i swear the most exciting feeling in this game is when you enter the parking area and find a car you haven't seen before, i get goosebumps everytime

[@Puffypoo574]

“I get those goosebumps everytime”

[@likeitraf]

You would be familiar with that if you ever played Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Drift especially because they have categories of opponents.

[@peanut_trooper4583]

how do i get the game what store is it

[@Puffypoo574]

@@peanut_trooper4583 it’s on patreon

[@pallav8725]

​@@likeitrafistg getting those secret racers sometimes was like hitting a jackpot, they usually wagered some epic car parts that were unavailable till the later on in the game

[@Aalbert02]

This proves you really don’t need a big map or crazy graphics, you really just need a story and engaging atmosphere that’s what really gaming has always been about anyways. Too many good looking games with simplistic objectives just falls short compared to this masterpiece

[@pochewilson]

This game don’t have a story. Like at all. Dev even said themselves. But it does have great atmosphere and wonderful physics

[@Aalbert02]

@@pochewilson okay I was not aware of that thank you for clearing that up for me. It does seem like it have some story to it though somewhat

[@pochewilson]

@@Aalbert02 only in the most surface sense. It’s got a reason for you to be there…but that’s about it. The way the creator puts it, no story, but lots of activities

[@j377yb33n]

@@pochewilson doesn't have a 'story' but it's got enough progression to make you feel like it's your story, rather than the characters.

[@-mako-6018]

as long as there's some progress you can make the story yourself, the feeling of earning something yourself alone is good enough for me tbh

[@SpadGame]

It's crazy how much worthwhile there is to do in this DEMO! This game is shaping up to be absolutely incredible!

[@saddemon3913]

Yeah, devs just found the gold spot between graphics and gameplay, they covered all worst parts of not good graphics behind VHS style, and focused on building the gameplay and difficulty balance

[@SilentMustang]

Jem is the only dev for this game @@saddemon3913

[@rickorso]

​​@@saddemon3913yeah this game looks so beautifully balanced in both graphics and gameplay, reminds me of old early 2000s games where you didn't care about graphics but about the atmosphere and the feelings that the game gave you. Oh and btw it's just one dev, he's doing a beautiful job!

[@dellanowhite8729]

This game is so interesting. The cars, the customization, in game decision, crew territories, I can just imagine what other elements are left hidden in the complete game

[@randeenmattis1276]

Fun fact, there’s technically 2 cars in the demo. The 180RS and the 200RS and the 200RS actually has 6 gears and is EXPONENTIALLY faster when it’s built compared to the 180 when it’s built

[@donovanolguin6549]

Yeah but I heard that the 180 has better acceleration but the 200 has a better top speed

[@nihilisticpoet]

How is this game sounding better than nearly every other racing game with the same performance setups. Goddamn, I hope this comes out on consoles one day. What a banger sound and music wise too, listened to the OST on Spotify.

[@dakotasheppard6419]

Lol I can imagine you getting a call saying" you left a big oil spill at the starting line " like on most wanted* PS2 version

[@husleman]

Theo, you can end the night earily, by going upstairs and going to the bunk bed and sleep to end the night. It has to be atleast 12 for you to end the night early.

[@thallessartori]

19:45 KEISUKE THE GOAT!!! Initial D references are incredible, shout out to the creator of the game for doing that

[@tharunsagar3629]

I was so hyped when I read the name Keisuke😭

[@likeitraf]

The Crew Motorfest also did that in the Japan playlist. Some of the AI names are based on Initial D characters or real life racer/drifter.

[@thallessartori]

@@tharunsagar3629 fr, me too

[@rashad4566]

You lose signal in the tunnels, pretty cool detail.

[@tinystar3010]

I hope it goes back to the original difficulty. Too many people complained about it being too hard. Too hard is what we need. Too hard is why I loved the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series as a kid. It felt absolutely amazing finally beating all the big bosses, working my way up. The downside of internet, is complainers ruin the potential of games before they're even finished.

[@TomokoxKuroki]

fr, like 99% of racing games are too easy, including the ones lots of people say are hard like older nfs games. the only games i can think of that really scratch the itch of making me actually work for a victory are midnight club 2 and wipeout. i was looking forward to a game that doesnt make me a literal god amongst drivers simply for not crashing 24/7 and upgrading my car sometimes. when i go up against a racer that is hyped up to be fast, i want them to actually be FAST, not just "marginally faster than the other peons who i wiped the floor with effortlessly"

[@SpeedySpeedBoy14]

@UwU-pk6nv 1. If you want easier games go play any Forza Horizon or modern NFS game 2. If you cant play games like these, its a skill issue 3. Like Theo suggested its best to have difficulty settings, it would be better if there are incentives to play on harder difficulties In, conclusion instead of crying around about hard games try to improve yourself or suggest better ideas so that everyone can be satisfied.

[@TURB0FTW]

I agree. I still play on the first few updates of the game just so I can feel like I am making actual progress in the game and feeling rewarded for it. not this "easy mode" that is now... hope it will change!

[@s2e130]

Exactly if a game isn't challenging in the slightest it loses all the element of fun and the sense of achievement when you beat someone, with this it's just like, meh I won...yay. 🤷

[@donovanolguin6549]

He said he only changed the starting racers. You legit couldn't win the day it dropped since after 3 races with Daisuke would dust you. But after that he got slightly easier

[@alpha-0874]

This game reminds me a little of Street Racing Syndicate. Racing for pink slips in that was some of the most stressful, but also satisfying things I've ever seen in a racing game. Would be cool if the full version of Night Runners had something like that.

[@Robert_D_Mercer]

SRS holy fuck, memories on ps2

[@avriltech5832]

19:56 Funny how pants can't pronounce Keisuke 😂 this guy's clearly referring to the Initial D character since he's also in an RX7 Goated game can't wait for the full game

[@hereskyubi3333]

Theres another boss after Star Tamer, you have to beat a few more racers before you can challenge the boss of Endless Appeal.

[@JDMaamer]

Would've been cool to face big body boyz

[@d0ge666]

The single dial above your steering wheel should be the speedo, you have another option above your steering wheel, where you can get a tachometer with 11000 rpms, obviously it wouldn’t really help you right now but at least you can have both dials on at the same time

[@phoroclock]

This is great I love this there is an actual progression system that you have to work towards that unlocks more of the game. The more you play that’s how you keep your players invested.

[@stegreenwood7641]

The car’s indicators should flash left or right to show what road / lane you should take in a race

[@burnerheinz]

The Burnout approach would suit this game well.

[@umartai4833]

Theo, you need to go to steering column gauges and buy the gauge that displays ur speed, the rev one will still stay the same too.

[@afreshreaction]

yay now we can shift perfectly and make our engine hotter @ 74 cooling!

[@jeremyhenry3126]

The secret formula to Night Runners. Keep your engine strength and cooling roughly 80% or higher. And ALWAYS when you can. Tires. Ecu. Transmission. Camshaft. Then slowly upgrade everything else. This is how you get stupid fast. Stupid quick.

[@eds2121]

mileage of your car goes up as you drive it such a little detail yet add's so much to the game in my opinion

[@djernie8085]

I definitely hope NFS is taking notes on this game because this is an instant classic.

[@arty_rick]

a really cool detail in the speedometers is that the light that shines on them depends on where u are in the map (a dark place for example)

[@gvbe_gc8]

I always play this game with the Maximum Tune 3 soundtrack playing in the background, makes the racing feel more intense

[@jayfujiwara9740]

I wanna play some maxi arcades so much but there aren't any near me. I can't even emulate them because I don't have a pc😭

[@jasonchampagne3520]

I'm 45 and still game and listen to drum&bass.

[@F46KYEAMBACK]

Engine Mapping or whatever NFS UG2 had for their URL races, need that and this game is GOLD

[@r6noob472]

love the look of this game cant wait for it to come out

[@nousername7582]

I randomly downloaded this game yesterday night and I started playing this morning and I’ve fallen in love with it. So much I had to look it up on yt and now I’m invested in this community and Its crazy how this is just the beginning

[@clumsygarage1578]

btw the high octane fuel is "only" 87 because different places have different octane measuring systems.

[@_Jesus1221_]

W man for not getting paid out by the opps

[@anubisfirst]

for the overheat against the skyline i had that issue until i figured out that you can just sit on the start line and cooldown. also havent made it that far into the vid but for the drags to do a burn out hold brake fully hold accelerator fully then quickly release the brake and reapply fully and hold

[@marianvat]

If you need a speedo theo honestly just change the red boost gauge to a purple speedo,you have boost gauge on the column anyway

[@secretgamer0007]

I think the diffuculty needs to be back and a difficulty option should be there in the start of the game so that whoever wants to just go according to their skills can be satisfied. Frankly the hard one gives more feel and is one of the things we are loving this games demo so far and this also makes it unique in every damn way to the arcade/racing games these days

[@kisoblehh]

cant wait to finish my auto and then switch to manual, one of the best racing games I've ever played cant wait to see wait to see the finished product

[@rorroryusoul]

Very cool video black panthaa

I can't wait for this game to become available to everyone. It looks stunning, the mods are awesome and being in japan is sick. Love this game 👍

[@arabellapatriciabieber]

I love this game and that you're playing with it, but man, does the game in itself give me anxiety 😂📈

[@hollykat5177]

reminds me so much of import tuner challenge that game was ahead of its time one of my favourites

[@taijin.9473]

I loooove your videos so much! Please keep up the content! Can you maybe make some more GT7 Videos again? ❤❤

[@SaltyKiten]

16:42 , pants became the real milkman now xd

[@GTRFREAK17]

Hilarious to find out your pulling a Takumi after his engine upgrade! xD ahahaha

[@floydframpton]

Talking about difficulty… I’ve literally just started playing NFS UG for the first time in years and it’s so difficult compared to modern games. No rewind, tough AI even on medium and if you make a mistake that can be it, even right at the end of a long race.

[@bigsmoke5814]

I dont think so dude. i played the game with hard difficulty and manual shifting on a keyboard. you should try that it's easy.

[@ShitzBroken]

I cant wait for the full release!

[@Mr.Vazquez]

I'm I the only one to tap rewind repeatedly right at the intro to get a smooth night night night night- runners lol.

[@djungelskog2654]

Imagine porting the vibes of TXR3 to the present This game is peak, can't wait to get it

[@flawedandnotperfect]

Thank you Sir Pants for the playlist but the vids ain't in the order from last to updated

[@RonGsworld]

I need this game in my life reminds me of txr 1 n 2 hopefully they add online n pink slips

[@m16-a2]

I'd say a widebody porsche would be sick

[@MasCo630]

This is what extreme Tokyo racer zero was heading towards 🍻

[@impulsearcade]

This is absolutely an incredible racing game 👍

[@areYouStillUpAt12]

6:22 *”But would you lose?”*

[@CVBFonzP7B]

A more cartoony mmorpg racing game i play called drift city does a good job of making u decide if u wanna keep ur cars or buy new ones. If u have time, give it a try if ur into the level uo and grind for rare parts/craft them kinda game. Theres like 200+ cars in the game as of right now

[@Arexion5293]

I hope the full game has cars like Hon-- I mean Yanda SNX, Sannis Z30S, Z300X and Z350, Zamda X7R CF and DF, Bitsumishi Knight 5 or 6, Rubasu CG8, Yotota RM2 WS20, Celi-Ka GT4, JZA70 and JZA80. And a.. Ledge Copperhead GTS Coupé would be cool too. Purrari F355 maybe as a dlc.

[@ISAK.M]

I love this game so much

[@TheLivio98]

Sup Pantha, you have to balance Power and cooling stats. If cooling is 100% it will never overheat. I you get below 100%, the more you get it low, the fastest your car overheat. Not good if you want do bosses races becouse you need to run a lot. Dont worry about HP, you just need at least 700Hp to get 400km\h. You can improve your handling buying every carbon body part and remove everyting you can. Also by reducing weight you get faster acceleration. Another thing: the differrence between the 180Rs and 200Rs is that the 200Rs has 6 gears

[@marvindaclinat6418]

This game is thrilling! Im getting my patreon on payday.

[@kingofpassionplusyt]

Once again with night sweat runners. Pure sweat runners all sweat in yo face runners. The skyline looks beautiful and sexy 💚

[@user-vv1qg7zo6o]

theo, after oh so many episodes, you still haven’t changed your speedometer 😂😂😂

[@mylifeisfunny8911]

I hope it will be released on steam soon

[@alexandersousa1114]

To be fair... your car has 900+ HP. You didn't have it fully upgraded against S.K. so lol.

[@thewhiteknight9923]

The new difficulty is absolute pants now😭 I want to be on edge the entire race😭 14:44 Pants I tell you pants😭

[@DripChicken732]

the finish line shutter sound is like MW 05's

[@jncoh]

the skyline sounds so good😩. I just have to wonder if there will ever be a rx7 and how it would sound or a 2jz

[@fayahmad7273]

So this is the cooler version of Street Supremacy (PSP ver. for TXR) but you start as a wanderer instead choosing a team to be your place to build your legacy. Eeeiii its a really good game

[@Nite_Rider]

You should build a drift car as there is drifting features in the game

[@johnchenoweth278]

Where do you have to install this game 😢 I would love to play it and I got bored with fh5 but this looks more incredible than anything that has came out in the past ten years for arcade racers in my opinion. Goes straight to the top like need for speed undergrounds / most wanted 2005 vibes of just brilliant!

[@evb8946]

Thank you for listening panther I appreciate it

[@LightningWolf127]

I'm not going to lie this game makes me want to start playing street supremacy again

[@nerdodragonnerdpl4167]

Underground and 2015 does proces of building and novelty of car as well not bad

[@AbslutelyWithoutName]

I think we need "rubberbanding" for the ai boss

[@JoJoFlare]

what you needed was the high speed speedo lol

[@INTHEFIELD777]

I cannot wait til dude lets this ride for us console players. We all have to live vicariously through the PC master race until then

[@jules8878]

Dude this game is mad hard I’m in debt lol

[@DJZ3ROKONTROL]

Make these videos longer panthaaaaa

[@skylinecollector]

The next car should be a 200sx so can build that engine up and see if there is a difference.

[@gonzo191]

This game needs pink slip races to add to the anxiety

[@hnooooodi]

This game is like elding ring for cars 🤣 I love it!!

[@MobDKGr]

Elden Ring. There's also Dark Souls.

[@ruslanvartanian1820]

The only thing they need to do to perfect the guages is to make them go past maximum value so you can do acceleration from 0 and 360 the guage back to 0, same with rpm.

[@z_max33]

I need this game so bad rn

[@sharvapotdar3257]

Fact you were shifting too early because you forgot to change the dial is peak Initial D!

[@NBD_Keto]

You can get a better kmh gauge too like the rpm gauge

[@natebass1482]

gives me tokyo extreme vibes cant wait

[@MarDrinksalot]

i think they made the checkpoints easier to see

[@antoninoincontrera8014]

It's a shame I have to pay the dev's subcription ob patreon to play this game, I NEED TO PLAY THIS GAME

[@delorean8757]

If your gonna build a car for just cruising around DO NOT GO OVER 400 horsepower select mostly the 2nd option for everything upgrade & handling and maybe go automatic transmission so you can focus on driving faster and less factors of distractions

[@CDN296]

finally a game for enthusiasts

[@KhaosInc]

you can use the bed next to the pc to end

[@EL-_-DIABLO]

I would love to play this game

[@smashed_penguin]

game needs some Kei Car traffic cars for added authenticity

[@jeromelavoie4931]

Should go with the skyline, wait till its out

[@RD-jr7tc]

if you like this game , play the classic tokyo extreme racer 1,2, and 3 they need to make a new one!
