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 :)

[@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?

[@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

[@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.

[@BlacksiteMongrels]

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

[@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

[@smashmaster13]

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.

[@fpsoftdev]

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

[@TwistedIdentity]

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

[@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.

[@samothsamoth69]

You’re right. i’m a racing game developer and licence for car brands are limited in time by the contract. Some publishers renew the contract if the game is still successful. That’s why NFS still sells its old games.

[@nicklen6873]

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

[@dandiaz19934]

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

[@arkaikan]

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

[@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.

[@rcp225]

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

[@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!

[@ashutoshJMJK]

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

[@MetalJesusRocks]

You know it! 🤘

[@TheMultiGunMan]

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

[@philh3041]

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

[@itsmecallyc]

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

[@morebasheder]

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...

[@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.

[@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.

[@lukass64]

I just got Ridge Racer Unbound I LOVE it! I can see how it takes getting used to but it run so damn well on the deck, it is hard to put down! Thank you for the recommendations!

[@karasu0abdon]

Its always a joy to see that the metal jesus put up another video you are awesome and thanks for all your excellent content

[@MetalJesusRocks]

My pleasure! Thanks buddy

[@doom3380]

Getting my steam deck in q4. I'm excited and hoping for future steam deck videos from you 😃👍

[@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

[@Thelostrune]

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

[@silverian]

Nice way to start weekend!

[@Amarucide]

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

[@pablobg6823]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@BenRitter]

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

[@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 👍

[@Joe-Rad]

Dang I want a Steam Deck lol. Really looking forward to Redout 2!! Cool video dude.

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Never heard of ridge racer unbound but that looks amazing, had me at the split second comparison

[@IRWPD]

Never heard of Ridge Racer Unbounded. Will have to check that one out.

[@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

[@webnameking]

Great bunch of games. If you’re interested in these I’d suggest Insane 2 for off road arcade racing and Renegade Ops for a racing top down arcade shooter

[@debas3d]

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

[@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.

[@leecroft7311]

I have just ordered the oled 1tb variation, can't wait till it arrives !!!

[@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!

[@RealziesCuts]

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

[@n8ivegogo1]

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

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Rock on!

[@_The_Worst_]

These are some wicked awesome looking racing games, fo sho...🤘🏼💯✔️

[@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?

[@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.

[@patdergamer3960]

Greetings from Austria /Vienna ! You are so Awesome !

[@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. 👍

[@drunkenbarrel1012]

I definitely recommend Distance. Really really good driving game.

[@Loafmeister]

Horizon Chase Turbo is an absolutely awesome modern-retro style arcade racer. Also I haven't tried it yet but Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast should be a must play on the deck, hope it works!

[@zachross8081]

hey metal jesus I love the videos

[@Jiterdomer]

MetalJesus is on the Steam Deck train

[@kuruptein]

Ahh the metal the jesus the racing games..some of my favorites are excitable obviously. Waverace 64. And the new riptide for the switch is surprisingly good. Thanks for the content and offering me that iphone13! Lol gunning for you Riggs Reggie and Hancock! Lets play!

[@Fablemahn]

More Steam Deck videos!!

[@marccarter1350]

I am not shocked to see you playing racing games. Would love to see how Amy of the Dirt 2 rally games play

[@dtwelve2086]

another Alloy Hesus video, lets go 🎸 🥁

[@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.

[@rmgb-tv]

There's a space combat game set in the Redout universe as well, I've been meaning to check it out for a while.

[@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.

[@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.

[@xJunioRxIII]

Redout reminds me of one of my favorite racing games on the PS2 XGIII: Extreme G Racing

[@BrenR]

My Steam Deck finally shipped yesterday! Cannot wait. Like you, I haven't had a gaming PC, so it'll be amazing to play all these games. Already purchased Final Fantasy VII Remake 8)

[@T0m0zuki]

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

[@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.

[@KabukiKid]

Cool to hear Split/Second get mentioned... I feel that is a very underrated arcade racer. Very fun game. Back on the PS3, it was also basically the only racer I could find with split-screen action... for some fun couch-play competition to play with my boyfriend. :-)

[@jasonmeister6988]

With EMUDECK my steamdeck became a time machine. So many good racing games also

[@elimalinsky7069]

Check out Distance. It's a futuristic neon racer where you have to survive to the finish line against various obstacles. It's pretty dope.

[@DanTheGamesMan]

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

[@JayP119871969]

Metal Jesus another awesome video thank you 🙏 How’s the battery life better than the switch ?

[@leeroy4022]

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

[@rionugroho1403]

Redout looks amazing! 😍

[@duhsbo]

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

[@DankerTVTimeCapsule]

Redout was given away a few weeks ago on epic and with it, it comes with a vr mode certainly makes it interesting.

[@E_Sunbro]

I’ve been playing Forza Horizon 5 on my Steam Deck and it’s been mostly great. I’ve had to do some Proton tweaking to keep it from crashing, but when it works; it works really well. Solid 30FPS with a mix of High/Medium settings makes it a real showcase for what the Deck is capable of.

[@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 😎

[@stevefulkerson4995]

Would love some Steam hidden gems videos

[@lilBugger35]

I'm in Q3!! Can't wait!!!!

[@RegulationGamingHP]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@acecarrera1]

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

[@matzeselloggs2392]

Flatout 2 - mega fun on the DECK

[@Pique12]

What proton to use for blur? After changing the disk I forgot what I used because the basic performance sometimes dropped and did not work movies.

[@salinaember9527]

Yo metal jesus there's this ps1 racing game called Nascar Rumble. Not sure if you've ever mentioned it, but it was a childhood favorite of mine and very mario kart-like. And i totally feel you on NFS underground. NFS Underground 2 was my personal jam though. And Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition. really wish those style of games would make a comeback.

[@wiredupretro]

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

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Indeed it is!

[@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 🤞🏻

[@saldanamoreno]

I would like to see a video highlighting some of the RPG’s of note. Mostly from like the GC PS2 Xbox era that’s on the steam deck.

[@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.

[@ThatGamingGuyfromthe70s]

Victory Heat Rally is a must if you like arcade racers, its a bit like power drift. The demo is on Steam. I really enjoyed Pacer, its basically Wipeout with another name.

[@FortuneHunters]

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

[@AyratHungryStudent]

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

[@rganpat741]

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

[@KabukiKid]

"...a couple of minutes or two." LOL I need to start using that. :-)

[@mauryj.3415]

The Steam Deck is godlike, the handheld of my Dreams

[@ginmit3383]

Could you help shed some light on how you got to install and play Blur? (Fresh install/buy). I had this on the Xbox eons ago and this took me back seeing your footage.

[@jimmymyers]

nail'd is a great game that runs on Steam Deck, kinda like Motorstorm but only ATVs and MX bikes. It's on sale on Steam rn for 99 cents.

[@arvinrunstein5707]

Did you tailor this just for me? I mean seriously I jsut got my steam deck last Saturday and this has been in my mind.
