This whole game was made by 5 guys is mind boggling to me. The fact that some gameplay feature like ramming into vehicle could be coded over lunch also sounds wild. Thanks for making this video, this brings back a lot of good memories!

In True-crime new york there a easter-egg There was a blackboard that had V8 3?? written on it, maybe Luxoflux was thinking of a delivery for PS2, a pity that Activision closed Luxoflux in 2008 because the developer was not profitable again.

For some reason the 1st V8 game feels more alive. It must be the levels. The 2nd V8 game feels kinda dead. My favorite however is V8 2nd Offense, more so the Dreamcast version for the obvious better graphics and it contains the levels of both V8 1 & V8 2. Upscaling V8 on Dreamcast to 4K on Redream is a dream lol would be amazing to have this series come back with its original creators. I absolutely love this series. Thank you, creators. I am proud to have bought the N64, PS1, Dreamcast and even Gameboy Color V8 game. Recently I bought the V8 for the Xbox360, just to have it since they're about to shut down their stores.

WAIT WAIT WAIT. Scan is BLUE on the ps2?! Scan in my game is in fact a red-orange lazer. When it hits it has the same blue screen-flash that Huston has, but the actual lazer is not blue! I know this for a fact, I played Y yesterday. It’s really interesting the hear and see the massive differences between the N64 and PS1/2 release. For N64 V82 Chassey’s whammy is cut majorly short to what sounds like “freakit” is almost sounds like she’s trying to cuss but it’s censored. If you haven’t heard V81’s soundtrack on N64 you’re missing out! The OG theme hits harder than any song I’ve ever heard; the ps2 remaster is blasphemous!! My recent fun is exploiting the game as much as possible, so I’ve been using Boogie at the Airplane Graveyard on survival mode. I started playing it when I was 2/3, so I don’t know the actual names of the weapons, but the heat-seeking missiles that give you a speed boost with up, up, up, Z are necessary. You want to stockpile those for unlimited speed boosts, you want your disco ball for safety when not at machspeed, and exclusively down, down, up, Z - mortars for long-range huge damage. Once you have all of that, you go into the center pit or one of the two hidden side pits to activate the bomber plane to follow you. Now you just drive endless laps around airport nuking your enemies with a literal plane while orange mortar shells rain from the sky. You cannot stop moving or the plane will surpass you and leave. If you constantly speed boost it never catches up and you can endlessly bomb your frenemies!

Ramming in the first game is beyond better than the second. I beat convoy’s quest with 75% ramming, 25% steel belter. You can take out cars in as little as 3-4 rams. In the second game when I go at car at top speed I just gently clip through them. No one taking damage. Convoy went from unstoppable to literally stationary. Have you ever fought convoy in Pennsylvania and he WASNT permastuck in the water?

you will hear a lot of people say tm was better and v8 is a bad knock off or just a knock off at best but i think its not at all a knock off because it so very clearly differentiates itself enough to be its own thing plus a knock off isnt a game that just so happens to be of the same genre. that and the fact that if you go to any emulation sight v8 2nd offense is always above any tm game so clearly it deserves more than to be labelled a tm clone.
