Star Wars: Galactic Racer har ikke noget season pass

Star Wars: Galactic Racer får ikke et season pass. Fuse Games' debutspil som studie er et multiplayer-spil, der undgår fælderne ved moderne live-service-titler i 2026, da det ønsker at bringe en gammeldags arkadefølelse tilbage med fokus på at give spilleren en fantastisk oplevelse frem for at få dem til at punge ud. Det var noget af det, der skabte overskrifter, da spillet først blev afsløret, og under et preview-arrangement for spillet fangede vi spilinstruktør Matt Webster for at spørge ind til, hvordan indholdet efter lanceringen kommer til at forme sig.

"What I meant when I said that was that we wanted a grounded experience right out of the thing. Not that there would be an absence of things that would come after launch, but notwithstanding. What we wanted to do was push the genre forward and by looking at, by challenging some of those racing conventions," forklarede Webster og tilføjede, at i stedet for at fokusere på season pass eller hvordan post-launch- og DLC-indhold ser ud, valgte Fuse Games at prioritere at udfordre konventionerne for moderne racerspil.

"So it starts from actually bringing consequence back into racing. You know, it's difficult to have consequence when you've got a rewind button. And so what we wanted to do was embrace the spectacle, the audiovisual spectacle of a crash, but also embrace the consequence of a crash," sagde Webster.

Han tilføjede, at kampagnen inkorporerer visse roguelite-elementer, hvilket betyder, at man kan opleve øjeblikke af fiasko, der gør, at man får lyst til at vende stærkere tilbage. "That structure, runs-based structure, is sort of conditioned for replayability. And racing games thrive on replayability. The more I play with a vehicle, the better I understand its handling dynamics. The more I play a racetrack, I understand its configuration and how to optimize," sagde han.

Dette gælder også for multiplayer-delen, hvor spillere belønnes for at engagere sig i spillets mekanikker frem for bare at holde speederen nede. Læs mere i vores fulde interview herunder:
