This has only happened to me very rarely. And I don't know if they patched it, but the 3DS version has/had a glitch where enemies could spawn under you and insta-kill you. Difficulty also felt more fair in the Wii U sequel, I found.


They patched the under-belly spawns out, yes, but I get very varied start-off levels very regularly. Its just a luck thing and, honestly, I think they should just let you at least start the game with a load-out but that may make it too simplistic.

Nobody budgets millions of dollars for Wii U ports. I seem to remember reading Ubisoft saying Wii U ports of AAA games cost around 1m euros. Minute compared to the budgets allocated for other versions.

Ah thanks. I knew I read that somewhere.

For better or for worse, Shin'en's games tend to be quite old school in their gameplay sensibilities. (Stiff difficulty, lives, probability-based item drops, etc)

I for one quite like this approach; their games remind me of the better N64/PS1 games, (games like F Zero X, WipeOut, Mario 64, etc) just with modern graphics and 60fps. And since almost nobody else makes games like these anymore, I find it appealing.

Jeez that looks Epic. This might be the first pure racing game I buy in years.

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




Because I know of that trick, when movies do it i find it more generic than pleasing. Knowing tropes will ruin your life indeed. :(

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.

This is how a sci-fi racer looks like:

Also: is it coming to PS4 like other Shin’en games?     http://playeressence.com/shinen-officially-announces-nano-assault-neo-for-the-ps4-runs-in-1080p-60fps-out-in-2014/


Games can look more than one way you know.
