I would love it if they could remaster this one. Modern graphics and controls, but with 120fps? Take my money! I loved this game and spent hours fiddling with the different pods. The customization was nuts, especially for the time!

Would love to see the arcade version be ported to console or PC 😑 never got to play it because no one had it around me...

You say that, but do you really want to see your memories of an awesome game be perverted by a microtransaction ridden, pay-per-boost wreck of a game, with purchasable pods and racers?

i love fantasy racers, Red Out was the best title in recent years imo. Im anxiously awaiting a new generation of Wipeout.

As long as they fixed the network code and allowed more than one person to use the same racer (or ban certain racers). There were certain racers that were a guaranteed win if you had two functional brain cells.

A modern pod racing game? Nah, just thinking about the crazy amount of micro transactions that would have makes me cringe.

You can spend very little money and get exactly that podracing game on modern platforms  🤣

Someone made an Unreal demo of this game remastered i think but it was very simplistic, i would love a full on game with new graphics and more customisation etc

What you want is to have that feeling again of playing this as a kid, a new pod racing game won’t give you that.

First FAST game my pc at the time ran and oh.. I ran. Good variety of tracks. And (I might be wrong) it didn't cheat by NPC no reason catchup like some racing games. Maybe I just slayed back in the day.

I don't have fond memories of this game but your post title is making me think I should give it another shot. Maybe I was just bad at it as a kid.

Maaaaan I fucking loved this game. I loved that you could “repair” your engines on the fly if you were hitting the corners too hard. everything was SO damn fast paced. Loved it. I’d play it right now if I had my n64

So many old Star Wars games that need a remaster… I remember playing almost exclusively Star Wars games in the 2000s as a kid.

The original was multiplatform, at the very least. I remember playing it on PC when it came out, and it was the exact same game, just with a better frame rate and draw distance, as well as music throughout the race instead of just the final lap. Otherwise the exact same game.

I remember when that one guy made a remake of the first track in unreal engine 3 I think and it was pretty sick. Not sure if you could still find it anywhere though, it immediately got shut down by the mouse of course.

Oh hell yeah, a big multiplayer one where you can upgrade and customize your own pod racer would be fucking litty

JonS90_ t1_jebz1xf wrote

I honestly have thought for years that a game about how podracing was forced underground after the empire outlawed it would slap so fucking hard.

Building your own pods and modding them and having tracks that are grungey swamps or tighter back streets of slum towns would be great.

Hell even have it as a cross-league racing game with speeder bikes and people riding single pods like Rey did in Force Awakens. Would be great.

💯 percent!! Redout is an amazing game, although the controls are very touchy.

The sense of speed and level variety are insane. I also agree with the thoughts of someone else: they would micro trans thus game to hell and back.

I’m guessing the kinds of people who say “I’d spend SO much money on X game!” Are the type of people who enjoy spending money on microtransactions.

I’d spend like $20 on buying a new pod racing game, but i have no desire to spend thousands of $ pimping my pod with gold drip lol. But some people like that kinda thing. But I don’t think anyone likes p2w lol, at least I haven’t seen anyone say that ever.

In 1999 a very young me go with my cousin in his friend's house and saw a very nice looking PC, in that time the "gamer" doesn't have RGB lol, i saw the very nice looking action figures and my cousin's friend was playing THIS game, in that moment i saw the most amazing thing i ever did in my life, that is the life lasting moment.

Can you imagine a modern adaptation of this game, in Unreal Engine, pod racer cosmetic customization, across a diverse array of planets, online multiplayer, tons of new on track power ups and challenges, crazy vehicle weapons, traps, and destruction, dynamic maps that change as you race on them... it could be amazing.

this would be awesome.

but how many people would complain about the PodPass, and the cost of skins per podracer? People would flip out and complain about all those things that they'd put in the game to make money.

There was an arcade when I was a young kid that had a pod racing game. The feeling of pulling the left and right sticks back to turn, or pulling both back and shoving them forward to boost was the coolest thing ever

Remember the arcade machine for this game. It was awesome!

llubdr t1_jedmkmn wrote

New game yes please - mega cost no thanks.

Give us a custom map builder and multiple environments, fully customisable pods, day/night cycles, arcade and "realistic" mode (tune the engines mid race for tight corners or shortcuts?), warehouse of parts to find and buy, a story mode with interesting and diverse characters, droids, maybe things like sand worms mid race or a form of sabotage but implementation needs care there.

As long as they can capture the speed and control of the original it could work. Can't see it being too popular of an (online) game long term so maybe they'll be inclined to add microtransactions... lets hope that if they would it'll be limited and don't take away from the game.

Playing the arcade version of this game was so surreal. I'll never forget sitting in the the podracer chair and feeling fully immersed.

don't forget fans doing their own total conversion mods for games like Jedi Knight Jedi Academy. Movie Duels 2 or, when it was a thing, Knights of the Force come to mind basically offering every bigger duel atleast and even some other sequences like the battle of geonosis.

but EA also stopped being all about Microtransactions in their recent SW games. Jedi Fallen Order had none and i'm sure Survivor will also have none. Not to mention they removed the entire lootbox system from SWBF2 so its a great and fun game!

Yeah but those are single player gamers. The original racing game was also single player/split screen but if they would make a remake it would probably have multiplayer added. Like what activision did with Crash team racing

yes you would pay a lot of money because of all the micro transactions and season passes and loot boxes the remake would have, not to mention less features than the original for some reason

Well since we wont see one for another 10 Years, id suggest Readout. It's not very forgiving racer, so if taking one spot to tight and hitting the wall causing you to lose isn't your thing... avoid.
