I played the BEST Racing Games of all time, but their specifically their PSP spin-off games. How do theme games compare to their PS2/PC counterparts?

Midnight Club 3 on the psp was unreal they basically ported the whole game over from the console version

[@denisaljic]

Yea was amazing for it's time. Midnight Club 3 was just a reskinned midnight club 2.

[@rayyagamer2011]

But it had a side effect of not having a damage model,but i honestly didnt mind it

[@gavinstarke1184]

MC3 is the best PSP racing game 🎉

[@phawxhunter]

The framerate though...

Carbon Own The City on PSP was the best NFS on handheld and I'll stand on that

[@gudnytX]

W. Undercover came close but the AI sucked

[@YOEL_44]

​@@gudnytXIf they had finished implementing freeroaming and added something at all to explore, maybe, as it is, is just infuriating and half a55ed, sorry.

[@tibcsikid5775]

Pro street was also a really decent title on the psp

[@mtklegend100]

Facts, I'll stand with you on that

[@jonathanabad6532]

Hell naw, nfs umderground rivals is og, thats a fact

[@R3D_Lantern]

Today is also the 18th anniversary of the PSP's release date.

[@YOEL_44]

Carbon Own the City for the PSP is an absolutely outstanding game with a huge open world. I've been working on a retexture for it for years and damn that thing can look shiny with a new coat of paint.

[@wedasantika6079]

How's compared to PC version?

[@YOEL_44]

@wedasantika6079 If you already have a PC the best thing you can do is try it, get PPSSPP and in no time you'll be enjoying this masterpiece. But to try and answer you actual question, there are many limitations: - No Speedbreaker, no pursuit breakers. - Customization is just bodykits, carbon hood, spoilers, wheels, side decals, crew tags, car and wheel colors and glass tint. - Performance doesn't have specific settings, you can just install a better or a worse part of each kind. - There are no challenges, canyons or drift events, and there is no posibility of unlocking special vehicles like the firetruck or hidden pre-customized cars. - The city is just a tweaked Rockport with simplified assets. But there are also some specific goodies: - 100 hidden object for you to collect in the open world. - A bunch of team members (maybe around 20) with all the kinds of cars and powerups you might need, and you can have 2 enabled at the same time. - New kinds of events and a revamped police chase system, I specially like the fact that you can see the health of their vehicles, allowing you to plan ahead while escaping or hunting other cars. - A new story with new characters that do not appear in any other NFS, but still happens all in the same universe. I'm sure there are more differences, but I think this is enough to figure out how if you might like it or not.

PSP Carbon was my first racing game

[@YOEL_44]

Lucky you, not a bad place to start from!!

[@zinidinerahman4168]

@@YOEL_44 I remember I randomly stumbled across a PSP in a cupboard draw in my house in 2012 and under it was NFS Carbon otc. It must've been one of my dad's younger brother's PSPs because I was born in 2004 and was a damn toddler when the PSP was popular. Anyway shortly after playing it a bit the bloody machine broke and stopped working out of nowhere. So my dad decided to replace it by buying me a PS Vita instead with NFS Most Wanted. My PS Vita served me well for almost a decade (2020 it stopped working) but one thing I regret is not redownloading Carbon own the city on the Vita to try and finish it at least.. oh well

[@YOEL_44]

@@zinidinerahman4168 PPSSPP, you got it both for Android and for Windows, with a cheap gamepad you're ready to continue your playthrough, altho you might also want a Memory Stick to USB adapter to recover your old save.

Fun fact: Burnout Legends started off as an attempt to port of Burnout 3 for PSP. As for Theo's question about playing multiplayer on PSP, the only experiences I had were two rounds of Dissidia 012, and a whole lot of Tekken 6.

I wasn’t expecting a PSP video 😮

[@xraider927]

9:58 Saturn is a defunct brand from General Motors, it's more like Scion, Eagle, or similar. And they even have a Saturn Astra which is the North American spec of the Opel/Vauxhall Astra, the Saturn Sky, is a US Version of the Opel GT.

[@petergriffin3194]

what is scion or eagle...

[@danshogun1237]

I recently refurbished my old PsP 1000 and honestly it’s been a blast to play these games again 😎

[@byeagleesp]

Great video Theo! One thing I want to point out... You MISSED the most important part of Gran Turismo PSP which are the actual events. The events are both licenses and Driving Missions. Fun fact, i'm currently working hibrid going to the office by train a couple times a week and I'm playing Gran Turismo PSP on the way to the office every time it's a blast!!!

[@eyb0ss]

Carbon Own The City brings back memories for sure, raced on multiplayer in a clan. Shoutout to the OG's from The PSP Demo Center, it was a blast to race all the way to the end when they shut the servers down.

[@bhardnavares5903]

One thing that I really love about the PSP is that it does racing games really really well. Most of the racing games I've played on an emulator and on real hardware (PSP 2000), just feels so right. DS racing games though...some are good but many of them just felt off...

[@blackmario903]

Hot take: Midnight club LA remix was better than the console version, Midnight club LA!!!! The addition of the Tokyo map was a brilliant move !!!

[@kassperplus]

Nah I prefer the console version, psp is basically midnight club 2 maps except paris with missions from real game

[@someonesuspicious947]

psp Verizon is horrendous, you can just emulate the 360 version, or just emulate midnight club 3

[@Muhluri]

As someone who beat the PSP version 3 times, I disagree. Both versions are good, but you can tell they cut corners on the PSP version

[@blackmario903]

I played the psp version before the console version, beaten both of them more times than I can remember and I agree with all the points here, yes they reused assets from MC2 but the Tokyo map being on the psp version makes it so much better for me , yes it feels less polished than the console version but it was never meant to be a direct port of the main game, the hardware simply wouldn’t run it 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ You can even argue they’re both different games and you wouldn’t be wrong but i feel it’s more fun on the psp version , it’s not at all perfect, niether is the console version, they both have issues but for what we got, it’s a damn good game that still holds up, and we all wish we got rockstar to make another midnight club :)

[@kentonbrewer3232]

I recently got my PSP up and running again and it's been a blast! Just got done with a playthrough of NFSU Rivals. I was very surprised at home much content there was for a 2004 portable game. I just started a playthrough of Street Supremacy and it's been an adjustment for me as I've never played through a TXR game before this one, but I'm looking forward to it! Being from the US and growing up with PSP, my favorite was probably NASCAR. Pretty much a full port of NASCAR 07 that i spent many, many hours on. I would love to see more videos like this one on different consoles. I haven't tried many racing games on PS Vita but I know the Switch racing library features some good ones and is expanding all the time!

[@NeedForMadnessAuto]

THANK YOU for mentioning Juiced Eliminator

[@Streetw1s3r]

I remember with Gran Turismo PSP, it came out before GT5 and they had a thing where your cars from GT PSP could transfer over to GT5 once it released. So you'd grind like crazy on PSP and buy all the cars and then you'd have them all when you started GT5.

[@pokewheels]

Deffo going to have to dig my psp out and get playing some of these games super excited

[@MrFern21]

Just got my PSP on Friday. Such a good variety of racing games!

[@Kouki240sx]

Honestly one of the best things I did last year was pick up a PSVita from CEX for about £80 and jailbroke it. I can play PSP/VITA and other emulated games. What's crazy is how much mod support it's getting from the community to keep it alive, well worth looking into.

[@speedster8138]

I still have my PSP 3004 with Gran Turismo and NFS Carbon Own the city... I played NFS a ton as a child and even more but GT as a teenager, and even now I love to hop on it. For a PSP game, GT offered a ton of tuning options, you can enable advanced physcis, It's so fun to play around with especially when you have such a big variety of race cars: LMP, F1, DTM, JGTC, Drift cars, exclusives. I genuinely can't find a game as realistic and high quality for the hardwareas it but for PC, I'm thinking about getting GT7 (idk if my PS4 slim will handle it)

[@feycee]

The PSP version of CARBON was using the map of the PC version of 1st Most Wanted. it was stunning.

You could do races on the wangan (Tokyo expressway) as well run touge drift battle against all the people in the movie as well as plenty of made up racers for the game. Even Brian and Dom are in the game. I enjoyed that game more than NFS Carbon because of the amount of cars and real life customization parts you could put on each car. You should really look in to playing it or viewing it. There’s plenty of features I didn’t even mention and this game came out right when Carbon did.

[@rewolucjanek8561]

I felt like most of the NFS games on PSP were recycling too much assets - like most wanted, carbon and undercover had different modes (and also open world in Carbon) but the physics and sound effects made it feel too similar during actual gameplay. The one completely different was Shift - i loved the way cars could drift on the corners, the terrifying nitrous that could lead you to disaster making your car unstable, the weather effects. It lacked customization (there were some bodykits, but you needed to grind a lot with one car to unlock it) and there was no open world, but races alone made me love this game (it could be, that my vision is blurred by the fact, that it was my first PSP game, but my point still stands). Also it was completely different from the PC version.
