OLD, but now it's official official

April 2008

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #1 on:** February 14, 2008, 02:55:01 PM »

I hadn't heard of it before

I hope it has no demo

Here's where I broke the news back in April of 2007

No idea if it's any good, but apparently people jizz over it - good thing there is a DEMO

It has online, and 4p offline

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #4 on:** February 14, 2008, 02:57:17 PM »

demi

More than 4p online or no?

I rented it once on PS1 back in the day, I remember liking it but preferring TM so not buying it.

That's not saying much. Car combat games almost always suck.

best car combat game ever. but for the most part, i agree with you smooth.

Is that on a linear track? If so, Road Rash

abrader · « **Reply #10 on:** February 14, 2008, 03:41:48 PM »

V8 is great.

I had it on N64.

Its on PS2/PSone also.

abrader · « **Reply #11 on:** February 14, 2008, 03:42:13 PM »

iis car combat with a disco theme - good stuff.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #12 on:** February 14, 2008, 03:45:16 PM »

I will definitely download the demo first

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #13 on:** February 14, 2008, 03:45:30 PM »

To make sure it's not just nostalgia

I just don't like arena combat with cars. Rail shooting car games are alright.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #15 on:** February 14, 2008, 04:44:14 PM »

Spyhunter for the PS2 was not bad.

Robo · « **Reply #16 on:** February 14, 2008, 05:00:54 PM »

Vigilante 8 came out at a time when the Twisted Metal series was at an all time low, so I think most people's perception of it was seriously skewed by the direct comparison. Nice at the time, but it's not anywhere near as good as Twisted Metal Black or subsequent car combat games.

y2kev · « **Reply #17 on:** February 14, 2008, 05:26:49 PM »

Agreed. V8 is good. I remember playing it on the N64 with the hi res mode enabled at like 10 FPS.

Twisted Metal Black takes a giant dump in its face though. TM2 (and, by extension, Head On) and Black are really excellent games. 1, 3, 4, and Small Brawl are kinda embarrassing.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #18 on:** February 14, 2008, 06:07:27 PM »

Vigilante 8 was barely playable when it first came out (1998?)

Id imagine Its a fucking shocker now

but online could be amusing...

400 points or bust, considering you can buy the original game for less than $5

Robo · « **Reply #19 on:** February 14, 2008, 06:21:16 PM »

It's a ground-up remake, so playability shouldn't be a problem.

hyp · « **Reply #20 on:** February 14, 2008, 06:44:36 PM »

60fps (no tearing) or bust

I think its more like the best Outrun-with-guns ever made, but yeah, Roadblasters is fecking awesome.

Yea right

Maybe on PSN

Vigilante 8 is in my all-time top 10. What a great game. Plays well, locales are exciting, combat is good. It was everything the completely ridiculous vehicle-combat genre should be

Bloodwake · « **Reply #25 on:** February 15, 2008, 10:45:51 AM »

OH MY GOD

I WANT

You see, whenever I had a N64 and no PS1, this is what I would play. For hours, and hours and hours.

SO FUN.
