Why does it feel like all these posts are just a sales team trying to push this game?

And most of the posts are like “The sense of speed is insane!!! Omfg!”

And i’m watching it like “looks like your typical racing game speed?” I’m guessing the only other racing game these people played was Mario Kart lmao.

Sense of speed is a thing. People who play lots of racing games know about it. Some games don’t get it right (the newest Forza Motorsport was horrible with this). The Grid series probably has the best “sense of speed” of games I’ve played. Creating the sensation that you are ripping along at hundreds of MPH requires a lot of visual trickery.

Or just an FoV slider

The Burnout series gives a pretty good sense of speed imo. Complete zen experience as you become one with your machine, and then you smash some npcs into the wall and they explode in slow motion.

Which fits since the devs of Burnout also made Galactic Racer.

Honestly, no.

You must have not played many modern racing games, but Galactic Racer has hit on a certain feeling that's been feeling rare these days

The sense of speed in this game is absolutely wild. I've been a racing fan for decades and no game feels half as fast as this. It's a big selling feature - you can't be making these endless jerky adjustments. You have to figure out how to do it very smooth and calm in order to deal with the speed. It's hard to get in that frame of mind and when you do, this is the most satisfying racing game I've ever played.

It really is that different. I've played 50 or more. Nothing compares. I'm not paid to say that, it's just nuts to experience.

It might be because youre normally racing much slower vehicles through majority of the game, but the pods feel fucking fast.

level 15 skim speeder with maxed out acceleration and ramjet and cornering feels like a podracer, you fly around corners so fast you can drift without using the button

You're going off a video that has an extremely narrow FOV

i have no idea what game this is but yeah this looks incredibly tame. i feel like i would be bored within 5 mins. and i absolutely loved pod racing, possibly my favorite part of all of star wars

It's a new racing game set in the Star Wars universe that's getting a lot of good reviews, as it's basically Burnout (it's made by many of the same devs).

The sense of speed in this game has NOTHING on 200cc

u/Cleave 2h ago

Podracing is basically 200cc

u/Shnitzel_von_S 2h ago

Pod racing? Snore city. See you on Mario Circuit 3 200cc to get your ass kicked
