Big Rigs is literally the only video game in existence I can think of that has the same "B movie" qualia about it. It's so bad, it's actually funny to play because of just how insanely bad and broken it is. I mean, what other game can you accelerate to literal infinity and beyond by simply driving backwards?
If they actually remastered it and made it a good game, it would actually suck more than the unique experience the terrible original offers.
Watch GDQ, turns out quite a lot of games!
Super Mario 64 /s
I don't think I agree. I feel like the game is so short and incomplete that you can see everything it has to offer by playing it for 10 minutes - or watching a YT gameplay.
The game has one map, no collisions, no AI. I think I remember it having different playable "rigs" but they are mechanically the same, so there's no point.
At least with a game like Oblivion you could play it for 20 years and still find new ones. Big Rigs doesn't have near the same "energy".
Fun fact, Ace Combat 5 has a similar "going at ludicrous speed" bug (We have to go faster, We have to go even faster), but it also has an entire (actually good) playable game attached to it.
