fastest game and sense of speed ever....I really trained my reflexes here to the max

[@Clickmoi]

Ha you summer child, you ignore all about Wipeout 2097 :)

[@arisuatlast]

@@Clickmoi Dude what, Wipeout is one of the slowest futuristic racers out there, with a bigger focus on combat mechanics. If you wanna have a contest over speed then look towards F-Zero and HSX.

[@iKickBullies]

@@arisuatlast Have you played Wipeout on the highest speed?

pff, amateurs. y'all never played Extreme-G X2. but it doesnt surprise me, a lot of people didnt like that game at the time. i loved it though :(

Wow. I've never looked at this game before. Dated as the graphical fidelity may be, the visual design of these tracks is extraordinary.

[@celo17]

This was my first PC game, back in 99. I still remember buying it! I played this game with my father for almost two years, every day after school. Good old times. Thanks for the video.

[@archangel2427]

Dude I also played this with my dad on PC! We had a piece of paper in the game CD case where we wrote down our lap records with our names next to it, so whenever I'd sit down with the game I'd try to beat my dad's record or vice versa, so we could cross out the other's name. Definitely a core memory.

[@mikesully110]

I like to imagine this as an alternate future for Anakin where the Jedi didn't visit Tattooine (say that last laser shot that damaged Qui-gon's Ship just ever so slightly missed), so instead of becoming a Jedi, Anakin Skywalker instead made it big in the Pod Racing scene, married and freed a pretty local slave girl, and lived a decent life outside the notice of the Empire.

Speeders aren't generally either swoop bikes or podracers though. I mean I can't imagine most military landspeeders, or Luke's landspeeder back in ANH, being able to reach this level of speed.

[@Ferdish3]

Well, releasing Episode I: Racer on GOG or Steam might be a problem, but not because of Disney or LucasArts and their copyright claims (EA has nothing to do with Episode I: Racer). The gameplay and atmospere of Episode I: Racer is marvelous, however, this game has a lot of issues... First, the game development. LucasArts had developed Episode I: Racer for two years, but still rushed the final development stages so it could hit the stores along with the official theatrical release of Episode I itself in the USA (and along with Episode I: The Phantom Menace and Episode I: The Gungan Frontier as well). That lead into several performance bugs, graphic glitches and stability issues, which have never been fixed in early weeks and months after release IIRC. Although the game has received many positive reviews and awards, it slowly drifted into oblivion...three years later, when Episode II had been released, nobody remembered it at all, including myself. Second, the inadaptibility for modern systems. Since it has not been treated as one of the LucasArts fine jewels and due to lack of patching and fixing the bugs, Racer could not keep up with the hardware and software development. I remember trying to run it on old Asus F3 laptop about 4 years ago. That laptop had 2,4 GHz dual core CPU, 4 GB of RAM, Intel GMA integrated graphics and OS WinXP - shitty piece of junk at that time, but ample for that game. It wasn't much a pain in the ass to lauch it, but making it playable was a true hell! It took me about a week with a help from Vogons.org community to fully fix it! Imagining that every single person who wants to play this game nowadays must go through similar obstacle course as myself, and maybe even worse since both HW and SW have advanced much more since - well, good luck! That is why GOG nor Steam do not wanna make Episode I: Racer available for purchase in current state, because in order to make it playable for masses, it would mean to radically solve all these issues, which could easily turn into nothing more than a huge waste of time, energy and resources, not to mention how much it would cost if they would have decided to sell it after all...how much would you be willing to pay for it, btw? IMO better would be to remake the game using some latter, more stable and reliable engine and to release it as Special Edition, just like they did with Monkey Island 1 and 2. Besides, next year will be 20th anniversary of Episode I's theatrical release - can you imagine what a marketing move it would be if they could manage to do so?

How do you have a stat for "traction"...? you're freaking hovering above the ground for Godsakes.

[@ianciti]

when you're hovering it's important to have traction otherwise you'll never make any of your turns properly. the traction is either A sci fi tractor beam bullshit or B using strong jets of compressed air

[@link30222]

shhhhh Sci Fi Logic

[@reflectionist]

I played this game a little bit as a kid, but I was never good at it. I've got the PC version now, and I absolutely love playing it. (I like playing as Ebe Endocott - he looks like a ridiculous character, but his podracer is badass, and I like the handling). Quick question - How are you actually supposed to navigate the anti-grav section on the "Vengeance" tracks (20:47)?

[@Bubblejunk]

Use space bar (default) to slide/drop traction to make the movement easier in the 0g section. Also if you have unlocked fps it makes it harder to move around in the 0g sections.

[@reflectionist]

@@Bubblejunk Dang it. I won't lie, I wasn't quite brave enough for mouse and keyboard controls, I've been using a USB Xbox controller... Er. I haven't really nailed down the settings for it quite right either.

[@Bubblejunk]

@@reflectionist Iirc it was called slide by the game, so check button bind for that. According to steam forum comment slide might be LB.

this game needs an HD remaster like, ASAP. its one of the few good things from Episode 1 lol.

[@aberrantaardvark4816]

In the final Tatooine race there's a huge shortcut you missed which I loved taking back in the day. It's to the right of the second plateau thing on the right side near the beginning. Using it, you can easily lap a few of your opponents :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/haK7eqCYi7eYsLc

[@jomo3564]

[@thewarf321]

[@Rossi_83]

damn the nostalgia

[@bryanbighatbearl5598]

Pretty impressive racing there a lot of your lap records were under a minute

[@Trooper85751]

they need to make a modern ver of this game. I almost missed ep 1 while I was at Walmart playing this in the video game section. remember those days when Walmart had an n64 setup with vid games to play while your parents shopped. I got left alone for over an hour it was great times no one snatched me up either

How did you manage to delete lap records? That didn't work out for me, I tried to delete the name of the participant in the game and the records there ended up with the same name. Anakin the name I couldn't delete because what can I do. Can you help me empty lap records, please on PC?

[@Bubblejunk]

Sorry for really late reply, but when I played this it just never saved the data. I tested out on Steam version. You browse the files to the game "steamapps\common\Star Wars Episode I Racer\data\player" There is tgfd.dat file that contains the lap records afaik. Not sure if you also need to just remove all the racers. Steam will sync it back so you will have to disable it for a moment.

[@TheBreakingBenny]

I've beat this a number of times without ever needing vehicle upgrades.

[@DivineAtheistWannabe]

I loved this game as a kid. i never finished it though Side Note: Can someone please explain how the Junkyard works. Why does the podracer stats keep changing after every race. One minute the top speed bar is full and after the next race it's way lower etc Also why is there a: Buy parts, Vehicle Upgrades and Junkyard What's the difference

[@archangel2427]

So if you notice, each part has a health bar next to it when you select it. The health bar goes down during races because the part is being used. That's why low level parts that are fresh and new will raise your stats higher than a burnt out, "better" part you've been racing with for awhile. The shop will have a variety of parts that are all new (health bar is full and green). The junkyard is all used parts (health bars are all different levels). The vehicle upgrades screen will take you to the hangar bay and show you all of the parts you have at the same time. You can select each part and it will show you where on the pod that part is. I always felt like you should be able to do more on the vehicle upgrades screen, like I always felt like I was missing something, but maybe it really is just for you to look at your pod up close.

Ben Quadrinaros' track was the one place that drove me nuts back then, while also making me realize Anakin earned his freedom easily in Episode 1 (with this guy not being able to compete and all.) It was some kind of floating skywalk/corridor level with hollow walls and many sharp turns that took me about 50 tries to beat. Srsly fk that dude 🤣🤣🤣
