OutRun and the Unattainable Horizon

Looking back at the history of racing games, there is one in particular that shines brighter than the rest. A game about enjoying summer's warmth and living in the moment. But what happens beyond the horizon? Where do we find ourselves as life takes us further and further down its highway? 00:00 Introduction to Outrun 04:38 Chapter 1: Leave Them All Behind 22:51 Chapter 2: The Giant Day 38:53 Chapter 3: Long Life 55:00 Sunset Patreon Ride PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/transparens TWITTER: https://twitter.com/transparencyboo TUMBLR: https://transparencyboo.tumblr.com/ MASTODON: https://mastodon.social/@transparencyboo #outrun #sega #megadrive #segagenesis #arcade #ferrisbuellersdayoff #outrun2 #videoessay #explained #ferrari #racinggames BONUS MEME! Racing games, huh? Have you ever noticed that people don't often make video essays about them? Despite being a pretty popular genre too. Like usual we wanted to make something unique, and just making something about a racing game clearly wasn't enough. So instead we made this strange art piece that combines several things about cars. What a wild ride. Kiki wrote it, however I still think Outrun 2 is a bit better than the original, it is at the very least the one I go back to over and over again. I tried to download it on our PS3 recently, but it was gone from my download list. Can you believe it? They deleted it from my downloads as if they owned the place. Rude. I paid good money for that game in 2009 or whenever it was released. And now it's just gone. This is why you can't trust digital games, people. We also showed off Cosmic Race in this video because it's a neat little game that no one really remembers except for weirdos who read about it in a video game magazine once. I played it once on an emulator and knew I had to own it so I instantly tracked a copy down. Ridge Racer, Gran Turismo and all these other PS1 racing games are also cool. Do you remember freaking Lego Racers? That title screen music though. Stuck in my head since I was but a wee barne. If you read this message leave a comment about your favourite racing game!
