Overview
- Polygon’s preview describes layered systems including twin-stick drifting, an active-reload-style gear shift that builds boost, and a twin-meter Echo setup for attacks, shields, and speed.
- The campaign emphasizes narrative with anime-style cut-scenes, a large international cast, and a universal-translator conceit that supports multilingual voice performances with subtitles.
- Milestone says it reclaimed the Screamer rights from prior publishers, including the defunct Virgin Interactive, enabling a clean break from licensing constraints.
- Developers highlight the freedom of using no real-world cars or brands, allowing unconventional arcade combat design rather than simulation-focused authenticity.
- ComicBook.com notes upgraded visuals, more detailed tracks and vehicles, and a full career mode as the reboot modernizes the 1995 cult racer’s arcade identity.
