Is it coming to Gamepass or no cause that the only way i would ever touch this game looks bad.

 

[dan76]

I think it looks ok, but it's releasing 3 days after Hotshot Racing... so no. Lack of online multiplayer kills it as well.

 

[Soltype]

That title is killing me, it's so close to Initial D

 

[jshackles]

My joycons already have inertial drift

 

[JTCx]

Initial D was my shit, where the eurobeat at?!

 

[jigglet]

I just saw this in Steam and bought it on a whim.

And...amazing. Wow. Best racing game I've played in years. The controls are so tight.

My only complaint is the game is exclusively set at night. I can see this getting old fast. I want some brighter daytime tracks.

Given how disappointing Hotshot Racing was I might have to pick this up. Anyone know what the online is like? I watched a review and it said something about only ever racing one car. That's can't be right can it?

Yeah it was pretty fucking shit.

 

[sublimit]

A poor man's Initial D. I want my Eurobeat fix.

 

[Kataploom]

Saying that "Inertial Drift" is coming to my Switch Lite panics me a little

What? This supposed to have been arcade style good shit. What happened?

Not sure, it was simply bad from control standpoint, not enjoyable.

I see. Dang.

 

[dan76]

I see. Dang.

It's like playing bumper cars. Get a nudge from the AI and you are flipped backwards. The drifting is dull, kind of like Burnout but not as good, the cars have steering lock sometimes. All the tracks look the same and have the same rough layout, all pretty short.

It's fast and can be fun but its held back by some weird choices. I'd say it's not Arcady enough.

I see, that's a shame.
