PS5, PS4's Best Chance at a Mario Kart Rival Disney Speedstorm Flaunts Its Founders Packs

I'll happily give it a go when the free version comes out but in the meantime I'll just stick to Mario Kart.

The latest Wave 4 of new tracks is actually the best one yet

@BeerIsAwesome Question is, does it not shift copies because people know it’ll be free at some point? Or is it a lack of interest?

I know that for my wife the answer is the former…

@BeerIsAwesome How can you be on a playstation site and forget about CTR ?? I’m talking about the original one on PS1, it had some follow-ups but none were any good and the nitro-fueled remake or whatever it was , wasn’t good either .

but the original CTR > Mario kart 64

all they had to do was just take the original CTR , update the graphics , add online and that’s it. still kinda sad they butchered it .

Sonic and Sega All Stars 1+2 were amazing. I would love to know what/who caused the follow up to these acclaimed and very popular games to be Team Sonic Racing.

Those of us trying to stick to one gaming ecosystem had a very decent kart racer with as much to offer as most Mario Karts. So sad they dropped the ball.

As for this Disney Racer I have to say I have no interest, I also think the model for this game doesn't suit its target audience either. It'll flop hard long term I suspect.

There is only one king of the kart racers
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

@get2sammyb standard and deluxe lists are same. is that right?

Gameloft knocked it out of the park with Dreamlight Valley, ultimate founder's pack purchase for me, I am hoping lightening will be striking twice

Awyuck, gawrsh… I’m really enjoying Kart Rider Drift. So much so that I now have it on my phone and Xbox.

@BeerIsAwesome Would love to see Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing remastered, brilliant game (Sonic Team Racing not so much)

I remember back when Disney made Split/Second on the PS3. That was a fun racing game. Wish they'd bring that back.

There's also kartrider drift on all platforms I think. Another game like mario kart.

@CutchuSlow You can play Split Second on Psplus (streamed though) Disney and Blackrock also did Pure (best quad racer i ever played) wish Blackrock studios were still around.

@Smiffy01 I gave my PS4 away and I don't have a PS5. And the PS3 is probably somewhere at my dad's house.

@CutchuSlow Ah i see

Did I miss something? What's the difference between Standard pack and Deluxe pack?

@nomither6 what makes the original CTR better? I'm curious. I've only played the remake and I've heard a few people say this.

@sentiententity it’s been about 4 years so my memory is foggy about it but some things were changed for the worst or added for the worst

• The blue fire mechanic completely broke the game and ruined online play . players that could use it would run laps around other players and items were useless . The OG had it , but it wasn’t infinite. the game went from being a kart racer to f-zero or wipeout & became about who could maintain their blue fire the longest. it was really ridiculous and not CTR , and they never fixed it .

-Online was broken on release and essentially never fixed . initially players would be dropped from lobbies, and when a match did happen , it was laggy almost every time . players randomly got hit by items they couldn’t see because of the poor net code & other players would skip or “lag” on the screen . it wasn’t a smooth experience like mario kart at all .

-(online) Items were horrible. One particular item that functioned like the blue shell from mario kart was bugged to where you’d see 3 or more of them on the map at a time because item distribution RNG was so broken . 99% of the other items were useless mainly because of the awful blue fire mechanic , there was no point to use items .

-(online) If you got hit before the first boost pad , it was over for you , since boost pads are how you get the blue fire mechanic . there was no “rubber band” potential , if you weren’t in a good spot before the first boost pad , then you’re never getting first place , nothing could help you .

-Majority of the Nitro-Kart tracks were bad and the worst offenders of the blue fire mechanic since the tracks allowed the broken mechanic to be exploited . there was one stage i remember that you literally spent more time flying through the air from a ramp because of blue fire rather than racing on the track .

-Actually almost all of the Nitro-Kart content was bad ; aside from the rule 34 bait , the majority of the characters and stages they added were more of a nuisance than a welcomed addition . Nobody wanted Nitro-Kart involved with its superior predecessor and for good reason .

-They ruined the original characters voices and personality (papu papu , penstripe , ripper roo off the top of my head we’re all ruined)

-Kart classes were broken , etc

overall it was a broken game with tacked on garbage

@BeerIsAwesome Aye totally, one of gaming's great mysteries why Sega dont dig into their extensive IP libraries.

@KidBoruto nothing. I'm not getting a PS5. I wanna build a gaming pc. I have 1 now, but it's outdated. But I'm going to save up for a better PC. I also have a switch. And I'm mostly into jrpgs. So they're always available on either PC or switch.

@KidBoruto I think I only saw the 2011 version. I'm not sure. I watched it in 2019 when a friend told me about it. And that friend doesn't watch anime, but he liked this. So I thought I'll give it a chance and yeah I liked it too.

@KidBoruto yeah I know. But I also heard the manga isn't complete, coz I heard the creator likes to take long breaks.

@KidRyan oh I didn't know that
