Extreme-G 2

Random Scuffed Games #141 https://twitch.tv/DitoMido Aktuelle Spielequeue: https://rsg.ditomido.de Vorgeschlagen von: Delphinio XG2 ist ein sehr schneller Racer aus der Äre um F-Zero etc. und bringt den Twist, dass man durch Aufnahme von Waffen etwas einfluss auf as Geschehen nehmen kann. Alles wirkt sehr Dystpisch Cyberpunkig und etwas düster. Allerdings bekomme ich hier nicht den Eindruck, dass es eine Art Lore gibt oder eine Geschichte zu verfolgen. Für die Damalige Zeit ist das Spiel wirklich nicht schlecht, vor allem für den Preis heute wenn man einen Schnellen Racer wie F-Zero möchte bei dem einem beinahe schwindlich wird und man die Orientierung verliert. Ich meine, ich habe F-Zero GX Gespielt und bin schlimmeres gewohnt, denke aber dass es sich bei diesen Genre wirklich sehr um Geschmackssache handelt. Nostalgiker werden hier fündig, für einen Neueinstieg sind andere Spiele eher ratsam. Musik und und Grafik teilweise ganz cool, nur manchmal hört man die Musik nicht wirklich oder sie fehlt gänzlich.

как поменять вид на клавиатуре обратно от третьего лица

Sometimes it disables keyboard input at the start of the race, this always happens when above the default resolution It does not work with my Series X controller, unless I use Steam input, however that also becomes disabled along with the keyboard The frame rate is locked at 30 fps, this makes it very unpleasant when turning or going through areas with lightning or flashing lights

So, to get this out of the way, this is a port, not a remake. You're getting a 1998 n64 racer by a dead dev; it's a miracle it works at all. That being said, the framerate (hardware allowing) is above the n64 original and there's been some polish to the lighting and reflections. Also for some reason the dev saw fit to include 5 whole OST's from the Extreme-G franchise with the install in readable format. I can't fathom why, but god bless em for it. The original n64 OST is amazing. Velofire (the pink bike) has been re-skinned for some reason, if that's a deal-breaker. There's also no splitscreen multiplayer; if you are one of the 12 people still playing n64 racing games in 2026 and another of the 12 happens to live in your house, emulate the original. You are [u]required to use a keyboard during menus[/u] which sucks, but I get it, technical limitations in an ancient engine. You [u]can use a controller in actual gameplay,[/u] though, by setting a controller preference in the launcher menu. ========== [h3]Workarounds/troubleshooting:[/h3] There is a compatibility issue with getting the game to recognize controllers (which you should be using; the game is extremely twitchy). If you selected your controller in the launcher but the game doesn't recognize your inputs INGAME, exit, right-click the game on your steam library, go to properties>controller>Override for Extreme-G2, and on the drop-down menu choose 'Disable Steam Input.' The game should recognize the controller once you get into a race. The community-sourced defaults are... an interesting choice to say the least. You can re-map the controls by pressing Spacebar while on the character select screen. ========== In short, it's not the most well-behaved port, but with a few tweaks (see above) it works well and the OST's are worth the price alone.

i hate that you have to give either thumbs up or down, there is no middle ground for a review for a game just for nostalgia reasons i'll give it a thumbs up but let me tell you, the xbox controls are messed up press A to accelerate press X to use NOS (you literally have one thumb on a hand) press left bumper/shoulder button to use power up. left analog stick seems to be on point though. the trigger buttons should make you accelerate, we all know that! >:( you still have to use the keyboard for the main menu screens. that screenshot i took though, that body tea XD

This is a terrible port of a good game. Despite that, it is still a good game.

童年的回憶。後面幾關很難，一直過不了。但整體很好玩很刺激。

This version/port is a complete joke. Out of 4 hours of playtime I've spent 2 making it run properly and later it broke again. The game itself is good but you'll be better off with n64 emulator.

terrible port! buggy resolution! spectacularly bad performance! atrocious controller support! i suppose a descent port is too much to expect from Throwback Entertainment.

Extreme-G 2 is a futuristic combat racing title developed by Acclaim Cheltenham and published by Throwback Entertainment. Originally released during the late 1990s and later brought to Steam for modern audiences, the game remains a distinctive entry in the arcade racing genre thanks to its intense emphasis on speed, aggressive weapon-based competition, and imaginative science-fiction settings. Rather than pursuing realism, it embraces a vision of high-tech motorcycle racing where competitors tear across futuristic circuits at astonishing velocities while exchanging devastating attacks in a battle for first place. The game's most impressive feature is its extraordinary sensation of speed. From the moment a race begins, Extreme-G 2 delivers a relentless rush that few racing games can match. The futuristic bikes accelerate to incredible levels, creating a constant feeling that players are barely maintaining control as the scenery races past. This overwhelming pace is a defining aspect of the experience, transforming every corner, jump, and obstacle into a test of concentration and reflexes. The famous sonic boom effect generated at top speeds further enhances the excitement, making each race feel like a futuristic adrenaline ride rather than a conventional motorsport event. Track design plays a major role in keeping the experience engaging. The game offers a variety of environments that range from advanced metropolitan landscapes to underwater passages, industrial complexes, and exotic natural locations. These tracks are significantly wider and faster than many courses found in competing racers from the same era, allowing players to fully exploit the game's remarkable sense of speed. Each circuit introduces different hazards, shortcuts, and visual themes, ensuring that races rarely feel repetitive. The futuristic presentation gives the locations a unique personality and reinforces the game's science-fiction atmosphere. Combat mechanics provide another layer of depth beyond pure racing skill. Players can equip and deploy various weapons designed to hinder opponents and secure advantageous positions. Missiles, mines, and other offensive tools transform every race into a chaotic contest where survival and strategic aggression are just as important as taking corners efficiently. The combat system encourages players to remain aware of their surroundings, balancing offensive opportunities with defensive considerations. This blend of racing and vehicular combat creates a more dynamic experience than traditional racers that focus solely on speed. Vehicle selection also contributes to the game's replay value. The roster includes multiple futuristic bikes with distinct statistics affecting acceleration, handling, traction, durability, and overall performance. Some machines cater to players who prefer maximum speed, while others offer better control or stronger defensive capabilities. Learning the strengths and weaknesses of each vehicle becomes an important part of mastering the game. Unlockable content, including hidden bikes and additional characters, further rewards dedicated players who invest time into exploring everything the game has to offer. The audiovisual presentation reflects both the strengths and limitations of its era. While the graphics naturally show their age when compared to modern releases, they still succeed in conveying the futuristic world that the developers envisioned. Bright visual effects, imaginative vehicle designs, and creative environments help maintain the game's identity. The soundtrack deserves particular recognition, featuring energetic electronic music that perfectly complements the high-speed gameplay. The Steam release enhances the package by including soundtrack options, controller support, cloud functionality, and other conveniences that make the classic title easier to enjoy on contemporary systems. Despite its many positive qualities, Extreme-G 2 is not without shortcomings. The extreme speed that defines the game can occasionally become a source of frustration, particularly for newcomers who may struggle with the demanding handling model. Crashes can occur suddenly, and some sections require quick reactions that leave little room for error. The game's age is also evident in its menus, interface design, and overall presentation. Players accustomed to modern accessibility features, tutorials, and streamlined progression systems may find the experience less approachable than contemporary racing titles. Even with these limitations, Extreme-G 2 remains an entertaining and memorable arcade racer. Its commitment to delivering pure speed, combined with satisfying combat mechanics and imaginative futuristic tracks, gives it a character that still stands out years after its original release. While it may not have the polish of modern racers, it offers a level of intensity and excitement that continues to appeal to fans of classic arcade-style competition. For players seeking a nostalgic return to the era of futuristic combat racing or newcomers interested in exploring a unique piece of racing game history, Extreme-G 2 remains well worth experiencing.
