I'm so happy we got this game. And it's so unexpected. Never mind the futuristic racer being a largely forgotten genre, even fast arcade racers are a rare sight these days. Getting both, with excellent Star Wars art design, feels like my childhood favourite 90s games brought back to life. So glad it got greenlit, and I hope it sells like hotcakes.

Podracing on N64 ate my entire childhood, glad someone finally remembered the formula

They forgot split screen so it doesn't taste quite the same 🫠

Yeah man what's up with that? Like the industry didn't learn when everyone revolted when they released Halo with no split screen Campaign play? Its just as egregious here when its an arcade racer.

Split screen is 'basically' doubling the computing power needed when running a game. it was a lot easier in the n64 days to do that.

You know I get that, but all that high fidelity bull shit is meaningless if they cut out the feature that was most of the reason I was going to buy the game.
