We're back with another truckload of F1 games, running from the N64 to the 360/PS3 days, and the likes of F1 World Grand Prix through the incredible Grand Prix Challenge and, of course, F1 Race Stars. Part 2 is LIVE! time-extend-revo.simplecast.com/episodes/f1-...

Dipped back into Enthusia. Generally enjoyable game let down by mushy and imprecise controls and some weird gameplay decisions (someone looked at Gran Turismo's prize car system and decided to make it even more frustrating). Enjoyably varied car selection though.

if you really want to play a racing game set in Japan and want it to be Actually Good instead of Pleasantly Frictionless, play Tokyo Xtreme Racer because I know a whole lot of you haven't which is insane you are truly missing out store.steampowered.com/app/2634950/...

Not to sound dramatic but I believe this is the worst video game ever made

Look the Dreamcast did textures really freakin well OK

I'm a little biased but I'm right a lot more than people are willing to admit, tbh

has any man ever been more vindicated? x.com/stuartbuck1/...

Wait wait now this new Audi is the ugliest car ever made? Guys I can't keep up with all the shit I'm supposed to hate please one at a time

My new policy is I ain’t playing your racing game if you’re not doing sweet ass motion blur like this

TOMORROW...

This is the same fuckshit that abusive, braindead managers always say when people of conviction leave because they won't let themselves be mismanaged. Seen it before, easy to read between the lines.

Great take and I’m so tired of these miserable colors. Have a personality dear god

Honestly here for the NFS Heat European redux but with gorgeous car models www.thedrive.com/news/ex-forz...

so you're like the boss of a construction site? okay, so you're a

Everything is so stupid now, man. Simply acknowledging that a game exists on other platforms is apparently a “miss” for which the head of Xbox, in her effort to prove that the brand is now prioritizing gamers again or whatever the fuck, is performing public deference.

This would be huge to me, if they just could've found a way to flatten it a bit. Then it's aping the proportions of, like, a '90s Ghibli but with rear-hinged doors, which would be cool. I suspect there's a reason they couldn't, though.

Now THAT’S an update youtu.be/VFHQ43q7LrM?...

Happy Lagwagon day everyone.

The thing that always confused me about this was “GCN.” GameCube, Nintendo?

RTGI vs SSGI in Forza Horizon 6 is a pretty cool improvement

Forza Horizon 6 is a really good driving game, but the whole Japan thing feels like a missed opportunity. More in this review I wrote! jeff.zone/posts/review...

The wait is almost over

What a vile human and dereliction of your duty as an elected official, my god

We've begun our (very) informal journey through the history of Formula 1 games! Part one spans the late 70s up into the mid-90s, exploring the different ways that people tried to simulate the most technical genre of motorsport long, before high performance 3D graphics were a viable standard!

"Bad bet on EVs," give me a break

Ok this is amazing

Discovering a new band I love is genuinely one of the best feelings I ever have. Just kinda makes life feel fresh again

How do you even talk about the first Gran Turismo? The fine folks at @flashback64.com, @darrenhupke.bsky.social and I did our best, and it was a good time!

Bad model, impeccable vibes

When my beloved Sega system gets lost...,..

This is interesting because, no shade at the Autopian, but I recall pretty much everyone at the time being against the idea of a heavy, front-engine GT car being marketed as an NSX. I don't remember anyone sad about its demise either, although the HSV-010 is/was sick.

Nailed it

Here we go! Time for all those folks who said "$50 game" to show up! I'm sure they will and this won't suddenly become a "$30 game"

I love writing about old shit

These Car and Driver page-a-day calendars were an annual tradition for me as a kid. There was basic stuff like this, but it was always a great day when you uncovered a now-forgotten concept out of Need For Speed II or something.

These people are such unrepentant dipshits

Wasn't familiar with Stef Chura before but I'm obsessed with her cover of one of my favorite Silver Jews songs. This is so very good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vf1...

At our best we speed is learning

I knew that Spigen had iMac inspired iPhone cases. I did NOT know that they also make Mac Mini cases inspired by the OG iMac, and they are extremely cool. www.spigen.com/products/app...

all water is classic water

I’ll go to the mat for Daytona, nothing feels as good, it’s an esport, it can be enjoyed by anybody, it’s one of the best drifting games ever, and you can’t forget it.

My heart always wants to say Daytona because I feel like it doesn’t get enough accolades compared to everything else mentioned. I mean, it’s still ubiquitous in arcades across North America, it’s really incredible.

Hi this joke is for me

There was a distinct difference between the way tech outlets were covering cars and car outlets were covering cars back then and as a journalist at tech outlets it drove me fucking insane

Screamer patch notes are the notes of all time

No one talked like this about the smartphone cause yknow, it was good tech. No one Must Adept to good tech cause they yknow, will want to. Your shit sucks and you’re a sucker and mad the rest of us dont buy in to your bullshit

PlayStation used to be exciting. Unpredictable. They’ve lost that 😔
