Cosmic Race beta - Early playstation dev footage from 1994

This is footage from 1994 of a very early build for the playstation game called "Cosmic Race"

Bemoaned as one of the worst games commercially released with a rating of 0.0 in most reviews (out of 10)

The very early games for playstation have a very super famicom feel to them, which is not so strange considering playstation started off as a CD-ROM add on for that system.

I have yet to see what early psone dev hardware looked like, I have read it was a very large rack type system.

Feel the pain.

Wait. Why did the prototype version look like it was running better than the final? Neorex, you're supposed to release the final build, not the prototype. Game development: YOU DID IT WRONG.

I wonder if this was more stable than the final version :P

They have debug information in the corner with Y used for vertical elevation instead of Z.

Here, it looks slightly better, as the graphics are improved a bit, and the action is much faster.

Why the final release had all possible potential for success completely drained out of it, haven't a fucking clue.

where is the road?

You mean there were actually multiple builds for this POS?!

I think this was passed off as the final product.

It may sound odd, but having played the non Beta version, I have to think it actually looked better BEFORE it was completed.

Check my video response to see what I mean.

This could probably pass for something on Glorious Trainwrecks.

I know. It looks like they were trying to make a racing game, but then the engine glitched out of control and they decided to make a game out of that.
