It's a gaming sensation?

For me, one issue that makes racing sims more challenging than their real life counterparts is the lack of g-forces and feedback through the steering wheel. Instead of using the information that your hands and body are feeling to judge the grip envelope of the tires, you have to make an estimation purely visually/aurally. This is bearable in games with racecars, thanks to the size of the wheelbase, giving a slow the rotation of the car and time to react to the onscreen visuals, but a kart game? I'm not so sure. Due to a kart's wheelbase, it tends to snap very quickly, something your hands will feel and correct way way before there's any graphical indication of your mistake displayed on screen.
So, I'm wondering if Blimey will fiddle with some of the kart physics so as to make the game more accessible/user friendly.
Anyway, I'm all for a realistic kart game, has their been one before? I can't think of any (apart from user created content of PC sims), although I think Sega had a semi-sim arcade game at one time.

I smiled.stunning next generation graphics surpassing those found in many AAA titles

So did I. I also expected really cartoony graphics, but I was gladly disappointed. This is also the first I've heard of this game. Looks very very nice.Oldschoolgamer said:They said "Kart AttacK", and I came in expecting missiles and whatnot.
Looks good so far...

However
This game needs a weapons system. That is the best part of games like CTR and Mario Kart. I couldn't imagine playing either game just driving around with no weapons at all. It's ashame we can have 8 million WWI First person shooter clones, but no one wants to emulate the things that made a game like Mario Kart sell millions of copies.
Devs have tried to copy Mario Kart. The problem is that people don't want to play a second rate clone, and no one has worked out how to make something better. Judging by the MK wannabes I've played, they haven't even worked out why MK is so good in the first place.Shamrock said:It's ashame we can have 8 million WWI First person shooter clones, but no one wants to emulate the things that made a game like Mario Kart sell millions of copies.
No. If there's one thing we don't need more of, it's dumb-shit racers with weapons.Shamrock said:This game needs a weapons system. That is the best part of games like CTR and Mario Kart.
