The skins need to be half their current price. I think I'll need to be level 10 before I can afford one.
The on foot gameplay needs to have more focus, the melee is awful.
Wait, I presumed you could earn in-game credit through gameplay to unlock the rest. Is it actually behind a paywall?!I wouldn't mind paying for more of the story modes if there was any sense of a standard pricing structure. One is free, I get that so we can try it out. The second is not free. OK. The third to be released in 2 weeks is an even higher price. Why?
its not just the missing music: the whole game sounds like someone put cotton or wax in your ear. everything is muffled and subdued. i tried it with the pulse 3d headset and my soundsystem. both sound awful.
Is there any way to see with which characters you've won a game?
I have no idea how Carnado works. I dont understand how you earn points before banking them, I don't even understand the HUD.no :/ i just played one win in Carnado with each character in order to get the trophy. It´s the fastest, most fun gamemode and nets 15k xp per every game even if you suck :D
It at least looks as pretty as I'd expect from a full priced game but yeah, content is super barebones and asking the next gen premium price for it is absurdI can't believe a group of high ranking decision makers thought they could sell this for $70 up until a couple months ago. It is as bare bones in content and design as a student project and shallow as a puddle. I would love to see the pitch that got this greenlit, it had to have been 100x more ambitious than the end product.

Gridfall is cool but the camera angle...needs to be a bit vertical above the car for that mode.
time to get into a match is too long, should all be a bit faster.

Imagine Sweet Tooth with his Ice Cream Van as his hero vehicle. Yumm...
That said, how is there not music in the matches. It makes what appeared to be a energetic destruction derby sour quick when all you hear are cars. I get how that's intentional, and it's trying to emulate a real sports feel, but it saps the energy out of playing the game when the menu theme slaps.

That's what my friends and I figured, but we assumed there would be a streamer safe mode that replaced the deafening silence with licensed music, but alas.Blame streaming for it. People want to play their own music, and no one wants to get copyright strikes on a game created for streamers.
I noticed the deafening lack of music, so I ran spotify playlists in the background. Feels much "energetic" with your own music.
Solution should have been to have a stream mode that deactivates the music.Blame streaming for it. People want to play their own music, and no one wants to get copyright strikes on a game created for streamers.

Yep. I don't even know if they've invested in creating any other music for the game besides the menu theme...Solution should have been to have a stream mode that deactivates the music.

Yes! My nephew was playing yesterday and said they should add Sonic. Sonic would be a great addition, you can have his Allstars Racing vehicle, and give some spin dash or super sonic abilities as Breaker.Sweet Tooth seems like the lowest hanging fruit that´s easy to add :D I think they should also call Sega up and get some Sonic Allstars Racing Transformed characters in there.
I don't know, I think the core gameplay is mostly great, though I still wonder about staying power. It feels more like a party game than anything, but the lack of party play options will definitely ruin that. Unless I missed it I don't think there's any way of doing private matches with friends which is super dumb. Content wise if they hadn't neutered everything for their freemium currency I think the game would have been fine, but having what feels like the single player portion yanked out of the game so it could be monetized sure sucks. Especially because judging from the free one I played last night, it's sure as fuck not worth two or four dollars.
played some of this last night. Only played like 3 rounds, of 2 different modes. Presentation is pretty great, controls are good, and animation, vibration and trigger effects are all neat, but yeah kinda meh gameplay. Cant really tell who is winning, or how best to win, or what your goals are, etc. Its just drive around crashing into things basically, with no real indicator of how you are effecting things or not, doesn't feel very intense or anything.
I did all the tutorials as far as I am aware, but dont think it ever specified what my end goal is? Eliminate people? But I think I respanwed once, so what is the point of an elimination, what does it mean? Rack up points? Ok, whats the best way to do that, and where do I keep track of points? What do the points mean, dont think any of that was explained. It told me to grab those crystals, but why, are those points? or do those unlock my special car, or does that fill my special meter? I know I can figure it all out the more I play, and study the game UI more, but as a whole package the game modes just feel a bit stale, empty, and shallow. Like there isn't any build up to a climax, no race to anything, no close calls, etc that I felt. obviously again, i haven't played much, but doubt I will. Was hoping to play with a buddy and work together, but doesnt feel like this is a game to co op with someone, or can even help each other out.
Dont think the level up system was explained at all either, what do the levels mean, do I unlock anything, i didnt see anything if so, so why do levels matter? tutorials kinda went through a lot of the controls, but not much else. But I could have missed some stuff. Just my opinion, glad people are enjoying it. And hey it was free, so yeah.
The game is not rocket science :-)
crash for points, kill for points, evade for points. on foot you collect crystals to fill your special moves and activate barricades on the track which also gives points when cars crash into them. you can steal other peoples cars when evading and immediately pressing triangle, you have to do some quick time event after that.
when bar is filled for your character car, call car, jump in, activate your car special to shred other cars. on foot special is to run faster, jump higher and have some special move too.
thats the core gameplay
i think the game is really fun, needs to have some improvements here and there and the time till you are in a multiplayer match is a bit too long but it is entertaining for an hour or two.
yeah like I said, I did the tutorials, so I am familiar with the gameplay aspects , like evading and stealing cars, etc. Its just points, and how they work was never fully explained as far as I remember(there was a good deal of info so I likely missed some subtle stuff), and what the end goal is. Or what is best, or all the ways for earning points, and where you would even track points on the screen, and how all that works. Just saying the did a poor job of explaining that whole aspect, and no explanation of leveling and why that might be important or not? And obviously with more time I can understand that, but the game didnt grab me by that time. Just felt I was on my own, just crashing into things, and there was no dynamics, highs nor lows, or climax to the matches. To me didnt have staying power. Just my hot take is all. Glad you enjoy it.
Could maybe be fun for a quick match here and there trying out more characters. but cant see my self putting too much time into it.
One thing to note, only hero cars can go to 80 regular cars go to 50.If you're talking about Carnado, what I believe is happening is:
1 point for cashing in the car if you haven't done any damage.
5 points for first good hit.
15 points for another good hit/wreck streak.
30 points for next good hit/wreck streaks.
80 points for great hit/wreck streaks.
Cash in your car and you cash in the points for your team.
However, know that points are linked to the car, not the driver. If you abandon or wreck your car, points go to zero and can be stolen by enemy team if they take your car.
Thank you! Wasnt sure what triggers it. :)One thing to note, only hero cars can go to 80 regular cars go to 50.

Yea that's the one I was referring too, the boxes. It's kinda hard, lol. Didn't get to lupitas yet.If you're talking about the challenge series yeah the one where you have to break boxes is really hard to do the objective to finish with a surplus of time. Lupita's also has a gridfall challenge where you gotta annihilate an enemy and it's pretty much impossible to do cause the AI just suicides off the ledge before you can wreck them.
