Everybody knows about Ridge Racer V , but that wasn't the only racing game Namco delivered on day one for the PlayStation 2. No stranger to racing on two wheels as well as four, Namco also introduced the first of four MotoGP games that established a high bar of quality, inspired by the world's premier motorcycle racing championship and taking full advantage of Sony's next-gen hardware. In this…
The fine people at the Hamster Corporation have been preserving and celebrating some of the greatest arcade games the world has ever known for a number of years now through their Arcade Archives collection. This episode, Adam, Andrew, Paul, and special guest Jayson Lamp run through their favorites involving cars and bikes, from the earliest selections to the latest additions to the catalog, like…
Time Extend Revo continues its exploration of decades' worth of Formula 1 video games, starting with the Nintendo 64 and taking it through the Xbox 360 and PS3 era. By the end, it's pretty clear that the boys have a couple favorites—and of course, that the honorable mention will forever go to F1 Race Stars. Songs ordered by appearance: "Main Menu" from Formula One 2001 , "Track Select" from Grand…
For as long as there have been racing games, there have basically been Formula 1 games. This episode, Adam, Andrew, and Paul explore about 20 years of digital representations of the pinnacle of motorsport, from the early days of Pole Position to the sport's first forays into polygons. We don't cover literally every game, but we talk about an awful lot of them. Join us later for Part 2, where we…
Two years after a surprise debut at The Game Awards, Milestone's anime-inspired reenvisioning of Screamer is here, and the boys each feel some different type of way about it. A narrative-heavy arcade racer oozing ambition with a cohesive art style and unique gameplay, it's the kind of game we at Time Extend always love to support, even if its story is at times nonsensical, and even if it carries a…
Somehow, Genki's Multi Racing Championship has wound up on Time Extend's Mount Rushmore of racing games, and the boys try to once and for all unpack whether or not it's actually a good game. What follows is a random discussion of N64 racers via the Analogue 3D before multiple gaming-related topics that have nothing at all to do with virtually driving cars. We weren't planning for this to be the…
If the hosts of Time Extend Revo could design their own racing games, what would they dream up? This is precisely the question asked and answered in this latest special from the mind of Brendan Rorrison, as the boys pitch projects in a round-robin format, drawing upon games of all genres to sell their ideas. From cross-country rallies to good old-fashioned touring car racing and cars that grind,…
From Automobili Lamborghini to Volvo: Drive for Life, there's a long history of racing games based entirely around a single automaker's products—and in some cases, individual cars. Yeah, plenty of them are forgettable, and some are cynical, bargain-bin cash grabs attempting to lure unsuspecting customers to pay to be advertised to, but there have been a few surprising gems over the years. We run…
Our first episode back from our 2025 hiatus explores Nintendo's classic arcade racing series all about boosting and big air. What else could you really say links 1984's Excitebike with its N64 sequel, Excite Truck, and especially Excite Bots on the Wii? In any case, they all certainly bring the excitement, and we'll proudly throw this one on the pile of forgotten racing franchises that Nintendo…
We're now some weeks removed from Tokyo Xtreme Racer's successful Steam Early Access launch, but we couldn't just move on without chatting about the game, so that's what this episode is all about. Andrew, Paul, and Adam caught up on what they loved (pretty much everything), what they'd want to see addressed as development continues (really just menu navigation), and the simple joy of revisiting…
