Each week of late I appear to pop up right here with one other new arcade racer to speak about, and effectively, I would not need to break the streak. This week’s new hotness is Parking Storage Rally Circuit, which is about powersliding round multi-storey automotive parks and is designed to seem like a misplaced Sega Saturn recreation. It now has a launch date: September twentieth.
Chunky polygons? Test. Halftone results to make these pixels pop? Yep. Anti-aliasing? No method.
Set in a future the place American parking garages have been, for some purpose, become race programs, you drift round corners and chain collectively “Mario Kart-style boosts” to win races and time trials. There are 8 vehicles to unlock, three automotive courses of accelerating problem to drive, and on-line leaderboards to climb.
It is also bought on-line multiplayer for as much as 8 gamers. Most of those arcade racers lack that, favouring split-screen if something, so for that purpose alone I will give Parking Storage a shot.
Parking Storage Rally Circuit is principally the work of indie dev Walaber, a reputation that triggered a kind of cerebral itch after I heard it. That is as a result of he was accountable for a variety of beloved early physics video games within the ’00s, equivalent to JellyCar and Trampoline. Walaber’s personal web site has a history page that runs down some of his old work.
My solely downside with the look of Parking Storage Rally Circuit thus far is that powersliding round parking garages provides me horrible flashbacks to making an attempt to cross the tutorial in Driver one the PSone. Youngsters today do not know the horrible disgrace and anger of renting a recreation from the video retailer for 2 days together with your pocket cash and spending the entire time just trying to get to the first mission.
I am positive Parking Storage Rally Circuit will not do me soiled like that. It’s going to be out on Steam in two weeks.
