Red - blocking visuals of opponents / obstacles Green - actually relevant to gameplay

Back in the day this would be an additional gamemode in a game, now it's a full game about podracing that will be dead in 5 months...what a shit industry gaming is now.

As someone who’s never played the games but have seen the movies, what are the purple/pink beams doing?

That perspective is all wrong. You can't see the sticks or windshield. The pods should be way out in front on cables. This is more like under the chassis perspective. The pods take up so much screen real estate.

1st Person would be in the cockpit, not hovering somewhere between the pods.

HOLY FUCK This is a true and proper spiritual successor to Episode I Racer. Nobody's gonna be playing the campaign or the speeder races when online podracing is available. Online multiplayer for this game is going to be insane. I can't wait

First person sounds great until the engines take up over 60% of the screen. Hoping 3rd person view is also an option

The UI is very ugly. They should change the font or make some changes.

Ohh I wish I could get early access to implement head controlled podracing.

I put a gyro in mouth and mapped it the left analog stick of my XBOX controller.

I hope this is supports ultra wide gaming!

I would rather be in the pilot seat, graphics look fine but I want to be the pilot not the pod

I'll be waiting on the youtube video of someone with the time and money to mod the original Deluxe Pod Racer Arcade to play this game.

This game was so fun. The only thing that could have made it better is VR.

You know my new sim rig was made for this!

It's weird because, like, this would not be your first-person POV if you were podracing. Woudn't you see the front end of your cockpit and the control cables?

is this actually first person? you're so close to the engines that they're blocking so much peripheral vision, surely your pod should be further back + elevated to actually have a real field of view over the engines?

I played this non-stop when it first came out. Multiplayer was the bomb. So glad this is getting a reboot.
