This is more of an F-Zero experience. It could almost be a standard racing game with the way much of it plays. ..the camera shake effect is good, and with a bit more dramatic shadowing added to the landscapes this could look great. Well, right now Real Racing is definitely it ..but I'm gonna keep my eye on this. Okay, now I've actually looked at a little of the video, I'm liking where this is headed.

The track seemed incidental at times. I want it to be like wipeout where it was this almost zen like experience where you were trying to be at one with the curves of the track, and hit every speed and weapons tile. The occasional missile or whatever screwing up your strategy just added to it. Get the racing right, and the feel of the ships. Add in the opponents and combat later. (All IMHO of course ..but I'm bound to like it that way - WipeOut 1 (PSX) was my first future-racer.) :) Yeah, I loved the thought of Low Grav Racer, and Phaze ..but they just didn't manage to make it fun or fast enough for me.

If a racing game doesn't have that sense, then what's the point? Phaze and Low Grav Racer suffered from this problem and weren't very fun as a result for an extended period of time. Game developers don't like the idea, but perhaps it's time to take this one back to the drawing board and speed up the game a bit (redesign the track to accomodate the speed, optimize performance, etc.) Otherwise, it'll join many others in the App Store as another boring futuristic racing game.

There's no real sense of speed in the footage I've seen.
