Road Rash was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this post. Like you said though, this appears to go a level above kicking people off of bikes. Haha.
was Road Rash the one with live action police arrest cutscenes ? i remember a motorcycle game where two cops put you inside their car trunk but don’t remember the title
Yes, that’s the one. The version you played was probably the PC version, which is an improved port of the 3DO/PSX version. There’s a lot of games in the series all just called Road Rash, which makes it more confusing to Google.
I freaking love that game, it’s a shame I can’t get to work on my modern rig, I would love to go back to it. It holds up! I got it running on my laptop a few years back, but I can’t get it to work since…it wants a dang keycode access (drm) and I can’t find any trust worthy sites that have like an ‘open’ version. So many fond memories of that game.
Also a banging soundtrack, it’s the reason I’m a Soundgarden fan!
Same, Soundgarden and Monster Magnet. My version doesn’t need a serial key, it can just be installed. Copy the rest of the data from the CD to the game dir and you can even play without a disc.
Man, that was so much fun. Back then when games actually amazes you that much that you had so much fun and Road Rash was definitely one of my favourites.
and there are no manuals so you had to figure that shit out on your own. it was a whole different ball game when we figured out you could stick your pipe in the spokes of the motorcycle next to you
I played this about a month ago after it was on sale. I genuinely like the survival/crafting genre and this was a fun way to experience settings from a series I’ve loved. I also had a lot of fun playing through this even with the “floaty” combat and optimization issues. As long as the developers continue to update the game to help it run a little easier, it’s definitely worth picking up if you’d like a new spin on the genre. Played on PS5 and it got very warm.
You’re welcome! Like I mentioned, I almost didn’t get to post today thanks to computer issues. Fortunately, I have a few other non-gaming computers floating around my home (I used to be an IT guy), so my screenshots might not be 4K quality, but I could technically find something else to play with if I needed to.
Actually I have a Steam Deck too! I wonder how decent its resolution/graphics would look on a PC screen…
Not joking, I’m secretely hoping their new console is the same format as Switch, but lets us use a 2nd unit or an old Switch as a screened controller. Ever since Resident Evil on Dreamcast I’ve been thinking every console could use a ‘HUD in the controller’
The Wii u was better (when the game developer used it correctly), it was a separate screen that showed different content. It was more like a DS.
Some of the games in Nintendo land were excellent local multiplayer games that will never get replicated again. They made great use of the second screen concepts.
I know, I had one, but it also had a base station that was the actual processing unit connected to the TV, so the handheld was essentially a remote monitor. Aka this meme doesn’t work because it’s missing half the wiiU unit.
I loved playing hyrule warriors (the first one) on it, because you could play local co-op but not split screen, without needing another unit. It was an absolutely superior experience to split screen.
I wish there was something similar with a higher quality screen, but I think that ship has probably sailed.
I also loved my Wii U. It’s such a shame it wasn’t more popular. I basically used it like a switch with a box that needed to be plugged in, just took the console places and anywhere with an outlet I could plug in and play on the screen. Obviously the switch is the superior console but the Wii U was a banger.
A guy I used to work with was convinced the whole thing was a scam. “Did his own research” and determined that all he needed was the console to upgrade his Wii. So he bought one secondhand. For his kids. Didn’t quite work out the way he had hoped. Eventually broke down and bought the pad etc.
He was not the brightest bulb, just the type to think of himself as such.
This does look fun, my first thoughts went back to the mx vs atv series. Any racing game that allows physical violence against your adversaries is a formula for a good time 😁
