Posted September 27, 2015 Played some FAST this weekend. I'd it me or is too hard? The cars you start with are slow and they just overtake you all the time, unless I'm missing something. I can have perfect laps but still fall behind.... Yeah, it is really tough! The rubber banding is just crazy, especially on the highest difficulty! All I can suggest is to just practice and to stick with the Faia VM and the DT Bozuton when you unlock it. The other cars aren't worth bothering with :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 28, 2015 Is this out - or do you have review copies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 28, 2015 Nah, we're talking about the original Wii game. FAST Racing Neo is the sequel that's due to come out later this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 28, 2015 Man, almost 2 years since the initial reveal! Is this Shin'en's longest project to date? It's a shame this is likely to get released (and therefore lost) among all the big Q4 titles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 28, 2015 Man, almost 2 years since the initial reveal! Is this Shin'en's longest project to date?It's a shame this is likely to get released (and therefore lost) among all the big Q4 titles. It is indeed. On the other hand though, Starfox Zero being pushed back is a blessing for them. If they can get it out in November, they'll be pretty well placed as far as Wii U titles go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously not so much of an issue as far as the Wii U specific schedule is concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 13, 2015 So good. :awesome: Wish it was out this month though (i.e. right now! ), as December is already jam-packed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 13, 2015 Agreed. It looks the dog's! Can't wait to get my hands on it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 13, 2015 Hope it has better AI than the original, that game is just stupidly hard, even a perfect race can be a loss if you're in the wrong car... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 13, 2015 It's crazy, I just don't see other independent studios with such a mastery of 3D graphics as Shin'en. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) It's crazy, I just don't see other independent studios with such a mastery of 3D graphics as Shin'en. Well that's 'cause these guys come from the Amiga demoscene. They're made of former members of Abyss. They're like coding wizards! It's insane what they can pump out for how small a team they are! : peace: Edited November 13, 2015 by Dcubed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 13, 2015 Looks too Wipeout, not F-Zero (which is a bad thing IMO...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 13, 2015 I agree, but in the absence of one I will give the other a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 13, 2015 That's just exactly it though, it isn't F-Zero or Wipeout or any other futuristic racer you care to mention. While passing comparisons will be made, FAST is its own thing and it's glorious. This sequel looks to significantly improve upon the original which was already amazing considering what Shin'en were up against with the paltry limitations of the Wii shop channel. Now we get to see what their true vision for the series is and I for one cannot wait. : peace: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 13, 2015 It's crazy that this is only an e-shop title and it's been in development for so long. It looks really nice, I never played the original so wasn't aware that the AI was a bit off, I tend to be terrible at racing games so hopefully it's more forgiving than you guys say the original was!

Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Apparently this is out on Thursday in the US. So it might not have to be a December release over here! Edit: Ah, nope. They have changed it back in the trailer again. Damn. Edited November 17, 2015 by MindFreak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I saw that over on Neogaf and got seriously hyped. Shame it was a mistake. Would be good if they could at least get a demo out this month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 17, 2015 I may finally download FAST Racing League on the Wii as it would be great to have another excuse to get the Wii Wheel out I played the demo again earlier this year and it definitely put me in the mood to play it but I never got around to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 1, 2015 I hope the price is acceptable, as it is eShop only title. If it is, I will probably just buy it, as there is money left from the sales. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 1, 2015 Ah, finally the PS4 version will be announced. : peace: Shame I won't ever play this game as I'll sell my Wii U soon. FAST: Racing Neo looks cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2015 [TWEET]671695575033782274[/TWEET] Probably the price and release date. Bring it on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2015 Date and price finally announced. It's an eagerly anticipated Wii U eShop exclusive, and now Shin'en Multimedia has finally confirmed the launch details for FAST Racing NEO; the good news is that we'll be on the grid soon. It will arrive in North America and Europe on 10th December, and even better it'll be at a rather reasonable €14.99 / $14.99 / £10.99. Shin'en has even released a snazzy movie-style poster to celebrate the occasion. Very happy with that price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2015 Fantastic, great price point! Day one purchase for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
