Defunct Games reviews Xenon Racer by 3DClouds.it, available March 26 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PC.
While it doesn't do much to innovate on the formula, Xenon Racer is a well-crafted racing game with gorgeous levels, a deep campaign and a nice variety of multiplayer modes. Unfortunately, the high-speed action is marred by inconsistent A.I. and the repetition of seeing the same few stages ad nauseum, but it gets a whole lot more right than it gets wrong. If you've been waiting for Namco to resurrect Ridge Racer, then Xenon Racer is a great alternative as you wait.

IRE I was going to say top gear so no reason to muck up the comment section. Great games, but as the other commenter was trying to say here, horizon Chase turbo is essentially top gear so check it out if you haven't already. SNES, the good ol days, but now I'm a PS guy. I'm sure it's in the list, f zero would be nice too, but I'm assuming it would go to Nintendo.

Sonic Riders needs a comeback even if the third installment is left behind as a footnote in history. the main thing that was great about Sonic Riders was the fact that Sega took inspiration from the Back to the Future movie trilogy in regards to using Hoverboards as a racing vehicle while using Sonic characters as the racers.

@Delroy61 5 лет назад

Of course you would say that. Back in the PS2 era and part of the PS3 days, fun (60fps) games like these were always played. Then everyone wanted lame open world sim-cade games like The Crew, Forza Horizon, and Need4Speed. Fast Cars. Closed Tracks. Bright explosive colors! No "karts". Don't worry though. The OG Burnout devs are pumpin out the new "Dangerous Driving" game. Sooooooo hype!

@craig2web 5 лет назад

@@Delroy61 "Of course you would say that." Do we know each other? I'm not saying games like these can't be fun (for a little while), but there are already a good number of these available for download at pretty low prices. And they're usually pretty limited in content, so they tend to get old pretty quickly. Not sure why you think open world games are "lame", but to each his or her own.

@@craig2web Exactly. The market has shrunk, and all that's mainstream are those non "bigger budget, more content" downloadable games.

@DefunctGames 11 дней назад

$1.50 is an absolute STEAL for this game. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's not perfect (and I strongly recommend even the most die-hard racing fan shift the difficulty to easy to have a good time), but I've spent more than $1.50 on a bottle of water.

@Lasukie 5 лет назад

Sega GT, Jet Moto, WipeOut, Destruction Derby and Auto Modellista. Especially Auto Modellista. All of these require reboots and/or remakes.

There's a Wipeout game for the PS4. It's basically remakes of three previous games but they've all been enhanced for the new hardware and the game can be played in VR. It'd be nice to get an all-new Wipeout game at some point, but the series hasn't been forgotten.

This sounds like almost-everything I want from a racing game. $50 price tag or no, this is pretty much a must-play for me - I'll definitely be nabbing this when it releases on PS4! Btw, Cyril, have you played RISE: Race the Future? It's VD-Dev's upcoming arcade racer that's currently on Steam Early Access. They're one of those studios like Shin'En who, if people know them at all, they know them for creating a lot of technical marvels on weak Nintendo hardware over the years, like the fully 3D GBA titles Driv3r and Asterix & Obelisk XXL, as well as the 3DS' Gears of War knockoff, Ironfall. Been meaning to give that a whirl for the same reason you were looking forward to this, and without knowing when games like Racing Apex or Drift Stage will actually land, it pretty much could be the next "Big" Arcade Racing release by default for people actively looking for arcade racers. Whenever it exits Early Access, at least.

@melvinblackburn195 5 лет назад

I'm with you on Project Gotham Racing, and while I prefer the best of arcade style racing, those annual Forza games do a ton to satisfy the classic sports car enthusiast who isn't an auction high roller or Jay Leno. I'll never get to see or drive some of those cars in my lifetime, so I appreciate the detail and realism. Another great review. I'm going to eventually give Zenon Racer a shot.

@DefunctGames 5 лет назад

Agreed on all points. I certainly didn't want it to sound like I was hating on Forza, because I genuinely love most of those games. I'm a big fan of both the simulators and the Horizon series. If anything, my issue is the annual release schedule. I know they are alternating between the main series and Horizon, but it still frustrates me that we're not seeing something else in between. It's especially bad in recent years, where Microsoft has largely relied on Forza for their holiday season sales. I would probably be a little more into the series if they took a year off in order to give us a new Project Gotham Racing or even an original racing franchise.

With some exceptions every now and then like the sonic racing games, but these are few and far between.

Based on the sales of the last few Need for Speed games (and the fact that Electronic Arts hasn't announced a new installment), I'm not even sure that name is enough to sell units. I agree, $50 is a bit high. I think $30 would be a lot more fair, but I'm sure it will drop to that price in a sale in no time.

Then remove the cost to produce (5 for a cd or 11 for a switch cartridge) then pay the platform holder their cut and split the rest with your publisher......not much left:) Of course the digital model is much different and cuts out a lot of middle men.

@teddym2808 5 лет назад

@@paulbarnes9490 Yeah i REALLY hate on the switch.. I have 200 digital games and 41 physical games for my switch.. I don't support nintendo at ALL lol. I was just making an actual factual point. The PS4 is a lot more powerful than the switch.. There is no denying this and I am surprised you would think otherwise. A little research will answer all your questions. The switch is barely more powerful than PS3/Xbox 360.

@paulbarnes9490 5 лет назад

@@teddym2808 Sorry but I don't care how powerful the ps4 is as it's games library is underwhelming. I barely use my ps4 anymore which explains why it's covered in so much dust.I never buy consoles for power anymore as it's the games library that makes a console great not power.Ps4 best games can be played elsewhere so I can't see the point that of the ps4.The biggest disappointment for me is the exclusives on ps4 are a huge let down. Previous Sony consoles were way better like the ps2 which I think is easily Sony"s best console.Also the ps4 controller is bloody awful i hate it.i don't know what Sony was thinking when they made that trash.

@teddym2808 5 лет назад

Um.. I chose the switch too.. it ended up costing me more than a PS4 pro by the time I got all the accessories/controllers. So, I'm with you. I am talking only about THIS game in THIS video... the PS4 should be able to RUN this game much smoother than switch,@@paulbarnes9490

@paulbarnes9490 5 лет назад

@@teddym2808 I don't really like the ps4 as it's boring like the xbox 1 to me. At least nintendo is trying to do something different to make things interesting with the switch. As for how games run on the switch well that can be sorted out with better optimisation.I don't care about slight downgrades as I'm not a graphics whore,as long as the game runs fine that's ok.I noticed some ps4 games that are 1080p run like crap because the console can't handle it.But the graphics whores don't listen,to be honest i don't mind lower resolution if it means the game is actually playable.I agree with you that xenon racer on ps4 should run smoother but I think it's due to poor optimisation. Also the developer is an indie developer so will they have the funds to improve the game in the near future I don't know.

@alopexau 5 лет назад

Environments bursting with personality? I know you're desperate for a return to arcade racing, and so am I, but I'm not SO desperate that I think this game is anything more than a garish, garbled visual mess with mediocre gameplay that can't even run at a stable framerate on more than adequate hardware. I definitely think you're being lenient due to sheer genre starvation, this is definitely a game to look back on as being 'filler' material at best if this genre ever actually revives.

@Delroy61 5 лет назад

That's cold man. Especially since this game had the balls to actually include a FINISH LINE! Unlike OnRush...which was supposed to be the next best thing, but they denied actual "racing" mechanics.....??? Not cool. Listen, we're clawing our way back up man, and we need to support these titles. I've seen quite a few arcade racers over the past 2 years, and most of them were "meh". Xenon Racer actually put in some work, and with Dangerous Driving right behind it?? (OG Burnout devs) things are starting to look good! Look at what's holding the mantle of arcade racing! FORZA HORIZON 3. Terrible. It's a sim-cade, "driving game" at best.

@DefunctGames 5 лет назад

I really like the world they created in Xenon. You can come up with reasons why I liked the game, but I think the levels are fantastic and look great.

@alopexau 5 лет назад

That's just it, NOONE has made a good arcade racer in generations, the closest we've had are the NFS and Burnout Paradise games by Criterion, but no, those don't count because an open-world with a GPS does not do the same job as carefully crafted tracks. I still think this game is only mediocre at best, but we've been so utterly starved of games that mediocre starts to look good. This game can't even run at a solid framerate on a PS4, it's constantly jittering (and the less said about the recent Switch version the better). Either the engine is hideously unoptimized or a lot of important staff from Criterion never made it over because nothing about this game shows that studio's level of quality. @@Delroy61
