Rush 2049 Anyone?

[Ange1ofD4rkness]

Am I the only one who is reminded a little of Rush 2049? I used to play it all the time on my N64, and seeing this, reminds me a little of it (heck I am tempted ot crack back out the N64 to play it again)

Rush 2049 was the initial inspiration for Nitronic Rush (the first game the devs made, while at Digipen). Distance is the spiritual successor to NR.

Really? Well that might explain a little. The whole wing thing especially and how the cars handled is one big factor that reminded me

[Ange1ofD4rkness]

Ahh I see what you mean about Nitronic Rush

Distance is however not necessarily a sequel to NR. The story of the Adventure mode in Distance isn't fully fleshed out yet, so for all we know it could very well be a prequel; that's what we typically call it a "spiritual successor" instead.

If you haven't played NR before, you should go check it out, it's free; as is it's soundtrack.

Oh? Well then I just might. Thank you

If I had one small criticism to make in comparison to Rush 2049 its that the flight/stunt model is different with regards to being able to sumersault your car forward/backward.

it currently acts more like a proper aircraft.

Still an awesome game however.

yep I wrote about the same thing here, http://steamcommunity.com/app/233610/discussions/0/626329186715866382/
I think it makes the stunt mode really boring but the focus of nitronic rush and distance was more about time trial racing where they like having more control, and that mode is still the most fun

[Ange1ofD4rkness]

I have yet to try the stunt mode here, so can't fully compare. But even in adventure mode, I felt nostalgic

That was my first impression, also. I loved Rush 2049 on N64.

I also sense a little bit of Ballistics, and a dash of Wipeout HD.

I read a review that mentioned San Francisco Rush so I was sold. It does feel like it with the gravity cheat enabled, if you remember that. I liked getting the keys on SFR.
Awesome game, great sound track and visuals, really hard to one-shot some of the tracks.

Ain't that truth.

True story. I was once playing the arcade version of the game (which is more just racing, no wings, ext). Anyway, I don't know if you remember, but the one map, that had Lombard Street (that windy road) that you would always jump over.

Well I go to land and what's unneith me? An NPC car. The game actually account for this when it was built cause all of sudden he went flipping backwards and out of side. It was ♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome
