My Zelda got delayed until Monday so I thought about buying this from the estore, however I didn't see how much memory it takes up? I have snipperclippers also and will need to be able to download the botw patch. This game won't hog the entire hard drive will it?

Edit: Nevermind. No it will not..

I think it's around 900mb.

Thanks. Was worried about nothing.

 

[IsntChrisL]

I downloaded this last night. I'm looking forward to playing it tonight when I get home.

 

[Oregano]

Changing the cups to be three tracks is a lot more portable friendly.//

 

[TheMoon]

Thanks. Was worried about nothing.

864.03 MB to be exact.

Nintendo's EU and Japanese pages always have file sizes for games listed at the bottom in the features/specs table.

Does anyone know if there's any splitscreen online like Mario Kart, or is it lacking the feature like Fast Racing Neo?

Doesn't seem to be in, no.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

Is this game worth it if I'm not a massive racing game fan but I'm just looking for something to play other than BotW and also something that lets me experience HD rumble? It's either this or snipper clips.

 

[Oregano]

The online is general is a super simplistic implementation.

 

[Howard Ballou]

Yoooo this game is dope. I always seem to get a racer as my second game on Nintendo consoles, so this filled that important niche for me.

 

[Skyzard]

It's Unreal Engine 4, should be fine.

Switch trailer looked good and is 60fps to boot.

Let's hope... it is REALLY demanding on PC.

Weird, it didn't look like it. Maybe a lack of AA or one the filters. Will have to go check again.

That could be due to dynamic resolution? instead of dropping frames, the resolution will scale back when it gets too demanding for 1080p

I honestly think it might be doing some temporal reprojection or something. It DEFINITELY never looks native 1080p, even when standing still. Sometimes it looks really rough. I doing there's any AA either.

 

[Stopdoor]

So, is it "Fast RMX", "FAST RMX", or "FAST rmx"? I've seen it typed either way all over the place and the logo is actually the last one, a reverse of the common first one, haha.

This made me not buy it. Need a demo now.

I wonder if they're waiting for something to add more to if.

 

[Glass Joe]

Some thoughts after about 5 hours of play:

Easier than the Wii U version by a lot. Or at least the first difficulty is a lot more tolerable! 3 tracks per cup also lends to a quicker play session which is good. Crashes don't screw you over this time. Actually (and this is bad) one time I crashed and ended up spawning in a better position. Much less frustrating to start out which means I'll probably play it more.

I didn't have the Wii U DLC so I'm unsure which tracks are brand new. The new-to-me ones are pretty interesting though.

Online is fun but too basic. I don't think you can add and race friends. I liked the online stats from the Wii U version where it would show you a rank for your time in championship mode. Sucks that they took that out.

Also, no time trial mode? Why?

The game looks good at high speeds but there are some jaggies I could do without. Not sure what the AA situation is in this game.

 

[Zarovitch]

The control in this version seems much better.
I'll play more with this one.

Get Snipperclips. No HD rumble but this is not for you unless you're into hard ass balls high speed racing.

The series is called FAST.

It's FAST RMX on the official sites. http://fast.shinen.com/rmx/

->

Ah, I was wondering what they were talking about it. I wonder why it was removed. Personally, I don't care about Time Trial modes, but I can understand why some love them.

it's in the review:

Warum gibt es in Fast RMX keine Zeitrennen, obwohl sie in Fast Racing Neo vorhanden sind?

Wir haben bei Shin'en nachgefragt. Die Antwort: Sie haben es nicht in die zum Verkaufsstart erhältliche Version geschafft.

Mehr konnten uns die Entwickler auch auf Nachfrage nicht mitteilen - ihre Formulierung weckt allerdings die Hoffnung, dass Zeitrennen später noch hinzukommen.

Translation:
Why is there no time trial when it was in FRN?

We asked Shin'en. The response: it didn't make it in time for release.

They couldn't tell us anything beyond that. However, their wording makes us hope time trials will be added in later.

 

[Octopus_prime]

Just bought it and have to say it's amazing gonna play some local multiplayer later, but it's freaking fast!!! And that's just on Novice lol 😂

 

[Certinty]

This game is amazing.

Expected way more visually though. But as a game I'm loving it. Currently addicted to online matches.

Well, it would look native 1080p while standing still with temporal reprojection.

 

[VanWinkle]

Well, it would look native 1080p while standing still with temporal reprojection.

Yeah, that's true. Hmm...I don't know. Maybe it's rendering at 960x1080 and just not reprojecting.

 

[dogen]

Yeah, that's true. Hmm...I don't know. Maybe it's rendering at 960x1080 and just not reprojecting.

It could just be sub 1080p a lot of the time. Or maybe you have the chromatic splitting on.

 

[hawk2025]

Is there a campaign?

Some reasonable progression of any kind?

 

[Indelible]

This game is great, the shifting mechanic really adds depth to the gameplay.

 

[HandsomeCharles]

You unlock tracks and vehicles as you complete the different cups. Fairly standard racing game stuff.

 

[BitStyle]

Day 2 and I'm still loving every bit of this game. Sleeper hit of the launch for me.

 

[SporeCrawler]

game looks gorgeous on the screen

 

[marc^o^]

Same here. It's more than a good launch game. It's a good racer plain and simple.

 

[VanWinkle]

I'm starting to like the game a bit more. Still though, my least favorite thing by far is the phase switching. It just isn't fun. I'd rather it just be about the racing and boosting.

True but Shin'en says it's 1080p, and if it doesn't even look 1080p while standing still, I'd have to imagine it's some kind of "1080pr" type of thing.

 

[marc^o^]

my least favorite thing by far is the phase switching. It just isn't fun. I'd rather it just be about the racing and boosting.

I thought it was uncessary at first but it grew on me. It adds a technical gameplay element, it's rewarding and I like that now.

 

[thebisonxrc]

This game is awesome. What a fantastic launch title for the Switch eShop. It moves so nicely and looks great. I like the sound, too. I always wanted to pick it up for Wii U, but just never got around to it, so I'm pretty happy to finally get the chance with RMX.

 

[Dipship31]

Yeah the phase switching is one of the best parts IMO. Rewards learning the stages

 

[JosephManderley]

This "feels" a little like Star Wars Pod Racer to me. (And that is a good thing!)

 

[CrayToes]

So is it possible to play with friends at all?

 

[giancarlo123x]

Queue at the same time and cross your fingers?

 

[PyroPaperPlanes]

Fantastic pickup and play title. With each cup consisting of three tracks, it's great for a 15 minute session. Alternatively, Hero mode consists of a single race, which is perfect when you have a few minutes to kill. Great showpiece for the Switch.

 

[Zero83]

Great game.

The handling seems less floaty than on the WiiU. I'm hitting the walls way less in this version. And I was able to stay on track all through Sunahara Desert, which I rarely could before. Might possibly be the vehicle that I'm using. It wasn't in the original. I'm also struggling less with collecting the orbs. So far, I haven't seen any instances of rubber-banding, but it may still exist.

Can't believe it was made by like 6 people. Amazing

 

[Spiritreaver]

I'm really bad at this game, but I don't play many fast racers like this. Somehow I still seem to do pretty well in the first mode though.

Also thank you Shin'en for letting us turn off chromic aberration. The "blurry" graphics were distracting me and I noticed it was CA. Turned it off and the game overall looks a lot cleaner.

 

[Xcell Miguel]

I did some videos for Gamersyde : http://www.gamersyde.com/news_our_switch_videos_of_fast_rmx-18858_en.html

If you want better quality, you'd better download the videos, even our streams can't maintain a high quality with such speed ^^

 

[Compsiox]

I bought it. I'll post my opinion within the next few days.

Was wondering about that setting as people here hate that.
Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Compsiox]

Based on my 4 multiplayer matches, I'm not sure this is worth 25 dollars.

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

It is 20 bucks .


This game is absolutely worth it. Should have been physical and received more press. I have been paying this for the last 2 days, and I have not touched Zelda yet.

Woops I said the amount I paid for the eshop codes lol. I'll give it more time. Zelda is a lot of fun. Try it.

 

[Soph]

I really like the Hero mode.. having your boost take your health away adds a lot to the tension of the races

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

I am pissed , I bought this game yesterday and now I can't see it on my digital library on the switch eShop account. What if I have to redownload later ? What the hell?

 

[VegaShinra]

Do games show for anyone? When I check my account on the eShop for 'Redownload Software' none of the stuff I downloaded shows. I figure it was like that because it is on the system memory.

I deleted Shovel Knight just to test it (small download for a fast test), after deleting the game it shows up in the redownload section of the eshop. So it looks like games already downloaded onto the Switch won't show up.
