Release date for RE4, Killer 7

[OB1]

Hmm... I played the PC demo of Destruction Derby. It was really, really, hard. It did have some jumps, yes, but shortcuts like that? Again, they bear a strong resemblance to Rush shortcuts and it's not a cooincidence I'm sure.

I said that DD had big jumps, not shortcuts. Rush stole DD's low gravity.

I haven't played most of those games you mention but Mario Kart did not have lots of shortcuts... at least not that type... and NFS? You must be joking! That has very few of them, and you stick to the road almost all the time...

Mario Kart has lots of shortcuts! You're crazy, boy! And NFS has plenty of shortcuts, especially the pre-Hot Pursuit ones.

I didn't say Rush invented it. It just did that 'lots of really cool shortcuts' thing in a way no game had done before. You can't deny that! It did! And BAR is OBVIOUSLY emulating it! I don't see why it's even a question... BAR is NFS crossed with Rush. And is a solid game with flaws.

You are so incredibly wrong that you just tipped my "crazy wrong ABF" scale! Rush did absolutely nothing original, it just stole stuff from a bunch of different games. BAR is like NFS with a little bit of Destruction Derby and zero Rush.

Oh, for another great (non-futuristic) racing game, I really liked Speed Busters (pc)... aka Speed Devils (dreamcast). Much better than (its contemporary) NFSIII, IMO...

Speed Devils isn't very good. Nice tracks, but terrible car handling. The DC online game was addictive but soon got old because of the gameplay.

Thank you for helping to prove my point.

I didn't realize that your point was that Rush sucks.

But it didn't get good reviews from ... just about anywhere! "love" requires good and bad scores. It got almost all bad ones. Rush had a much higher proportion of high scores. Very different.

ETM got plenty of good reviews.
