Hotshot racing, Sumo Digital next masterpiece! (out now, day one on Game Pass for Console)
- Thread starter invincible2020
- Start date
Looks like the drifting style is mostly inspired by OutRun.
Nobody ever tries Ridge Racer-style drifting. :/
I tried it on my Xbox One X several hours. Game looks good but the gameplay using the chase cam is very weird to me ....there is some bad laggy connection between the camera moves and the car moves .... its hard to explain ... definetly not as good old Model 2/3 arcade games in term of gameplay.
A perfect chase cam ( like old sega racing of forza ) is not easy to get.

nope but 3 weeks ago it was available on Xbox preview programs for a few days.
Actually, the guy who is trying it, says the handling model is like RR7 more than anything else (comment section of the same video)
Huh that's interesting. I guess I can't say without playing it.
Could you imagine M2 doing a Sega Ages SCUD? Getting a little moist just thinking about it.
Every time this gets bumped I'm hoping the full release is coming. I've been playing this for a while, it's so much fun.
This looks pretty cool. This is like as far as I'm willing to go with racing games lol, just drift heavy and a nice, cheery aesthetic.
Yeah I think Yakuza Studio could spare a team of 10 members to make some arcade racing game. Nagoshi should direct 😅

There is a play test going on for Insiders until the 10th.
It looks like a suped up Virtua Racing, handles like Daytona(mostly), and has a boost mechanic that's built from drifting and drafting like Burnout.
Sound/music design feels like it stepped right out of the 90's. Each Racer has 4 types of cars (Speed, Drifting, Acceleration, Balanced) and all sorts of items you can customize on it through money earned from placing in races. So far there are 4 locales with 4 tracks each and a lot of Arcade Racing staples. A slot machine, dinosaurs, volcano, carnival etc.
Really having a great time playing it, nobody seems to be playing online but it has an 8 person lobby.
Will 100% pick it up on launch.

We need SEGA to decide to takeover and publish this.
It's literally just a lost new SEGA Arcade Racer in the vein of Virtua Racing mixed with Virtua Fighter and a little bit of Daytona USA co-developed by one of their main third-party Development partners.
JUST DO IT SEGA.
They made an amazing new concept for a potential new SEGA Arcade racer franchise right here!

I played three cups and a little bit of time trial and man, this is the real deal. The handling feels really good, easily the best one of these throwback racers has felt since Outrun 2. My only real issue is the AI sometimes feels a little too aggressive, even on Normal. I haven't played a single race without someone bumping into my rear. Other than that, just extremely fun to play.
Im getting the payed version on day 1. No question.

Sure thing. I actually have to stop myself from playing more of it so as not to spoil the full release. The demo seems to be pretty much fully featured. It has all 16 tracks that will be in the final game, a shop for car and driver customization, outro cutscenes for each driver, the whole shebang.

Played this shortly after seeing the Aug. 8 post about the Insider deal. Wanted to post earlier but never got around to it but my experience sounds very similar to so1337's.
I was actually okay with the AI aggression ("rubbing is racing") but yes, it does seem a bit more extreme in that regard in contrast to similar racing games.
I think I just played two cups and a time trial but looking forward to full version (plays/looks ready to go now).
I don't necessarily have a huge problem with the AI being aggressive but I was surprised to see the "norrmal" difficulty proving this much of a challenge. To put it in Mario Kart terms, it's like they started out with 150CC as the baseline. I think some people might be put off by that.
Yoooooo, this is my first time even hearing of this game and goddamn does it look like the real deal. I miss arcade racers so much, especially those with SEGA-style visuals, and this looks like it might go a long way toward scratching that itch. Except...
...for this part. Yeah, the inclusion of cops is a real downer. At least the game doesn't seem to glorify them, though?

That's a good comparison.
I must've overlooked the mode with cops during the insider demo.
