There is some random shop doing early pre orders for the next expansion. Tunnel Vision. Heavy rain was set up in November and released in February. Probably the same timeline for this one.

Great playthrough/review

Thanks!

This extension feels really lackluster. For something called "heavy rain" you could've hoped they would've added some kind of "module" to introduce the heavy rain in all tracks. You only can play with heavy rain on japan, the other track is mexico in an expansion called heavy rain... So its basically 2 tracks with gimmicks that can't be easily fitted into other tracks and one car. Maybe the base game spoiled us by providing so much content that we expected more from this extension. Or maybe calling it the Japan/mexico tracks extension would've lowered the expectations.

Yup, can't argue with any of your conclusions. Like I said in the video, I'm happy to have it, but I'm not sure I would have actively sought it out myself.

Yeah, I was also quite disappointed with my purchase. They should have introduced standing water as a weather module. Mexico having nothing to do with rain is just dumb, too. I'll probably buy one more of the future expansions to get to 8 cars but I will be picky with which one from now on.

12:51 I think you handled the green car correctly - let me check my rulebook - nothing specific. It only says that if an A.I. car starts on a "double chevron" it CAN cross two lines. No details about "if it does NOT start on a double chevron", so it looks like you just move the car as far as you can without crossing two lines. Nothing in an FAQ on it, either.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

@@nagredmoonstriker252 yeah, it seems to be a gray area at the moment, but not a big deal

[@kallethen9389]

18:12 Whoops! You forgot to slipstream here like you said you would after you moved your car.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The AI is easy to manage but there's always a car that gets super lucky and blasts way ahead. The way the AI works it's then extremely unlikely to ever catch them once they get a turn ahead.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I don’t find that too different from how my games with real players go 😜

[@UmouMais]

I agree and this is why I only add 2 to 3 bots besides the players, to make it more fair. Playing against all of them is pretty challenging
