i was not paid to say this i was orgasming the whole time i was playing the game, only thing to make it better is making the loading screen continue even when it finishes loading and adding a "press any button to continue" because the B roll and the music is just so chill and ethereal, it is a great way to meditate and let all sink in and just take a breather between all the action and thrill. I know having it automatically continue may be the way lots of people who didn't pay any mind to it, so maybe make it a feature that can be toggled on or off in the settings. Idk even if this doesn't happen i am still excited to see what the full game will have to offer I am having a blast with it as it is, ❤ thank you to who ever thought of all this and everyone that had anything to do with make this dream a reality, it is a dream come true, i love everything about this game💜
Quite literally, the TXR games and genki have pretty much been dead for nearly 2 decades and nothing has really came close to those games, so this is kind of a miracle
I love how the trailer isn't some over delivered bullshit just to sell the game. Instead, it's plain gameplay which says way more about the game than any action movie like cutscene we get to see for the mainstream games and studios.
Better than I could imagine, honored because I'm here before the relase. Currently building cars in NFS Heat but this game looks way better imo. It just has that early 2000's era and I'm in love.
the chilla's Art/Analog horror aesthetic applied to a (presumably) non-horror racing game is the most unique thing i've seen in a while. I think I'm in love.
I know a lot of people really want to call this a Tokyo Xtreme Racer revival, but I personally don't feel it as a long-time player of the series. That's not a bad thing though, I'm happy to say that I can confidently identify Night Runners as Night Runners, so I look forward to the release, Jem.
Agreed. This game seems more based in reality. TXR felt more like an rpg with fantasy elements to me. You also don’t search for rivals cruising the expressways and flash your high beams. You meet in PA and setup drag races. It would be nice in Nightrunners to flash on rivals and have a rolling start to the races.
@@pallav8725 not sure, but TXR series had an rpg like progression with the story. Some of the bosses intros felt very epic as well and they even had strange visual effects coming from their vehicles as they raced. Also the fact certain wanderers would only come out under certain circumstances felt a bit like an rpg also.
@@pallav8725 I mean that's literally Racing Lagoon. with all the flavor of a jrpg in tact. If you are curious its a PS1 game that just got a translation patch. Overall great game.
HEY GUYS, quick PSA If you want this game to exist, remember, *you must give money to it* Lots of games get hyped but not funded. Let's make it happen gang, go hit the kickstarter!! This isn't normal profit motive. This is ONE man! Not a studio that can invest and get paid later. If he can't afford to eat, he can't make our game. Let's take care of him.
I downloaded the prologue on steam on a whim couple days... Oh god it's the best racing game expirience I've had in a long time and single handedly revived my hope for racing games, And learning it's from one dude alone on kickstarter money is wild, Shout out to you Jem and I'll deffinently be there when this game drops.
Just want to say I have been HOOKED on the prologue and cannot wait for the full game whenever it comes. Love what yall have done and take as long as you need to get the full product done!
I’m so glad I found this game. The vibes are so good and there’s a ton of potential. Can’t wait to see how this project progresses over time, as of right now, it’s definitely headed in the right direction! Thank you Planet Jem ❤
the craziest thing is in my mind this is how i remember midnight club being like but i went back to play and its not even close amazing work this is art
I'm so proud of everyone who made it this far. We're on the home stretch, gentlemen. Hold tight. Quick shout & blessings to the brothers who ain't make it this far. Next week, we race for y'all! 🙏🏼✝️🏁
I tried the game. Love the loading screens. The VHS videos really make it stand out from the current racing games and warms my heart The best part. Is how this game makes your eyes water from driving at high speed.
Unironically one of the only racing games I've been excited for in a long time. I really appreciate the lack of bs or exaggerated animation with "*note, not actual gameplay footage" in the bottom corner, it's just a genuine display of gameplay which feels like something we rarely get in this industry now. Really looking forward to the release and future updates that may come with it, this game looks phenomenal

PS2 era advertisement vibes
This was the comment that made me realize what was happening in my mind
@@Eutski Feels like the old 5 Gum ads to me as well
fuck it, someone port this game to PS2
i was not paid to say this

best era honestly
20 hours in the demo proves that this game is really fun to play. Can't wait for the full game.
*A single dude quite literally revived the tokyo xtreme racer series at heart.*
This game will be so legendary
Finally.
Quite literally, the TXR games and genki have pretty much been dead for nearly 2 decades and nothing has really came close to those games, so this is kind of a miracle
@@renblur i played the closed Patreon beta.
MAN. *I.LOVED.IT.*
I'd say Highway Warriors 2 is closer to Shutokou Battle in terms of presentation and gameplay (cel shading aside).
Man took the "Fine, I'll do it myself" quite literally
Since the big studios don't make good arcade racers anymore, we'll make them ourselves.
This isn't entirely true when people actively shit on good/creative racing games and continue to suck up sim racers dry.
@@oxideX97 Please, elaborate.
@@oxideX97 What new racing game is good/creative made by a big studio? Sim racers are stuck in assetto corsa and iracing
Damn right. 🤟🏻
@@dueleus Wreckfest, Dirt Rally 2.0, and more
Edit: removed a game because i remembered that it isn't AAA
I love how the trailer isn't some over delivered bullshit just to sell the game. Instead, it's plain gameplay which says way more about the game than any action movie like cutscene we get to see for the mainstream games and studios.
No unnecessary hype
thats when you know the game is good, or at worse, honest.
Its not even like it sacrificed on quality.
Trailer is orgasm material for me
Tokyo Xtreme Racer is back in spirit
This is better in every way
@@StaxNoir night runners is not a tokyo xtreme racer but better. Those games about different things
@@RidgeRicer and different gameplay design
This does not play like Shutokou Battle in the slightest.
Paid actor
This depressingly made me realize how rare a trailer with mostly gameplay is now.
Finally a game a lot better than most AAA games nowadays.
2000s games are a lot better than most if not all AAA nowadays games. Not a strong competition tbh
especially better than most AAAA games as well.
@@finfrog3237 hell naw bro💀
Consider my tent pitched bro
Ladies and gentlemen, I shit myself.
I shat myself today to see if I still feel...
Gottem!
@@painmorepain5986 to see if you still fill real. lol
@@painmorepain5986 ASFASJKKJASFLASFSFAFAS
Genuinely so excited for this game, it's basically everything I wanted in a racing game
Dude is single handingly carrying the entire racing genre
Literally
Better than I could imagine, honored because I'm here before the relase. Currently building cars in NFS Heat but this game looks way better imo. It just has that early 2000's era and I'm in love.
Now THIS is how you make trailers. Short, interesting, engaging, and shows ACTUAL GAMEPLAY.
the chilla's Art/Analog horror aesthetic applied to a (presumably) non-horror racing game is the most unique thing i've seen in a while. I think I'm in love.
I can’t believe that after so many years of development, this project, which is likely to become a cult one, will finally be released
I know a lot of people really want to call this a Tokyo Xtreme Racer revival, but I personally don't feel it as a long-time player of the series.
That's not a bad thing though, I'm happy to say that I can confidently identify Night Runners as Night Runners, so I look forward to the release, Jem.

@@Cepheid-IDM I'm now curious as to how an actual fantasy rpg racing game would look like now lmao.

Well it sure isn't exactly a TXR revival, but TXR is coming back.
Motherfucker gave me analog horror vibes at the beginning then just V I B E S
On some Mandela type beat
The true Next-Gen(ki) experience.
So happy to see this project finally come to life.
FREAKING FINALLY
Just got done playing TXR Zero, and I am extremely excited for this! Hope an AE86 gets added at some point, it would be the return of Rolling Guy!
It would be cool to add a team "No loser" from TXR3. Team of camouflage cars Mitsubishi lancer evolution
@@zx8930Makes me wonder if this game will have its own version of ???, or Unknown
@@zx8930 Favourite team? No loser. The logo is just too perfect.
The voice in the intro sounds like a Killer 7 character
Anyways, so glad we are finally getting a unique racing game after a while
Or the arcangel from Mandela catalogue
its the same voice that Umurangi Generation uses for its menu, wish i knew what it was
YES! This is what racing games need! I thought that back when playing Import Tuner Challenge on the 360 and I've thought it since! We need this!
we got nightrunners before gta 6 😭😻🤯
Mind blowing 🤯🤯
prologue tho
That was a horrible comparison and every dork that likes your comment is a noob. 🤦🏻♂️
The Tokyo extreme racer series was so therapeutic driving racing cruising making cars. This looks magnificent. Amazing works.
YESSS FINALLY, I WAS SOOO HYPED FOR THIS🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
so proud of the hard work jem
As a certified pirate, this is the only game i would pay for when it’s full
HEY GUYS, quick PSA
If you want this game to exist, remember, *you must give money to it*
Lots of games get hyped but not funded. Let's make it happen gang, go hit the kickstarter!!
This isn't normal profit motive. This is ONE man! Not a studio that can invest and get paid later. If he can't afford to eat, he can't make our game. Let's take care of him.
So soon oh hell yeah

That voice from this trailer you can find in fasthub, calling "whisper" in voicetypes.
Adrenaline inducing masterpiece, I can see it get addictive real quick.
love it and cannot wait for the full release. this could lead to becoming a full scale game developer if its the success it is anticipated to be
I've been watching the progress for years. Beyond impressed with the development process, it looks so great
Time to pump in another 250 hours 🔥
So stoked, been following this project for quite a while now. It's come so far :') Can't wait to try it out!!!

Unironically one of the only racing games I've been excited for in a long time.

From all the underground fans thank you
Game looks sick can't wait
The retro vibe this game gives off is phenomenal.
If this has the chance to go console, I'll binge it to the core.
I just found this game and I am hooked I can’t wait!
bro restored all the aesthetics and personality of a forgotten art, bravo.
I don't remember the last time I felt so happy about a game trailer.
goosebumps
Im really excited! Love the art style and overall vibe! Can't wait to play it :D
I have goosebumps by just watching this
Looks great!
been waiting 4 years for this🔥
releasing precisely on my bday.... this was worth the wait for sure 😮😮
Dude, if you hadn't done it, I was going to dedicate years to doing it myself when I had the money to. From all of us, THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤
This is beautiful but I'm mortified of the implications of me getting intense nostalgia from games based on those from my childhood when I'm only 20
All I gotta say. From an underground steet race lover. This game got me hyped alil
Don't stop you 🤙
This is talent
Can't wait for the full game🔥
Gotta book the calendar now😂😂
