Far too hard, even on easy?

[King David]

Does anyone else find this game much too difficult? Even playing easy mode on the easiest track, keep coming 12th. It's not that I'm bad at racing games, as I can win on many other racing games. Just not this one.

It seems like the game designers made "easy" too difficult, or maybe should have put in a "very easy" mode. What do other people think?

For me easy is not too hard in this game, but that is a very subjective thing.
You said that you are better at other racing games, maybe you need to "forget" what you have learned in other racers and need to re-learn racing for this game?
I can give a few tips: Learn the tracks, learn the shortcuts and learn how and when to use drift and boost.
The game uses rubberbanding for the bots, so most of your wins may feel quite close most of the time.

Also take a look at your cars, they have different stats and you can upgrade cars.

Thanks for the tips, will try it = )

[King David]

Nah, still way too hard. I think the game designers forgot that very young kids would be playing this game. Easy level should have an AI that is constantly crashing into the sides. Badly designed IMHO.

After Steam Family Beta, we can't know for sure that he's pirating. He just might be in a Steam Family and be playing with a paid original copy that someone else from his Family bought.

I finished first every game even on first try on easy. So I tried medium to get a bit more challenge.

12th

You make a mistake, It's impossible to come back.

I came back on "easy" difficulty. I don't have the time or the energy to stress myself on a "Medium" difficulty ^^

On medium you need to get good at boosting and recharging your booster quickly by drifting.
The ai drivers rarely boost on easy, but on medium they are using boost (not perfectly)

On hard they are using boost /drift perfectly and driving perfect lines around the track.
You have to start aggressive right from the start and stay out front the whole time, driving better than perfect (and maybe you'll get a lucky break and they'll crash into each other instead of you)

Timing can be critical in this game. Hitting a slide too soon or too late can cost you time in recovering your speed, hitting a boost at the wrong time can cost you more than it helps. I try to make visible landmarks or queues for when and where I need to hit something. For example, I often tend to drive in the middle of the track and many times when going around a corner, I'll drive over the blue connector pegs in the track and that's where I start my slide, then just as my slide is about done and my car is pointing the direction I want to go, I hit the boost.. Usually this will help me miss the wall and rocket me down the track. But again, timing is critical..

I just got the achievement for beating the hard ai driver today, I managed to grab 1st place right at the last corner by knocking the lead car out of control as i boosted to victory!

I think OP ditched the Thread / Game. (It's been almost 6 months)
"Easy" Doesn't require That you drift or use Boost to win the race.

Challenging but on Medium is beatable. Needs some practice. Still far away from old Wipeout complexity. You don't even shoot here, no weapons etc.
