What's up with the turning?

[Halcian]

Is the turning suppossed to be that exaggerated? I'm playing with a gamepad and it's like you barely put pressure on the stick to turn and you go veering off so sharply. I can't really keep control of the car at all.

I used to have this game on Dreamcast and don't remember it being like this.

Same problem here.

Me too I used to play this on my friend from university's Dreamcast and it wasn't like this.

Back before they integrated controller support, I used to use xpadder (I believe) and had no issues with the game's controls. After they added controller support, now the game is borderline unplayable because of the turning issues that you've mentioned. I have yet to find a fix to this issue.

For now, the unofficial fix works for me.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to try this out once I get back around to playing this again.

Could be a different issue, but to me it seemed everything was running too fast. I tried a few different resolutions and that sorted it for me.

This is just the way it is. I had the original on Dreamcast.

You will get used to the handling. I've played it for years (and still do) and I can weave between tiny gaps between cars.

But if you really get into how this game works, it becomes such crazy fun. Such a well made, long lasting game imo. It hasn't really aged because it's supposed to be a crazy arcade game.

This isn't how the game is supposed to play, it's another ♥♥♥♥♥♥ PC port from your good old friends at SEGA. As soon as the menus you can tell the analog stick has absolutely no dead zone, push it half a milimeter in one direction and it moves. The turning itself is caused by lack of actual analog, the analog stick in the vanilla game performs the same way as if you were holding a direction on the D-pad, or slamming the stick all the way to the side for every single minute turn.

This is completely wrong. This particular PC port lacks analog steering on all analog inputs (stick or wheel). No other port lack analog steering (Xbox 360, PS3, the old Acclaim PC port, Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, etc). There is an unofficial replacement EXE provided by a forum user here who modified the binary to add the analog controls for the steering.
Look up "Crazy Taxi Analog Controller Unofficial Fix v1.02" for the post by the author of the fix.
