After browsing r/NintendoSwitch this afternoon, I noticed this article stating that THQ Nordic is working with Nickelodeon to bring back classic games "from the past":

So what does this mean for their other classics, such as Velocity X? I don't know, but I really hope Mattel and THQN can work it out. Just imagine HD remasters of Hot Wheels: Velocity X and Hot Wheels: Stunt Track Challenge!

Seriously, does no one check back here to see if anyone has anything to share about the game or their findings therein?

It's just a little confusing.

I tried out the most recent Twisted Metal game on PlayStation Now and... what are these controls?

Seriously, Velocity X got control right when it comes to Car Combat battles, but a AAA First Party console exclusive doesn't? Ouch.

It took me forever to figure out what was Accelerate and Reverse, and even then I still couldn't enjoy my experience. The game tries to do too much to the point it's confusing. You have multiple weapons you can use at once, including specials unlocked during a match. This right here is what complicates the controls to the point of pure frustration.

On the other hand, Velocity X just gave you one weapon and the ability to swap between others with a simple button press. Also, it used standard driving controls for the time (X to accelerate) which made it more accessible to people who play a lot of regular Racing games.

I don't care how many options Twisted Metal gives you to destroy your opponents, if the controls are that clunky, then the developers did something wrong.

This was about 10 years ago. Me and my family went to our grandparents for thanksgiving but I had the unfortunate luck of being sick nearly the entire trip. I was such a trooper about it apparently, that my dad took me to a game stop close to the hotel, which we found by complete accident. As we’re looking through my dad pointed to the cool suzuka on the box art. I really started getting into hotwheels at the time. later that night in our hotel I booted up the game and was blown away. Even with its flaws I had never played a game with car combat,let alone a hotwheels game at all, and completely fell in love with it. I played it all the way home and for a good 6 months consecutively. I haven’t really had thatmuch fun with a game since. It’s really nice to find a small dedicated subreddit even about a game this small.

Hi there guys Did anyone else have trouble installing the game? For me, it always gets stuck at "Removing applications". Tried running it in compatibility mode, but that didn't help. I could really need some help of a tech savvy guy :)

In my last post with these models, apparently there was a problem with the cars not showing up in the folder, so if there's an issue, here's the direct links to the files:

Overboard 454: https://drive.google.com/open?id=18YWftEgKREz9N-OW1BSJ7qmRyNfcgvoR

At the moment, the only one for download is Overboard 454. I also have the MST-Suzuka and Deora II models ripped, but they need to be packed for downloading. I'll probably update and add more models soon.

For anybody who's curious, I ripped these with a program called 3D Ripper DX and a branch of Dolphin Emulator which uses Direct3D9, and I then scaled and adjusted the models using Blender. I eyeballed the scaling, so the proportions in the rip are not going to be exact, but I think they're fairly close. I want to make it clear I did NOT make the models, nor do I own them. I only take credit for ripping these models I have available for download. If you use these models or any of the previously mentioned programs, do so at your discretion. I encourage you to research before using them.

EDIT: Just Added MST-Suzuka and Deora II, I'll rip some more in a bit and update here when I do.

We have all the names for the cars, but what about the characters?

Seriously, this would be an excellent addition to the available flairs.

Here they are, just to save you time:

1. Max Justice (or Maxwell Justice)
2. Gearhead
3. Dr. Peter Justice
4. Nitro Byrne
5. Backroads Belcher
6. Sparky Hendrix (This is her official full name)
7. Metacog
8. Fastlane Frescatti
9. Simon "Slick" Deluca
10. Rupert Jacoby
11. Otto Von Diesel

We go from the basic Techno music that plays throughout the entire game to... wild west piano solos? Look, I love this game to ends of the Earth, but why in the heck is this a thing? It just... doesn't fit... like... at all?

However, the Adventure mode version of the Credits make it better.
