heh, while trying out the new controller I noticed that Ridge Racer 64 makes up for its lack of render distance by replacing far away geometry with textures, cleverly hidden at the end of tunnels
@noiob ah yes, the only ridge racer game i’ve ever played,
@sc it's good, but I would recommend playing R4 at some point
@noiob is Revolution any good?
@sc haven't played much of it but as far as I heard it was a pretty impressive arcade conversion (albeit running on a much lower-specced machine). I've only extensively played R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 of the series
@noiob lol this technique lives on as late as halo 4, as far as I know
@noiob i love little cheats like this
this wouldn't be obvious at all at N64 resolutions (and on a CRT)
