A time when arcade hardware was *actually more powerful than console and even PC hardware*

[@bluedragon9925]

This is something a lot of people forget nowadays. Back in the 90's and early 2000's, high end arcade boards like the Sega Model 1, 2 and 3 were so far ahead of what home consoles and even Gaming PC's could achieve at the time that pretty much the only devices capable of 3D graphics that were more powerful than them were high end SGI workstations, CGI render farms and NASA supercomputers!

[@wreckloosecibblecaboot]

Not 100% true.. it took specially designed DEV-PC's to make these Arcade games, But those PC's were not for sale as a consumer product! Sources say 1 of those DEV-PC's if bought "privately" aka for other Arcade game companies to use* was around 12 thousand to 16 thousand. PC's were always the master race even back then as they are now.

[@bluedragon9925]

@@wreckloosecibblecaboot By "gaming PC's" I meant *consumer grade* PC's meant specifically for gaming. Obviously, developer PC's (which SGI workstations were often used as) are a whole other ball game. So my point technically still stands.

[@thaiden03]

Daytona conveys the best sense of speed in any racer. The way the car rattles. Why cant modern games do this???

[@haaxxx9]

Because now it's the more "OH LOOK HOW REALISTIC THIS IS WOW!" than having originally. Yes, it's good to have games that looks realistic but you're going to miss some character or charm into the mix. Going to talk about cars racing games for a moment excuse me... -Look at Automobilista, cel-shaded, Still looks great today! Unfortunately the US version physics kinda sucks compared to the Japanese release. -Ridge racer series, looks kinda shiny tbh but it have it's own theme going. All ridge racer installments are worth looking into, even the recent ones. (But I will say I do not like Type 4. 30fps, car handling is confusing for me, fuck the announcer.) -Daytona USA series, 1/2 are timeless classic, the remake is ass tbh lazy as hell. -Sega rally series, Surprise all of them are good, 2 is my favorite thought even though I didn't play it a lot. -(2008) Grid, it looks griddy (Sorry I can't resist) but the gameplay is versatile and have a lot of themes going for to play that game on hours on end! 2 is not as fun and the remake is incomplete making the reboot a hard pass for me. -Need for speed, It's need for speed. Always have it's up's and down's with each installment. Also the fandom is beyond recovery. -Enthusia professional racing, Crazy because it's better than GT4 as terms for physics and also this game is unique with it's diversity of cars, tracks and music. -Speaking of the Gran Turismo games, 1-4 are still enjoyable all around too! 5-6 are... Not that great and Sport is... Scummy. -Forza Motorsports 2-4. The ammount of effort is amazing in those 360 games. 5-7 just feels quite hollow and not that exiting. Horizon is good for all games but the peak for me was at 3, 4 is samy and I feel like the series will be CoD at this point... Or it's already have. -Maric Kart, still making friendship end dramatically c': -Fuck 8 tho- -The crew series, Was expecting to hate on it. Turns out if you have a dedicated racing wheel and just want a nice arcade fun traveling around the USA than boom. Game for you. I know I am missing some here, but that's all I have for now!

[@black.phoenix.]

So many memories I had of this one. Played for 3 years, during 10 days each year (It was on a Arcade Saloon in the Holiday region I always gone as vacations when I was a teenager). First year was for learning, second year I beat the Speed Record on Beginner Track, and in the Third Finish 1st beating the Speed Record again and Track Record on Beginner Track. So if she wasn't reset, there are a Arcade machine in Portugal that still have the memories of my summer days (The Arcade Saloon closed like 2 years after the last time I've been there)...

DC was powerful enough to do Naomi (almost) but Model 3 was too powerful to replicate - as demonstrated by VF3TB and Sega Rally 2. Just like SCUD Race though, they could have at least tried, eh?

[@KhushbuMel]

​@@NeoGeoNinja81 Model 3 was silly powerful yes, but VF3 TB and Sega Rally 2 are bad examples. VF3TB was a launch title and the port was handled by a third party (Genki). Sega Rally 2 was a test bed for Windows CE to show devs that the DC was easy to program for. Windows CE was a bit of a resource hog. Virtual On Oratorio Tangram looked and ran VERY well; probably one of the best ports. The potential was there to make great ports. I guess the timing was bad. Outside of emulation, these games are lost to arcade history. Biggest letdown was that SCUD Race / Super GT was never ported. I believe some kind of port was being used as a tech demo for Dreamcast too. Wonder if the emulation community ever got hold of it.
