Galactic Racer is a runs-based racing game set in the lawless Outer Rim region of the Star Wars universe. Wishlist now on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and Epic....
I am disappointed seeing that the Need for Speed developers are from Criterion, and not former Black Box. Criterion’s NFS games have been trash compared to Black Box, particularly the handling. They fall feel like mobile games thanks to their B2D mechanic, rather than the more predictable handling model from older titles.
I am still interested, of course. Episode 1 Racer was the best thing to come out of Episode 1. Hopefully this one is good and has active multiplayer.
It was good, but Episode 1 Racer was better, IMO. It still holds the world record for best selling sci-fi racing game, beating out even F-Zero and Wipeout.
Also, Episode 1 Racer appeals to people that may not really care too much about Star Wars by being a good racing game regardless. Jedi Power Battles though, relies more on the Star Wars IP, IMO. Especially the PS1 and GBA ports, which honestly weren’t that great in comparison to the Dreamcast version.

Pod racing?
Super Bombad Racing is the only true Star Wars racing game (/s). But for real, this looks cool. Curious what the gameplay looks like.
That’s so wizard

I thought Jedi Power Battles was good but that may be nostalgia glasses.
