A glimpse at the PRE-PRODUCTION, 'visual and early gameplay' treatment for Formula Fusion. (formally known as Slam Jet - branding in the process of being changed). Not representative of final gameplay.
WHERE'S MY DESIGNERS REPUBLIC?
As of now doesnt look great, and I say that as a fan of Wipeout...just very very early looking right now
That's just not true. WipEout has always been the more popular series, personal preference aside.Frankly, F-Zero is the only futuristic racer that will get attention from most gamers. It's time, Nintendo. 30 players online or forget it.
I don't like how the ships seem to skid sideways when turning... Or I guess it just looks like drifting. But Wipeout has typically been just about the polar opposite of drifting for me that it looks weird
That's just not true. WipEout has always been the more popular series, personal preference aside.
"Our game is Formula Fusion...though we're thinking of changing the name."Just so people are aware, I will just quote what is written on the Youtube page.
They probably haven't even decided on what the game is actually going to be yet.
Obviously. But when WipEout did exist it was much bigger than F-Zero. It was a huge hit on PS1 and a moderate success for the next two generations, as opposed to a moderate success on N64 and a huge flop on GameCube.Apart from those years when wipe out didn't exist
Still playing WE:HD on PS3 these days.
It looks good, but not as good as WipEout :/
I thought the Firesprite guys were the Wipeout guys. I guess studio liverpool has spawned many studios, all with Wipeout heritage.
Frankly, F-Zero is the only futuristic racer that will get attention from most gamers. It's time, Nintendo. 30 players online, Force Feedback wheel support, and Oculus Rift support or forget it.
Looks slow and physics on cars look very off. If they fix that they got a crazy good game on their hands.
R8 Games Limited said:Thanks for the comments guys (and gurls). It 'is' PRE-PRODUCTION and it was created to trigger feedback from the Wipeout communities (although we want to create a game that is very much our own IP and not living in the shadow of Wipeout). Perhaps it was a little too early to release this into the general communities - but its encouraging that the crits are things we are working on and we are very much aware of. Best R8 Team. 
Yay! That's good to hear.From the Youtube comments
