I wish you could turn this shit off.

Which shit? The co-driver?

What's with the co-driver saying "baby"?

What the fuck does that mean? "Very long easy right, baby!"

Also they call L-turns "K-[turn]".

>>6420271
He's saying "maybe".

>>6420272
What's an l turn?

The navigater

I can get to Lakeside with my eyes closed but I've never beaten it.

Is it even possible? There is like no traction at all and you just pinball it till you lose. Protips?

I like the first one (handling and physics) way better than the model 3 sequel. Also best racing game on Sega Saturn.

>>6420281
I remember the course being extremely narrow.

>>6420343
Sega Rally 2 is flawed, but I still really like it. Problem is, there isn't a great way to play it these days. The Dreamcast port is gimped with shitty framerate and muddy visuals. Emulating the arcade game is glitchy, at least for me. And the Windows version is ancient and has no support for analog game pads.

>>6420281
Stay in 2nd/3rd gear for all of the track except the straights.

>>6420378
Damn gonna try this soon thanks.

Wish our hole in the wall arcade was still around I really miss that cab.

The key to finish lakeside, is to do extremely well in forrest. That way you will have enough time for lakeside. Also mannual transmission, 2, 3rd gear mostly, and 4th briefly when you can get away with it. Furthermore you can practice lakeside via holding down break, select practice, highlight mountain, then 1st gear, 2nd gear. third gear, N gear, 3rd gear, and gas to enter.

only one i actually owned was sega rally championship on gba
had some nice chunky 3d
don't worry, it has full co-driver commentary

I have never once beaten Mountain.

I wanted a Saturn just to play Sega Rally. The 90s were weird /vr/os

Then I met V-Rally and Collin McRae on PSX and forgot all about it

>>6420527
I feel like those games occupy a different a different space than Sega Rally. Sega Rally is an arcade game. You play it for 5 minutes. Then you play it again and try to do better. V-Rally and McRae certainly aren't simulations, but they're a little bit more realistic and expect you to play them for hours.

Sega Rally 2 had better music.

>>6420410
That's not 3D anon

>>6421232
it is, it's just that it had a lot of 2d "billboards"
maybe you skipped to a rather flat stage, some have hills on the sides, definately not a simple raster/mode7 effect

>>6421405
It uses techniques that are somewhat similar to how 2.5D FPS renderers do things, in combination with animated sprites and few other tricks, no actual polygons involved.

>>6421503
i looked a bit close to see if it was doing some trickery like what build does, but it doesn't appear to, since i can see;
- affine texture distortion
- ability to look up/down without distortion (check out the credits, the cars drive right under the camera)
granted, it's super low resolution, and it's hard to tell exactly what's going on, but it does seems to use polygons

do you have a source describing what it's doing? because if it's something i haven't seen before, i am curious

>>6420360

Yep, that is true for all of Sega's Model 3 ports. At least Naomi ports were sweet and we got the amazing Ferrari F355 Challenge.

>>6420343
Same. I also like the Saturn port better than the arcade original--I think it looks better. I've never played on an actual cab though

>>6420410
Nasty

the ghost car replay music on Saturn:

This isn't just the best single videogame track ever created, it's the best MUSICAL track of all time. This track should be engraved on a gold plate and blasted into space on the next satellite to leave the solar system, as an eternal monument to the creative genius of mankind

>>6422836
Playstation 2 is a native arcade port or emulation I believe, but you're probably better off with the Model 2 emulator on PC I would assume.

>>6423114
It's a port of the arcade game.

Did anyone else grow up in a world where being even slightly good at Sega Rally meant you fucked everyone who actually knew how to drive a car in any Sega racing game?

Those physics were off the wall.

>>6425027

Yep, best physics and handling of any arcade racing of that time. Later came Sega's Ferrari simulator to raise the bar.

What’s your opinion on Sega Touring Car?
I had a Saturn (with Sega Rally) but didnt get a chance to play STC

>>6425467
Sure, if you play it with increased render resolution and a widescreen hack. Just render it at native resolution and aspect ratio. The Saturn port is great, don't get me wrong, but the arcade original is still better.

>>6425487
The arcade game is okay. The sense of speed is incredible, but it's pretty damn hard, and the AI is crazy fast. The Saturn port is nigh unplayable. The game is way too fucking fast, and the low resolution just results in your screen being an incomprehensible mess of pixels.

Manx TT Super Bike is the one I'd recommend. The Saturn port is arguably better than the arcade game, and it's damn fun.

>>6425794
no reason not to play with widescreen in high resolution on a widescreen and high resolution monitor
gimping yourself purposefully because of the limitations of the hardware of that era is asinine

>>6425843
>no reason not to play with widescreen in high resolution
No reason except that it looks bad

>>6425865
it won't look better if you mush it into a 360p 4:3 box then stretched to letterboxed 1440p screen
next you'll be telling me to buy a digital to analog converter and a crt right

>>6425870
>it won't look better if you mush it into a 360p 4:3 box then stretched to letterboxed 1440p screen
But it does.

>>6425870
>next you'll be telling me to buy a digital to analog converter and a crt
If you don't already have a CRT and you like old games, what are you doing?

>>6425895
Playing them at extremely high visual fidelity.

>>6425805
Manx TT is very brief. I bought it but I knew going in that there isn’t a ton to do.

>>6425962
Sure, it's an arcade racer after all.

>>6425975
Maybe but I feel like I got more longevity out of Daytona CCE.

>>6425983
>CCE
Yuck. That version's terrible

>>6426037
FFFFFUCK YOU
