It's kind of disappointing that they're trying to directly emulate games like daytona 2 and scud race rather than their spirit. I know that's the whole point of this project but I'd prefer it if they tried to make a game with an identity of it's own instead of pandering so strongly to my love of these games, because honestly it doesn't look nearly as much fun. It's too slow, the drifting looks too simplistic and controlled, and the courses aren't interesting beyond the nostalgic background elements. Visually it takes the 'blue skies' thing to an obnoxious extreme where everything is garish and hyper-saturated and the music is simply uninspired.
I'd be lying if I said this didn't tickle my nostalgia bone, but when I can play Daytona 2 and Scud race on my PC already thanks to emulation, this will be a hard sell.
