Exactly. For those saying 'well big devs delay games', its not the same at all. A) Money hasnt already been laid down and B) big publishers have accountability. Its been 18 months since announcement, if not earlier.
These kickstarters just shrugging and saying 'meh we ran into difficulty' and then not updating their page for another six months is bloody stupid when backers put money down in good faith. A bunch of children playing business.

This, just get the game out in a playable state.

Sure, it was more in response to those wondering why things may get delayed or not completed, as it's a much smaller budget, which doesn't help when the last update on the AI was to 'scrap the work done so far and start from scratch with a new programmer'. It's apparently more than the one person on the team. The Distance team has three and was likewise a labor of love, so not too dissimilar to compare with.
I wish them the best of luck though, a nostalgia-inducing Sega-like racer would be super fun.
fixed.

Mid 2014 release date goal? Isn't it 2015 right now
No it's 2025 and you've been asleep for many years.
Check the dates of the original posts.

Great
I'm still hyped for this game, only because the genre is simply forgotten by other devs. If anyone else had come up with something similar I would have probably forgotten this in a second.
How long this have been, at least 3 years? Some people will say it's Nicalis fault, but I actually wonder where this project would be without a publisher to lend a hand...
I'm still waiting for it, hopefully we can get it this year. All the best to the devs, concept is still awesome.
Edit: actually KS went up on January 18th, 2013.

Question is why? No Burnout, no Ridge Racer, no Wipeout, not even clones - did those games sell so badly last gen that the whole genre died?
The video is on YouTube. I wish I'd backed it so I could see an update!

Never even heard of this before and that looks pretty nice. Sweet presentation.
Is this a project name or the actual final name?

I like what I am seeing, not quite sure about the micro machines type course though. Also I thought I noticed some hitches in frame rate here or there and not sure if it was truly 60 fps, but it didn't seem like it. I will get this game when it hits Steam though. More types of these racers need to come out as I am just not into realism/ race sims.

I hope drifting has some challenge to it, the worry of pushing too hard and spinning out in daytona usa is important.
