First The 90's Arcade Racer gameplay

The first gameplay almost two years after the Kickstarter was funded. Apparently the game's art, design and audio is pretty much done, but they had to scrap a lot of code last September. Also it's being published by Nicalis so that probably also adds to how long it'll be until it's actually released.
 
Terrible quality vid, but the art style is awesome. However, the "turning on a popsicle stick" driving is kind of a turnoff. I'm guessing that was a throwback design decision...?
 
Oh hai Virtua Racing.

I hope this makes it to Wii U still. Is Nicalis only putting their name on it on Wii U or are they actually porting it?
 
Absolutely gorgeous, easily one of the best Unity games I've seen in terms of both art and technology. They really nailed the Dreamcast/Naomi look.
 
It became obvious that this game wouldn't be out before 2017 when Nicalis picked it up.

Looks awesome, though. Really looking forward to it.

They used the holo-shark from BTTF2!

Also, that Virtua Racing big-forest knockoff is great
 
If this is coming to Wii U or PS4 I will definitely buy.

Question: it's not just drifting around tracks, right? There's also full racing against other cars?
 
Yes. This is awesome.

I love, LOVE the fact that they're using what looks like Outrun 2 style drifting. What I don't like is the missing feeling of speed. Things like Daytona and Scud Race felt significantly faster than this does. The art style could also use some tweaking. The colors feel muted in some of the tracks in the video and the faux scanlines are actually done rather poorly.

In all, though, this will be a purchase. :)
 
Man, I'm stoked for this. I don't care about the video quality, that looks brilliant in the ways it should. It's weird having "period pieces" for videogames, but it makes perfect sense.

Edit: I would pay a HIGH AMOUNT OF DOLLARS for a "Saturn" version DLC that lowed the draw distance, quality and framerate.

The final game will have racing against others, yeah. They had to scrap the AI they had for some reason and had to get a new programmer, so the AI they have now might not be good enough to be shown off yet.
 
It's looking pretty good. A shame these indie games take so long to make though. I think this game was announced around 2 years ago.
 
There's something about the artstyle of this game I really like.
The tracks look busy but clean enough to enjoy what's around you.
 
oh wow I thought this was pretty much dead, trailer looks great actually, very daytona and some virtua racing thrown in

would kickstart a 90s rally racer when they're done with this
 
I haven't been into racers (that aren't Mario Kart) since the Dreamcast days, yet somehow this and Drift Stage are two of my most anticipated games now.
