GB:
Sometimes gaming genres die. Sometimes, developers and players all hop off a trend together and a certain kind of game that was once ubiquitous fizzles out. It looks like that’s what happened to fast sci-fi racing games — or it would have if it weren’t for the Germans.
The Fast series is somewhat of a spiritual successor to F-Zero, a Nintendo franchise that has been long forgotten by Nintendo itself. If Nintendo won't develop any more games in the series, at least Shin'en is trying...but have their efforts ended up being worth it? Let's dig in.
This video comparison of Fast Racing Neo/Fast RMX shows just how much faster the Nintendo Switch is than the Wii U.
The fact that this is even news is actually quite scary.
Smh.
This is a big deal to them
Ooooooh shit I cant beleive it!!! Much faster than last gen console while it still hold same 10 years old graphics? Wii U pro
Since it is digital only it shows that switch is just faster overall. The game is not 10 years old graphics as some retard suggests, it is a 2015 game and the switch version has double the resolution, better post processing effects and seems like if anti aliasing is too with other improvements. Also frame rate is better. So it is significant improvement for a game that is a port.
VVV: "It's a shame FAST Racing Neo isn’t available to a wider audience because PS4 and Xbox One owners are missing out on one of the most intense futuristic racers released in years. Its old-school structure and punishing difficulty won’t appeal to everyone, and it lacks the production values and iconic status of rival games that inspired it, but FAST Racing Neo is a challenging, adrenaline-filled futuristic racing game that successfully fills the void of WipEout and F-Zero with enough unique mechanics to set it apart, all for a temptingly cheap asking price. Clearly, Nintendo needs to hand over the F-Zero license to Shin’en."
Seems a bit weird reviewing the wii u version of this 2 days before the latest switch version is released. Nevertheless it sounds like a good game and it was a good review.
I wish this game was available on PC!
Know what this game reminds me of?
The first time I rode on The Accelerator at Knott's Berry Farm, down here in Southern California.
It gives you the same rush of adrenaline as that ride does, only more constant and with less lip-flapping and screaming.XD
I found Wipeout to be very cerebral as far as sci-fi racing games were concerned. Properly navigating a course was all about hitting corners at the proper angle and controlling the pitch of your nose and properly using the air brakes. The more complex courses are very difficult at high rates of speed.
I wish this were to come to other consoles. I miss anti-gravity racing. Maybe we'll get some more wipeout!
really love this game, graphics and gameplay are amazing..game is a technical marvel with nice shaders, bloom, etc. i recommend this game a lot
