I wanted to like Spec II but I can't. It's not a problem of the mod per se but apparently the GT4 Online Beta it's based on. The AI sucks ass, it's way too retarded and slow. I don't know if it can ever be fixed but you have to gimp yourself A LOT to make it competitive, and in certain tracks the AI is unable to keep the cars within the track limits. The actual mod changes are good but it's all for naught with that AI.

They have pit crew people telling them if someone's behind them so they can focus ahead. In a race a millisecond of looking away can prove fatal.

What are the best off-road racers? Sega Rally feels sublime, but doesn't have a lot of tracks (short music selection as well). Other rally games I've played have a lot more content, but are either the embodiment of understeer or the embodiment of oversteer. What's the best one, truly?

Sega Rally also isn't actually about rally lol

2D: Gaelco's World Rally: Championship and World Rally 2: Twin Racing

3D: Assuming you are looking for an arcade and not a simulator:
- Colin McRae Rally 1 & 2
- WRC: Rally Evolved
- Sega Rally 2006

3D, not-(so)-retro:
- Milestone's WRC 3 (for the contents)
- Milestone's WRC 4 (for the looks)

I like to race in GTA against the police by getting a few stars and trying to drive to the other side of the map. Pedestrians and traffic are all random if you're under four stars so it becomes more of a race 'n chase game. Very dynamic and fun especially with bikes

Reposting in this thread; Late PAL release. It's a good pick-up-and-play racer with little commitment needed. It was probably under development as a proper rally sim but with the PSX market dying, cut short and pushed out the door as an "arcade" release to excuse the lack of depth. I recommend it if you've never heard of it before.

Finally finished GT2 A-Spec 100%, lads, tried using as many new cars as possible though way too many of them are rewards for the manufacturer challenges. By then there's really nothing to use them on.

Does A spec have the F1 cars yet? How does it compare to vanilla 2/3/4?
>>
>>11287984
Fixed misplaced engines/opponents, some races are longer/in different tracks, but the main draw is a new Like The Wind event in endurance (40 laps for 40K credits) and a lot of new cars from the time. No actual F1 cars but a lot of prototype low riders, the JLOC car, a bunch of racing mods for existing cars from JGTC, but otherwise it's a vanilla experience. I heartily recommend it.
>>
I finally re-learned Ridge Racer and got four trophies in one session. I don't know why I never tried this before but basically you either accelerate endlessly and drift then immediately fight against the spin out, or you hold the gas and press the brake at the same time during turns to various degrees with a grippy car. The weird Italian car got me first places consecutively with its traction. I used to hate that car as a kid.

Played the GC version and enjoyed it a lot. Career mode particularly.
Set it up without in-game data (without opponent names/energy) for a simcade experience.
Opponents getting nervous and crashing is a nice touch.

Rally de Africa and Rally de Europe plagiarized Sega Rally, down to the HUD. The soundtracks in these game are sick too. de Africa's music is like if Jet Set Radio was about a safari, while de Europe has more of what you'd expect from Sega Rally. I highly recommend these games.

Fuck off nerd. When people say "mode 7" they are talking about specific bg rotation and scaling effects. If the game engages mode 7 technically but doesn't use any of those then it doesn't belong to mode 7 discussion period.

Depends. They are excellent arcade games to play against your friend sitting side by side at a twin machine with ffb wheel and manual shifter controls and shittalking each other. They are much less interesting playing solo. They are shit when playing with a controller because the controls are too dependant on ffb wheel to feel any realistic and the game feels too simplistic without one. At this point Battle Gear 3 or any of the Tokyo Xtreme Drift games would be much better.

Analog joystick

>>11296675
I exclusively drive OR cars, works on my machine. I recommend adjusting your deadzone and sensitivity.
>>
>>11297552
I react on time just fine, the fastest OR tuned cars like the Enzo simply can't make the tight turns like Skyscrapers or Cape Way at any sort of useful speeds no matter where you position yourself, how early you start drifting, or how hard you tilt during the drift, it physically cannot make the arc at high speeds without hitting the wall.

My main is the OR 328 GTS since it can handle most of the game fine but it's still very iffy in these tight turns, and I'd like to see it but more consistent or the Enzo but usable.

Vertical head movement is negligible and bigger opening means less protection from debris in open cars. Visors in NASCAR or sports cars with a closed cockpit aren't so tiny.

Also there was some really fucking tiny openings on some relatively early full face helmets.
