I do wish I had the chance to try Shuffle Races back in the day. Only ever heard good things. Read more

I almost put PSP in front of GT6, but I have been playing it again on my Vita and it just...needs more. GT7 almost went further forward too but I think we’ve got to consider the launch state. I loved GT7 at launch, I said so in my review, but being totally objective, there were serious issues and it needed more time. Read more

I recently fired up a fresh save in GT5 because I felt like I owed the game a second opinion, and I did the first event in the Top Gear series where you’re racing VW Samba buses. I made the mistake of putting one wheel too many on the grass in the followthrough near the end of what felt like a 15-minute-long race (beca Read more

If I were your roommate, I’d break off that friendship right there on the spot. Unconscionable. Read more

The staff has changed considerably in the last four years though Read more

I’ve found that Bart Trzynadlowski’s Supermodel emulator is very stable and works well on plenty of hardware now. A friend with a Steam Deck says it runs Scud Race with no issues. Read more

That’s an excellent video and a must-watch for anyone who wants to understand why what Sega and Namco were doing in arcades was so advanced for the time Read more

Next Generation covered this thoroughly back then. It’s kind of amazing how it doesn’t get talked about anymore. Thank you! Read more

Almost everything about R4 is better than V...except the driving. And when push comes to shove, I tend to wanna go back to the game with the better driving. Read more

What I’d do to get behind the wheel of the one remaining Full Scale cab... Read more

Maybe you’re just gud and the rest of us need to git gud Read more

Nice. GT, Ridge Racer Type 4 and Wipeout are responsible for me throwing a bunch of menu design-type stuff on DeviantArt in my teenage years haha Read more

Wreckfest can get away with it because its cars are not licensed. Read more

Fair. I don’t understand how Senna’s MP4/4 is valued at like half the price of a McLaren F1. Read more

I’d refrain from calling devs lazy — there are a host of reasons why the status quo is what it is, as we’ve discussed. The point about visual damage indicating aero problems to other racers is a good one, though. That’s why it’s also important for visual damage not to be totally client-side — all players should see Read more

Thank you! And thanks for inspiring the interview! Read more

We laugh, but with GT7's secondhand car prices reflecting actual car prices, I could see the devs going the extra mile to convey the proper Ferrari owner experience. Read more

As someone who once leased a 2012 Focus with the PowerShift, that was nearly my answer Read more
