the nearest thing to motorstorm: pacific rift on current platforms. it’s ok, there are a lot of weird little choices i don’t understand and don’t like, both in terms of actual game-play and presentation.
-the awful, self-consciously-ironic, annoying-on-purpose podcast interludes [???]
-the music can’t decide whether or not to play during races (not much of an issue thanks to spotify integration on ps5)
the weirdest thing is the local multiplayer. while i greatly appreciate its inclusion (a racing game without local multi is pointless), it’s kind of tacked-on and operates strangely. when player one finishes a race, player 2’s dualsense feedback stops? it seems like someone worked a lot of extended hours to get some kind of local multi in there, but it wasn’t fully integrated.
the dualsense response is phenomenal and i love the feel of the different track surfaces
