Topic: Wave Race 64 Recompiled

Looks very impressive:

The new water shading is a matter of taste, but you can set it to the original.

60 FPS really changes the game's feel.

@Qwiff

im very curious to play this! I wonder if I can get it going on my Steamdeck, and how much of a pain it would be?

I love the original and I fully support 60fps*, but like a lot of these things, my first impression is it looks sharper, smoother, and... worse? 🤔

I'd like to see it with the original water shading, as you mentioned 👍

(*in theory.)

• 60-120fps
• HD Rumble 2
• Optional 9-Axis Gyro Steering
• True WideScreen, if possible

If an NS2 Edition with the following above were on the way i'd bite. Other than that. There are already N64 games being VR-ified for PCVR and will eventually be heading to stand alone Quest 3. Playing WaveRace 64 that's running at 90-120fps in '3rd person' VR would be the dream for this dooder! I'll happily hand over my piggy bank that's packed to the brim with 1990 Chuck E Cheese tokens to wish this into fruition.

Funny enough, GamerTagVR from YouTube was so blown away by the recent N64 VR treatment with the likes of Star Fox 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Golden Eye 007(etc), to the point where he flat out canceled his ModRetro 64 pre-order. lol

Once you experience these classics in either SideScroller VR(Think Mischief Makers), top down VR, 3rd person VR or first person(etc) with an N64 controller or even NS2 Pro, there's no going back to playing these flat, other than for warm fuzzy wuzzy' late 90's N64 nostalgia. That, and if you unfortunately succumb to that dreaded motion snickness. You'll transform into a 90's garbage pale kid in no time.
