I do. Do you remember how the N64 version emulated the arcade version by being played with two controllers? You held one controller in each hand and used the joysticks as the left and right engine throttles.
If it had two sticks and a DVD drive, it would have been really great. But they stuck with the kinda dumb Saturn layout, despite the Dual Shock being out for a couple years at that point. The keyboard and mouse support was an awesome addition, but a dual analog controller would have been awesome.
I played this demo for a game called Ascent: Rivals at a convention last year. It was like a modern pod racing game, it was pretty cool. They have a demo up on steam that I’ve had in my wishlist for a while now, tho I haven’t really looked at it in a year.
Deathgrip is another spiritual successor in the same vein as the one you linked, although it’s been stuck in development hell for a while now I think. I haven’t heard anything about the project since the demo hit and it’s still set to release into early access in 2025
It translates to a more profitable video game
Do you remember the arcade version? That was awesome!!
I had the Win98 version growing up, but i think the Dreamcast one may be better.

Hell yes it was.
I think Dreamcast ran at a much higher frame rate, it looked amazing.
if any franchise needs a reboot is that podracer game.
high speed gladiatorial races. Mario kart with more boomboom
And, it works with the Dreamcast VGA cable. Very nice picture quality.
At the time, the Dreamcast seemed a generation ahead of the competition, I’m still in disbelief that it failed

hope that instead of getting a cease and desist, they get offered to make an official podracer
