One-Make Racing Games

F1 Games: Part 2

Time Extend Revo continues its exploration of decades' worth of Formula 1 video games, starting with the Nintendo 64 and taking it through the Xbox 360 and PS3 era. By the end, it's pretty clear that the boys have a couple favorites—and of course, that the honorable mention will forever go to F1 Race Stars. Songs ordered by appearance: "Main Menu" from Formula One 2001, "Track Select" from Grand Prix Challenge, "Congratulations" from F1 Super Lap, and a cover of T-Square's "Truth" from F1 Grand Prix Part III.

F1 Games: Part 1

For as long as there have been racing games, there have basically been Formula 1 games. This episode, Adam, Andrew, and Paul explore about 20 years of digital representations of the pinnacle of motorsport, from the early days of Pole Position to the sport's first forays into polygons. We don't cover literally every game, but we talk about an awful lot of them. Join us later for Part 2, where we pick up where we left off here, with the N64. Songs ordered by appearance: "Hockenheim" from F1 Challenge, "Results" from Virtua Racing FlatOut, and "Car Select" from Grand Prix Challenge.

Screamer

Two years after a surprise debut at The Game Awards, Milestone's anime-inspired reenvisioning of Screamer is here, and the boys each feel some different type of way about it. A narrative-heavy arcade racer oozing ambition with a cohesive art style and unique gameplay, it's the kind of game we at Time Extend always love to support, even if its story is at times nonsensical, and even if it carries a hard learning curve. Will it eventually go down as a classic, or burn up like a shooting star? Songs ordered by appearance: "BonBomb" by Hex Archive, "Arcade" by VGR, and "Can You Keep Up?" by Hex Archive, all from Screamer.

MRC Revisited + Racing on the Analogue 3D

Somehow, Genki's Multi Racing Championship has wound up on Time Extend's Mount Rushmore of racing games, and the boys try to once and for all unpack whether or not it's actually a good game. What follows is a random discussion of N64 racers via the Analogue 3D before multiple gaming-related topics that have nothing at all to do with virtually driving cars. We weren't planning for this to be the return of the Free Practice episodes of old, but that's pretty much what happened.

Inventing Our Own Racing Games: A TXR Special

If the hosts of Time Extend Revo could design their own racing games, what would they dream up? This is precisely the question asked and answered in this latest special from the mind of Brendan Rorrison, as the boys pitch projects in a round-robin format, drawing upon games of all genres to sell their ideas. From cross-country rallies to good old-fashioned touring car racing and cars that grind, the results are all over the map, with a few surprising similarities. Here's a link to the spreadsheet [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LveMATiNoyZRHhhLRIuZFm8UznXmxEYmM7IJ-SmOihg/edit?usp=drivesdk] that lists out all the components of each game concept.
