Current Events > Literally Extreme-G 2 on Steam

(+) Yeah! (+)

Lousy Gaben, you keep peddling me early access trash and waifu simulators, but your suggestions never touched this crowning jewel of combat racing

Looks like it's a no frills direct port of the original, but a 68 Camaro doesn't start sucking just because it doesn't look and handle like the 2017 Z1
---

Whoa, talk about a blast from the past. How did the 2nd one compare to the first? I remember having a great time playing the first game on the N64. I always appreciate these companies that try to keep old games alive on new hardware.
---

I remember it basically being like the first game but better. At least they pointed out there's riders in those things.
---

I nostalgia'd@the topic title
---

added to the wishlist
---

it's a shame I have no clue how much it's going to cost, but my wild guess is between $10-15
---

Meh, I'll stick to my N64 cart if the frame rate is anywhere under 26fps.
---

based on the video in the store page, it looks like it's running at 30 fps
---

Looking through the discussions on Steam and they basically say it'll be in the original resolutions? Like 800x600, considering it's a PC port from '98? It was kind of a roundabout answer in which a dev said they don't have any of the assets for improving, so they're just porting it. I couldn't imagine them charging more than $10 for it.
---

yeah, that would make more sense

kinda makes me wonder why they picked that game and not the first one

also, there was a PS2 era Extreme-G game that will likely be harder to get the rights for since it had licensed music
---

A dev said in one of the topics that there was already a PC release of 2, so it was probably easier to start from that to get it working and sellable.
---

"It's as Chizu said, XG2 is one with a PC port already so it's a relatively easy enough port over to Steam.

We cannot promise being able to bring other Extreme-G titles over, but we will undoubtedly try as we know they are fan favourites!"

Whoa I had no idea Extreme-G 2 was on PC already. Never played 2. I played the first on my N64 a lot, but honestly don't remember it too fondly.
