FAST Racing Neo is releasing tonight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiqRE2E-ChM
It's basically a lot of WipeOut with some F-Zero to it
Will you get it? It's only 15 bucks but a full game with online play as well as local splitscreen.
good job /v/
It looks cool enough to warrant $15. I'll buy it when I get home after I finish this semester in about a week
>>319521935
I'm actually surprised, would have expected it to be 29.99 or something
>dat review that give it a 70 because "you must only buy it if yo like fZero games"
the FUCK
>>319521231
Oh, I didnt know this game dropped today. I've been meaning to support it, looks really good.
>>319523342
It's a shame many people don't know about it. I mean you can't blame them, Nintendo could have done more for it. But in the end it's just an indie title I guess.
I was gonna get xenoblade but damn this is coming out already. I thought it was due for next year and im definitely getting it if it's $15.
>>319523792
Why not get both?
>>319522847
>This game in this genre is good if you like games in this genre
>I don't so here's a pity 70
I fucking hate those kind of reviews.
It's like those reviews that say "you'll like Xenoblade X if you're a fan of JRPGs"
NO FUCKING SHIT. WHAT MORE CAN YOU TELL ME?
Are we gonna have 8 man racing lobbies tonight?
Hell yea, I'd've probably even bought this at $60.
The title is pretty shit tier though.
>>319523930
the sad part is when they suddenly decide "it's flawed but it's part of the genre" to boost the score of their latest indie shit.
>>319524203
If you told me this was unreal 4 I would have believed you.
>>319521231
>Linking polygon
it's shit.
everybody pack up & go home
>>319521231
can a 840M laptop handle this? looks fun as fuck
>>319524452
>Tonight.
I wish.
Australia doesn't get it for another 2 days.
I am a bit worried because one of the reviews I read mentioned that online matches are locked into the lowest speed and you can't choose.
I can kind of understand (but not condone) having a random selection of levels to vote on and trimming down online options considering it's a fairly niche eShop only title and they don't want to segment a small online community but that just seems stupid.
Also, all of these reviews apparently thinking F-Zero is the only futuristic racer or that "Nintendo should have made this a real F-Zero game" is really bugging me.
>>319524452
>can a laptop run this
How can you control this with a keyboard
fuuuck
>>319524513
pc mustard race everybody
>>319524504
From what I understand the online lobby system is the same as in Mario Kart 8
Everyone gets to vote on a selection of courses
>>319524485
Wii U emulation is taking off like a rocket. Pretty cray.
>>319524452
It's aWii Uexclusive.
>>319521231
>can't wait to race dildos as the constantly pleasing sound of vouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~
>>319521231
Is it just me or is this mostly going straight on a wide ass track with the illusion of looking cool? I am a huge fan of anti-gravity racing and I'm not getting the sense that there's any racing in this.
>>319523856
several reasons to not get Xenoblade Chronicles X:
>haven't played Xenoblade Chronicles
>even if it's not connected, I would play Xenoblade Chronicles first to see if I actually like the type of gameplay it has
>If I get hooked on Fast Racing Neo I'm not gonna be playing Xeno until another day
>you're probably expecting me to mention censorship, but i dont care
>probably wont even touch it anyway when i buy it, i have bayo2 w101 pikmin 3 sonic lost world dkctf kirby and yoshi woolly world on backlog because smash every time i turn on the wii u
>>319524843
That is probably just you.
How is there "no racing" in it?
>>319524203
Should have named it FAST Racing DILDO
>Watch a gameXplain review of the game because I want to see some new Gameplay footage.
>Teenager with a retarded voice talking about how a big flaw is that the game is too difficult and you can't even take a single hit in higher difficulty or you'll never recover, that it's extremely frustrating to have to deal with the unfair difficulty to unlock the "normal" difficulty and only "1% of extremely skilled players will ever be lucky enough to unlock the fastest difficulty".
>While he's saying this, the footage of him playing the game shows him playing in the slowest difficulty while crashing into walls into walls every time there's a corner, missing shit-tonnes of boost orbs and failing to hit the boost pads most of the time.
If you can't play video games, you just get a job reviewing them. I've seen actual footage in a another video that actually backed up the criticism of some annoying AI rubberbanding but that was just plain being shit.
>>319521231
>releasing today
Neat. Will probably get sometime this week then.
>>319524946
It looks like the guy is just holding the accelerator down, going through rollercoaster ups and downs while catching some air time with an action camera to make it look exciting? I didn't feel any sense of racing at all.
I feel like I'm supposed to like this because it's the only glimmering hope of anti-gravity racing game out there at the moment. Otherwise frankly this looks like a tablet game to me, and not just graphically speaking.
>>319524920
>have bayo2 w101 pikmin 3 sonic lost world dkctf kirby and yoshi woolly world on backlog
Good lord, get a grip anon, you're making me worry
>>319525127
try watching past the first two courses
>>319524380
>good
>it's shit
>>319524843
From some of the gameplay videos some of the later tracks have more turns and hazards but it looks like there is a lot extremely turns and twists.
It looks like the levels are designed to accommodate maximum boosts all the way rather than minor boosts and extreme corners.
>tfw I played F-Zero GX for the first time a week before this games release and now I've spoiled myself on it.
I know it's not trying to be "the new F-Zero" and I'm still getting it but damn, it just cannot compete with GX.
>>319524920
Is it true that fundoshi were removed from the game?
>>319524452
Yeah, a laptop can handle any game a wii u could run
Look at the sonic games that were ported over recently
I could run that shit at like 8k on my desktop
Too bad its all locked down on a shitty console no one wants that will be dead in 5 years tops
>>319524976
>gameXplain
>retarded voice
That's literally everyone on gameXplain. Andre sounds like a gay guy with a 10 inch dick. The guy who just reviewed Xenoblade sounds really dorky and stutters around A LOT. He made Chuggaconroy sound normal, which is an achievement within itself. Then there's this other guy.
I watched that review and I don't think I've that heard that guy very often if at all though.
>>319525127
I get what you're saying but don't most racers look like that when played by someone who's complete shit at the game?
>>319525189
I'm watching Scorpio Circuit right now and it's basically the same thing. When it isn't a straight path, the bends are so wide it doesn't even change anything. I'll keep looking around.
>>319525127
>this looks like a tablet game to me,
thats what happens when you make your games about your shitty consoles shitty motion controls
>>319525445
I don't think the game was played badly by anyone. No one that I've watched hit anything. The track design that I've seen, two so far, are so utterly pointless.
>>319525402
>a laptop
A gaming laptop with a 760m or better, i mean, atleast thats what i have and it has no problems on ported wii u games
>>319524954
Lel
Reminder that most footage you see is on the slowest setting
Think of like 50cc
You can unlock higher speed settings later on by getting gud
>>319525662
Here's a comparison
youtube.com/watch?v=YzasnULJnhM
>>319521231
It looks so linear and plain.
How many tracks?
OFFICIAL "DOES YOUR DESIRE FOR A NEW FUTURISTIC RACER WITH LOTS OF FAST OUTWEIGH YOUR DISAPPROVAL OF THESE POINTS" LIST.
>Track design is based around going loose corners at maximum fast by chaining boosts and maintaining your boosts rather than tight corners testing handling skills to a high level. This leaves a lot of levels seeming very flat and plain.
>Online multiplayer is locked at the lower speeds rather than the highest and doesn't allow you to select your speed.
>Rubberbanding AI is extremely noticeable.
>Little difference between handling/attributes of vehicles.
>Occasional framerate dips in single player, much more frequent in multiplayer (which is locked down to 30fps when playing with more than two people but that's a different discussion).
>Relatively barebones in content. Grand Prix cups, Hero Mode, Multiplayer and that's it. (I'm including this because it's debatable point as to whether it's acceptable or not because it's an budget arcade style racer).
Anything else I'm missing?
>>319526154
16 tracks (plus mirrored versions of all tracks in Hero Mode but that doesn't really count.)
>>319526286
Most of those are excusable beacause $15
>>319526154
http://fast.shinen.com/neo/
16 of them.
>>319524452
Even a 840 million dollar laptop cant run a wii u game friend
this game isn't punished/funded by nintendo, correct?
it's not gonna be locked to the wii u forever?
>>319526661
>this game isn't punished/funded by nintendo, correct?
correct
>it's not gonna be locked to the wii u forever?
it most likely will be
>>319526398
Well that's just your opinion.And posting these points so other people on the fence can have some concise information to help make there mind is what I wanted to do.
I'm willing to excuse some of those points for the same reason but the online multiplayer being apparently locked at Subsonic is a big problem for me.
I'm buying it as well and I'll still play online if it's locked at Subsonic but I'll still be very disappointed if I have to stick to local or single player if I want a bigger challenge in speed.
I'm tempted to actually sign up to Twitter to ask the devs if Supersonic or Hypersonic are available online.
>>319526791
bit.trip series was wii u exclusive for a long time and eventually came to other consoles
>>319526819
wii exclusive* i mean
Fast Disapointment Neo.
F-zero set a standard that hasn't been matched. This looks worse than wipeout.
>>319526062
I'm not sure I've heard of a racetrack described as "linear" before.
>>319521231
Will buy it tomorrow. Usually I don't buy Indie games day one but shien deserves support because they are wizards.
Also, whoever makes comparisons with F-Zero is a huge idiot.
>Watch footage of this game
>Ramming into other players doesn't even damage them or anything, they just slightly bounce away
DROPPED
>>319521231
Watching this for the first time.
Why does it keep doing extremely bright white flashes every few seconds? That looks annoying as hell.
>>319526819
That doesn't really mean anything considering a different developer. It's about as relevant as saying "the Tomb Raider series got ported to other consoles so Sunset Overdrive could come to PC as well".
The devs for this game usually stick to Nintendo hardware as a budget third-party developer.
Although I'm pretty sure that Twinstick Shooter they did recently got ported to the PS4 so there is a very slim possibility it may get ported a couple of years down the line.
>>319527008
>whoever makes comparisons with F-Zero is a huge idiot.
Cause the game is a diapointment and you don't want to be reminded of something better you'll never get.
>>319524380
>No mini map
What.
Do they mean like a track map? Or literally a mini map, like in adventure games?
>>319527069
One of the game modes has the boost meter also function as a shield meteractually similar to F-Zero beyond just genre/setting conventions. I haven't seen anyone confirm or deny whether that will go for the opponents cars as well which is a bit worrying.
>>319527008
I actually have Iridion 2 on GBA and Nanostray on DS.
Shin'en is alright in my book.
If the online is only the slowest mode with no friend lobbies with completely customizable settings I ain't buyin
>>319527224
Track map.
>>319526286
>No track-map so you can see the other players relative positions.
>In local muliplayer, the Gamepad displays a split-screen of all players instead of just the person controlling the gamepad, making off-screen play pretty much impossible to see anything in.
Forgot those ones.
>>319527431
Racing with Friends is confirmed.
You're apparently shit out of luck with everything else though.
The devs seem very fucking based though. I will happily play 15 EUR for a 1080p60 fast paced indie titles.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XJxqrYllo4
>>319526286
>>Little difference between handling/attributes of vehicles.
Weird, when the devs have specifically stated they all handle very differently.
>Splitscreen is locked down to 30fps when playing with more than two people
Good to know, but I will probably just play with my gf.
>>319526350
>>319526417
Yeah that seems good
If the Multiplayer is good Imma get it
>>319524452
>handle
Yes.
>run
No.
Not yet, at least. Although I'm not sure if it'll be able to emulate WiiU AND handle this.
>>319527905
>Weird, when the devs have specifically stated they all handle very differently.
Dev's word vs a relatively common complaint in reviews.
We'll find out one way or another in the next couple of days.
I'm hoping the reviews are just wrong in this regard.
>>319527905
>1080p60
it's 720p
>>319527905
>Good to know, but I will probably just play with my gf.
Two people can also race online against other people from the same console.
Just saying.
>Tonight
What?
I thought it was releasing on the 10th.
>>319529312
It is.
OP is basically an autist and thinks "tonight" ends at midnight.
>game has 1-2 flaws
>it's a 7/10 or 85/100
>AAA title has 100 flaws
>GOTY 96/100
Fucking testers.
>>319525402
>Too bad its all locked down on a shitty console no one wants that will be dead in 5 years tops
So you mean like every console this gen? Please, do tell me more about how console generations work.
>>319525402
>Too bad its all locked down on a shitty console no one wants that will be dead in 5 years tops
The Wii U will be dead next year what are you talking about?
>>319529695
Are you an idiot?
The game will be available starting on the 10th at 00:00:01
That is in ~10 hours
Hell yeah mother fucker, I never played fzero but this looks fun af
i don't recall hearing anything about a midnight release. this shit will mosey unto the market at 3pm
>>319533960
>the 10th at 00:00:01
>tonight
>>319534324
>what are timezones
Pretty hype
To all the F Zero and Wipeout bros, let us set aside our differences and celebrate the release of a fast racing game.
>>319534465
I only want to know one thing: Can you change between speed settings for online lobbies as well?
I tweeted at Shin'En but no response yet
I think I'm generally done with racing games as a genre.
I find absolutely no motivation to start anything like that.
>>319534507
Online is apparently going to be locked at subsonic (slowest speed).
I wish it had the F-Zero mechanic, that when you boost or crash into walls you lose energy and eventually risk dying. For me, that always was the most interesting feature of the games and made for very intense races.
>>319534624
But do you have a reliable source for that?
>>319534654
it's called the hero mode
>>319534759
do you have a source for that? In the videos I've seen there is no such option. It would be amazing though.
>>319535314
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4eujD0JITQ
>>319534679
It's brought up in this review (http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/wiiu-eshop/fast_racing_neo) but I haven't seen it mentioned in other reviews.
Considering it's not something you can really imagine or misconstrue so easily (especially if you have to play the game for more than five minutes online), the fact it's mentioned at all should be cause for concern.
>Nevertheless Shin'en has made some choices in the implementation of the online mode that left us a bit puzzled. Upon choosing to play online you'll be prompted to choose between a match amongst friends or one open to the general public. From there you'll select a vehicle and drop into the lobby area.
>You'll be presented with three randomly selected tracks to choose from. Each of your opponents, up to seven of them, will receive a different set of tracks; after everyone has voted for a track one will be randomly selected, similar to how Mario Kart 8 operates. There's no option to select which league (speed class) you'll participate in, nor is there any indication made by the game to clue players in to what speeds to expect; the online races we took part in felt like Subsonic League races, the game's slowest. Winning races awards points to your profile, so it'll be interesting to see whether greater numbers online, with increasingly high rankings, will prompt faster speed classes in online races. As it stands the online system is extremely simple, apparently designed to ensure quick match-ups for potentially limited numbers of players; this is an eShop-only game, after all.
Enough of a reliable red flag to ask for confirmation from the devs.
>>319535508
Well, I reckon it is something they could fix with a patch
Why the fuck isn't this on PS4
>>319535373
>That speed
FUCK!
>>319535732
Hopefully.
Unless it's unlocked later on at a certain rank, it's a very disappointing (and baffling considering it's being marketed based on it's speed and the tracks are apparently designed around playing in Hypersonic) design choice.
>>319535373
the lighting and motion blur make it really hard to see the tracks
>>319535373
That looks cool, but will hero mode be available for the multiplayer races? If not, that would be really disappointing.
>>319536271Maybe.
>>319535883
Because PS4 already has Wipeout
>>319535883
Because it's a good game.
>>319535508
Let's face it, in a world where you are lucky to get 40 ping it would be foolish to expect online highest speed settings without complaining about constant rubber banding and resynchs.
>The game supports Wiimote, Wiimote+Nunchuck, Gamepad, Wii Classic Controller, Wii Classic Controller Pro, Gamepad and Wii U Pro Controller.
That's good news. I didn't want to have to shell out for any more controllers for four player split-screen.
>>319536737
Its the best feature Nintendo has been offering this gen and I really hope that they will continue doing that.
I am SO sick of buying new peripherals for every single system.
One of the main reasons why I dont want a PS4. Faggots are blocking my PS3 arcade sticks so they expect me to pay 400$ for PS4 brand ones.
>>319536712
I had a feeling that might be the reason it's left out but when these tracks look like they're designed around the faster speed settings, it's going to be a step back heading online after local multiplayer/single player.
>Time Trial is just trying to beat your own times/ghosts and the dev teams times/ghosts.
>No global/online leaderboards at all.
They gave Art of Balance a global leaderboard and that was just a simple puzzle game which didn't really need one. Why not a racing game with a dedicated Time Trial mode? Even if ghost data would be unfeasible, even a basic time-keeping leaderboard would be simple.
>>319524203
the title is the best part. how more upfront can you get?
>>319538970
The first game's title was more upfront.
>FAST Racing League
>You compete in a racing league and go fast.
>FAST Racing Neo
>You don't play as Keanue Reeves entering races against people and using Matrix hacks to win.
>>319536453
Ps3 had it.
[Spoiler]I'd buy it again on ps4 if given the opportunity
has there been any updates to 90s arcade racer?
>>319524976
While listening to that review, I couldn't help but think back to how much I struggled, suffered and cursed when trying to complete F-Zero GX back when I was 12. But goddamnit, I kept going and cleared every cup in Master Class and every Story Mode mission on Very Hard, it felt awesome. If this game is comparable in terms of how rewarding it can be in its unforgivingness, fuck babby-tier reviewers.
>Wii U exclusive
for what purpose
>>319541087
Because autists and children are good for wringing money out of.
>brutal, soul crushing difficulty
uh- I don't know if I can put myself through the "F-Zero GX experience" again
>>319544618
Nah, that guy's casual as fuck.
>Out this Thursday
>£11/$15
>500mb
>Silky smooth 60fps
>16 tracks
>Modes include Online and "F-Zero style" Hero Mode
>>319541087
Because Shin'en and Nintendo have an extremely strong relationship
>>319544853
Then why isn't this an F-Zero game?
>>319545043
Because it's extremely rare for Nintendo to let a 3rd party use their IPs
>>319545043
Because Shinen have said time and time again they don't want to work on other companies properties or be owned by anyone
>>319521231
It actually looks decent. But it's developed by an indie team so it can't actually be decent.
I won't fall for it.
>>319521231
I'll wait for the PC release.
>>319545202
Apparently Nintendo asked Criterion to make a Wii U F-Zero game, but it never happened.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-23-nintendo-asked-burnout-dev-to-make-wii-u-f-zero
>>319545430
>I only buy games from EA, bethesda and ubisoft, because I don't like being disapointed by games!
>>319545876
Nintendo really is the black sheep of the industry. The NX is pretty much their last console huh.
>>319545949
Don't be a retard
You could at least read the fucking article.
>>319521231
Literally looks like Audiosurf, which is a joke gimmick game
Do people actually want to play this?
>>319546125
>>319546167
Do you honestly think Nintendo can make it back with the NX after a long time downward trend?
The casuals are all gone, so what now? You think there are enough Nintendo core left?
>>319545949
>>319546125
It's not implausible, considering the downward trend in their consoles over the years and the fact that they're aiming to print 12-20 million NX units by next holiday. If its sales hover around Wii U levels I think Nintendo will take enough of a hit to seriously consider leaving the console market.
>>319546323
>>319546430
hehe xD
>>319546474
>>319546323
>>319546430
Nigger are you serious?
They're profiting, have been for several years now (even bigger profits with amiibo gimmicks), and the NX is a fucking combination of their handheld and home console lines. The NX will sell at least 50 million solely due to that fact. They have 0 competition in the handheld market now that Sony has said they're done with handhelds.
>>319546430
I don't see why this is a problem, then they can just focus on being developers.
>>319521231
>82
Who fucking cares
It's probably shit
>make FAST Racing Neo
>make online only the slowest mode, with no way to change it
LMAO, dropped as fuck.
>le nintendo is dying! meme
I've been laughing since the 90s. I don't understand how people wth alzheimer's can live so long
>>319546684
Faster modes simply wouldn't work online due to latency and massive rubberbanding.
>>319546591
>They have 0 competition in the handheld market
Nintendo's share in the handheld market has been falling too. Vita was never the threat, smartphones are. Casuals don't need a dedicated gaming device.
>>319546856
Fuck off shill, you ruined the potential of your FAST game.
>>319546894
And yet, the 3DS still sold shit tons of units.
I don't think you understand. Nintendo will continue to develop hardware as long as it's profitable to them, and it still is.
In the words I can only speculate you've likely used against others
Never
Ever
>>319543493
autism is the worst thing humanity has ever made
>>319547020
I haven't. What's important is how much LESS the 3DS sold than the DS, downward trends are not a sign that things are fine in business. If something is failing you need to try something else. Kimishima is going all in with the NX, and if it fails, they'll probably rethink their whole strategy and if they want to go 3rd party or into a different avenue of tech (if not something else entirely). Nintendo won't go bankrupt, but they may change what the company does, it wouldn't be the first time.
>>319547537
No, that's not what's important.
What's important is that hardware is profitable for them. As long as it is, they'll continue to do that.
i dont like how the camera shakes after every landing. Is there no chance to make a smooth landing like in GX?
>>319541016
Yeah, the guy posted one not long ago to backers. I think his part is finished they are just testing/porting.
its too hard
reoccuring threads belong on /vg/ faggots
take it there
>>319547537
Are you retarded?
The DS and Wii sold like fresh water in some dried out african village. They were a HUGE success for Nintendo, just because they didn't repeat that shit doesn't mean they're going to back off from business. They're still making profit and will very likely continue making profit, if the NX won't be a huge success like the Wii/DS was they will still continue it. The N64 and GCN weren't big successes too and they're still making their own consoles and handhelds. Just look at the history before you assume some really bizarre fantasy.
