    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

          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
