  I don’t think every single game needs whatever innovation creative directors like to talk about means.

  Pod racer as a franchise will do well as long as it has:

  • customization
  • good visuals that span the star wars universes diverse locations
  • immersive sound design
  • easter eggs/lore stuff in the levels
  • reactive controls that aren’t bogged down by superfluous alternate systems
  • some way to mess with the other racers that isn’t actual weaponry
  • courses with plenty of alternate paths and potential interactibles, which may or may not be environmental hazards

  and I hope they get away from the known racers. Yes, I know the episode 1 racers are iconic. Please don’t make them the entire actual cast. They can maybe show up as special guests, secret ghosts, or course bosses.

  I’d like to see a method of “aiming” the engines, which could be like a fine control for cornering, or potentially an environmental trigger effect. Aim the engines down while going over sand/snow/water/dust? Make a plume of that material to obfuscate the course for those behind you. Aim them at a brittle looking wall while passing it to collapse it, or send bits of rubble to pelt anyone close enough behind you. Of course, its main should probably be air control and being able to move engine location for those tight fit areas we know are going to be a mainstay.

  PSP had an amazing library of games that I honestly miss and am glad to see some of them coming back soon in the way of spiritual successors.

  Some of the tops for me were:

  Monster hunter Cladun Dj max Patapon Loco roco Final fantasy dissidia Half minute hero Lumines Patchwork hero Holy invasion of privacy badman! What did I do to deserve this? Disgeae

  I was going to give a snarky response about expectations… But according to that article they do seem on track for it.

  If I get another life aquatic out of this, it’s an absolute win.
