Damn. Looks really good.

 

[Shaanyboi]

I know it probably has aged HORRIBLY, but I really loved that game.

Game on N64 was amazing.

 

[Linkinito]

This is the money you are looking for

Spoiler

Oh wait, EA has the Star Wars license

 

[harmonize]

now that is podracing

 

[Peru]

I'll buy it. Easy.

 

[rnaud]

Probably a student project right? No way this will ever be even playable?

Yeah it really has. I remember it looked really good to many other games out at the time

The count down noise hit me with major nostalgia

 

[Respawn]

for anyone who dreams of the original Pod Racers game getting an HD remake or getting a sequel, these screenshots are great.

report me to the Hutts if old.

One of the best racers I've ever played. Loved this back then on my TNT card.

 

[LQX]

Pod Racer was one the first PC games I got. The graphics amazed me but my system was not powerful enough to do it justice. Would love to play it again.

 

[Neff]

Sega's arcade game absolutely nailed it already.

But yeah, very impressive.

I remember playing this on my cousin's PC years ago and having an absolute blast. Probably my only good memory of the new trilogy.

 

[jamsy]

The arcade game was so much fun. I spent quite a few bucks at the New York, New York casino in Vegas playing that thing.

Also, loved the PS2 game Revenge. Would be amazing to get a contemporary pod racer game but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Its just a pretty scene set up in UE4. Doesn't look playable.

edit: yep, on the polygon thread he states that its just a diorama

Hey Guys in my spare time while not working I have been making a couple of environment projects. I figured I start a thread for one of them as it is getting to a good place where I can showcase it. As a load of Artists at work are making Star Wars Environments at the moment I thought I would jump on the train and start making Sebulba's Podracer,the plan is also to make a diorama desert environment to pose it in.

 

[Terbinator]

Please.

 

[soul creator]

lol, everyone forgets podracing on Kinect Star Wars

 

[Syf]

Man that would be awesome. I'd buy, especially if it supported 3D Vision.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I would day 1 that

 

[Dictator93]

ugh, what is wrong with its face?

 

[ChainsawFilms]

Not when EA see it and shut it down.

I don't understand projects like this. If they are planning on making it into a playable game, why not take the idea they like (Pod Racers arcade game) and just theme it differently / remove the visual similarities to Star Wars.

The ships could control the same, just look different, maybe an FZero vibe.

Chuck it up on Kickstarter with the promise of 60fps.

Edit - read it's not a game, just an art project. A shame

 

[The Flash]

Do want

[BruiserBear]

I would totally buy a good pod racing game on next gen consoles.

 

[Edwards_Omatic]

Those beauty shots of the Pod racers up close are rendered in Marmoset Toolbag, not UE4.
Marmoset is probably the nicest rendering engine going, meaning the final in-game podracers won't look that nice - I'm sure they'll still look great though.

That said, I need this. My childhood consisted of playing Ep1 Podracer in the shop Currys as my mum looked at washing machines and shit. If this becomes a full UE4 game, sign me the hell up.

 

[jacksepticeye]

I WANT IT!!

 

[Blinck]

Man I wish there was a new podracing game like the one for PS2 * . *

That star wars kinect racing or whatever does LOOK decent visually.

 

[Shiina]

I've been waiting for this for years

 

[LDAF]

Directly into my veins, NOW!

 

[Revson]

Amazing.

 

[Mashin Haters]

it probably will look better than the movie when finished lol

 

[j0hnnix]

Ahhhhh its Jake Lloyd. The destroyer of Episode 1.

 

[Ally1987]

GIMMI GIMMI GIMMI!

 

[blackMamba1187]

I want this so much. Recently bought an N64 to play this game again...amongst others.

 

[Cjdamon042]

I would LOVE a new Pod Racing game, or at least something like it. I played so much of the original on the N64.

 

[Arc]

lol, everyone forgets podracing on Kinect Star Wars

That looks painful to play. And horrible.

 

[Lunzio]

YES PLEASE

 

[Vidpixel]

I'm liking everything going on in the OP.

 

[The Inventor]

Star Wars Racer was an incredible game, thanks for posting this, looks great.

 

[Orayn]

Absolutely gorgeous, makes me sad that it's just an art project and not the start of a remake.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Ahhhhh its Jake Lloyd. The destroyer of Episode 1.

You make it sound like it was a totally passable movie otherwise

 

[i-Lo]

Absolutely gorgeous, makes me sad that it's just an art project and not the start of a remake.

Imagine if someone did the same for KoTOR games.

 

[A.D. Skinner]

I am looking for any excuse for a new game, but I'd love it [the excuse] to be from VII. So new racers, mix of tracks, and it would just look and sound amazing.

Come on! Maybe this is that rumoured exclusive?! Hah...

 

[everyday math]

In my veins. I loved this game.

 

[akaoni]

It's a new lap record!

 

[Stimpack]

I hated that game. I'm genuinely surprised to see love for it. It looks great, though.

 

[Hale-XF11]

This + Oculus Rift would be glorious.

 

[injurai]

podracing is the best thing to come out of Ep1
