Daytona 2 and Scud Race tracks in OR2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MechDeus]

Exactly. No matter how well Criterion has apparently nailed the art of dirty driving, it seems like it takes a lot less skill to drive that way than to link boosts or keep a combo alive for three straight laps.

You and an opponent are equally good at driving and are using the same cars. Who wins? The first one to knock the other into a wall/median/traffic/off-road.

When I played BO2 I knocked opponents into oncoming traffic and would honk at traffic to steer them into my opponents path, if that game had been online you could bet your ass I would do the same thing to you in that game. In PGR2 I purposefully caused pileups as soon as possible just to slow down the other cars. Hitting and running works great in racing games, although I am against the idiotic online tag-team where one person purposefully kamikazes so the other can get ahead.

I'm not taking anything Mzo says about racing games seriously.

He is horrible.

god...I've been waiting for Sega GT at home ever since the Saturn days.

[Frogacuda]

Done been emulated, son. And as of about 2 days ago at least 1 Model 1 game is playable (Virtua Fighter).

Okay, one final off-topic thing: Where do you check for emu news?

[Shooting Love]

what can I say about acronyms?...

Acronyms are the Devil.

ot (is that on topic, or off topic): I'm highly looking forward to OutRun2
I've been curious as to what would be added to substantiate a home release. (remembering that someone at SOJ recently said how their arcade translations are relegated to rental status in the US, and no profit is made because the consumer doesn't see any replay value)
X-Box Live support was expected, but more tracks are what's up.

What some people call "dirty", others call "extremely effective." Granted, racing dirty in real life will get your ass beat quickly (because it involves a very real risk to loss of money and life), but in an enviroment where there is no such risk (like in an arcade-style racing game), I have no problem with it.

I prefer to race with people I know and there is a core of about 20 people in PGR2 that are very good and race compeltely fair. Calls of "On your left", "Passing Right" "On your inside", "Had to back off, you got it" are common in these games.

In most rooms there are people like you and bumping is 'part of their game'. In reality, they are almost exclusively complete shit at it and as soon as I pass them they won't see me again until the end of the race when the positions are talleyed. Most of the time, it's simple enough to be in front of them and taking a corner from out/in/out, then just stopping and watching them go plowing into the wall because I don't go where they think my car was going to go.

Basically anyone who crashes into cars in attempt to win has a supreme lack of skill.

wow sweet, what games are playable on model 2 emu?


and how large are the rom files for model 1 and 2?

[Chux]

While I do enjoy bumping, I've got to agree with MVS. In PGR2, bumping online or with a fairly intelligent opponent will get you nowhere. Now I'm not quite up to par with him, but at least I wasn't ramming people, or slamming into corners like some of the people I've see. That being said, I'll probably start playing PGR2 again.

Heh, sorry about the "GAFFERS" thing....naturally I meant to type TNL'ers

Oh and I heard if you beat the game within a certain amount of time, you will unlock Diffusionx as a secret passenger, who will curse you the fuck out if you crash too many times. But....if he gets too annoying, you can drift the car a certain way on two wheels, and he'll flip out the vehicle and tumble down the track
