Exploring 50 Dead Racing Games on Steam

Déjà Drift is continuing its development. It's worth supporting: store.steampowered.com/app/1914390/Dj_Drift/ (not sponsored, just recommendation)

Déjà Drift developer here. It's nice to hear what you thought about our game! We released the game last August right before I started my senior year of college. That was our deadline because I knew I would be too busy with senior projects to keep working on it. I've since graduated and we are now deciding how we are going to move forward with the project. Big thanks to those of you who joined our Discord server, told us about this video, and asked us to keep working on it!

Watching track master: “Huh seems like a neat idea, shame abo- …is that HITLER??!”

As an asset developer, and the developer of NWH Vehicle Physics 2 which is frequently the top selling vehicle physics for Unity, this video was interesting to watch. Most of the issues seen in the video (in regards to the driving physics) could have been solved with a bit of tweaking. E.g., the karting flipping over in corners is because the developer placed the center of mass somewhere far below the kart - essentially turning it into a pendulum. The cars that do not want to steer most likely either have CoM or inertia messed up, etc.

It’s always sad to see games that developers genuinely put time and effort into with good concepts get buried in steam to never been noticed. It’s like painting an exhibition for an art gallery but they put it at the back of the museum and don’t tell anybody it’s there. There might genuinely be great stuff that nobody has ever seen or heard of.

The devs really put Hitler in the car 5:28 💀

That total price was as calculated as the total points in that one Chinese FH5 tournament. Regardless, quite a hefty price to pay for our entertainment. I appreciate the dedication.

Deja Drift looks like a good game, pity that it has not triumphed. PS: Excellent video Sepi, it shows that you work a lot your videos, keep it up ❤💪

duuude this is your best video so far, the dedication to play the worst games on the platform for this long is insane gives me motivation to continue my own game

Quantum Apex has the unique distinction of being the only game to make me ask, "why does the car have antlers?"

Big respect for using the soundtracks from the Need for Madness stages as background music. It was the first game I ever played.

Sepi I noticed that you used a lot of songs from an old game called Need For Madness. I used to be a very active member within that community, going by the name 3334. Did you also play or did you simply sample the level songs? So nice to hear them again, an absolute trip through nostalgia :)

What I love about your channel - really, really LOVE - is how genuine you are. You buy these games and poke fun at the things they get wrong if it is clear it was due to laziness or hubris, but you also fairly point out the good things and are not above saying a game is actually good when it is. You make me laugh at blunders or by pointing out funny decisions, yet you also come across as a reliable source of information due to the depth of research you do.

A lot of these games are pretty much like what I did for the racing game I made for college assignment in both quality and jank. That if I were to release it I'm sure it'll probably something in the list as well, and coming from that, this vid is a great way to show what to do and what to not do for a lot of devs as well like me especially with your insights. I didn't expect the vid is also well researched to the point of joining discord servers and finding which asset store game template it's using, great video!

16:00 “Have you seen a racing game where a wooden box represents nitro or speed boost?” Crash Nitro Cart (I think)

Babe wake up, Sepi uploaded.

23:42 first racing game to ever include Milei as a playable character, 10/10

I love these types of videos. Keep it up! ❤

5:35 AYO WTF HITLER IS DRIVING A CAR?!

Actual free to play mobile game quality. How can people seriously call games like project cars 3 "mobile game" when these exist
