Quoting: ShmerlLot's of small hidden interactions. Trying to interact with a power socket gives an electric shock :)

Now the new activity would be making Shelly running around and pressing hidden buttons everywhere :)

That is a thing I miss on modern games. The scenery is very static, sterile. Most games you shoot a lamp and nothing happens. Objects cannot be interacted with. And this is a shame because, with so much CPU power nowadays, you wold think interactivity and NPC AI would be through the roof, but the opposite is true. Is like games had regressed on these regards on the last generation.

The reviews on Steam are not very good. People are complaining that the game is unpolished. The game is also on the Unreal engine, which is known to have low performance on Linux. I hope it is on a better shape by the time it launches on Linux.

Quoting: M@GOidOne thing that really piss me off to no end is the gearing noise and micro-vibration of Logitech wheels.

Heh. The only force-feedback wheel I've ever used :( was in the arcades, years ago. So long ago I don't actually remember what the game was, but it was obviously pretty early because I got the impression that the activation was digital, either on or off. And it both felt and sounded - above all the racket of an arcade, remember - like someone jamming a crowbar into the mechanism. Turn a corner, and... CLUNK! FOOOORCE-FEEEEEDBAAAAAACK!

Horrible. I wonder if that experience is what's put me off buying a modern wheel (which I'm sure would be much better).

Sega arcade race machines were like that. The strongest one I remember was Indy 500. It could actually yank the wheel off your hands if you didn't hold it firmly enough. At first I thought it was cool, but it gets old pretty fast when you actually try to beat your friends and win the race.

One thing that really piss me off to no end is the gearing noise and micro-vibration of Logitech wheels. Is very distracting and not realistic at all (I work with cars, the only ones doing that are the defective ones). The gears mechanism is cheaper to make, that is why is used.

I heard that the belt mechanism used in more high end wheels from Thrustmaster, Fanatech and others are quieter and smoother, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to test one to see it for myself.

My major complain in this game is the look of the items, I find them too colorful and a bit confusing. A more simple approach and simplicity would be welcome.

Less clutter and obstacles on some tracks also helps.

Quoting: heidi.wengerThis could be such a good game but... The controls are so horrendous. Can't keep on the track at all! Takes all the potential fun away.

These guys should have looked after more to Wacky Wheels ! :woot:

Actually, they managed to mimic Mario Kart 64 controls almost perfectly. If you find it too uncontrollable, maybe your gamepad was hyper sensitive. Tweaking the response can help you.

Quoting: M@GOidGamepad support is broken on the demo. Seriously guys, is 2019. People don't play 2D games on keyboard anymore (except some stubborn weirdos).

With that said, it looks like my kind of game. I hope they can fix gamepad support before the launch, so I can buy it. I learned in the hard way NOT to expect important fixes after the launch of a game.

I'm a stubborn weirdo. Keys are more responsive than analogue sticks.

You can always use the digital pad on a controller. Heck, I even passed the 3rd stage of NES Battletoads with the left touchpad of the Steam Controller as a D-Pad, it was not even that difficult.

I still wished they upgraded that APU a bit. I played a lot of indie games on a AMD A8 APU and several run poorly, because they where made expecting that the user have a Core i3 or better as a CPU.

AMD have a embedded Ryzen that is 4c/8t and have a base/boost 2.0/3.6 GHz that would the perfect for this machine, the V1605B. Although I would stick with the V1807B at 3.2/3.8 GHz and a better GPU.

I gave it a look but gamepad support (both DS4 and SC) are bugged right now.

Not wanting to be a ass but, it always amazes me how some developers neglect gamepads on modern PC games. I understand some people are hardcore mouse/keyboard devotees, but this is a racing game...

As of the gameplay, it is basically a drift game, not like the forgiving gameplay of Micro Machines. If you are not a fan of drifting, better not downloading this one.
