Haiden what's your favorite Star Wars not episode 1 what that's my favorite
you know what so I was nine when Episode one came out and I remember really
liking Episode one as a nine year old I slept over and waited in line I thought
Darth Maul was real cool yeah I saw podracing was awesome and
yeah this is a Star Wars Episode one racer I can't wait I can't wait for game
also a Windows and Dreamcast game apparently though I think the Dreamcast
version was different so that's why Anakin looks like he's made out of 12
polygons but yeah we're checking this out so this got rereleased on good ol
games this week and that's the first time it's been available in like 15
years legally I think so good like let's jump in and do a few races we could do
like the really easy race first I have a feeling this is gonna sell well for them
I knew a lot of people who yeah dumped a lot of time I jumped on this so I was I
was really excited because I think yeah you saw it's been 20 ish years since
this game came out I remember playing this game in a Toys R Us in New Jersey
no shit I'm like a demo station and thinking that this was like amazing at
the time like 64 demo station look they like clips from a movie in here it's
amazing like rendered and yeah rendered at like 12 pixels I would have whatever
the and yeah I so witness those textures so that the textures in this game are
are yes terrible and we're not good at the time I'll add but the thing that I
think is really cool about this game is that this game is like maybe one of the
best racing games when it comes to just like having a sense of speed like I feel
like most racing games are actually despite the fact that you're going
hundreds of miles per hour pretty bad about like simulating how fast you're
going do you know I mean yeah this almost feels like a wipeout yeah exactly
it's from that same era of like hey let's just make a racing game where you
go really fast and like this this levels not as good at showcasing it because a
lot of these turns or pretty easy as I said this is the easy
track but after we get through this we'll jump into one of the the more
dangerous tracks I just think that there's like a really cool like
everything is whipping past you you feel like you're really controlling this
thing going I guess four hundred ninety eight miles per hour I don't know what
unit that's supposed to be I was like wait is that miles per hour do they have
that in the duration yeah it's just it's like really cool to speed through like
okay so we've done it we've done a lap this is the really easy lap so let's
jump out if I can figure out how to work anything on these controls that's the
one thing I'll say about this this game the controls don't matte very well to
the Xbox controller in fact as I showed Adam before we jumped in this video you
have to jump into a menu and click joystick enable in order to actually use
a controller it doesn't play well with mouse and keep you can use a mouse and
keyboard but no I would not recommend playing very fast racing game with a
mouse keyboard and like to use boost it technically tells you it snap to one
button but you have to hold the joystick up or hold the analog stick up on the
controller and then tap the X button in order to get the boost to work correctly
like there we go now we're boosting oh man you're going fast so yeah they they
simulate the the damage on your engines over towards that's what the thing is in
the bottom left here crash into a thing on the right you'll damage your right
engine and if you do that enough you'll break the engine off just like the movie
yeah so you can actually they they programmed in them the animation where
you like break your right engine off and then you sort of do like the crazy
flippin move because you only have region test it's it's actually really
cool looking me and that's the thing I so like that as I said the textures in
the game obviously are terrible I mean to draw a distance yeah drop is also
terrible in fact like some of the later levels are harder just because you don't
know what's coming until it's like 10 feet in front of you
that was the n64 for you yeah but I'm still like I'm pretty amazed at just
like how fast the game feels and how tight it feels especially like at a PC
framerate do you know what I mean that's the other piece of it yeah this does
feel like a pretty stable framerate yeah moving moving at a good clip so yeah you
said you were having some problems getting it to to run yeah it's pretty
unstable right now you can I don't it seems like the problem is in overlays
that's from from the forum post I've been reading so at home I had to disable
my geforce overlay and disable i don't know steam and disable oh good old gal
good old games galaxy GOG galaxy also has an overlay and so even though I'm
running it through their official software that also caused it to crash
but yeah once you get it up and running it seems fine and we'll just jump in
we'll do like a lap or two of a more advanced race how how well does good old
games to support the releases afterward good I mean as far as yeah as far as I
know she should be pets yeah I'm hoping they'll like they were requesting people
send in DX dyads last night to diagnose what the problem is okay so yeah
hopefully within a couple days they'll have that sorted out I like the light
bloom on them yeah but whatever the thing is that connects the yeah yeah the
engine the thing that jar-jar burns his tongue on yeah whoops but yeah you can
see like there's a once you get into these like tight corridors and stuff
there's just like a really cool sense of speed going around these turns that I
feel like it's missing from a lot of even the arcade racers today like that
that was one of the cool things about the burnout paradise remaster this year
was going back to a arcade racer that really felt fast whereas I feel like
even for to horizon which is probably the best of the modern arcade racers no
I do fast enough I remember this turn really
screwing or that jump really screwing me up as a kid cuz I didn't understand how
to get past it it turns out boost is the correct answer but yeah even like
burnout paradise or even Forza horizon I mean as an arcade racer doesn't feel
fast sometimes like it still feels like you're driving a normal car and one of
the things I think is is still great about this game is just like you're
whipping through these turns yeah I don't know it's it's still to me 20
years later despite looking like garbage still a pretty amazing game I put like
an hour and do it yesterday just oh yeah I'm just play through it real quick ice
and it sounds like all the the music still there yeah it's good there's a
level it has dual the fates in the background which is the best still a
best starwars song so nice yeah as I said if I could jump out to a menu maybe
we would actually go play one of those Oh let's pull back yeah let's jump back
to the head now let's go into first person nice there we go yeah but see I
feel like for some reason it feels so sore again I feel like in the first
person mode it feels slower than that third person and we can see so close to
those uh yeah yeah I feel like you don't get as much of the ground texture
swinging pass so also it's nice to see the I mean I assume that's some sort of
physics yeah a lot come yep attaches to the yeah there's all sorts of stuff like
you can buy upgrade parts and stuff there's like a whole I can't
Watto is that the racist guys name oh goodness I don't like horrible flying
thing that you play dice with to like by Anakin's life it sounds familiar and
he's like you're like they're really gonna tell you mom yeah exactly it's an
awful but he's in here and he'll like sell you parts out of this junkyard
perfect I kind of enjoyed this game also because it's a weird alternate history
where instead of becoming a Jedi and then later becoming Darth Vader
Anakin Skywalker just became like a pro pot racer for some reason it's just like
you know it might have been better better you just hung out on that Pro pod
racing circuit that's all let's see if we can make the jump to it do it so
close I think you also have to pull back I think there's something about pulling
back on this show to get I made it twice yesterday and I was really psyched
because I don't think I ever made it as a kid but is there even a penalty are
you getting a patella oh yeah so we get a time penalty so we've two in front of
us now but like they stopped time dumps we were yeah we were so far ahead that
like I don't know we're gonna get second oh that's it pod Anakin a home but your
mom yeah I don't know I think it's just a really cool game still I mean it
definitely shows its age these like ugly paying arounds this is hilarious you
know I I like I like throwback so I like emulating games and I'm glad that
there's I think this is the front of the like weird games that I'm happy to see
emulated I think that this is one of the better ones even like if you can get
past the graphics which as we said are are not great I think this is still a
fantastic racing game this is this is probably the level that I would say is
like one of the best ones and good on a good on Disney for further because I
would have thought they would have tried to bury this deep in the sand yeah
same has been like putting out the old Lucas film or LucasArts games you know
putting out or given Double Fine the rights of those back yeah it's like it's
kind of refreshing to have a publisher that actually wants to put those games
back out there because Lucasfilm for like 20 years just like clearly did
not I I don't know I don't know if they just
didn't want to put the work in or what but they did not put those games back
out which made games like this kind of just disappear for a long time unless
you wanted to you know emulate it or pirate it so yeah it's nice to have a
way to to go grab that again that's only on good ol games which i think is just
gog now I think that's our preferred term even though we all know what it
stands for yeah and it's ten bucks so it's not a
huge investment this is this is a little turn up here is one of my favorites you
have to like whip around and do like this crazy switchback thing oh you're
handling it pretty good yeah look at that you're a master pod racer it's
sections like that that I think really showcase the speed of this game so yeah
yeah we believe it here we can we get an air brake to stop and watch every run
past us no drive anakena let's see if we can snap off one of these things real
quick and Nick Lord kill ourselves and McCune so yeah that's a episode one
racer from 1901 yeah as I said I think it's fantastic
it would urge you to play it if you didn't at the time and if you did its
back out so thank you all my fault I don't I hope not
thanks Adam for stopping and playing this with me all right see it
