Video: Gear.Club Unlimited Gets New Trailer And Altered Release Date

I heard that they're charging €30-40 for this on Switch, can't remember the exact price. Wasn't it free on mobile? I'll do a check for the price.

Edit: $45

Insane!

in the trailer says "available november 21"

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Yes it was and they better be making a lot of improvements and adding more content to justify that price point.

I mean it does look good and possible the best looking racer on a Nintendo system ever. Hoping they get this right as I need a good SIM racer!

As long as it runs at 60 fps and is fun in single player I'm interested. I hope 2 player also runs at 60. I wish everyone would cut polygons and texture maps way down to get 60 fps in 4 player splitscreen modes!

Besides the price tag. What's the difference between the switch version and the free one on Google play?
I just played it and then uninstalled it from my Motorola pure x 2 phone. Hell no!
It's a ps2 game. It controls well which is good, but looks like crap.

With that price I hope it has a lot of contents

@SLIGEACH_EIRE go and download it on mobile. Tell me how far you get without paying when it comes having Access to all cars and tracks.

I am not saying it's worth £45 by any means as haven't seen reviews yet.

The argument that it's free on mobile is so flawed though.

Does anyone know if you can put vinyl on the car? It briefly showed it in one clip but I have not seen much else other than racing. For me I want more customization.

I would prefer a Cruis'n style game... or Burnout WITH Crash Mode!

Love racing, love cars, but there’s no way I’m buying this mobile game port. It’s free on mobile and is rubbish.

Looks neat.

Is it just me, or do the trees look like they have some dimensions and not like paper anymore? At any rate, it’s looking pretty good from visual standpoint, but I have never been one for realistic racing simulators, and it’s not like I have a shortage of things to play.

My dollars are looking for a new home and this game may just be that but before I do here's two middle fingers to the piece of crap that is Project CARS.

(Mod note: please be more careful with your use of images)

looks cool. Hope digital is cheaper than physical

Are these people clogging November with games on purpose?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE what's cheaper, $45 or "free on mobile"? You'd think most people would know the answer by the late 2010s.

@Captain_Toad Better to release in November. Right in the middle of the holiday shopping season which is good for getting the early adopters, impulse buyers and gives enough leeway to hopefully accommodate stock for the "Oh wait the holiday my family celebrates is TOMORROW, I need a game" people...I hate those people.

Also, happy to see your name sake getting lost/"exploring" in Mario Odyssey.

@Ryu_Niiyama Heh, Fair point.

No in-car views?

I've sunk 500+ hours into Real Racing 3 on mobile (and not spent a penny) so I have my fingers crossed for this. The cars don't look hugely brilliant though, in the video.

Looks gorgeous and enjoyed Test Drive Unlimited from these guys, may well check it out!

Really hoping this is a solid game. Even though I already have way too many racing games to play this holiday season, looking forward to a racing game on the switch.

The fact that it was designed for mobile puts me off straight away as I've never played a good mobile game. I'll wait for reviews but I can't see me buying this and hopefully we'll get a racing game actually built for Switch

Definitely interested, I’ll probably pick it up when it comes out if it gets good reviews.

This is just some crappy phone game. I would buy a decent racer developed on the Switch though. Ports of mobile games will never get my cash.

'The first car racing game on Switch' ... besides Cars 3: Driven to Win

I don't think it looks too bad to be honest. If it were about £10-15 on the eShop I'd give it a go.

@Davidiam007 From what I gather, they re-did the graphics for the Switch and all the in-app purchases from the mobile phone have been eliminated.
So, basically, you will get a better looking game that doesn't have in-app transactions.
TBH, the game looks very good and for what I played on the mobile phone I quite enjoyed it.
However, I will wait for the reviews first to check if it's worth the money.
The devs have a lot of experience with racing games so I guess the game will be good.

@thesilverbrick It’s not a realistic sim, it’s a arcade game 😉

are the cars real manufactures like Ferrari, Lamborghini? or are they just cars that resemble real ones

@ValhallaOutcast Real licensed cars.

I wish this was $19.99.... I really want a nice racer (other than the amazing Mario Kart of course) but $40 is just too high for what I am afraid we will get.

Honestly, I don't understand why everyone is condemning this before they've even played it or read a proper review just because it started out as a mobile game. From the looks of it, the game has been completely retooled to be full fledged console game. From what I understand, they've turned up the graphics, they've obviously redone the input system to accommodate physical controls, and they've added a whole lot of content. Of coarse the "free-2-play" mobile version was crap, most mobile games are. If these guys can turn what they have into a full on console sim, I really don't see any reason not to give it a fair shake.

Gamestop (US) has the retail exclusive and has it available for pre-order for $49.99 for 11/21 release.

I love racing games, and this one looks like an updated version of Roadsters (N64), which is fine by me. $50 retail is a bit steep, but Christmas is coming . . . .

@Racthet916 Because it’s still the same game, just without micro transactions. It will play exactly the same, the racing is boring as the ai and driving model is rubbish.

@Hughesy While it's obviously the same game at it's core, I think it should be noted that the AI was likely tuned to cater to the limitations of touchscreen/accelerometer controls. If it truly ends up being the same game minus the paywall, I won't be giving it a go either. However, if the developer has reworked the driving model and AI to be more in line with console expectations, I see no reason to overlook it just because of it's roots.

I’m so excited! Def getting the physical one.

This will be a purchase based on the reviews for me I think. It will have to be silky smooth. It would be good if it had real world physics in terms of collisions.
Not keen on realistic looking driving sims where you can collide with everything and anything and not pay the consequences.

@Hughesy Oh, I see. you’ll have to forgive me. The most realistic racing games I tend to play are Mario Kart and F-Zero, haha. To me, anything with a real world car seems like a realistic racing sim.

If the finished game really looks and is playable like in that trailer then I will buy it for sure: Wonderful trailer!😃
And does anyone know when a racing simulation game was on a Nintendo console? And if yes: Which one, which system?
I really don't know...

@SLIGEACH_EIRE It's a free-to-start game on mobile. It is not FREE. I repeat it is not FREE.
Δεν είναι ΔΩΡΕΑΝ (wrote it in Greek too, in case you don't understand English)

@Grauz That's for the US. It's had its release date there moved forward.

I understand that this game only allows a behind car (not in car) view? That's a shame, I much prefer in-car/cockpit view with these kind of racers

@admwllms Jump to 1:14 in the video, there appears to be a hood-cam type view. Not the same as in-car, but certainly a better option if you don't like behind-car views.

@Racthet916 oh great yeah thanks for the heads up, that's definitely good news and makes me a lot more interested in the game.

I know it's picky of me but other than Mario Kart I'm really not a fan of behind the car view in racers.

@tourjeff
I thought it played well too, but I personally found the textures too bland even for a racer.
Though, I have to admit the physics did feel good from what I played.
I'll keep an open mind and eye on it.

@MonkiPlays temporary exclusive

@Switcher Need for Speed was on Wii U

GameSpot preview

https://youtu.be/10eXywPFsBg

Wow looks decent! And hooray more boring 60FPS chat.

@Hughesy Gear.Club unlimited on the switch looks to be way ahead of iOS Version. I don’t think its a mobile port, looks like it’s a entirely new game for the switch that is from the same franchise than the mobile game. If there was a forza or Gran Turismo Mobile game that wouldn’t mean that console version would be the same as mobile.

Wow, this game looks legit. Like, full $60 release legit. Certainly $40 worthy. Which, the physical version is like $5 or $10 more than that- a reasonable tax in order to get a physical version on cartridge.

But really, I'm impressed with how great this game looks. The graphics look terrific and the arcadey gameplay is in line with Forza Horizon series.

Games like this are really filling a void on Switch- I want a game like Forza Horizon to play on a handheld. This might not be quite as good but it certainly looks respectable enough.

@electrolite77
Don't remember that. Was it good?
Thanks.😃
@derrin
Ah...yes, I remember. Didn't get it and forgot about it.
Did you play it?
Thanks.😃

Looks cool. So many games coming out, this may have to wait though unfortunately.

@holygeez03
Me too, however, really I miss games how classics (90's) Need For Speed (upsi, yes, I repeated this several times before), where those games were mix of arcade with sim racing (yeah, more arcade, but still with some of sim.), original music (no license music, and really for racing games...) and real challenge (traffic, police and enviroment tracks) plus many options for single player and with great "replay value"

i just noticed the other day that cars in rallies do drift in real life. that was a revelation.

No online?

@Switcher yes i really loved that game. They did a great job on it, it looked and played really good.

@duhsoares21 The graphics are better, that doesn’t make it a better game...

@Ervex_109 Because it’s literally the same game, not sure how that’s hard to grasp, if it was a different game it wouldn’t have the same content, same name and same gameplay.

@thesilverbrick no worries, sorry if came off as being snobbish, but as a car/racing enthusiast I thought I’d correct you🙂

@Spoony_Tech That acclaim should probably go to NFS Most Wanted on Wii U.

I'll wait for reviews but what I can say is this at least seems like a better overall product than Gran Turismo Sport, and I'm a big PlayStation fan and used to love the GT series until recently.

@Hughesy I never took your comment as snobbish. I enjoy being enlightened. No worries.

@brutalpanda That game crossed my mind while I was typing. Still this one could surpass it and it can and should but we shall see in time. Acually 3 weeks lol

@carlos82 it is built for the switch. Think of it as a deluxe. 400 races on 200 tracks. That is a lot more than a mere mobile game.

@Racthet916 Look what they all did to the Rabbids game, that thing was dead in the water before it was even given a chance to swim.

Real wise for them to address a big gaping hole in the Switch library...Racing Games! Knowing this, perhaps they can be a bit bold and charge a higher price then most would agree with. But besides MK8 deluxe there’s literally nothing else out there on Switch. Trailer looks great. I also feel Eden is a solid studio with a good reputation and so I have hopes that this will be a solid game! If it is, then they deserve good sales for filling a huge void! On my radar!!

Is this actually going to be any good?

If they give us a demo then I can make a better decision. But based off playing the mobile version, it's a truly and amazingly and beautifuly crafted work of arse.

@Lord It will have online.

@bluedogrulez
Glad someone remembers Roadsters! I liked that game at the time.

if your paying for the game not to have micro transactions I don't see why anyone would complain and theres more content obviously including the coop race

Game looks like a total retro through back to the classic Need 4 Speed games of PSX and PS2 which I am totally for. It's got 200 tracks, 400 + events, a cool car customizing shop, the only thing it's lacking is number of cars, only has around 30, hopefully some more will be added via DLC.

People need to understand the difference between the mobile game and this. In the mobile, which many people loved, you had to spend a lot of money to really unlock things. For $40 bucks you get the whole game open from the start, with no more money required, you know, like a REAL game. So for any one to ask "why is the mobile free and not this", you really have no clue what your talking about, as the mobile version is far from free.

On top of that, this features 4 player split screen multiplayer, improved graphics, no micro transactions. This is not the best looking racing game on earth, it did start out as a mobile game, so the environments are a bit on the lower polygon side, but they look nice, and have a retro feel to them. Also like the fact that this is track/point to point races like the classic Need 4 Speeds. Over all its a nice arcade racer that looks nice and is a great through back to the classic racers of the past. Totally happy it's released date got pushed up as well.

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME IF THERES MANUAL SHIFTING IN THIS GAME?!
