Developed over more than 10 years, the game was released on 10 September 2020 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One. The… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

    Iunno something something Sforza and everyone is posting about their indie/AA game of choice that you should care about instead, and I'm sitting in the corner like "We haven't gotten a real proper arcade racing game on home platforms since Hotshot Racing."

    this looks like the arcade Ridge Racer but (almost) plays like modern Ridge Racer. I think I found my new jam on Switch lmao (the game is Hotshot Racing)

    Oh shit, that game looks sweet. A few years ago a diferent racing game that was trying to be a Virtua Racer era throwback came out, Hotshot Racing. I didn't like it because the gameplay was a bit bland but this looks way more exciting to play. It defenitly goes to on my Steam wishlist.

    Quite a few! Daytona Ridge Racer Need for speed For modern day Hotshot Racing Victory heat rally Parking garage rally circuit Personally I WANT to do full proper reviews of each game but I lack time so I'll be covering my favorites and reaching out to devs as I do for any indie review.

    My first Steam Gameplay thanks to newly added in-app game recorder. This is Hotshot Racing, a very fun racing gameplay representing a homage to the convincing low poly Sega game Virtua Racing, which led to Virtua Fighter series: youtu.be/IHcVWL87e-A

    I haven’t found the perfect Indi racing game. „Parking Garage Rally“ and „Inertial Drift“ came pretty close. Hotshot Racing was ok.

    Day 20: Music from a racing game Hotshot Racing (multi platform) - Apex Rally This is what a great throwback arcade style racing game should sound like. It’s a perfect blend of nostalgic feeling and exhilarating; paying respects to what influenced it while changing things up and adding to it.

    Continuing Racing Month with a game I should have given a buy back when it released, Hotshot Racing has definitely increased that feeling. But, I'm glad I'm now playing it, as it is a great retro-themed racer that I can easily recommend.

    There's a cool game that reminds me of Ridge Racer done Virtua Racing style, Hotshot Racing on the Xbox and Playstation. I don't know it it's on PC, but I would think it would be. Plus there's free DLC.

    Just read the document, personally I feel since the game is still popular and profitable to be updated we will still get more patches to tweak the items. Reminds me of the early days of Hotshot Racing when the devs buffed all the cars since nothing could compete with Carbon LOL

    Hotshot Racing is lacking in content/progression system, but as an indie game I can overlook that, especially seeing as it had a pretty satisfying brake-to-drift mechanic with a lightweight feel similar to Outrun 2 and Burnout, which I missed in newer games. It deserves a sequel to flesh out content

    All Stars Racing Transformed is still a really slick game and I've had a lot of fun with Hotshot Racing as well, but I skipped out on TSR and heard a lot of mixed things about it.

    Heads up - Hotshot Racing is like £2.30 on Switch at the moment and worth every penny if you want a game that’s like Ridge Racer crossed with Scud Race

    Hotshot Racing- I'm a bit shocked at how much I enjoyed this. It's a very simple no thrills racing game with a low polygon/flat shaded late-90s-but-clean look, and it is just REALLY solid and fun. Apparently it's from the Sonic & All Stars Racing devs just working without any license or much budget?

    Last week I got hooked on Hotshot Racing, currently £3.19. No Switch racing game is going to compete with Gran Turismo or Forza so this goes down the retro arcade polygon route. You can really throw the cars around, but it's properly challenging. #CheapskateGaming www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/...

    Mi recomendación personal es Hotshot Racing. Un arcade racing bonito, sin muchas pretensiones y muy divertido. Lo jugué originalmente en Xbox, lo tengo en Switch y en la Ultima sale estaba tan barato que lo compre de nuevo en Steam. store.steampowered.com/app/609920/H...

    What's the closest modern equivalent of this game that's neither a modern NFS game nor Hotshot Racing? Preferably with a similar, techno-prevalent soundtrack, as that's one of biggest reasons why I keep coming back to it. (to be fair I really just want the same game but with more content lol)
