[@rasheedbedri]

Really looking forward to the game ❤

[@RacingGamesGuy_]

Honestly, i love this game, and i love Zero Games Studios, this game is actually very well made, this is why i play it every free time i have😊

[@junsea1oo7]

NICE GAME

[@creeper6411]

looks great. some questions about the controls: are button inputs customisable? How did you approach lack of analogue triggers? Does the game reckognise analogue input, when you use the gamecube controller?

[@PLVettier]

Hello. Imputs can be customized. You can also use right stick on Switch for analog throttle and brake. No recognition of Gamecube controller yet. But compatible with Hori Wheel.

[@autobus11a]

Is a GTX1060 really the minimum requirement? How about iGPU like Ryzen 3400G?

[@OmerSaidtr]

This retro racing game trend is getting out of hand. Edit: Not retro, as clarified by the dev himself.

[@ECfuckingW22]

At least this has a good graphics tbh😂😂

[@PLVettier]

This is not retro :)

[@xtlm]

It looks arcade-adjacent. Which is kind of a lacking area.

[@PLVettier]

@@xtlm We had something like "light simcade" in mind. (something in between arcade and simcade). The cars caracteristics are realistics, but we simplified the controls and put lot of drivers aids to allow everyone to have fun.

[@OmerSaidtr]

@@PLVettier If they are not intentionally going for retro graphics, then there is a problem.

[@mathew3267]

I would buy if framerate was solid 60fps.

[@mvagusta]

No playstation, no party.

[@flashrocket9158]

I just noticed Hyundai and Lexus billboards, so will we get Hyundai's and Toyota cars in the game?

[@Lgnzzz]

there was also a Mercedes billboard too, those 3 brands would be great to add to the car list

[@Callsign_J4WS]

Bring back extreme gear!!

Cant wait to play on ryzen 7 7745hx rtx 4070

[@supercommando440]

I’d hold off on Switch. I spent a few hours with this. Its rough. Feels like a mobile game. Theres no smoke effects, engine sounds randomly cut out. You cannot reset a race during Career mode which makes it overly tedious to advance. The AI is inconsistent. Sometimes brutal, will often ram and spin you out. If that happens you will lose (cant restart race). Then suddenly the AI will become extremely slow driving. Strange. The stats make no sense (for those who care about stats). Maybe a patch can save this. Grid Autosport for Switch is older and much better.

[@SSGLGamesVlogs]

I'm wondering if there's going to be AI Bot support when in Local Split Screen. I'm guessing when in 2-Player. But not when in 3 and 4-Player. Anyways, we have the manpower for 4-Player. So no AI Bots isn't the end of the world here.

[@PLVettier]

There will be an option for bots in 2 and 3 players if players wants to add cars to be sure to have at least 4 cars on the track.

[@SSGLGamesVlogs]

​@@PLVettier OK, I just noticed your reply. Thanks!

[@SheldonMcDonell]

What about the crash physics

[@TGNTheGamesNintendoOficial]

Will the game have weather effects like rain? Night drive? And will the game have crossplay online?

[@PLVettier]

No rain, but endurance races in career mode will start on early morning and finish in the evening.

[@pedrocaseiro95]

Nice, finally another racing game for the Switch that looks good. I do have some feedback on what I've read and seen so far about the game: - The HUD could've been better designed, I don't know what it is but it feels a little bland and a bit childish to me. - The handling model seems fine for the average Switch player, racing gamers are more of a niche nowadays and the physics seem a good balance between arcade and realistic to cater to the more serious audience and the "normal" RPG and platform player wanting to adventure in racing. I'm really hoping the game won't be a case of NFS Shift's handling with very unnatural oversteer. - Endurance races without the pitstop part could become boring and grindy. Mandatory pitstops could've also been implemented in the higher categories like F1 to make races more interesting and challenging. - Wet/Rain conditions would've been nice to have Now onto more positive things: - Game looks great, car and track selection is great, has offline career mode. I'm giving this feedback with the best of intentions, I can't wait to play the game and I see a lot of potential for a sequel. Will there be a physical release?

[@PLVettier]

Hello !! I'm one of the developers ! Unfortunately, pitstops and changing weather were too complicated as we're just a "small" indie studio, and we preferred to focus on doing less things, but the best we could in our time/budget. There will be a physical release thanks to Maximum Entertainment. So you can already pre-order the game. Thanks for your feedbacks !

[@michhael.17]

Looks very slippery when you turn

[@PLVettier]

It's not a simulation :)

[@hertzwave8001]

@@PLVettier he didnt say anything about it being a simulator

[@FractalSurf]

I think it is the camera, i hope there is an option to make it more stiff

[@epiclyslowcars]

It's probubly more geared towards arcade racing like GRID or Asphalt.

[@DanDiMaggio]

Will the PC versions have wheel support?

[@PLVettier]

Not at launch, but working on it !

[@kpegc]

@@PLVettier Will there be support for the Switch Hori steering wheels? I love what you're doing with this game; it looks like an incredible throwback to the days of RACE 07 and TOCA Race Driver! The Switch has been in need of a more realistic, track oriented racer for a while now, and I'm thankful you guys are filling that gap in the market.

[@Potaitohead_Plays]

@@kpegc Switch Hori wheel is basically just a controller, you can use it with any game (including non racers) so should work with this.

split screen?

Add more opponent instead of 12 to 16

That looks horrible, floating cars, disgusting textures. The Switch can handle much more, that's just poor development. The Concepts are good, but it needs more polishing

F bad

[@blackfox5413]

Minimum gpu is GTX 1060 - are you fucking kidding? 2-sprite trees, no grass and only 12 cars require more than Witcher 3 required? Is there a 5k polygon toothbrush in each car?

[@o00nemesis00o]

I imagine it would run on an older GPU, but since they don't have an older one, they can't test it, and thus can't guarantee decent performance for it. Incidentally, 5,000 polygons wouldn't tank performance. A 500,000 polygon toothbrush might have an impact...

[@Alex_Power]

Would be good if the halo in the F1 car was smaller or not visible
