I Played The BEST NEW JDM Racing Game EARLY! (Night Runners)

@@neblolthecarnerd Exactly! "Need For Speed" was already a BIG name in the gaming industry 20 years ago!

[@Disco_Potato]

Brings back memories of Tokyo Xtreme Racer games back from the 90s/early 2000s. They were such good games.

[@rjcraft18]

i was thinking the same thing I played all of them and still lopve them.

[@bfcricky]

Great games but the handling was terrible.

[@ZingZingNZ]

The import tuner challenge was the last one. Until ps3

[@MilaSwiftlySenpai]

This game has midnight club levels of customization and yet a full AAA company like EA still can't do customization like this nowadays which is wild

[@c4r4dd1ct6]

That part might be a licensing issue beyond the company’s control. Same goes for damage models nowadays it seems.

[@LordCarCrash]

@@c4r4dd1ct6 Yep, you're correct. If we want more games with good customization and damage models, companies need to make games with unlicensed cars. Which they don't do anymore...

[@Myl02077]

👏🏾 EA are just lazy money grabbing pigs, no care or passion is put into their games anymorw

[@Kev27RS]

@@LordCarCrashTrue! That’s why Night Runners is on the right path! No real life brands = more car models and customization options that still manage to look like the real life models!

[@Otherface]

@@c4r4dd1ct6 then, how about doing the exact thing this game does, which is making its own models? If licensing nowadays is such an overall bitch, then why even try to pay for it, when you can just make your own and still win?

[@phoroclock]

I like how the faces and plates are blurred out. It really gives it that underground gritty vibe

[@manjiookami7962]

Yoooo, Christmas present from the dev? Great timing! Been waiting for this game since its first footages. I love the whole vibe and atmosphere. It's clear that the game was made with tonns of love and passion. Huge props to the dev.

[@gabrielsobrosa]

The atmosphere in this game is what is missing in games these days. Hope to see a lot of cars

[@BlueLightning12]

Using google to convert yen to US dollars, that 35,000 yen roof wing equals out to $247.60 and honestly I'd say that's a pretty accurate price for that little bit of kit.

[@CyanRooper]

Bear in mind that the game is set during the late 90s or early 2000s so the actual conversion rate would be quite different (the $247.60 conversion is for 2023, not whatever year the game is set in).

[@theinkysquid7661]

Yo the guy that made this has a deep love for classic Jdm tuning, looking through the modifications just on the wing alone I spotted C-West, URAS (my favourite tuning company), supermade. On the bumpers I spotted BN sports, GP sports, Origin, Veilside. All super old school classic jdm parts. Love it. Also Theo, it’s a classic jdm aesthetic styled game, presumably set in the 90’s. Chassis mount wings weren’t a thing back then, atleast not on street cars

[@Nagi98]

So you are tellin me a ninja in a basement made this game, but entire TEAMS of devs could not even bother to listen to people screaming FOR YEARS about a game like this.

[@RellyG100]

This game will become very popular and will set a new standard. Also the fact that one guy is doing all of this is beyond impressive. Man if I knew how to make games I’d help this man for free because the passion is unmatched.

[@silentpowerYT]

just a tip. you need to reduce the tire profile to make the wheels larger

[@spektacles1927]

That specifically brings back memories of me trying to put the biggest chrome TIS wheels on luxury cars in Midnight Club 3 DUB edition remix

[@rubenbarbeiro6078]

How do you change the profile of the tires?

[@Sparkcell275]

This game looks so sick, I hope it’ll come to consoles at some point. I don’t know if it will but I’ll be watching if you do a series on this for sure.

[@ivato46]

i dont think, many small games cant pass the requirements to get on consoles, and i find pretty hard fot this (altough is still in its embrional state)

[@_Amiasian]

​@@ivato46it's possible. Car X drifting is on console

[@rusx7468]

the devs said once the pc port is stable they’ll start looking into consoles

[@Cullinan000]

Looks fantastic! Finally a modern car game with proper customization! Really looking forward to play this!

[@Chrisdash392]

The amount of customization that they have in this game is crazy !! I like that u can also upgrade the suspension piece by piece too.

[@Jimmy_neutrons]

this is amazing, this game is exactly what i want out of a racing game, its crazy the amount of work that has been done. i also glad its a small group that have achieved and created this awesome game as they wont try and get licenses which means we can use unique cars that no other game will let you use on a good game that lets you customize to this extent. Can;t wait to try it out

[@_trois]

I hope they're eventually gonna try and get this on the PS store, I bet it'd go crazy if the PC release is a W

[@glorious_entertainment]

14:00 I actually kinda like the “press a button to bring up the gps” thing, it’s different and more realistic (normally you have to look away from the road to check the gps, unless u have a very modern car with heads-up or smthn)

The game looks amazing, but they really need to work on navigation/gps stuff. For me who have driven on the shutoko both in-game(for like a million times) and in-person, I have no problem remembering the PAs, JCTs and large tolls. But the ramps and smaller tolls? I would easily get lost on finding those without a proper navigation as well😂
