      Why wouldn’t the disc still work if you haven’t used it in 20yrs? Did it work 20yrs ago when you played it last? If so it will still work. I have dvds and vhs cassettes from the 90s and they work and look just as they did the last time I used them. They’re not condoms, they don’t have expiration dates. Your old games will still work.😉

      The daylight simulation uses the Dreamcast clock and will always be pretty close to how it is in RL, and even reflects seasonal changes in the real world. The downside as you say is you have to adjust the DC clock, to get access to the special races.

  • @bryantnonya8704
    @bryantnonya8704 Год назад +1

    There's an exploit in this game when you play a race type called hot lab I think is what it's called. It takes your best lap but if you have a good first lap on the second lap you can do tricks to earn kudos and turn around and go back the opposite direction toward the starting line and do it again repeatedly to boost your kudos.
    This allows you to earn way more kudos than you would normally be able to earn unlocking a lot of the game earlier than you would normally be able to unlock races in the game. I actually recommend doing this because you get some breathing room and you're not just stuck to a linear progression of races. Just be warned that some of these races get really hard later on in the game!

    This game has a special nostalgic part in my heart, reminding me of a period of time in my life as me an my friends were into cars and car culture in our late teens/early 20s, I tried giving it another go a couple of years ago for a trip down memory lane, the first time since the early 00s and it was so much more brutal then I remembered.

    Loved this game for the graphics, atmosphere and driving itself, but the rubber-banding is not getting nearly enough highlighting here. Return to the early races with the Skyline, drive perfectly but crash on the last corner and watch all the MX5s and Fiats which have somehow been on your bumper the whole way fly past you.
    Being able to return to the early chapters and easily beat everyone should be the reward for progressing further into the game.

Also it's the same scenario with Need for speed high stakes on Playstation All over again, You have to own a car before you race, as there is no Freeplay mode where you can freely choose any car and track and just race and enjoy the games unique production values, I really don't like that.
    Also PGR 1 and 2 could have been ported over to Microsoft windows, I believed it would have done well on those PC aside than Xbox just for deep preservation.

  • @dallase1
    @dallase1 10 месяцев назад

    Way t o Damn Hard, in Street Racing the Training level is next to impossible to get the target rime because if you go as fast as you can you run into everything and get penalized but if you don't just floor it you can't beat the target time.
    There is a cheat where you can unlock all tracks by holding the start button during the introduction sequence but what is the introduction sequence ? If you hit the start button during the video it aborts the video and brings up that don't try this at home screen and then eventually after waiting for all the logo screens to go by you can finally get to the start game screen but all the tracks are not available. It;s annoying to make a game so damn hard that even on the beginner levels you have to be a super skilled video game wiz. Also it's annoying how every time you start a game it asks you to adjust the time zone even after you save a game and if you don't select the correct time zone you can't go back and change it in options and have to power off or reset the Dreamcast to change the time zone. It's also annoying that you have to create a profile even if you want to just do a time attack or quick race. Also it's annoying how you can't change the settings of your car after you win and register it so if you want to change the color, roof, window style and even the name on the license plate you can't do it after you win a car and save it. The Music gets annoyingly repetitive.

      I know this is kinda old but for everyone who's willing to read this, the console keeps its date-time through the battery in the VMU. I know that's strange since the console has a lithium battery and vmus don't really need batteries to keep save files, but sega decided that you either keep your VMU with a battery or you need to reset date everytime you unplug the console.
