Wow, I didn't know this game would be released on GOG!
Cool, car racing is one of my favourite genres. On the wishlist for the time being.

Thanks a lot, GOG!

Hopefully there won;t be a single licensed car out there and little licensed music.

Licensed cars always kill racing games in the end.

i'm enthousiast, yet a bit cautious because nothing in the studio's past records gives any garantee about the ability to deliver a racing game...

but i really would like this game to be good/fun, especially because the sub theme appeals a lot to me, being a little inital-d junkie (and i also hope this game will be not too hard to mod either, for the same reason)

also, considering racing games are quite a rare thing on gog; one of the main reason (but not the only one) being that car manufacturers and music industry (both entities who usually are licensing their own IPs to cars/racing video games) dont really understand a damn thing about video game market and commercial cycles and usually only contract licensing deals for short amount of time (which are unfit for the way videogame market works), hence the reason why most great racing games from the past two decades get removed from every digital platforms stores after barely a couple of years

and other games are so big profile IPs from big publishers who usually are either not interested or even fiercely against the mere concept of DRM free, that getting any of those titles on gog is also mostly impossible because of legal issues

but then allow me to use this opportunity to bring up a point:
SPLIT / SECOND !
one of the best and funniest arcady racing game of the past decade or more

- Licensed/real cars: NO ! check...
- Licensed music: NO ! check (orchestral unique ost was made for this game)
- Obscure franchise for which future sequel title was cancelled: check
- Publisher: Disney Interactive, who kind of took advantage of gog's tech team work to undust an refresh their old retro games of famous animated movies licences, just so they could remove them from gog catalog shortly after, and to finally put them back on steam again to sell them in time with the "new cgi remasters" of some of said movies (i may be wrong with my theory, but from my pov, this is how it feels like)

so to be honest: which harm would it do to disney and disney interactive wallet to have the pc port for SPLIT / SECOND to reach the drm-free catalog ?
it would be a fair compensation for what happened with the flash-short span entry and removal of some disney's retro titles

Superb release, more racing games are a must here. Thanks to everyone involved!!!

one different thought though, even if it's not really important:

the choice for background music in the trailer !?

i mean, for players who are into racing games, when you hear "japanese" and "drift" in the same sentence, is this really the kind of music genre you first think about in your head ? (coz afaic, it's clearly not in that register of sound i'm drivin :) )

Doesn't look like it.
The in-game cars seem to be modelled after real cars, but as long as there aren't emblems and minor differences from the original I'd say there shouldn't be an issue.

Finally a new racing game!
Thanks for releasing the game here!

Remains to be seen what the price is but yeah racing is such an underrepresented genre here so I might have to buy it anyway....

I hope it has a good soundtrack though.

Looks like Art of Rally with more realistic graphics. Hope it will be as good.

Looks great. System requirements look a tad steep, though.

Wow! A racing game on GOG. I mean ACTUALLY racing game with REAL CARS.
Too bad I won't be able to buy it.

Deja Vu

Not always. NFS: Porsche Unleashed was probably (to me) the best racing game ever made. It rolled into that license really well. Sadly the developer's follow-up titles were "every license under the sun, and how about licensed clothing brands, too?" junk.

Redacted. Off topic, I apologize.
