Synthwave Rhythm Racer Neon Drive Lights Up PS4 Next Week

Acceptable in the 80s

by Sammy Barker Fri 4th Aug 2017

Eighties-inspired rhythm racer Neon Drive will dig out its DayGlo on 8th August in celebration of its PlayStation 4 release. The stylish arcade lane-switcher will see you dodging obstacles to the beat of electronic toms, and promises a total of eight levels set to an original synthwave soundtrack composed by Gustav Eriksson Pengus. You can check out some gameplay through here.

This looks really rad. The world needs more MR2s.

It better not be overpriced. From what I heard from the critics, the game is light on content and gameplay, so the price better not be higher than the PC.

@SKC_Diamond @SoulsBourne128 It was only $7.99 at launch on PC I think, maybe cheaper, so somewhere in that ballpark is possible.

This looks like it has some varied level design. When I first heard of it, I had super nostalgic flashbacks to Tromytronic Thundering Turbo 3D. It was an electronic handheld shaped like binoculars that featured a lane changing game: https://youtu.be/Eagowtg8EpY
