It's going to be carnage, also really happy they have the F355 in there as well.

The new kickstarter video also has a neat little easter egg at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESM4JkOXSis In other news, I finally beat the expert ghost: 1:19.952  The hardest part was definitely the 4th turn (~40 seconds in) where you straight up cannot go full speed around it. You have to let off the gas the perfect amount or else you will hit the outer wall or turn way too slow.

Let's be honest, unless the guys who have $500 to burn on an awesome game have taste you just know it's going to be. Unless it was a goon and we are going to get  over everything then I'm ok with that.Anyway, I went for the $25 tier because OH GOD I NEED THAT SOUNDTRACK!

Current soundtrack is really good, but now that they've brought up Eurobeat, I can't shake the feeling I'd really like an all-Eurobeat soundtrack too.

Do it like NFS III did and let the player choose between cheesy synthpop and cheesy rock.

Anyone else have issues mapping usb joypad analog sticks on the Mac version. Was looking forward to playing this without using the keyboard and have been scuppered so far

Without knowing the name of your joypad, I'd say try googling around about the Unity 3D game launcher.

Okay cool, thanks I'll give it a try. Just remembered I have bootcamp and Win7 on this thing so I might just boot into that and see if it works better.

Gonna get this just for the soundtrack. 80s instrumental rock has such a big spot in my heart.

Hopefully the models and textures aren't too heavily encrypted so we can screw around with modding. The biggest reason this game is awesome is that Namco has basically taken a dump on the Ridge Racer franchise after RR7. Now if only we can get a wipeout remake  Fargin Icehole posted:the only way you could possibly play this game is with the ridge racer soundtrack Ridge Racers 2 (PSP), Ridge Racer 7, and Ridge Racer R4's soundtracks seem to go best with Drift Stage. puberty worked me over fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Jan 12, 2015 |

Here's hoping it stays small and any extra money just goes towards bug fixes, mod support and maybe future games.

I'd like to see a mobile version of this game. Probably not console, just because I doubt that the Xbone/PS4 would handle the pure 80s-ness of this game!

Tried the alpha - the driving is ok, it's obviously an early version, but the graphics don't really do anything for me, they're kind of ugly and feel like trying too hard to be all retro. Maybe this'll improve too though, I'll be definitely keeping an eye on this game.

Maybe this'll improve too though, I'll be definitely keeping an eye on this game. This is about how I feel. Graphically it's strange because it's going for mid-80s style with early-90s tech (obviously not literally but that's what it's trying to capture) and the combination doesn't really do justice to either. Aesthetically the thing it makes me think of the most are old Pocket PC racers. It's still in alpha so I'm going to keep watching it, but I like the approach of 90s Arcade Racer much more so far.

That sounds like their intent: quote:We’re not even going to think about stretch goals until after our current goal is met, and even after that, we may still not do any stretch goals. We have a pretty clear vision for Drift Stage, and we don’t want to drastically alter our vision or the project’s scope just to accommodate stretch goals. It seems like they have a pretty narrow focus that they don't intend to deviate from, which is encouraging.

To be fair, they have a bunch of stuff like car and track editors and random track generation already planned which is fine because I think stretch goals are dumb as gently caress.

Yeah, I'd settle for "if things work out, we might make more stuff for the game, tootles!" rather than a definite promise they don't actually know if they can pull off in the future.
