Running High, an obscure PS1 racing game

In the distant future of 2014 AD humanity has fused man and machine for one purpose.
That purpose is to run really fast and slide around corners.

Too bad they missed the chance to call this "Man Turismo: The real running simulator"

[@canalcomnomeretardado4337]

Yeah XD

[@SpiralPegasus]

Best comment, I literally lol'd

[@SpikerDragon95]

THAT COMMENT

[@aliultimate009]

With rocket boosters and sliding on asphalt like nobody's problem - running at full speed with those armors for 4 mins straight at speeds that can match cars ... yeah seems legit 🤣

[@SaturnJap]

The running animation is still really convincing and even better than those of many modern games.

[@Renegaiden_]

This would have been a great counter alternative to Sonic R if this wasn't so obscure.

[@ConversusVans]

Picture Pepsiman in this game.

[@SolidSonicTH]

This seems conceptually good, actually. I should download this and put it in my PSP.

[@fatmat1701]

so basicly when the race cars break down they just race on foot

[@Techoni]

"In the distant future of 2014 AD humanity has fused man and machine for one purpose. " And now its 2019 and we have small automatic robotic vacum cleaners :D

[@ghegs]

Indeed, why hasn't anyone created "Roomba Racing" yet?

[@nikobellic2788]

We are in 2019

[@CapSodaPop]

@@ghegs Only Drone Racing so far....

[@aortaplatinum]

Damn, the team that made this should team up with Tt Games [previously Traveler's Tales] and SEGA to make a new Sonic R, shit would be sick.

[@RedFlameFox]

Basically Wipeout on foot lol

[@nikobellic2788]

LMAO!

[@Aerosplinter]

Back when the 90s were futuristic AF!

[@Is-wunny]

I imagine this Game having a sequel/Remaster, with Plus DLC runners, like The Flash, Sonic, Captain Falcon and maybe Another that i haven't figured out lol

[@cookiemetmilk]

Damn, this brings back memories. I used to love this game waaay back when I still had the old PS1.

[@LJW1912]

The music in the first stage sounds very much like the first stage of Dracula X...

[@loyaltyman2000]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yeesss! Another fantastic foot racing game for the PS1. Thank you for this amazing video game upload ghegs!

[@carlosvinhas4266]

this was an awesome game and really obscure

[@CagedPhoenixThe1st]

They really need to start taking more chances on video games again 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@compellingpeople]

Good ost, and that was close call at the end there.

[@Loveistheirwholehapp]

I thought this game was awful until I heard the main theme. Thank you so much for playing it.

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

wow the future

[@constipatedparker5879]

In 2014 we will have flying cars 2014:

[@trap0xf]

Hot damn this looks cool. Great soundtrack too. System Sacom so good.

[@SaturnJap]

Sorta Pepsi Man Evolution?

[@praystation]

ps1 had way better draw distance on 3d games than Saturn ever had.

[@seanhillery1231]

Certainly used quite a bit of material from Rage Racer. Same textured and even the Lap Timers.

[@Yendas_Junos]

5:03 - 5:14 - this musical segment was in some fairly well-known game. I just don't remember which one.

[@jomon324]

You're right, I've heard it too

[@aliultimate009]

Like something out of SEGA.

[@praystation]

Had this game. The ost was very decent.

[@DonnyKirkMusic]

This game actually controls WORSE than Sanic R if you can believe that

[@Lu-hw8zu]

OMG, i love this game, i played a lot with my brother

[@OldsXCool]

You know, I always wondered what a racing game would be like if it was just people running instead of using some kind of car, plane, boat, or other type of craft. The answer, not too good lol. I love your videos when you post them. I always see something new.

[@emanatingf]

I remember 2014

[@TheNoKHturnal]

Looks like a mix between Pepsiman & Ridge Racer

[@aliultimate009]

And SEGA Rally type of music X)

[@fikridroid]

When you want Sonic R but you only have a PS1

[@aideniridescence1437]

Ran-turismo! Ah? *nudge* Ah? *nudge*? ..No? .. Okay :(

[@compellingpeople]

omg sounds like the announcer girl from dodonpachi!.

[@kcat80]

woody winger?

[@andrewschroy6368]

2:35 - How would the control description be translated into English? I'm not too good at reading Japanese. And strangely, despite Running High being Japan-exclusive, that's the only part of the game I know of in Japanese aside from Daikokumaru Hariya's dialogue.

[@nakamanga5412]

Basically: Cross to run, L1 and R1 to punch left/right, Circle or Square to break, Triangle for change the Camera and L2 or R2 for the boost. If you tap Cross twice you can do the slide

[@canalcomnomeretardado4337]

NICE GAME

[@a1rg3ar31]

10:08 Isn't that the same guy who does the Tenjo Tenge opening?

[@keithshockley3443]

FOOT TRANSMO: The Real Running Simulator. lol

[@Yaotl-Icel]

Hyper Pepsiman 2099 Unlimited

[@bcs9000]

Sonic R with boost

[@nufiya999]

Wow 2014 huh lol

[@blueelectric05]

10:13 is that m.c.A • T I heard?

[@BenoitAdam]

dafuck

[@coffeeblak86]

haha 2014

[@bickle1976]

seriously, what the fuck?

[@NeoGeoNinja81]

Game looks okay, but doesn't have that sensation of speed you require to make it feel awesome. Also, the AI looks like all sorts of MarioKart-esque pain in the arse rubberband cheating mothers. Not Manx TT on the Saturn bad, but pretty obnoxious. Also, just to add, I think if the runners looked as though they were running fast instead of taking leisurely strides, that would contribute to the illusion of a faster experience overall. Interesting concept though. A pretty cool one tbh.

[@Frengo69]

Wipeout on a Budget.

[@DressDown22]

They didn’t put a black man in the game because he woulda won ever race
