I think this looks fantastic and I'm not particularly big into racing games that aren't Mario Kart.
Speaking of Shin'en, where is Fast Racing Neo?
This looks pretty good, it's just a shame that it seems to have had such a difficult development period.
Does anyone know, is this built in Unity?
I wonder why the car doesn't receive shadows.
Hopefully they can fix that, as I love seeing cars feel grounded to the environment with reflections and shadows.

Eh, the game was funded. I'm one of the backers.
The lack of communication from the developer has been inexcusable. The game is two years late and we go four, five, or six months between updates.
I don't think it will ever come out, personally.
Agree. One of the worst managed kickstarters ever :/
BTW, could someone PM me the update as I pledged with Paypal and can't see it? Thx.
first thing I thought haha
I bet the development team collectively sighed when the pack 2 DLC was detailed

Looks awesome, awesome. Needs the announcer saying "Checkpoint!" every time you pass one and some AI cars.
Fingers crossed this gets released on PS4, but I'll certainly buy it on Wii U as well.

Exactly. For a game supposed to launch in 2015. A lot of the backers complained about the lack of updates and general feedback from the developer and producers. Even now there is no answer from them on the kickstarter page, other than this update.
Don't get me wrong, the massive delay blows, but we still have known it's not dead.
It seemed like that before this update, due to the lack of any feedback. Now it seems to be alive, as I wrote in the title. Let's see until the end.

Any comments about FFB Wheel support in PC version. I imagine that's not hard to implement, even Nebula Model 2 supports it in some form

Looks better than Mario Kart 8. I need another arcade racer since they don't even exist anymore. Haven't had one in years.
In what way?
Actually...

Just noticed the guy lives here in Athens (Greece). He is the same dude that released the Sonic Fan Remix some years ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHKD14XfOe8). I should track him down

I didn't know about this game but it looks great! I'll definitely get this when it releases. Thanks for sharing OP.
I hope they add more crazy cars like that boat one.

I think the shape is good but it's way too big, from the video it feels really slow to drive around and there's nothing there to make it challenging, the scale should be shrunk a bit.
Well, yeah, that was the very initial target and then it was postponed to 2014 and then to 2015. Now even 2015 is not so probable.

I remember reading the blog last year before e3, them saying wont be shown and around the same time they were doing some freelancing.. amazing 12months on and nothing but a video
edit: looks like 2 different builds in the video, 1 video he drops to 70km/h when he drifts everytime and other track is it seems bugged (drops from 170 to 100km/h for a split few frames)

I was just trying to dig up any kind of release info for this game a few weeks ago. I was hoping that maybe it came out already to no fanfare and that I could just download it already.
Been anticipating this one for a while now - really hope it makes it out given how perfect it looks for scratching that old Sega arcade itch.

It's bound to look empty without a lot of other cars to jostle with - like walking through a shooting game without the enemies. That needs to be sorted out before it'll finally look like an actual arcade racing game.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Atleast we know its alive.

Ah, probably someone from Nicalis then.
lmao, get Katoki Hajime's lawyer on the line
Seriously, is this Sega published or something? I can't find anything on it. I thought it was just going to be Sega inspired.

I really hope this game makes it out. We could do with a good arcade racer. I don't like sims.

Do you realize the game genre this game is emulating?
Visually it looks great, but I have issues with how he is performing all these crazy sharp turns without downshifting gears. Seems like you can just go in gear 5 and "drift" and be fine. Definitely not like how Daytona does it with downshifting to get into a drift and upshifting to catch yourself at the end of the turn.

Yes, and it doesn't feel like one of those, others in the thread have voiced concerns too. With such simple tacks, along with them feeling huge and empty and a lack of speed being shown in the trailers I'm not too hyped on it, yet. Probably just a byproduct of being pretty early.

It's been in development since 2012

The game looks nice, but a few things worry me. You may notice that in none of the videos the car crashes to a corner, and there are no other cars on the track.
This suggest me that the game has a long long way to go before it's finished.
And yes, tracks do seem simplistic, let's hope that with the addition of more cars, this changes somehow.
