where is the color? It looks as bland as the new Xenoblade (compared to the old Xenoblade that is)

Washed out grey/brown mess. T.T


The graphics look good the design totally does not tho

They should look at their old FAST game on Wii so they know how a scifi racer has to look like.

The  first game had brown levels too:

Who's to say FRN won't also have blue oceanic levels we haven't seen yet? ;)

The first screen is obviously the whole game.

I wouldn't doubt it - Shin'en makes some of the nicest-looking titles on whatever hardware they support. They're shooting for 60 fps, but they're also pushing textures as well. Can't wait to see more.

I just wish someone at Shin'en would learn how to come up with a good name.

FAST Racing Neo?
Art of Balance?
Nano Assault Neo?

(Although Nano Assault is a cool title, I will admit. But it looks to be by accident rather than design)

Looks very good for a team of that size.

Not the screenshot I'd use to entice people into my game though. Not very exciting.

lol, no vehicles in the first screenshot, they're trolling.

The environments don't matter that much, but they do look good.

I can feel the adrenaline rushing through my veins already!

Thats nowhere near the same kind of look tho.

The Wiiu shot is washed out desaturated-brown/blue compared to the mostly popping colors of the Wii game. Turbine Canyon is probably the worst looking stage on Wii but even that screams "COLOR!" compared to FRN's new screenshot.

The screenshot killed the little hype I had for the game. I mean I am sure it has better looking levels (from its art direction they most certainly wont be alot better tho since all of it will be washed out to have a consistent art direction) it still is bad to chose the worst possible image to release to the public.

This image made me hyped since they said this car is an in-game model. And obviously im a sucker for colors!


But I also hate the "fog overlay" on the top 30% of the screen in vanquish the bloom in WindWaker HD and that almost all anime are washed out today so whatever :)

Btw the Wii screenshot works because orange/yellow + blue is a famous and visually pleasing color combination

Why are some of you complaining about the colors? One of the few things that we can learn from that screenshot is that, unlike the Wii game, they have tried a more realistic approach with the WiiU one.

Anyway, I'll hold my opinion until we see it in motion with actual gameplay.
