From Starwars.com: "When a console war is over and the dust, or pixels, have settled, only a handful of games rise to the top and come to define that generation of gaming. And for the 64-bit era, Star Wars Episode I: Racer is definitely in that category: a landmark title for Nintendo 64 released alongside Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, it sold millions and captured imaginations by bringing the film’s centerpiece sequence, the podrace, into homes. You could play as Anakin Skywalker or one of the movie’s many brilliantly weird aliens, from Sebulba to Ben Quadrinaros, and customize their vehicles to your liking. It looked great, it was fast, it was fun. It also had sniping Tusken Raiders. And it’s coming back. (Based on the reception to StarWars.com’s announcement last month, fans are very happy out that.)"
Explore two completely different worlds and vibes this May in Games with Gold!
I actually dig Hoa's Ghibli style art, I'd try it. Still... so little offered compared to the competition.
These offerings are pathetic. Tell it like it is, that's why Xbox keep getting crap month after month, all the apologizers.
I haven't played Racer since the N64 / Dreamcast days. Is this a remaster of the N64 or the better DC or maybe PC version?
It’s the remaster of the PC version
Still has enjoyable as it was back then :)
I remember loving Phantom Menace so much that I needed this game on N64. It was so fun. I don’t think I ever chose another pod other than Anakin’s
Your average Xbox live gold subscriber is paying $100/year for this service.... Incredible
What? Last I checked it was 60 bucks a year. But Xbox has clocked out from their gold subscription being the place to get anything since gamepass is where they’re trying to draw the attention to.
Not if you are just doing a recurring subscription. There's only one month for $10 and three months for $25. So if you're a new customer and you want to do it for $60/year you got to buy codes and plug them in
@crazy.
Omg you’re right. I went to their website and Gold is $9.99 a month. That’s insane. I never thought Gold was worth it, cuz the Xbox isn’t my primary console, but last time I had it, it was $60.
This is obviously to get people to get Game Pass which looks more enticing in that regard
I'm paying 60.33 a year for Gamepass ultimate which includes this. Still would prefer PS+. Wishful hopes, but I'd like to just get a PS5 and have gamepass app option.
That's the thing.... Average user using list price for this thing is $100/year. Of course there are alternative methods to get subs, like buying cards/codes, CDkeys, stacking subs via the loophole, MS points for using Bing, etc. But your average parent paying for his kid's subscription doesn't have time for all that crap
Why not just delete it at this point. Give out free movie downloads a month or something. Movies with gold. This is ridiculous.
The Force has been strong on the Nintendo Switch with many Star Wars games emerging on the hybrid system. From throttling a podracer through the desert to a grand Lego adventure, here are the best Star Wars games on Nintendo Switch.
THQ Nordic and Aspyr Media have announced new Star Wars game collections which are out soon on PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
Nice, but I was really hoping to see news for a KOTOR port releasing on PS4. Dying to get trophies in my favourite game of all time XD
Since all of those games are backwards compatible, it's probably an internal dilemma of whether the ports are worth it. Maybe there's even a company rule in place?
A new bundle that will probably charge full price for games you could have purchased over the past two decades for $2.50? So exciting!
N64 version was good but then i played the DC version and it was so much better. but the best was obviously the Sega arcade version with full cab. That one still amazes me with how good it is. The Racer Revenge sequel was kind of a let down but i applaud the effort to keep it going.
I want a remake
What version are they rereleasing because screenshots look like ps1 :(
Why didn’t they take the PC oder DC version?
Remaster now.
