I love how video games graphics have progressed to the point of "hyper" realism, that going back to the PS1 and PS2 aesthetics is so cathartic especially if you're a millennial or early gen z.
@@Agret fr don’t know a game this good for graphics on ps2 but he’s right this is an awesome change I hope this gets a trend and picked up by some big game developers
this game looks insane, really excited for it. I love the dark tone and how you're in debt, it has none of this light-hearted happy festival crap found in modern racing games
"Drew like a dark, fucked up version of a racing game haha. Just a glimpse into my dark reality. A full stare into my twisted perspective would make most simply go insane lmao."
ehh lighthearted is fine, those games are celebrating the cars. however a more appropriate atmosphere like your car getting stolen, or a run in with a crew that decides to use violence or debt is fine, just not too dark. game is cool im seeing some odd horror pieces in here tho kinda throws off the look hes going for but it matches the story ig
A new racing game with a distinct and interesting art style? No bland summer festival vibe BS like from the crew/forza? Has to be the first one in years, awesome
I always dreamt of something like this. Modern game, but older style engine. With all the tech we have, we can make something even more perfect with those older style games. Like Most Wanted for example. Imagine a game with that same engine and graphics but with better physics, 60fps, and a different map/cars/story
@@charlesanderson1321 I on the contrary would wanna play Midnight Club 2 or 3 (even 1). I miss those old school racing games where you were an actual illegal street racer and not some festival participant
@@swagonometry9893 Same. Its the best one imo. I loved those cocky cutscenes from the other racers before each race. I love how they all had a song to define them as well. So cool
this looks cool as shit! reminds me of a dark spoopy version of Toyko Xtreme Racer/ Import Tuner Challenge/ & the Wangan MidnNight Maximum Tune Games i love it! been waiting for a good spiritual Successor to the TXR series
I love the look of these 80s/90s VHS effects but they are not fitting with the year the game is set in which is 2007 apparently. HD digital cameras existed then, VHS was super outdated. If the game was set in the 90s this would've been fitting and super cool. I think they should have gone for a old-school digital camera look, like the early TH-cam videos with tons of video compression. Still awesome looking game though.
Agreed, it's out of place. But it fits the aesthetic for sure, some dudes were still running VHS cams and what not for simplicity/affordability. I have a VHS cam that looks great compared to digital cameras of its time.
In another recent video on TH-cam, at the end of a race there's a freeze frame exterior shot of the car with a date stamp in the corner that says 1994. So I am not quite sure what time period the game is "really" supposed to be taking place in. Or it could just be an intentionally nebulous, surreal, 90's/2000's a e s t h e t i c mashup.
Yeah. imma need to keep my eye on this project. This looks freakin' awesome. Love how the faces and plates are censored. This aesthetic and artstyle is right up my alley.
I think all it needs is some small changes, such as increased variety in traffic vehicles, and having the Yen counter go up and down faster than it is shown. It’s nice to see a change in what we have been seeing for years
the FOV on foot is obnoxiously too close and the FOV while driving in third person goes back too far. the first person cam while driving is minorly flawed by the height. the player should see more of their steering wheel and less of the ceiling. the majority of the screen effects are unnecessary. the fundamentals of the game seem very good, I just hope it releases with a cleaner appearance or at least gives the option to adjust these things.
I agree with most of what you said, but the screen effects are perfect. They're necessary for the vibe the game is going for, which seems to be a dreamy surreal racing game set in the 90s. It fits
They are trying to mimic an aesthetic with the close on foot fov from the test drive games also a far pov gives way better sense of speed and there are probably multiple camera follow angles.
The Dev said it will have multiple maps with different types of races so I guess the goal of the game is to race to pay a set debt on each map, once you pay your debt on the highway map for example, you move on to the mountain pass map and so on. But the thing is in some footage we can see that sometimes there's someone who can remove all the debt if we lose a race
This is great! My only complaint is with the audio-the horns in particular. I don’t know how “realism” this game is trying to be, but my first reaction when someone blows by me on the highway isn’t to get on the horn. I think some people definitely would beep if they saw someone coming in advance (eg. driving the wrong way) but when outpacing traffic driving in the same direction I feel like it happens too frequently and would get a little annoying. Love the aesthetic of this game, look forward to updates!
definitely a couple things need work like how far back the camera goes in 3rd person, how long it takes for money to be changed, obvious normal work like different traffic cars and more npc animation, oil change needs some sort of simple animation or quicker load time, a more interesting loading screen than a time, and lastly i think, a proper navigation line or arrow that follows the road to destination and not just the destination. Wheels also seem very large on the npc cars. Now for the goods, super high quality cars and very unique mods like custom sub setup or tunnel hatch on that S13, the story is definitely going to be great, the shop is pretty nice, just gotta have a censor option for the profanity cause someone's gonna complain and ruin it for all of us
I kinda like that slow indie horror vibe. Maybe a bit too slow but that's still refreshing after all the big expensive flashy AAA racing games of today.
WOW What a 🐓 tease! Just when it was getting good. I have 0 expectations of this game ever coming out. I still hope and pray it will. This looks awsome.
nah this is actually sick af. The little details with blurring the plates of the raceable cars and blurring the faces of everyone is so classic. I can't wait to see this take off
This game have Gran Turismo 1/2 vibes with Need for Speed Underground aesthetic, I hope it grow more and more and the creator add a lot of nice gameplay features in it
It's a brilliant nod to games like Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero. The tone is very cool as well. The only things really messing with me is that it's awful dark on the roads which washes out the aesthetic, and the visual stretch that occurs at speed is a little too distorted. It breaks the immersion.
Ahhhh the good old days. Before they ruined the Beaufort Beautiful view at Tatsumi with the barriers. This game looks brilliant for anyone who can't afford to experience the real thing in Japan.
this game looks absolutley amazing everything from aesthetic to graphics to storyline holy shit this might be my new favourite racing game and i haven't even played it
This really has got to be one of the best gameplays I've ever watched im really excited and can't wait to try this game out keep up that awesome work man!!!
Looks like Tokyo extreme racer. It’s been my favourite racing game on Dreamcast and ps2. Also this game be on Xbox360 - Import tuner challenge named. Such a good franchise was….. Very sad that she died 😢
I usually play most of my games on a CRT for the old school feel. But a lot of old-school styled games don't take into account that a CRT can't display small text. If this game had an option to increase text size it would be very sick for CRT gaming

Txr, itc
Same thing
Eh, feels more like Juiced and Midnight Club in places than Shutokou Battle.
exactly
Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero cockpit vibes FTW!!!
Loving the style of this game. Seems to be all about the cars and defining yourself as a racer. I miss these games.

Seriously makes the VHS feel so much realer, can't wait for this!
the soundtrack for this sold me on it alone
This will literally be racing game of the year, everything even the aesthetic is just done right

I agree.
Took the words out of my mouth
Plus why does the rear view camera have to be placed inside the car while in 3rd-person?

I like how you get the delays reflection from the street lights to the gauge cluster. That’s a really awesome attention to detail
Man I want to play this so bad lol
Been waiting too long 😢

Left the bluebird app awhile ago, but didn't know Gum was _that_ big like bros in this hyped-ass game, so happy for the guy
As someone that does deliveries from evening to early morning in my GR86, I NEED this game. Something to play during the day lol

I'm glad to see more appreciation for 6th generation console art styles.
Never though that i will see a racing horror game in my life

i love the hud the way it shine when passing a light
this is different, love the dnb music throwback and late 90's graphics
This end 90's and early 2000's feeling. Damn!!! So good.
Damn this shit is fire 🔥
The ost is fire too 🔥
Grid's presentation, Shutokou Battle's BGM, NFSU+2 sound effects and racing...wow.
Tne soundtrack is amazing
right!?
This game is gonna change the gaming scene for sure

The game is really progressing I love it!
this is just simply beautiful to watch! i really hope when it releases that it is really good!
The music, The Y2K vibes sooo good 🔥
Completely forgot about this game. I cannot wait for it!! It’s a straight vibe and it’s all ready looking sick!
Does anybody else want a playlist full of all the music used in this game?
This. Now this is an interesting underground vibe game. Will keep this on my radar...
This is what we need!!!!! Better than NFS
omg the midnight club 3 remix cameo 1:27
10:13🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ahhhh the good old days. Before they ruined the Beaufort
Beautiful view at Tatsumi with the barriers.
This game looks brilliant for anyone who can't afford to experience the real thing in Japan.
Looks so cool, the atmosphere,UI, charming style, and the racing look so smooth.. Hope it'd be a full-fledged game
Who else was expecting the game to take an extremely sinister turn any moment with its eerie analog nature. Like a racing horror.
This seems like the Tokyo xtreme racer zero sequel I always wanted
Sannis Livisa 180RS... Yall are bravely creative!
Since license is hard to get and expensive, creativity comes to play
word can't describe how excited i am for this game
Never seen a game where you can explore every corner on foot and drive in japan every where in all your favourite jdm car.
This is like a mix of Kane & Lynch Dog Days and NFS Carbon in the best of ways, looking forward to seeing it develop.
Man im soo hyped for it to release
that ps2 look makes me feel nostalgic

spiritual successor to tokyo highway racer extreme, takes me back to sega dreamcast days
Yeah
This is where the mute protagonist concept shows its cracks
Would you immediately play along if a random guy called you looking for a sucker?
What?
@@aceambling7685a random guy calls you saying you owe him
Will you play along or just tell him off?
0:52. FOV could really be higher. but not bad
Finnaly, a nfs underground type racing game that truly captures the feel of night time racing. This is what weve all been waiting for !!
The level of details this game has is just mind blowing
Looks like Tokyo extreme racer. It’s been my favourite racing game on Dreamcast and ps2. Also this game be on Xbox360 - Import tuner challenge named. Such a good franchise was….. Very sad that she died 😢
Reminds me a lot to Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift game on PS2, this video bring me the nostalgia of that game
I dont like the stretching of the screen whilst accelerating and turning back to normal for shifting. It just looks so weird and artificial.

Heavy NFS underground 2 vibes from this but the story elements of most wanted.
Damn this game looks cool
What a vibe. Music is spot on.
The Real Loanshark Simulator
Man it looks like dark no hesi
This gives me some midnight club vibes. letsa goooooo
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS, SO MUCH NOSTALGIA FOR NFS UNDERGROUND 2, KEEP DEVELOPING THIS GAME, ITS ONE OF BEST GAMES I EVER SEEN!
Love the music from Dazegxd. Game looks sick.
Hermano, se ve buenísimo e innovador para estos años, ojalá pueda triunfar!
will this be on steam? and if so how much is the price will you think
I have no clue
this is insane. Makes me hyped up
The song choices are absolutely incredible 😏✌️
this is fucking awesome, this gives me nfs2 + wangan midnight vibes
the vibe is immaculate
Been following along the development of this game, the dev is awesome and I just wish I could’ve gotten a demo before
Seems to have some good lore just based on the 1st interaction. I hope it does.
🔥🔥🔥
Camera could use better work but everything else is perfect
This is like need for speed on cocaine. Fuck yea bruh.
You had me at Z31 taillights
adjustable traffic would be dope
Please make a vr version and bunch of cars so players can swim through
hell yuh exactly wat i was thinking
A true JDM game, blurring out the faces and number plates true Hoonigan style😮❤
BRO I WATCH THIS AFTERNOON AND THE INTRO SCARED ME WHATTT
LOL
Oh ending music hits different
I hope this releases on consoles as well
Is it just me or that's an NFSU2 arrow? A lovely touch
Reminds me of midnight club 3, looking forward to playing this.
Yo this looks like it's gonna be kickass.
nedaj HAS TO make music for this
Kino. Focus the game on the 90's early 2000's and you're set bro
this gave me nfs underground 1&2 vibes and nostalgia. gameplay wise looks great too, definitely gon have to give a try!
Ps2 graphics on gt4 and mw 2005 were actually good minus the motion blur and odd filters
this style is dope!
Yeahhhh man. Soundtrack smacks.
