One of the most successful music genres with the transition from "2D games" to 3D without a doubt the sports car and speed. The engines of new paintings and the use of polygons were revolutionary. The feeling of depth and speed was overwhelming and the few were overwhelmed when we saw the performances at the concerts and later comforted at 32.
There were already arcade Classics like Hang On, Out Run or Pole Position and 3D games like Winning Run, but Virtua Racing (Sega, 1992) or Ridge Racer (Namco, 1993) gave a shot the first of a whole series of mythical car arcades during the '90s. The most important thing at the time was the speed, fun and the ability to find each point before the end of time and saw the name Game Over. It doesn't matter if you don't have a huge car capacity to choose from or many circuits to work on, or customization or number of options.
Over time these games have lost steam, changed or become various fashion proposals such as Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport, though from time to time similar games continue to appear. In this case now SUMO Digital is the one that says that by using Hotshot Racing it wants to charge for those '90s games, offering a platform where the real fun comes into play and the style it shows at the time.
We were able to play the test version on single-player modes provided by Hotshot racing, even though we couldn't test the multiplayer, which is clearly not working now. What else stands as its own piece of animation, mimicking the aforementioned 90s games … Or with the sharpness and modern definition. It is clear that at this stage it is not surprising but good work is done to convey these feelings to us, as well as the feeling of speed and smoothness.
As for the game modes, we have the classics: championship, individual race, time trial or multiplayer. We can also select characters of different nations, which can drive different cars with different looks and characteristics with 3 parameters: speed, speed and drive. The number of circles is also wide, we have different areas that also have several rounds each, much like the unpleasant head in ancient games.
In addition to the standard arcade method when it comes to racing, they have added two other types of race: thieves and police and one where you have to keep up the speed (high and high) if you don't want to count down the car. eruption. That police and thieves are amazing, with opportunities that can be fun for many players, but being in a closed state rarely does it work. We will have to kill others for crashes and lower their health bar.
The gameplay is a solid point of Hotshot racing, it doesn't get to the best version, but it's fun and generally responds well.As always, you have to know when to break up at the right time and become a master of skid, even though it doesn't reach the point of a game like Out Run or Ridge Racer.
In short, it looks like SUMO Digital will give us a different proposal that can give us more game in online racing and that would be a good option if you want to take a few races the old fashioned way without a lot of problems. And if you don't pay attention to the graphical feature it will advise you.
