Metal Jesús es tremendo crack :)

[@chrom4ful]

MetalJesus sure loves his racing games! it's really cool that the deck can run games from different generation rather effortlessly

[@shadownet_nft]

We need a MJR review of 80's racers like spy hunter or LED Storm. The music was off the chain. Please give some love to luminaries like Rob Hubbard and Tim Follin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5OciZ2ugJeFgMU

The steam deck will make backwards compatibility issues a thing of the past

[@HamFang]

@@smashmaster13 Backwards compatibility has never really been an issue with Steam/PC Gaming. I've always been able to play my steam games on any PC whether its a desktop, a laptop, or now a handheld PC like the Steam Deck. I've been able to fire up any game I've purchased over the last 15 years or so. I even have games in my steam library that are Mac compatible that I play on my macbook when I take breaks at work. That's one of the big advantages PC gaming has always had over consoles, you don't have to worry if the next console gen will support your old games. I love my steam deck, I cant suggest it enough to people and I cant wait to see the next iteration they release.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Blur is currently DELISTED from Steam and so getting that to run took a bit of work. Basically you need to find a copy of the .iso and then mount that. Then you add the setup.exe to your library as "non-steam game" and then run it with Proton Windows emulation. That will run the installation. THEN you go find the executable for Blur.exe. Remember, the Steam Deck is running SteamOS Linux so everything is just different enough. Once you find that exe you can then add THAT to you Non-steam library, choose Compatibility and one of the Proton layers and you are good to go! It's a bit of work, but the game once setup runs GREAT on the Deck 👍

[@overlordalfredo]

Sounds like a process you need to get used to whenever they duelist games from steam.... It great that it works, but it also shows one of the big flaws this device has, if you ask me!

[@wiredupretro]

Wow- pretty complicated. Well worth the effort, though. Somebody needs to do a video on this.

[@deadox]

I REALLY wish Microsoft can somehow relist this bad boy on Steam (it would 100% justify them buying Actibliz). In the meantime playing backup iso would do; thx for the tip!

[@Sickentist]

I got Blur in my Steam library. Haven’t played that one in years but I loved it!

[@teh0tak1n9]

So I managed to get Blur running. Only the sound does not seem to work. anyone else experiencing this problem?

[@fpsoftdev]

Love the steam deck videos, would love to see more of your favorite games on the platform!

[@mauryj.3415]

The Fact that you can play F-Zero, Forza, Grand tourismo, auto modelista, asseto Corsa, Need for speed, split Second, Blur, Fast RMX, Mario Kart, Jak-X, Twisted metal and Motorstorm on the Go in one single console is mind blowing to me !

[@mauryj.3415]

How I could I forget burnout!

[@henriqueacabral]

good luck playing gran turismo or motorstorm from the PS3 era on the steam deck. gran turismos PS3 dont run and motorstorm run at 10 frames per second

[@BlacksiteMongrels]

Didn't know my childhood game Slipstream 5000 is on Steam!? Bought it directly. Thanks for this video. Nostalgia on :D

[@kevinharris7902]

Ridge Racer Unbounded was probably the last cool "arcade" racer with real cars before the market emptied a full clip into that genre. Everything went way closer to simulation games.

[@GabrielTindall]

I've had my Deck for about a week now and I LOVE it. I'm currently playing Half-Life 2 which took a little while to adjust to the new control features but I'm really liking gyro aim. I'm also playing What The Golf, Dark Souls 2, and just trying a little of this and that including Morrowind. The ability to play my PC games library in a handheld form with a sleep button is really a game changer if you'll pardon the pun.

[@nicklen6873]

I remember buying my two best friends copies of Blur because I loved it so much. Definitely an under played, great game!

[@arkaikan]

i love when he talks about some racing games. always hits my taste

[@samuelfurr835]

Awesome video! Need some more videos about the steam deck games, maybe a video about the best retro games that plays the best on the Deck?

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Thanks for the idea!

[@Hect0rx]

Was just thinking to myself that it would be awesome to watch a new Metal Jesus video, and seconds later, here we are. You read my mind, and now I'm scared

[@Maxquaza]

Is that Daniel

[@sirdudebrian4026]

He is working for the government!

[@dandiaz19934]

GREAT RECS, METAL JESUS!! Im so happy youre liking the Steam deck. Emulation on it seems awesome!!

[@TwistedIdentity]

I wish it got more love / support because Ridge Racer Unbounded is an absolute blast. Same with Blur.

[@Level1Sword]

I'd love to see a "how old can you go" episode where you see how well the oldest games run on the Steam Deck.

[@tylerdean980]

I mean, realistically, the older you go the better the performance will be.

[@Level1Sword]

@@tylerdean980 Hmm, then maybe just more of a "what are the oldest games that can run on the Steam Deck" episode.

[@nickthelick]

Exactly what I was thinking about too... What older PC games can you play on it? 🤔 I heard you can emulate with it too? I don't know about that though. 🤔

[@elimalinsky7069]

You can technically play Pong from 1972 via emulation, but natively I think plenty of games from around 1996-1997 should work just fine if you sideload Windows on it. Proton might have a problem with games older than 15 years or so, but Windows on the Steam Deck has its own share of problems which I hope will be ironed out soon.

[@TBrizzle01]

Well I saw Half Life 1 being played on this thing so I'm not sure if this would be a good video. The Steam Deck is a computer so basically.... It can run anything that's its hardware can handle. The only question is if you can properly play it since games won't have controller support, etc.

[@rcp225]

Thank you for this video, MJ. Your the best! "Underground" is the best of the bunch!

[@ashutoshJMJK]

It’s officially Friday when MJR drops a new video. 🤘

[@MetalJesusRocks]

You know it! 🤘

[@Amarucide]

Full respect for Slipstream 5000..... I feel like i need to relive this Memory thank you

[@woowoo0739]

Wow, Blur! I used to love that game a few years back, I'd forgotten all about it. I so need to get one of those Steam Decks...

[@TheMultiGunMan]

I'm going to have to get one of these. Thank you for the video.

[@stevefulkerson4995]

I wish Blur was still on steam

[@crux891]

I loved Blur the reason it got overlooked at least here in Europe was because of the game : Split/second. They both came out around the same time. And split/second was everywhere in the stores and in commercials. Blur was nowhere... While it still sold well it's a hidden gem that got ruined by it's launch date for sure in Europe.

[@judithpomella7460]

Hello

[@frankderksen459]

I took you're advice some time ago and bought Split Second for the Xbox 360. Man what a great game definitely a "Hidden Gem". Thanks dude, keep up the good work, love you're video's!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Good stuff!

[@jimmymyers]

You can get Split Second for Steam Deck too

[@crabbuckets7506]

I had no idea blur was like that I thought it would be a racing sim or something boring! Will pick it up if I see it in the wild 👍

[@borislovothered8124]

Blur was describe to me as a "grow man mario kart" we play it on the 360 back in the day with the boys, great game

[@Sharki33]

Bring back blur... What a fantastic game... Plz Activision

[@nightmareci]

I'd strongly recommend BallisticNG; it even has a native Linux version, which I play on my Linux PC, so it should also work well on the Steam Deck. It's mostly inspired by the PS1 Wipeout games, and is one of my all-time favorite games. There's DLC, but what's great is the developer updates/adds to the base game for free, with the DLC still there if you want it. It also has robust Steam Workshop support, with custom user-made tracks, etc.

[@crimsonshadow1140]

I second that, ballisticNG is a really solid tribute to the original Wipeout trilogy, I’ve been following it since it’s inception

[@chilly6470]

Yep, and it plays great on the Deck at 60fps. There's so many tracks to play on and the recent DLC is excellent.

[@leeroy4022]

OMG Blur! me and my roommates use to play the hell out this game it was so fun.

[@smashmaster13]

Starts with blur, I bought this game off your recommendation and it's the best recommendation anybody ever made to me. I've now bought it on all three platforms

[@chrisredmayne]

Where did you buy it from?

[@mikeyarcades]

For those that want to play blur there is a discord server with a file download.

[@Thelostrune]

Blur seems very similar to LEGO Drome Racers, which is also an underlooked title. I'll have to check Blur out sometime soon.

[@FortuneHunters]

Well, if you are into emulation, I'd say the Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition should be on the list as well.

[@Oretal]

I loooooove Buck Up And Drive so much. I really love playing it in short bursts when I’m waiting for time to pass by.

[@AyratHungryStudent]

I'm waiting when Reggie gets Steam Deck and starts collecting those rare weird Japanese import games.

[@theoldpcgamer77]

Got Blur on the 360, great game. Redout was free on the Epic store recently so i'll get round to playing that one on pc.

[@jessragan6714]

One of the best parts of Blur is that instead of a Blue Shell that guarantees a hit on the first place racer, you're instead given three staggered pools of electricity which can be tough to dodge, but not impossible to avoid. It's much more fair than Mario Kart in that way.

[@JeremyPeeples]

Such a shame that Blur can't be re-released - I really wish I'd grabbed it back in the day on PC

[@adolfpickler4295]

You can grab it for free off the internet archive

[@juanfurlan1]

BLUR is a fun arcade racing game

[@drunkenbarrel1012]

I definitely recommend Distance. Really really good driving game.

[@setdamn]

I'd recommend Sayonara Wild Hearts, it's a unique rhythm game and a short one too. You can beat the game in one sitting, and the game has great replayabilty. I have fun playing it on keyboard, so i imagine it will felt even better on Steam Deck.

[@BetweenTheLyons]

Fantastic recommendation. At first I didn't buy it because I heard you could beat it in 45 minutes. But curiosity got the best of me and now it's one of my favorite games to showcase with friends, and I know every song by heart.

[@wiredupretro]

1st game is Blur! I salute you, good sir :)

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Indeed it is!

[@philh3041]

Absolutely brilliant video 👌🏻 just ordered my Steamdeck and doing my research 😅

[@drifter2185]

Love BLUR! Shame that Activision killed Bizarre Creations. I remember playing the demo at Gamescom Cologne looong ago. You were in a 'real car' with 4 people racing in 4 player spliscreen mode on a gigantic screen. A mate and me won a round so we got a BLUR keychain with a light. Still own that. Hope this returns to the Steam store 🤞🏻

[@jamesa800]

Blur for Steam - so jealous

[@danbrittain9530]

Blur was fantastic, no idea why it didn't do well. I still play it nowadays. Redout is great too, especially in VR. Love the dynamic soundtrack too. 👍

[@buzzy-ears]

Blur is such a fun game

[@pablobg6823]

Dude, you have the best video games videos ever. thank you.

[@theoldpainless4456]

But...but...where's hydro thunder hurricane???? 😁. Awesome games and since i discovered them on your channel, i do prefer split second over blur...but both games are a joy to play. For a change you could try, since you're on an emulation kick with the deck, neo drift out for the neo geo...amazing top down/isometric racing game. Thx for the vid man as always.

[@zackmorris1419]

How did you get a Blur pc key? Ive always said its one of the best racing games I played, but missed out on it before it was removed from Steam

[@Bambeakz]

Blur has a mod with online. Could use more players :) My Steamdeck is full of older PC racegames and all modded with graphics packs and extra options : Race Driver Grid (2008) with Life career mod .. So Amazing ! Cannonball Outrun Outrun 2006 widescreen NFS Most wanted 2005 /Underground 2/ Carbon (Redux mods) MotoGP 07 Re-Volt Screamer 2 and Rally Sega Rally Revo Driver San Franciso Yup i love my Steamdeck :D

[@itsmecallyc]

I love the graphics of Buck Up and Drive, gives me a mix of Outrun but also Jet Set Radio too!

[@MrJechgo]

Did MJR ever reveal why he likes racing games so much? Is it the speed? A discovered cherished game in his childhood? A tribute to his favorite sport? I’m genuinely curious 😉

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Cannonball Run (1981). That black Lamborghini Countach ignited something in me as a kid 😎

[@shadownet_nft]

Buck up and drive looks like a cell shaded stunt racer, come on man we can't be selling that kind of experience to modern gamers. I love Blur by the way, that is quality racing right there. Thanks for your reviews dude.

[@FFontes]

Ayo, dev for Buck Up And Drive! here, thanks for the shoutout!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Absolutely! Super fun game that gets more crazy when you start to bash into cars (which I admittedly am not good at yet) 🤘

[@FFontes]

@@MetalJesusRocks The path to mastering CARate is long and arduous... ... but it's funny when it go YEET! :V

[@stevefulkerson4995]

Would love some Steam hidden gems videos

[@TheLastLineLive]

Ridge Racer Unbound is actually pretty fun. Definitely flopped because of the name, since it has a lot more in common with Burnout than Ridge Racer. And Blur probably failed because people that like Need For Speed and people that like Mario Kart don't really have much overlap. And be sure to upload your custom controller binds you did for Slipstream, that will probably help out other folks potentially. You have to put in at least 1 hour of gameplay for it to give you the option.

[@mauryj.3415]

The Steam Deck is godlike, the handheld of my Dreams

[@n8ivegogo1]

You know it’s Friday when you see a NEW MetalJesusRocks Upload‼️😁 Thank you kind sir👍

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Rock on!

[@eggfinallap]

Unbounded is incredibly stylized and creative. I had fun with it. Namco should be applauded for pursuing something different instead of recycling the nitrous formula for the millionth time.

[@scrub_jay]

MJR, I share your passion for arcade racers, and there's a game I think you would love called Slipstream (no relation to Slipstream 5000). It's basically a new take on the Outrun formula, complete with Super Scaler-style graphics. It has an awesome sense of speed and modern QOL features such as rewind that give it a leg up on the original Outrun. It came out in 2016 I believe, but just recently released for Switch as well.

[@RealziesCuts]

You must be psychic, Got my pre-order in last week

[@versatilelord8893]

Is this blur playing through emulation or natively through a pc game launcher?

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Proton emulation

[@BrianMills198686]

Suggestions on how to get BLUR for PC in 2022?

[@hilo558]

Split Second should've been in this list.

[@BenRitter]

Just bought Buck Up on your recommendation. This is hilarious.

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Can’t wait to be able to pick up a steam deck looks like the best “pc” based console for myself

[@T0m0zuki]

Wow, Slipstream! I remember that one from the golden era.

[@SoundChristianMusic]

Blur is so underrated

[@lucasandrescosta391]

With Dolphin you basically have a portable Gamecube, nice to see you getting into emulation. You should try upscaling the game too, games from that era look really good when upscaled.

[@debas3d]

I'm so ready for F-Zero GX on it. My preorder should be coming up within the week!

[@krazycharlie]

Perfect timing with your video, MetalJesus! Why, you ask? Well, Steam Summer Sale just kicked off and there's a ton of games for dirt-cheap, racing ones included. I always make a point of playing NFS Underground at least twice a year, be on my laptop or my PS2. While I hate drag races to my bones, I'm basically the Drift King! Or at least I am in my mind. Have a good one!

Great recomendations! Question, where can I find the game "Blur"? I can't find it in the steam store. Liked and subscribed.

[@Glic2000]

That reminds me; have you ever played Thumper? It's not exactly a racing game, more like a rhythm game. You might enjoy it, and it's on sale for just a few bucks. Works good on Steam Deck.

[@Fablemahn]

More Steam Deck videos!!

[@RetroHellspawn]

If you want something like Need for Speed Underground, something of a "hidden gem" on Steam is a game called Street Racing Syndicate. It's a bit sexist with how they have "girlfriends" as literal in-game achievements, but if you turn off the in-game music and throw on your own music (the in-game music is pretty horrible), the gameplay is where it's at. I was blown away when I first played it, shocked by how well they captured the customization aspect of Need for Speed Underground. It also has a more modern control scheme (for that era), so it allows for using analog triggers for acceleration on PC. It was also on consoles, but it's currently 60 cents on Steam.

[@RegulationGamingHP]

Buck up and drive has a wild multiplayer mode where it turns it into a fighting game

[@Mjblazer84]

My longest gaming binge ever was playing underground 2 on ps2…16 hours

[@The_Garage_Gamer]

Where is blur on the steam store? I don’t see it available for purchase

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Delisted. Check out the pinned comment on this video and I explain more.

[@t.k.3862]

When covering Buck Up And Drive, you forgot to mention the mode called Shifty Gear. It’s a mode where you and either a second player or a computer opponent are speeding down an endless, traffic-free stretch of road, and you battle each other with the tricks. I believe the name is a play on “Guilty Gear.”

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I have not tried that yet, but it sounds hilarious.

[@duhsbo]

I remember playing underground on my toaster computer in 15 fps back in the day and having a blast with it

Check out BallisticNG, it's love letter to early WipEout, especially the XL/2097.
