Looks like Trackmania meets those RC cars that can keep driving after you flip them over.

Also Spintires is on its way to Switch

The Tyco Rebound! I think I still have one of these around somewhere.

Eh. 6/10 is my initial thoughts. Looks okay, but they’re trying to be all hyper combat and hard rock metal edgy edge to it....Just make it RC Pro Am 3? This still isn’t F-zero. That’s my review of all non-Car based racing games on the switch - it’s still not F-zero.

But it did remind me that trackmania exists and all the fun I have when I play that soooooo.....bye! Gonna go play that for a while!

So they rebooted Rollcage from 1999?

F-Zero is good but it’s no Episode 1 Pod Racer.

I actually own GRIP on PC. It’s pretty fun, devs mentioned they’re rolling out an update in a few weeks to get PC a preview of what the release version looks like.

They’re looking to add proper destructible terrain so you can get a bit more of your inner Split/Second on, and they’re polishing a lot of the maps.

Episode 1 podracer was overrated IMO. I tried playing it recently and....it hasn’t held up. The controls are awful and sluggish and the fact that if you suck in the races too hard you can end up with a pod with all the pieces beat to hell and your stats reduced at the end of the game is unacceptable. I like the mechanic where you can get cheap junk parts and then fix them up by wining races but that burned my career as a kid cause they couldnt fix parts fast enough so the final circuit I had reduced stats. And since the parts are the same no matter which pod you choose.....I was stuck and had to start over.

Meanwhile, F-zero GX is probably in the top 3 racing games of all time.

Nice, but it’s no R.C. God Damn Pro-Am
