- We switch over to the Japanese market for the latest episode of PlayStation Year One, where we suffer through one of the worst games ever released for the original PlayStation. Cosmic Race is a failure on almost every possible level. It's strangely fascinating! But terrible.

5:39 Anyway, that's apparently because of the "slogan" of NEOREX, which in English translate "Contributing EXPANSIVELY to the world - using ORIGINAL techniques - in response to true NEEDS" (order of the sentences is of course inverted in Japanese).
2:26 It looks like a Net Yaroze game because it used the same libraries, the early developers didn't get access to hardware.
When did developers begin to get acess to hardware?
This beats Bubsy 3D hands down.
What a fascinating trainwreck! It's one of those games that have such an idiosyncratic approach to their genre that makes you wish it would work at least on SOME level.
Interestingly, Pony Canyon was super big into computer game publishing before the Famicom boom, and Tokuma Shoten was behind Technopolis Soft, who published many computer games starting in '84. I think Towa Chiki and Vap might be good examples for companies of other industries getting in on the Famicom craze (although both put out a bunch of games; or Victor Music, which became even more pervasive in the games industry).
If you got your playstation 1 after launch and decided to choose this game you would probably never want to buy anything sony again.
Hey Woh! The Net Yaroze Hover Car Racing I played was a top-down, 2D racer!
Were there two?!!
There is Hover Racing and Hover Car Racing.
I would love to someday have some dev interviews. I actually rather like the character designs.
It would be interesting to see a source on the claim about Cosmic Race's graphics. (I tried to find it, no luck!) You can certainly see how developers found Sony's 3rd party policies more attractive than Sega and Nintendo, anyway...
Nice videos dude! I have a question: Do you have any information on the games Razorwing and Team 47 Go-Man? They were supposed to be launch games for the PS1 in North America, but after some press coverage in 1995, they completely disappeared. Razorwing was being developed by a studio called N-Space, by the way, and it was basically a 3D battle tank game. Team 47 Go-Man was a mech battle game, similar to the game Krazy Ivan.
oh god I remember when GameFan covered Cosmic Race... and as I recall it was in indeed awful. But I never really knew just HOW awful until I saw this video... I mean really.
Looking forward to Parodius though, I think my favorite game in the series is Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius ~Forever With Me~
holy moly cosmic race is the hidden gem of the trash games.
thats really the next level of bad !!
An early example of asset flipping? And as a real release as well, I'm impressed.
This game was SO 3D!
