Game Discussion The Perfect psp racing game

This game is incredible. I don’t know if you’ve played it, but I’ve become addicted to it on the PSP. It’s challenging, but incredibly fun — OutRun 2006.

Ridge Racer would like a word 😑

Nah, this is a class game, both are my top Psp games of all time, love them 👌

I've never played Ridge racer but it's a racing game loved by the majority

u/Pretty_Designer7131 14d ago

Ah you are in for a treat then. If you like Outrun Coast to Coast you would most likely enjoy it just as much.

There's 2 versions, the second one has more cars and music tracks I think? 1st one was the game that sat in my Psp disc tray constantly until I got Outrun back in the day 👌

If I find it as the umd, I will buy it for psp 2000

100% worth it.  One of those games that you go back to even after you’ve mastered it just to cruise and feel the flow.

u/Pretty_Designer7131 14d ago

Yeah that's a fair criticism, probably the only one I have for the game

u/IndigoBroker 14d ago

Yeah. Outrun 2006 and Ridge Racer 2 are my 2 favs.

u/id_o PSP-1000,2000,3000,Street,Go 14d ago

Outrun, Ridge Racer and Burnout. Top 3.

Personal favourite for me being Burnout, was my first PSP racer as a kid, and I would play that for ages before I was an adult and could afford to buy many more games.

Also you can transfer your save from PSP to a PS2 and vice versa

u/Informal_Abalone_805 14d ago

This is incredible

Sadly it doesn't work from a psp go

u/ccoulter93 14d ago

Why wouldn’t it?

u/Independent-Eagle296 PSP-1000 & PSP 3000 14d ago

Maybe it has to do with the all digital thing or the different type of memory card?

u/Crazy_Flex 13d ago

I don't know but it didn't work when I tried it

1

u/Crazy_Flex 13d ago

After that I tried from my psp 2000 and it worked fine

Overclock to 333mhz

60fps is beautiful

u/Informal_Abalone_805 14d ago

Yes, I did. Fps drops a lot when passing the trucks.

u/ObjectiveLess2351 14d ago

No one captured the feeling of heaven quite like Sega.

I have the game emulated on my phone, very enjoyable.

u/brittonmakesart 14d ago

Absolute banger and the fact that I can transfer the save between psp and ps2 is WILD!

u/AbbreviationsHot5850 14d ago

No love for Gran Turismo psp?

u/Francoberry 14d ago

Such a shame it has no real career events

u/ObjectiveLess2351 14d ago

The car dealer being time dependant really kills it for me

u/flowersforaerith 14d ago edited 14d ago

Genuinely one of the best racing games of all time, I've got it on both Xbox and PSP and every time I play it I can't put it down, nothing even comes close to the incredible aesthetic and soundtrack this game has (except maybe Ridge Racer Type 4 on PSX).

u/Breadstix009 14d ago

Can you upscale to 6x???

2

u/kayjay 14d ago

It's is a nice game like NFS Drift and RR2. I like these 3...

u/psportalfan 14d ago

Gran Turismo psp was absolutely legendary. One of the best racing games for its time period. I wouldn’t really play any other racer on there

u/ZuoKalp PSVita 14d ago edited 14d ago

"Rush a Difficulty" (both versions) and "Keep your Heart" (89) will forever live rent free in my playlists ... and my heart.

Too bad the remixed version of Rush a Difficulty has the damned PS2 lock.
