Star Wars 🍬Episode 1: Racer is coming to Nꩵintendo Switch and PS4 on May 12.
The new version of the 1999 original features remastered visuals and updated controls for both platforms. Developer As🍸pyr Media also uprezzed the pre-rendered cutscenes - though the teaser screenshots make it clear that we're definitely still looking at late '90s CGI here, it's nice and smooth for your modern display.
In an interview on , Aspyr producer James Vicari talked about the unique challenge of modernizing the original game's controls for modern consoles. He told the site: "Racer originally came out in an interesting time for controllers. We were rea﷽lly starting to see interesting things - rumble, multiple analog sticks. Even the shape of the N64 controller," Vicari said.
"So i🎀t’s sort of fitting that when you look at controls today, we’re seeing the same thing. Like the Switch Joy-Cons. You really ♊want to make sure that the game plays well and embraces as much of the variations as possible for them. So we’ve done a lot of work to make sure that the game feels comfortable in all configurations, including playing with each individual Joy-Con."
This is great news. Remember that special mod๊e where you could plug in two N64 controllers and use each analog stick to control your individual engines? I thought th🍎at was so cool, even though I could barely wrap my nine-year-old brain around it. Hopefully they do something similar with the modern control schemes.
The Switch and PS4 version will be the first official re-release for the game since the Dreamcast port in 2000. It was announced alongside the modern debut of Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, which first arrived in 2003.
Racer and Jedi Academy felt worlds apart💃 at the time, but they were all part of a golden age of Star Wars games developed by LucasArts from the late '90s through the mid '00s. Yes, I'm specifically referring to Star Wars: Republic Commando as the tail end there. Sev lives.
