The vibe/atmosphere is spot on. Beautiful midnight feels similar to old NFS Underground 1, 2, and NFS 2015's art direction. More power to the devs and this game!
This game is like a mix between Tokyo Xtreme Racer and Need for Speed Underground with a late 90's to early 00's flair. This isn't just a game, this is an experience!
Having grown up in a time where I remembered these cars when they were new. Looking back on all this stuff, in the lens of a nostalgic game hits so hard for me.
If you tell me this was made by Chilla's Art, I'd believe you. Something about the artstyle, sound effects as well as the anxiety effects screams Japanese horror video game and I love it. The game having an actual story is a great surprise too. Music gets way too loud when driving fast though. I hope the max volume can be changed.
@@sanderhackerhd8369the VHS effects as well as the sense of speed give it a horror vibe. Plus the countdown during a race while the screen keeps shaking and the breathing intensifies, yeah that's plain scare tactics
The feeling of speed is just awesome. I didn’t know about this game, I thought I’d watch it for 5-10 minutes, but ended up stuck for the whole hour. I would like to know what kind of cars you can buy in the game. I really hope that there are fairlady and gtr clones there.
The only available car in the demo is the car that I am using in the video (180). But there are more cars in the full game. Here are the cars coming to the full game: Nissan Silvia S15 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R Toyota JZX-100 MarkII Porsche 964
@@Payfor great news, thanks. It's a pity that fairlady z s30 is not in the game yet, but I hope that it will appear in the future. Making your own devil z in this game would be awesome :D
5:18 to 6:25 this is an incredible moment. They should take the opportunity to have credits fade in and out in some small font during the first drive to make it even more cinematic with the backdrop of the music, the engine sound fading into silence as you're blasting by other cars - this is exactly how it feels IRL. It would be a perfect introduction. It's the subtle things that make a mans spine tingle in games like this. Hope it sees a full release.
The feeling of speed you get is unreal! I love how you can't even look at the gages to see how fast you're going, farm you couldn't anyways because cars come up on you so fast! So excited to play this
You don't know, how much i appreciate soundtrack they used in this game. "Binary" by asc is like one of the tracks that got me into jungle, dnb and breakcore. It just fits so well with fast-paced wangan races.

I'm like many others who just cannot wait to get their hands on this lil' gem for consoles one day soon! ✌️
@@mrturbo757 I hope it does come to consoles because everyone needs to play this. This game is well worth the wait. It is truely very good. On the patreon discord, there's like hundreds of people playing the early demo, and talking about the game and we cant stop talking about how good it is and how this might be the best street racing game ever made, even beating the peak era NFS games like underground 2 and most wanted. Them calling the demo a straight up masterpiece. the demo has been out for like 3-4 days, and I already got over 20 hours in it. stayed up till 5am in the morning three days in a row playing the demo. its just that fucking good. The game is just as good as it looks in the videos and even better when you actually get your hands on it and FEEL the car as you swurve in and out of traffic and hit the corners at blistering speeds. When the public gets their hands on this game, the jdm and racing fans are going to go fucking nuts.
Amazing game. Idk if it’s the shifting sounds or what but the sound of the engine is accurate to how it really sounds it’s just how the car sounds shifting into another gear. It sounds off to me. Other than that it’s by far the best looking racing game coming out in a long time
What I'd love to see in the final release : - a more customizable hideout with furnitures buyable in different shops localised on the map where you need to pick them up at (sofa, computer, tv, carpet, lights for a cozy feeling) -a more tetris cars parts rack where you need to organize your parts (some box won't fit and you need to manage the space you have) -buyable hideouts with higher price for more space (double car allowed) -cool animations when installing, removing, changing parts -handmade reparation system (scratches, tires pression and so on)
I bought access to the demo. Unfortunately, my computer sucks and I wasn't able to actually drive since my game would just crash every time. But even without the driving part, I still loved the game. Can't wait to play it with a better computer Edit: I got a better computer and can now play it at the highest specs 😁
@@CaptianClone I'll have to double check. But from what I remember it was like, $90 on Amazon 😂. Dunno why I thought it could run, but I thought I'd give it a try. Cause somehow, the computer can run need for speed underground 1 and 2, L4D2, and select Roblox games. But it can't run Minecraft? Weird but whatever lol
Genki: We can't make Shutokou Battle or Kaido Battle. Instead, we are making Wangan Midnight: Maximum Tune with Namco. Gaming Factory, Night Runners Dev: Fine, I'll do it myself. I hope Night Runners and Japanese Drift Master are successful enough for Genki and Scamco to regret it. I also wish someone would make a Ridge Racer spiritual sequel and give Scamco even more regrets.
Only the best releases about JDM recently. Japanese Drift Masters and Night Runners and I hope both of this games bring back JDM to its core underground layers.
Everything about this is so dope!! Also you should try get in concert with the Australian wave artist Skeler his music is also the perfect vibe for this game. Especially if you check out his album "NightDrive part 2"
This looks fantastic, but I started having fits when you were going through the customisation and slammed it on it's ass and gave it so much negative camber that it might as well have bicycle wheels 😂
dont know if its intentional or not but the small things like the guiding arrow and the way the headlights show in the rear view mirror are so nostalgic to the midnight club games
I wonder if there'll be some variety. I love the concept but would love to see some touge stuff in addition to the midnight wangan roulettezoku thing as more or less straight line racing is what I always bitch about in the United States car scene 🤣
The music is so good, and the atmosphere is very cool. The only thing I noticed is the animation of the guy killing his cigarette gets a bit repetitive. Otherwise seems interesting and very nice vibes!
its like tokyo extreme racer meets need for speed underground on steroids. super awesome. if i could find a non-gonk ps4/5 style dual shock controller that wasnt stupid on windows i would totally play the hell out of this.
Music is good, the uniqueness I don't know. What makes it unique, the art style, the vfx? the shaders? I get more to do in Need for speed underground 2
This game is almost exactly like Import Tuner Challenge on xbox 360. That game was pretty fun but the small on linear Japanese style roads made it feel extremely empty.
The music is INSANE, is it so hard for AAA studios to understand that THIS IS what we NEED???
It is when they’re populated by wack mfers with zero understanding of car culture
Drum n Bass used to be in every racing game back in the late 90s and 2000s . Sadly,no game has DnB nowadays
Shame this game has no hip hop and eurobeat!
@@sanderhackerhd8369 it should stay that way
@@shingosshojiopoulos6608 It was more Breakbeat/Big Beat than DnB.

@@guccibuckethatbrrr wow just like road to vostok and some other games in the works. goodluck to all these passionate devs!
There’s a big Tokyo extreme racer vibe to it too

Having grown up in a time where I remembered these cars when they were new. Looking back on all this stuff, in the lens of a nostalgic game hits so hard for me.
I’m so hyped for this game! Once the full version drops ima go all in!
Now this is something to Payfor !!!!
except its free :3

What I'd love to see in the final release :
- a more customizable hideout with furnitures buyable in different shops localised on the map where you need to pick them up at (sofa, computer, tv, carpet, lights for a cozy feeling)
-a more tetris cars parts rack where you need to organize your parts (some box won't fit and you need to manage the space you have)
-buyable hideouts with higher price for more space (double car allowed)
-cool animations when installing, removing, changing parts
-handmade reparation system (scratches, tires pression and so on)
this game goes from ps1 to ps2 to early 2010 pc to xbox 360 graphics each 3-6 minutes
You can hear the distorted agran Turismo (tuning) music in the background at 26:00
