Can I be removed too please? You have me on your 'inverted red triangle' list...
The inverted triangle under a blue spiral in my profile bio is a reference to the SEGA Dreamcast videogame console as seen in the picture below:

That's some Road Burning Action!

Aesthetically yes, but don't agree with the notion that it's a great 2D controller. The original 3-button controller had an awfully mushy d-pad with very limited travel. The initial (large) 6-button controller did little to address that flaw. However the Japanese-only SJ-6000 is a great controller!

Visually and content-wise, yes. But the handling isn't as refined as the original, there is an over-tendancy for the car to remain in a drift state with lateral forces pushing the car wide. The vehicle handling was coded by a different programer according to Kenji Sasaki (translation in Alt-text).

Oh I discovered it through some fan artist group who make Sega Rally themed logos and graphics for Uma Masume, called Uma Rally 😀 They even sell stickers: booth.pm/en/items/740...

This is still super early in development, but we like sauce too!

Game Informer wasn't any kinder, describing the game as "A Depressing Mid-Life Crisis" and scoring a 6.5, on a page where Karaoke Revolution, Ultra Bust-A-Move, and DDR Ultramix 2 all outscored it. 😞

Virtual Hydlide was ahead of its time... they knew 3rd-person follow-cam jogging through the woods was going to be the trend of the future!

PS4 onwards they saw the value in cinematic ‘story-driven experiences’ as traditional ‘video games’ were being replaced by more passive forms of interactive entertainment, they invested heavily into getting such exclusives, and have shaped the AAA industry and mainstream gaming landscape of today.

Then with the PS3 they saw the success Xbox had in the North American market with online play with Xbox Live, and the ‘bigger is better’ hardware design approach, and they‘ve sort of stolen that and did it better I guess, not initially, but halfway into that generation they were essentially Xbox.

Sony is a conglomerate and they don’t have a single brand identity. PS1 was designed to eat Nintendo’s marketshare, colorful logo on a gray console with family-friendly adventure games and platformers. PS2 went after SEGA with it’s blacked-out edgier look and cool blue logo and more mature titles.

As a developer of an arcade racer, steering wheel input was always a top priority because the ’arcade racers’ I grew up with came in the shape of a coin-op booth with a seat and steering wheel. Just because these were later ported to console doesn’t mean a gamepad was the best way to play them.

I want to see Wave Race Blue Storm and 1080 Avalanche/Snowstorm get revealed for Gamecube NSO, followed by an announcement that both these titles have new entries in the series currently in development.

I urge #Shenmue fans to request @iningames.bsky.social's upcoming #Shenmue3 to give us some more arcade games! Maybe Scud Race and Sega Rally Championship and Outrun 2 with the sponsorship/licenses removed... (in the vein of Sega Racing Classic (Daytona USA) from #Yakuza / #LikeADragonGaiden.

Resonance of Fate, a pretty underrated JRPG, with an innovative (for its time) combat mechanic, and great steampunk art-style!
