I would assume the footage wasn't from Switch but this looks pretty good! I need a good racing sim on Switch every now and then. Had good fun with GRID Autosport. Feral did a pretty good job with that port.
I'm curious about how it performs though.
It's not Need for Speed so I don't expect much from it but it does look alright.
"...whizzes onto Switch..."
There's something about reading that line in the title of the article and in the first paragraph that just doesn't quite make me think about race cars
Hey that ain't Keanu Reeves on a bus
Actually that's fine because Speed 2 sucked
@asdf0987 Fast RMX and Crash Team Racing are both pretty up there. In fact I actually consider Crash slightly better tbh
Looks aight. Just aight.
Might throw some notes down on it
The same devs made that Super Street game. So don't get tooooo excited. But I will get it anyway. The Switch is still lacking on the racing department even though EA came to rescue.
Anyone who’s seen Father Ted will know speed 3 is the one with the milk float.
The game looks very promising. I like the idea of a more realistic simulation. Will wait for the review.
@asdf0987 Mario Kart 8 is more Battle Royale on 4 wheels than a racing game. Lovely graphics and buttery smooth frame rates - but deffinately not a racing game where you can win in the conventional sense.
@TheFrenchiestFry If they hadn't patched in microtransactions I'd be considering it much more than I am now, unfortunately, but it isn't off my radar
@PikaPhantom Honestly I'm blown away Activision haven't patched them into Crash 4 as of yet. The game underneath all the dumb corporate practices is genuinely amazing which makes it even sadder.
I’ll wait for a review to come out before I purchase. However Switch is lacking a good Formula 1 racing sim. A decent (preferably licensed) F1 sim would have my money.
"Racing sim" and then footage of cars exploding for a minute straight. Hmm.
Racing games are my thing, so I'll at least follow this one. Would need a review first though. However, it has some tough competition for my cash with Hot Shots Racing on sale at the moment.
One thing I do like about it is the presentation, with the explosions and tyres rolling around everywhere. And the rock music. Reminds me of the PC game Crashday. Doesn't take itself too seriously but is a good, solid game.
Review required for me.
I thought this read "Speed Racer 3" for a second!
I don't know. Something feels fishy about this game. No Switch footage yet, not gonna purchase right away
NL: "If you're in the market for a realistic racing game, then you might want to check out Speed 3: Grand Prix."
Game Trailer: No less than a dozen explosions, F1 style cars racing on city streets and highways, and self described as "explosive arcade action."
Yes, NL, clearly this is the REALISTIC racing sim we've all been waiting for.
Only 1v1multiplayer
@Ratchet916 My thoughts too. It looks pretty 'arcade' to me. Looks a bit cheap, but at the same time the explosions and tyres rolling do make it look a bit more fun than your average circuit racer. I'll wait for reviews, as I'll also wait for Codemasters to release an F1 game on Switch already.
Really interested in this one... I think I will buy this title.
I really need to "finish" Grid auto sport. I am about 30 hours into the campaign mode and I really like it. I know I could play another 30 hours easily. Except--all those other games that I play.
I actually booted it up recently and loved it. I put Asphalt on my wish list, but again, lack of time.
