Star Wars Galactic Racer will soon welcome larger podracing parties, with multiplayer group size limits set to double in a future update

We're big fans of Star Wars: Galactic Racer, having given the fast and punishing racing game five stars in our review. We also spoke to developer Fuse Games to better understand how it recaptured the Burnout spirit so well in the game. And it was then we heard about Fuse's unique approach to prototyping Galactic Racer. "What's the fastest way we can get ideas down and then talk about them? " Fuse Games CEO Matt Webster told Eurogamer. "Modern engines are so capable that you can do a lot of it in-software, but there's still something [about that which is] not as fast as getting a written idea down. "

In addition to the main campaign and traditional experience in Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World, Square Enix confirmed the different online multiplayer modes and offline Battle Arena options. The former has casual and more competitive options, along with rewards for taking part in them. The latter involves standard battles and a Wrangler’s Gauntlet that is a roguelike mode with self-contained situations and characters used in runs that task players with surviving 50 battles. Recommended Videos The online multiplayer in Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World supports cross-play and involves the casual Online Joint Battles for up to four players to come in with their teams of three and reserves, the Private matches with custom rules, and the Ranked Matches. The Online Joint Battles is notable for the rewards people get for winning, including eggs that can hatch into monsters. The Hub also has a Wranglers Society with matches, a roulette wheel with prizes, and an Online Shop that rotates its stock regularly.  As for the offline Battle Arena in Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World, that features a traditional fight in addition to the roguelike Wrangler’s Gauntlet.

I've been doing this whole games journalism for over five years now, and I've seen a lot of different kinds of games in that time. I've written about plenty of them too, with a fair few being plenty weird. But I'll admit that today's game is one that I do understand if I were to tell anyone I'm interested in playing who maybe isn't familiar with games as a whole, they'd probably talk to someone else at the party. You see, Urine Trouble: PEE V PEE is a competitive online game all about pissing literally everywhere, and trying not to get caught doing so. In Urine Trouble: PEE V PEE, public urination has become punishable by death. "Good! " I hear those of you who hate when people randomly piss on the side of a building, though perhaps the death penalty is an overreaction. As a response to this, a group of rebels known as The Pissers decide to take back their city by pissing on literally everything. Luckily, you, as a Pisser, are able to blend in with the NPCs of the world in order to hide from the cops, as every single character looks almost exactly the same.

More familiar flickage coming to a slide near you Both James and I dug anime-styled arcade racer Screamer when we gave a verdict on it earlier this year, but one aspect that raised both of our eyebrows was the game's unorthodox twin stick drift controls. Usually, steering and sliding in racing games are managed by the one singular controller stick, keeping things simple and intuitive, but Milestone opted to make you kick out the tail with a second stick instead. It feels fine once you get used to it, but is the kind of thing that could bounce folks off who're not down to rewrite years of muscle memory.

Star Wars Galactic Racer is going to get more content and developers Fuse Games will be making sure the community’s requests are a priority. In a new interview with The Games Business, Fuse Games co-founder and CEO Matt Webster was asked a bunch of questions and he revealed some very interesting insights into the game’s development. Additionally, he shared the team’s thinking towards future content and updates for the game.

The podracing scene in The Phantom Menace is one of my favorite movie sequences ever. It’s just so dang cool: The futuristic racers tear over treacherous Tatooine terrain while various Star Wars aliens bark at each other in incomprehensible sci-fi languages. Eventually a young Anakin Skywalker proves his mettle by clawing his way from the back of the pack to win the race, which left an impression on me when I first saw it at 10 years old. I always wished I could pilot a podracer myself. Over the past several days, I’ve been able to live out that dream thanks to Star Wars: Galactic Racer, which takes everything from that brilliant scene and packs it into a thrilling video game. In Galactic Racer’s campaign, you play as Shade, a cargo pilot who gets a shot at racing in the underground Galactic League circuit to eventually challenge the smarmy champion Kestar Bool. The game is basically a roguelike. You start a run (called a “tour”) by picking between a few different vehicles — though you don’t get to drive a podracer until partway through the campaign — and selecting various perks that can influence your style of play.
