I came home from school one day and heard my brother playing something extremely loud. I walked into his room and my jaw dropped. I asked "What is this?" My brother replied, "Road Rash." I looked down and noticed a 3DO console on the floor that my brother had checked out from his work. I played the crap out of it and was totally entranced by it's beauty. Unfortunately the 3DO had to go back and I would never get to play it again since 3DO consoles were stupidly expensive.
The Genesis version was fun for sure, but the 3DO version was on a whole different level all together. It was fast and the visuals were simply unmatched. Since there was already a Road Rash on Genesis, this one is referred to as Road Rash 32-bit. After the 3DO died, I found out this game was being ported to the Playstation. I bought this game on day one. The Playstation version took a slight graphical hit just like Need For Speed did for some reason, but it is very slight and you wouldn't be able to tell unless you compared the PS1 and 3DO versions side by side. The upside is the Playstation version runs smoother and faster.
Road Rash is so much fun it's a sin. There is not much I can say after watching this video. It speaks for itself. This is a racing game that your eyes start burning from forgetting to blink. Because if you blink, you could miss that car coming right at you or get kicked off the road by an opponent. When you do, you can't be upset because you're too busy laughing watching your guy get flung off his motorcycle at breakneck speeds. For anyone who might be wondering I was playing this game on level 3. I didn't want to do level one because I wanted to see some serious action. Toward the end of this video you'll see a montage of some hilarious wipe outs and some serious beatings that was taken from other races I captured but did not win.
There were two more installments of Road Rash on the Playstation after this one. Road Rash 3D replaced all the sprite based cars, motorcycles, and characters with polygon graphics. Road Rash: Jail Break followed suit. IMO neither of those games captured the magic of the first one. Neither of them had the tight play control this one has. Road Rash 64 on the N64 was not very good as it was too much of a combat game over a racing and was lacking significantly in the visual department. Road Rash 32-bit was also ported to the Sega Saturn which seemed to follow closer to the PC version instead of the original 3DO version sound wise. I didn't like the Saturn version because they changed the music and took the funny sound effects away. Some may say the Saturn version looks and sounds better and more "realistic".
If you love racing games and don't have this game, you are missing out.
The memories!!! Ill never forget that awesome feeling of kicking an opponent into an oncoming car!
wait what the hell? Go play some Siege lmao
My fav. is mike 😁
What a weird coincidence this is lol
Same here man
My favorite memory apart for this one was to drive over the walking pedestrians
man we had it good in the 90s.
That is an understatement.
man we had it REALLY good in the 90s? better? lol
Remember the good times... Much better :D
OldsXCool haha, merry xmas dude :D
Remember the good times... and merry Christmas to you too :)
My brother died by suicide in February. We used to play Road Rash on Sega then on PS1 for days. I remember Soundgarden's Rusty Cage vividly. I'm playing it again on emulators in their memory.
Dr Jones , Sorry for your loss. Sounds like a kickass bro if yall bonded over games. Me and my brother played this till are thumbs hurt when we were kids! Takes us back to better days.
I lost mine 10 years ago. It's really tough, but the good memories stay forever. I feel like all bros loved racing games haha.
I'm so sorry to hear that. It somehow feels like our generation of the 80s-90s is lost and nostalgic, I hope we find our way.
R.I.P
So sorry :( Hold onto those memories and he'll always be with you.
Back then everyone was like "the graphics look so real" lmao.
LMAO my stomach LMAO !!! they sure did say that shit LOL " Look at how realistic the graphics are " !!!! LMAO
***** lol same here ps1 were latest
***** it wuz real during that PRE HISTORIC TIMES ;) har har har :P
I guess you're right, today's game are boring for the most part lol
+Stefan Humbleton omg i was thinking the same when i used to play the game back then hahahahahahahaha i was like this game looks soooo real
i can't believe what i was seeing back in them old days look at them pixels and i was believing that was close to the real life lol
Pure nostalgia. And this is one of the greatest games made for PS1.
What’s crazy is first time I played it was on a 3do .. the system made by Panasonic lol
It's not that much different to the game on Mega Drive/Genesis, aside from the awesome CD soundtrack.
Also one of the very first PS1 games
@@DoubleMonoLRactually nah it kinda is tbh, even the combat is a bit different here. Road rash games on the Genesis always had a very clunky feel to it and a lack of serious feeling of speed even when you upgrade to the best bike and all the modifications in those ports. Also combat wasn’t as good because every time you tried to hit someone on the Genesis ports chances are you wouldn’t land a hit because your bike would just shove them out the way instead making combat not as smooth or fun as it should be
Road Rash 32bit fixes all of those problems and takes away the whole countryside vibe and gives us an extremely badass mid 90s grunge/alt rock vibe instead. In my opinion, quite a bit of differences for the better and just shits all over the Genesis games
Can we just appreciate how amazing this intro is with Soundgarden!
What’s the song name.
@@TheMroneloveSoundgarden - Rusty cage
This was my introduction to Soundgarden. I was born in 89 and my parents didn't listen to any grunge besides my mom liking Pearl Jam. Everything else was dismissed as an Eddie Vedder rip off.
That EPIC startup Sony sound.... " Beeooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.... buuurrrmmmmmmmmmmm *twinkle twinkle*" Damn nobody has made a better sound!
No truer words have ever been spoken ;)
Jesus. lol. That PS1 opening. Brings back memories.
The into gave me goosebumps and reminded me of my childhood lol
you're not the only one
watched the full video, because I miss my childhood
I had so much fun playing this game back in the days, but it used to scare the shit out of me at the same time, that punky-outlaw feeling and those cinematics gave Road Rush such a unique and great atmosphere.
Still having good nostalgia memories of playing this in the late 90's with my buddy on his big screen TV in 2022......
Damn I'm old.....*cries*
OMG that intro brings me right back.. Epic times.. I turn and look at my PS4 and think will it ever bring me the joys of the old days.. It will in about 10 years when I look back at it lol
damn that intro was sexy now i dont regret spending the majority of my childhood playing video games
i remember 90s playstation intros had the best and imho the most realest intros out there. they were so good it just added to the experience xD
That intro is sexy as fuck mang
Man, the lack of live action in video games these days is sad.
I think this is the first Playstation game I ever played. I was blown away by this console and all it could do.
God I love this game! Hits me right in the nostalgia bone, man.
I have that same bone!
This could really need a remake for ps4 and pc. I mean the concept is brilliant and then add multiplayer.
czcams.com/video/j-ZYwbJtQ9g/video.html
Not anymore. Sony and Microsoft seem to think multiplayer is exclusively other consoles. They don't do split screen anymore, and that would take most of the fun out of it.
FlashGordon yes most deffenly
the xbox has cross platform multiplayer games, there is still the problem with sony however
check out Road Redemption
I'm having withdrawal nearly 20 years on..man was this a great game! The game play, upgrades, comical cutscenes, and even a screensaver of awesome real footage of bikes. What the hell happened to you EA?
They discovered FIFA football and micro transactions
they need to remake this game, i can only imagine the graphics and rag doll physics it'll have.
nah, this road rash is still better than road redemption
nahh those 2d sprite animation makes it more funny and quirky unlike its 3D counterparts..
Its EA you need to play a dollar via microstransactions if you want to get back on your bike.
Road redemption ( steam)
One of the most awesome games ever made. They should do a remake or a remastered version with the same elements that made this game great. Just saying.
About 10 years ago I went to every pawnshop in town, finally the last one I found this game. I had given mine to a little boy in a wheelchair. I was so happy to get another copy. I still have to this day.👍👍👍
If you were anything like me you never saw that cut scene at 7:55, you always got the one of being handcuffed to the police bike, and being dragged along behind it :(
This game is still as entrancing as it was 30 years ago, and the level of detail that went into the artwork for both the characters and the environments is insane. Video games today just don't have the soul that the old ones did.
Hands down one of the most kickass intros to anything in the history of ever
Man, the memories :( time passed so quickly. This game was fucking epic, good old times....
this game brings back so much memories i remember telling my cousin theres no way graphics can get any better than this
Fantasic game, the hours i spent on this. What brilliant memories, the graphics are hilarious but amazing back in the day.
cant believe EA made this game
It's not hard to believe if you were gaming back when Electronic Arts was awesome. They are nothing like they used to be now.
OldsXCool i thought the only good gaming series they had was the nfs series till most wanted 2005 clearly i am wrong
EA died after 2011
Dead space is fucken sick!!!
An old EA game that was awesome was future cop LA PD and you drove this robot that was kinda like an ED209 but also turned into a hovercar plus it was stacked with missiles and machine guns.
One of the first games I played on Playstation 1. It was just so fun!
Awesome game. To complete the last level needed concentration. Good old days
THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD OMFG
I’m 31 years old and probably haven’t played or seen this game since I was 7…but watching this makes it feel like it was only yesterday, it’s crazy! How time flies
This was a really well tuned game. Reaction time and quick reflexes worked like they were supposed to.
My brother owns a 3DO and I have seen them both on a big screen. While the PS1 version took a very slight graphical hit in the porting process, the game actually runs much faster and smoother. You notice the frame hiccups more because it's smoother than the 3DO. Also the 3DO version has just as much draw in but it's less noticeable due to the 3DO fading in the scenery vs. the PS1 simply popping in. About being less saturated, that is just the PS1's overall output due to it's higher contrast.
this game is a masterpiece, me and my cousin would play this game for hours. my favorite thing to do was taking the other racers bikes, sometimes you'll get lucky and get a fast bike
That opening guitar music kicking in right after the opening PS logo🔥 spent so much time playing it and fell off the bike on purpose to walk the street on foot
9:19, that kick had some disrespect to it and I love it.
It’s indescribable how wonderful this game is to remember.
man this brings back memories. From a time when EA was Electronic Arts, Soundgarden was topping the music charts and when you bought a game you actually got the whole fucking game. no homo, no DLC.
No homo WTF????
This game is special to me because it was actually the very first PS1 game I ever played! I remember getting amazed by the fact that the game was on a CD and the film based intro just blew my mind!!! Jumping from 16bit to 32bit technology was something surreal, going from cartoon based games to 3D rendering was a milestone and I'll never forget that feeling!!
I had to come search road rash on ps1 just to make sure i was not dreaming back then. Thank god it was real. Great time to be that young and just playing one hell of a game. 😢
What a great game it was, simple and fun.
so much memories man...
Yeahhhh
What a game. I got reminded of this game as Soundgarden rusty cage song was playing randomly on my prime music. 1st playstation game I played. I was blown away by the graphics back then!
This is a chart based on what is good in powder.
Each sled is built for everything different.
For example, firecat, crossfire, and M series. Firecat was trail, crossfire was trail and powder, M was all mountain.
It’s like comparing apples to oranges, very different sleds.
Man I spent a lot of hours on this back then. I remember I was expressly forbidden by my parents to use the chain to hit the other motorcyclists, or watch that intro video because it was violent. Fast forward a decade or so, and my little brother is tearing apart the innocent in God of War. Oh the joys of beeing the practice child -.-
DahBjorn Lol! Hopefuly he's not playing Mortal Kombat X. That game makes MY stomach turn and I grew up with video games.
OldsXCool Hehe, maybe my brother and I should both play it to see if we react differently? I'm gonna guess no even though it'd sad to imagine I had a Tekken-less childhood for nothing :S
DahBjorn i used to pretend i was going to my uncles and say hi to him in the taxi.. and if not, to me, this was a real world to itself, even the car drivers to me, always had a life inborn and designed into the game, even the sheeps or cows in countrysides
This game was a pleasure to play on slit screens. We often settled our sibling battles by unplugging the other players controller when it become physical.
Dude, this is still a fantastic game. None of the new shit they release will ever be like the old school games! I want my childhood back, NOW!
the ps1 intro makes me so happy inside!!! ^^
Probably the only good memories of my dad involved taking turns playing this game back in the day. Damn, time flies..
I remember it took me like a months to get the best "Rat Bike" in the game. being in elementary school, i sucked at video games, but this thing had me glued to the tv.
The game that makes you laugh like a maniac: Road Rash
The Tito TV Show yes and that fight and punch and accident
my dad used to play this when I was in preschool and I'd watch him. it looked fun and watching this brings back some memories! I wish we still had our ps1..
This game was God level awesome back in high school. I've never seen so much 90s wrapped up in one disc
Such a classic game, can't wait for Road Redemtion, looks like an awesome remake.
When I turned 10 my parents gave me a Playstation 1, later that day my grandma visited and gave me a bunch of PS1 games including this one.
I doubt my grandma knew what kind of game she gave me, what a sweet lady she was.
used to play this all the time as a kid when i was at my dad's house. just randomly thought of the game today and had to check it out, nice upload man!
26 years ago I had this game I'm in my 30s now I was 10 years old still remember this thanks for sharing 😎✊
I'd love to see this in the new consoles generations!
havent seen this intro for 15 years but i still remebered it
i want to cry , this game remind me at my brother i didn't see him since 7 years , but this summer we will meet finally
So awesome that people are remaking this kinda "Road Redemption" such nostalgia
:D
You have absolutely no idea how much fun i had with this game!
I was 5 years old when i played this
I was obsessed with this on PSX back in the day. My parents wouldn’t buy it, so I just kept renting it whenever I could at various points throughout the year. I remember loving the Soundgarden songs and feeling of violence.
The PS1 will forever have the greatest startup noises of any system.
i played this in the 90s holy shit best game ever!
Sooo much memoriesz comin bk to watchin thisz... i played thisz game damn near everyday
I got this game and a ps1 on my 7th birthday. I remember playing it before going to school
Watching the Playstation loading screen is like watching porn. So satisfying it makes me drool.
You guys remember when talking about "FMV" was cutting edge? My mind was blown by the real footage and music in this game, it's still one of the best videogame soundtracks of all time.
I miss this game a lot...
That's a very valid question. I recently just opened up all ratings on all my videos as where they used to be disabled. I never cared about ratings, but since I'm not updating this channel anymore I figured, what the hell. People like rating stuff. I'm glad you liked my video.
Watching this in 2021, i'm 29 now, how nostalgic is this! I remember that before the first GTA or driver 2, the thing that i loved was to explore the game scenários searching for the limits or some easteregg! what a great feeling!
I don't care for racing games much but man did I play Road Rash for hours. Back when I had the Sega Channel, I would play Road Rash 3 all freaking day. It was addicting. I also remember playing Road Rash for the Sega Saturn followed by the one for the PS 1. Great memories.
Thank you for these 90s memories🤛🏾 You the man!
OMG, YYEESSSS!!!!!!!, this game was my entire child hood, god i loved this game.
I laughed so hard. ^^ That was such a wonderful time with this game.
kickass levels, unlockables, fully customizable, and awesome graphics and online play? ill buy in a heart beat
Man that intro takes me back! :D
A game with Soundgarden's soundtrack could not be forgotten
Such a great game. Rewarded the perfect blend of precision & speed.
Awesome soundtrack, too!
90s: best era! Grunge and awesome games!
That description made my nostalgia hit me like a airbus a380
good old time... still remember many details!
dude completly forgot about this game until i saw the video of the bikers attacking that suv...
I used to play this every time I went to my cousins house back in the day. It was my favorite game. The cut scenes were great, especially if you get busted and the cop drags you behind his motorcycle. I had forgotten what it was called and spent a good portion of the last 10 years trying to remember so I could buy it. I’ve finally found you, you beautiful son of a bitch.
i really miss this game , i play this game non stop every day when i am a teen , i miss the 2D game and the pixel :(
I loved that game. And the soundtrack from soundgardens rusty cage is awesome
Holy shit I loved this game. I still remember the summer our reflexes died and we could no longer hack the pace...
Its crazy to look back on this now. At the time, it seriously looked so realistic and lifelike to me. It looked like what ps4 games look like to me now.
Memories of
childhood.🤗
Been getting back into the PS1. Looking at all the games for America and Japan, it's just a huge treasure trove of titles. Granted this was better on 3DO, but the PS1 had such diversity! Something modern Sony could learn with their PS4.
No wonder I like Soundgarden so much. Never realised till now, watching this again many years after I played it as a wee lad, that they were on this game.
Loved this game so much always played it when was younger
I loved this game lol I even have rusty cage on my phone just because it was the theme song of this game!
This video made me smile just from the memories of playing this on my ps1 and ps2 I’m gonna need to find someone selling it
PS1 Intro always made me ready for the game I was playing.
Those hills were guaranteed to have a car😂😂😂😂😅. I loved how when you kicked people you got more max speed 😂😂😂.
I had this as part of the "Help Compilation". A triple packed PS1 game featuring Broken Sword, Myst and Road Rash. Hours of fun playing it :D
