I've been sinking further and further into the RetroDECK time-sink of setting up my emulators just so, and having the most fun doing so. The PS2 is a largely unknown system to me, I neither had one nor spent much time before now playing through some titles.
So...this is what I have so far! Most have either HD texture packs (Rule of Rose for example, and also Silent Hill 2 has a incredibly big 29GB of HD textures, I added after taking this screenshot), or mods applied (Gran Turismo is Spec II)
I haven't got MGS3 there, as I'm waiting for the remake to arrive, but...
Can anyone suggest any titles which are 'must adds' for me? I'd appreciate it!
You know I was never a car girl...for the most part. But the last 12 months or so I have become obsessed with rally racing: the games, and the history (Group B!). From there I ended up watching general car movies, like Le Mans (or is the title The 24 Hours of Le Mans? I never remember), and finally...yes, just finished watching the original two Fast and Furious movies just last week! I think I like the second one most, it is cringe, but in a fun nice way!
Thank you, this looks perfect!
When you race Roy, tell him fuck you from me
Also, if you ever end up playing Forza Horizon 5 to scratch your rally itch please add me because none of my friends like rally and I’m getting tired of looking at pavement.
This invitation is open to anyone, my Steam and Xbox profiles are both “tekeous”. Add me and let me know you came from Lemmy
Midnight club 3 dub edition was THE game my brother and I played to the point the disk stopped reading eventually. That was a sad day.
If you're getting into motorsports in general and you liked rally I might recommend checking out the isle of Mann tt. It's the single most deadly motorsports event held each year. It averages more than two and a half deaths every year. Last year was super rare in that nobody died. Last time that happened was like 2012 I think. The most insane race car drivers in the world will tell you that nobody is more batshit crazy that the Isle of man riders. Even rally drivers look at them and think they are nuts.

Fucking teeth gritted the entire time. I thought I was living on the edge.
That is insane!
No what's insane is these riders will fly past spectators mere inches from a wall at speeds upwards of 200mph.
The highest recorded speed of the riders on one of the straights is 206mph I believe. The record for highest average speed of a lap (which is nearly 38 miles long) was 136mph in a little over 16 minutes.
Insane doesn't even begin to describe these riders and that race.
