After two years of development, a new classic 3/4 overhead perspective racer has been revealed by developer I-Friqiya. (Trailer and screenshots included)
As much as we love to read stories (and write them!) about indie success, as it means that the developer is living out the creative dream, there are many more examples of failed investments than there are of runaway successes.
Here's one story about a developer that only managed to sell 600 copies worldwide of a PSN game.
As we sit on the precipice of Grand Theft Auto V’s midnight release, with millions of sales sure to accompany it, Skander Djerbi of I-Friqiya has some sad news about Fuel Overdose, which was released in December 2012 in Europe and March 2013 in North America. - PSLS
Wow, I never would have thought this was possible. Hopefully they get it up on other platforms to increase sales.
How could a game that critics said "isn’t satisfying in the least" end up also not being interesting enough for people to buy? It's like the game isn't satisfying or something :O
(Also the price should be lower.)
Skander Djerbi from the Fuel Overdose team has announced that Fuel Overdose will be 1.99€ instead of 11.99€. This limited time offer will last until September 18th and is only for the PlayStation®Store.
... first of all, I LOVE top-down racers.
That said, I HATE it when they implement weapons in it. I rather want the games to just focus on cool racing and drifting around corners, instead of getting a rocket up my ass...
But even disregarding the weapons, it really doesn't impress graphically. Not only does the fantastic Motorstorm RC look endlessly better, but so does Reckless Racing 2 for iPad and Android!
I'm really happy the old classic genres are getting back in favour by more developers these days, but there's no excuse for games to look like they were made for the PSX/Saturn.
You guys do realize this is a downloadble title right? It looks about the same as motorstorm RC. I like it.
This actually looks really fun to me.
