Picked this up a week ago because I needed that arcade racing fix. So far I'm enjoying the mechanics, and that feel of pulling off the corner turning drift. I can't wait to see how it levels out down the road.
Just needs an audience? Dude there are other racings games that aren’t just kart racers (Mario kart, Sonic and sega all stars and crash team racing) like you said these are arcade style racers of the older days. It’s design philosophies are more closer to the outrun series, f zero (heck f zero gx was designed and produced by sega) and games like it that took inspiration from it like horizon chase turbo. Sure the drift is like crt but the maps and stuff feel more outrun 2. Id say it does have an audience, though I can’t imagine the audience being very big because the kart racer is more popular. But glad you liked it, it’s a fun time :p
@@apagan0075 I actually have seen some early vids and screenshots of the game and this take may be subjective, but, graphically, I think the final version improved a lot from the beta version.
No quick race mode, just championship and time trial, its baffling why racing games continue to be shipped without such a feature, we want to set up our own races with any car and track we like and race for fun, because that is what the genre is all about! Plus some of the cars look the same, not much variety. However, I still love the gameplay and graphics, they are fantastic and spot on, but i hope they fix the single player mode aspect because its lacking!
There is a mode to set up custom races, it's the VS mode in the main menu, it could admittedly be conveyed better. At least the main dev seems aware of that from what I can tell. 👍
Was looking forward to it for years, a great time now that it's out. Wish there was a couple more modes, i know they got some good material for a gallery of concept art etc lol
i played the demo, it was a really generous demo, loved the game, but felt it lacked a small thing that i can't put my finger on, still, it is wishlisted until i see a nice discount.
I'm starting to notice a slow increase of sexy fanart of the female characters in this game after it came out, especially on sites like Twitter/X, BlueSky, and Newgrounds. More NSFW sites have yet to get that kind of art of the females, though.
@retroman3960 i still play doom 2. Its not that i dont like sprites. Just feels janky with a fully 3d environment and that fact it only has a few frames of animation doesnt make it feel any better. The game is mid
Fun Fact: an early demo build has the option to replace menu or all sounds with the menu sound from Ergheiz.
Waifu rally let's go

Power Drift, the whole style is Power Drift. Even the SAGE demo referenced Sonic Drift, which was an attempt to port Power Drift to the Game Gear.
@ is that game good? Looking at gameplay, looks amazing but the gameplay might handle weird. Never played it
alpha version is so much better than final version.
How so?
@@retroman3960it looked a lot different , just that

Good review bro thanks, I keep forgetting this game exists

Yeah i agree with that

Great game, definitely was worth the price.

There's always room for updates. 😉

Nice, thinking of getting this next sale!
the lack of 3D cars is a big miss for me.
The cars look like ChoroQ cars/games.

*sigh*
Would, girl in the thumbnail.
You’re 14, don’t say “would”.
And I would Sally and the 2 trophy girls.
This looks fun, but the use of sprites for the cars kills interest stone dead for me
the definition of mid
its 2025! why are we racing 2 dimensional sprites? you think they would have added more cars with the time saved making sprites.
THE GAME IS MID!
So unless it has photorealistic graphics and ray tracing, it's mid? Lol found the child

Why is everyone so against the idea of a sprite-based indie game?

Outrunners is one of the best looking racing games out there.
