The music of video games has transformed a lot since the days of the 8-bit era. The original tones of classic retro games have given way to sweeping orchestral scores, iconic rock and adrenaline-inducing techno, giving gamers a further level of immersion in everything from RPGs to racers. One game that prides itself not only on its gameplay but its soundscape is PACER, a combat racing experience set in zero gravity.
Pacer appears at first glance - a zero-gravity combat racer that either wants to date Wipeout or lock it in its basement.
R8Games' latest is now available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC, but can it lead the fast-paced futuristic racer genre?
Carlos writes "Ever since the arrival of WipEout back in 1995, many developers have worked hard to recreate that incredible racing that made WipEout such a joy to play."
