If you ever get confused on what gameplay is being shown, I included numbers at the top right hand corner: 1 is for Racing Apex gameplay 2 is for Hotshot Racing gameplay.

I prefer Hotshot Racing by a mile. Racing Apex just looked silly with weapons on cars, and judging by the trailers it was very slow as well. Hotshot is a fast racer which is much better in my opinion. There's nothing wrong with streamlining a game and throwing out what's unnecessary. Hotshot Racing seems to perfectly capture the Virtua Racing vibe and I prefer it much more than if it had weapons. Those belong to cart racers I think.

"I find that basic arcade racing really isn't that fun" Well not everybody's gonna agree with that, and i think that's why more people prefer the current one (Hotshot Racing) over the old one (Racing Apex). That said, i think what the devs should at least do is add a seperate game mode featuring those weapons and guns

So people who don't really like 90's arcade racers are disappointed that a game made by and for 90's arcade racers fans has been modified to be more faithful to 90's arcade racers and so more appealing for the core audience of this game. I would'nt mind having weapons as long as it can be turned off, but having them was probably confusing for the core audience targeted by this game, or at least was making people (me included) concerned about the driving on a game designed arround weapons (so possibly less focus on precise/refined driving/physics, slower speed to be able to aim, and so maybe boring gameplay without weapon). Maybe weaponized game modes will be added later as a DLC if the game sells well. I prefer a great core driving gameplay and tweak it later on dedicated weaponized modes.

Its seems pretty split at the moment. Definitely the reception on this video is not great, but to be expected. However I am seeing people who are also agree with what I say. I think the biggest thing for me is removing content that could live inconjunction with the basic arcade racing as I call it. Or even have an option to turn off the weapons, which I believe was there originally.

I can see where you're coming from and I'm sorry that the game has shifted away from what you were hoping for, but honestly, I feel like the weapons really clashed with the rest of the game's aesthetic and distracted players from getting good at driving (instead making you focus on killing your opponents). Still though, I respect your opinion and your bravery for putting it out here.

I do not agree that them deciding to focus on the 90s feel and getting rid of the guns made it worse. Afterall I do not recall there being gun arcade racers from the 90s. (Could be wrong I was not born until the 2000s) This game is still great, maybe they could add the gunning stuff back in later. Also when you said that ridge racer doesnt let us customize out cars, that was just wrong. I can think of at least 2 installments of that series that allowed customization. Overall I still respect your opinion, but this is just what I personally think.

I'm not really a racing fan and even I think it now looks lot better and definitely more cohesive. I'm going to take a punt and say they took the damage out to secure the 60fps, hopefully it's something they add back in - but otherwise it looks good. I'm even tempted, I did enjoy Outrun 2 and this looks really promising.

So you made a 5 minute video but basically all you wanted tto say is that you are upset that they removed the guns.

The car handling and sounds seems much better in the new trailer so I also disagree.

"You shouldn't criticize a game for what it doesn't do." But I didn't. They clearly had weapons, and those gamemodes in the game prior to making the change.

Couldn't agree with you more. I had such high hopes for this game when I first saw the trailer in early 2017. And then the updates became less and less and the release date was never announced. But when (out of nowhere) it was announced that it was coming out as Hotshot Racing, I was skeptical. Something didn't seem right. And indeed, the game was changed completely. Damage and weapons were removed,the on-screen text style was changed, and overall just wasn't the same. Yes, it still has that early 90s look which is awesome, but like you said, very watered-down. Very disappointing. This game would've most definitely made me pull the trigger on a Switch, but now, there's no way.

Well it's true that the game have changed. I must say I was curious when I saw the Racing Apex trailer for the first time. A virtua-like racer with guns and some multiplayer modes? Okay, why not. Then time goes on and I forgot about it. Regarding Hotshot Racing, well some stuff seems to have been improved, like the handling or the speed (judging by the gameplay videos), but I understand your point of view. What makes this game unique for the most part is gone. Choices have to be made, sadly! At least this game is going to be released, unlike "90s Arcade Racer" (or 90s Super GP).

I'm fairly firmly in the 'no-guns' camp (in general), but I can see the other side you argue. I DO love Ridge Racer and I don't like all these realistic racers that overpopulate the market. My favourite racer of the last gen (PS3/360) was Split Second. Fab. Please can we have all the Ridge Racer tracks (ever) in 4K on PS5 or whatever the new XBOX will be called? Surely there's room for a shooting mode as well?

Great changes! Arcade racers are few rarely good so this game is gonna be fresh air instead of yet another so-so combat thing we always see. A game with no gun is probably a better game or at least a more original one. What's up with guns? Its the only type of conflict-solution a game designer can think ok? Pls.

I was just saying that the game just now is a basic arcade racer. While some might like that over vehicular combat, I find these basic arcade racers not really enjoyable. I've enjoyed arcade racers like Burnout, ONRUSH, Split/Second, Blur, etc, but those games expanded on the standard arcade racing. Hotshot Racing isn't doing that anymore, so thats why I'm disappointed in it.
