STAR WARS™ Episode I: Racer

So far so perfect. The game runs properly at incredibly speeds, a solid 60 FPS, controls are on point (even for keyboard, though joystick took some setting up), the resolution patch works great *however* resolutions higher than 1920x1440 seem to have frame-drops, and I haven't yet gotten an opportunity to test out multiplayer, though it seems to lack the two player split-screen the N64 had, in favor of up to 8 play LAN. (and shorter loadscreens than both N64 and Dreamcast) If you like fast paced racing games, don't hesitate to pick this one up! :)

I had a real love/hate relationship with this game back when it was released on the Nintendo 64. I loved the speed and the graphics, but I hated the framerate which was passable until you got to the 3rd tier of racing where the game turned almost into a slideshow and the controls got ultra sluggish. You could get some of those frames back by lowering the resolution, but then you had another problem. You couldn't see! Then along came the Dreamcast version which had sharp visuals and a steady 30 frames per second. By that time I had already moved on to other games and had no interest in owning a Dreamcast anyway. Fast forward to 2018 and here I see the PC version has just been released on GOG. Highest resolution coupled with 60 frames per second. Yeah, I no longer have a love/hate relationship with this game. Just love. It runs super butter smooth and plays wonderfully with my XBOX One controller.

Hands down the best sci-fi arcade racer ever made. The sensation of speed is amazing and still unmatched to this day. The controls and gameplay mechanics are perfect. The pc version is also the definitive version. Thank you GOG for finally releasing it here. Please support this game, so we might get a remaster. I can recommend this game blindly to anyone who likes fast pasted futuristic arcade racer, you will not find a better one.

An old favorite from the N64. Holds up in all ways except length. Great buy, recommended.

Runs without any troubles performance wise. It technically supports ultrawide, as in you can choose the resolution 3440x1440, but it malplaces some textures (like lamps) and your racer is too far back. You can somewhat use one of the camera settings (the one furthest back), but every other setting is weird to use. There's really no reason to use it, as if you choose any other resolution it streches to the sides which works fine as the real ultrawide resolution basically does the same, except it also borks the textures like previously said. Game is still just as fun as back in 1999, though, so there's that!
