omg thats why i recently bought it again. THis was my first game on ps1 i got a ps1 and this on xmas day. me, dad and mom had to move to a cold , vacant house owned by a friend who was away because xmas eve we had a storm and the roof bascially blew off our house. We made the best out of it and was my favorite xmas to date. I went to a friends house christmas day and came back and mom had a bunch of money saved up for me so i could buy cars LOL! sadly both parents have sinced passed but this game means a lot to me . Glad we could share our similar stories !!

[@KiranTaker270]

Raise your hand if you want a remastered version of rage racer? I grew up playing this game with my older brother

[@loopylad4722]

The only sad thing is everything from cosmetics to car upgrades to tracks would be tied behind some form of pay wall and you'd still be expected to pay full price for the game.

[@bryantnonya8704]

They have remastered this game somewhat on the PSP but I would love to see a proper remaster with analog controls!!

[@pokepat4433]

Raises hand I really wanna see this on the ps5

[@Miss_NatashaO]

Love this game! Brings back mad memories!

[@ryanoneill9710]

I grew up playing this game with my older brother also

[@randyerickson2154]

I would love to see this game remastered.

[@HarlekinEO]

any new Ridge Racer would be great

[@nichtsowichtig1630]

@@HarlekinEO a new ridge racer exist but its bad. or better the game 2016

[@grahamevans9296]

It would be great but I doubt it - if memory serves me correct, I don't think Rage Racer sold that well back in 1996/1997. That being said, I'd love them to remaster the game but still keep the spirit of the original, may be even add some new tracks and cars. The music still holds up good for 25 years.

[@83moonchild]

@@grahamevans9296 I remember I used to just listen to the soundtrack when this first came out I was like 14/15 I loved it. My parents not so much 🙄

[@bettygiselle3252]

but with the same music

[@pvfckev8348]

The tunes on this game were banging

[@purwantiallan5089]

2024 its still a masterpiece alongside Ridge Racer Type 4.

[@RHINOWINOLUNATIC]

That music on switching on the PS1 still gives me goosebumps after nearly 30 years

[@purwantiallan5089]

Rage Racer in terms of soundtracks, still far better than songs from Gran Turismo 7.

Dont forget this also: PERFECT! YOU GOT A GOLD TROPHY!

[@jmar1973]

I remember being a 24 year old, buying this game 🎮 and being amazed...Thinking that it would never,EVER get better than this,and being totally satisfied with that. Thanks for the throwback!👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

lol man, I was about 14 when I discovered this game and would spend hours getting really good at it. I too can remember thinking that this was the pinnacle of graphics.

[@omniultima4747]

I remember this game used to be so realistic AF when I was a kid.

[@joelggundam]

Same! That waterfall looked rather impressive.

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@joelggundamdespite Rage Racer dont have track maps as well.

[@dwindeyer]

For me, this was the first game on PSX that really felt like I was playing an arcade game at home, especially when in first person view.

[@nexxusty]

Well said. Same here. I played the crap out of Rage Racer.

[@dmitrivalencia]

its because of this game that started my passion for driving :-)

[@eS2daBe]

It's the final lap. Keep it coooool

[@philbraybrooke27]

i remember playing this a lot when i was a teenager, music is great

[@Loader2K1]

I played this a lot in my teens and I even own a copy of the game, but I never beat it. I had issues with the more expensive and transmission-restricted cars, some of the later races, and the repetitiveness of the game itself.

[@karelpipa]

@@Loader2K1 i never beat level 6 in the extra GP. :(

[@Miss_NatashaO]

I didn't either. I didn't get past the 4th class!

[@santosoaries]

One of the best racing game I ever played in the 90s... Nice graphics back then...

[@matthewmann7713]

Played this when it first came out. My generation went from mega drive and snes to this! Looking back knowing what I know, they actually looked liked cars to us back then. The absolute lack of textures and shaders is laughable now but they honestly looked good at the time!

[@Ejr82u]

Tough game to beat also took me about a yr

[@deskawa]

Doing the previous longplay of this game took me more than a month and it ended up being quite a mess in many respects, so I'm glad the game finally has what it deserves. Now that I'm watching you play in the 6th class stages I can't understand how did I found it so incredibly challenging. I guess that I tried too hard with the drifting? That 6th class was one of the best racing game experiences ever for me, doing so many curves at a super high speed was something special. Gj and thanks for sharing!

[@tattymagoo]

Oh my god! I have been looking for this game for years! I used to play this at school every day! Nostalgia alert!!!

[@autumnsorchard7435]

At school? How?

[@vergeofchaos]

lol you played it at school?

[@undeadmakeoutclub5040]

Probably forgot to add in “After” but instead said “at”

[@creativename2697]

this video represents the feel when nostalgia rolls you over with a fucking truck. awesome.

[@karelpipa]

Brilliant game with brilliant dark atmosphere :) If only it had more tracks.

[@karelpipa]

btw. Assoluto Fatalità and Gnade Esperanza FTW :)

[@purwantiallan5089]

RAGE RACER is an incredible game.

[@mardo305]

I played this on the demo disc. It was awesome

[@AudiTrivium]

Dude, you always take me back to the classic games I use to play. Always amazes me (tear drop) thank you. :P

[@pgr3290]

1:06 the feels......

[@Hulkfly]

I played this game so much when I was like 5/6 years old back in 1997, absolutely loved this. Never got that far in the game though wont lie lol that 1st track is pretty much inbedded in my head lmao

[@mnuttall]

I played it to death in '97...and I was 27!

[@Thegamer89Bond]

Don't mind me watching this game again and I still love this game so much :)

[@philadams9254]

Still get a heart attack watching that extreme oval.

[@Si74l0rd]

One of relatively few games that really gives the feeling of speed and recklessness, particularly since it was all D pad, so super smooth analog curves weren't possible. The oval with the top car was really hectic!

[@philadams9254]

@@Si74l0rd Yeah man, no margin for error at all. One wrong move and it was all over!

[@Petep87]

My god this was my first game on my ps1 many many many years ago.. Even soul blade I had aswell.. Damn I wish I can go back 😢

[@Ryuhei64]

What a difference in presentation between this third game and the two previous ones. Starting with Rage Racer, the series would have intros, stylish menus, many more options... Compare Rage and Type 4 with the barebones package of the first two titles, they really upped their game!

[@Thegamer89Bond]

Thanks man for showing us all Rage Racer and it was a lot of fun as well ;)

[@jamesdunphy2696]

Loved this game. I remember you could take turns at or near full speed. Always felt the games that game after like GT were clunky feeling (certainly more realistic in having to really brake to make turns). This was my fav.

[@Si74l0rd]

Man i want to play this again so bad! I had hundreds of hours of saves in my memory card lol. Started playing in auto and got to the last levels and realised I needed to start again learning how to race in manual to use the final cars. Then you got to do everything again with the tracks reversed. The music is just as good as I remember too!

[@mustakim233]

Omg this is my childhood gameplay! So much nostlagic memories :') i wish they would remake this

[@glenngriffon8032]

This was the first really serious racing game i played. There had been other racing games of course, I'm an 80's baby. I grew up with Pole Position and racers that were on the NES that i can't remember but I always preferred platforming and adventure games, this was the first really serious racer i ever played and seeing the seaside city its set in from all the different angles really made me wish i could boundary break and go explore the world of the game. I also played this with my mom and half brother a lot and it was one of few games that we all bonded over. I still play it infrequently using my ps1 emulator.

[@Eunos_FD3S]

That selection music is ingrained in my brain.

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

How was I supposed to know that these were the last few years of stability before I'd spend the rest of my life fighting the demon.

[@AlessandroVanzan]

When Valentino Rossi was secretly driving for Lizard before his 125cc debut in 1996 Ahahahahah! Jokes apart, wonderful game, absolutely love it! Thank you very much for your long play, and for all the time you have spent on it, really appreciate. Evergreen hands down.

[@joyadurchoudhury9127]

Would lov to see this re-released in HD! I still listen to the tunes sometimes in the car, wen I’m on the motorway!

[@jeremyriley1238]

Rage Racer sounds like what Speed Racer would be called if he turned evil.

[@JadeJuniper-ys8jd]

@Khristian4444StudioEntertainment That looks like a refrence of Speed Race, is it a kids show in 1960s or no???

[@mikaknight1855]

Okay ! Final lap !

Many memories of this game thanks for the video

[@Sebastianmaz615]

Holy Shite, this is the game I remember playing back in 2000 on a borrowed PlayStation! I thought the game graphics were so damn awesome & they were back then. Now I look @ this & think that just looks old. Good memories though.

[@alefernandez9725]

Here is what I was expecting from this Game, a Longplay Playthrough with All Characters, and now I have it

[@bobobahia]

I used to love being able to customize the logos and images on the card and the road signs. This was my favorite ps1 game. The soundtrack, the dark visuals, the physics, the limited but so well-detailed tracks. Honestly, it was perfect. They should remaster it as it is.

[@Loader2K1]

I used to play Rage Racer a lot in my teen years during the late '90s, but I never beat it. I always hated the fact that some cars could only be raced in manual transmission only (sorry, but I don't do shifting up and down in racing games), the fact that some races were so hard that you had to go back and CONSTANTLY race easier races to win money, plus the flaws that Mad-Matt has already highlighted. I still like this game, though, but I think Namco could have done a better job with Rage Racer. I wonder if you World of Longplays guys will do a playthrough of R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 in the near future.

[@AmigaOmega]

It's already done! R4 upped a few months ago. ;)

[@Loader2K1]

Oh. Thanks for clarifying.

[@EthanMountaineering]

This game is a masterpiece and amazing EDM.

25 years ago this was my favorite game. the only thing i hated was that puckup truck, really hard to overtake, it was like a ghost truck.

[@mar1lon4]

I remember always waiting for my brother to come home to watch him play this game. He was always the one to do the hard missions. Nowa days I have to hold his hand so he doesn't die so quick on warzone hahaha

But... nobody is actually angry in this game

[@JRob1125]

"Too baaaad, YOU BLEW IT! Better luck next time.....Game Over 🙃" Hilariously condescending. One of my favorite of all time.

[@donnagray6075]

Man this game brings back so many memories playing this with family we would sit and play it for hours everyday . I want to buy a PlayStation 1 and the game Now just to bring back the good old days and the soundtrack was banging and I still remember everything that the lady says when you are playing. Also I hope they would remastered it one day so you can play it on PS5 . But I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

[@euanrouch3050]

Here's hoping this game doesn't end up being blocked by this Victor Entertainment embargo on games.

[@XanthinZarda]

I have some bad news. That's some straight up lyrical music!

[@jeremyriley1238]

True, but their copyright strikes end up being false, and KZbin just does it on the account of they don't want t be sued.

PS1 brought home arcade style 3D. Saturn failed to do that

[@djayricky]

I used to play my own cd's in the play station before each race started

[@brudel001]

Played this to death. Only sad thing is that there were no cool secret cars or anything. By completing the game with no overtuned cars you just get golden logo and extra music track but thats it.

[@geromelobo5970]

Mythical Coast, Union Hill District, Lakeside Parkway, and Extreme Oval once takes a rebooted tracks from the PSP version (Ridge Racer and 2); took me a greatest nostalgic ever.
