FUTURE GPX CYBER FORMULA SIN VIER

This game has a good foundation. The cars look incredible, and the detail is astonishing. There's a few errors here and there, though, like details that are absent or changed compared to the source material, as well as some minor visual bugs with decals and such when a car changes modes. The driving is super fun. Challenging, but not unfair, just takes some getting used to. The AI isn't great, though, but it's not like this game has much singleplayer content to begin with. The multiplayer is dead most days of the week, but I've managed to find a few people. They're really good at the game, though, I simply couldn't compete. However, there's two things that seriously bother me, and one of which is where DREI Plus has an advantage. The previous game has a huge leg up regarding the game's speed. And I mean its *actual* speed, not the speed shown on the speedometer (which is supposed to be in km/h). It's not even close to accurate, the cars are far too slow. Now, I realize that doesn't sound like much of a problem, but consider what Cyber Formula is. It's not just weird Japanese Formula 1. It's the most extreme auto racing competition on the planet, with machines capable of going 700+ KMH. This is very poorly reflected in the speeds the cars are actually going, which my guess is around 300-400 KMH at most. Oh, and the tracks are quite literally scaled down from DREI Plus to accommodate the slower speeds. Doesn't look great when smaller, I'll be honest. There are Cyber Formula games out there that properly replicate the real speeds, like most of the Road to the Infinity games for PS2, so I know it's possible, and has been for a long time already. Hell, DREI Plus was the game made directly before this one, and by the same people as this game! If you can do it once, I'm sure you can do it again! The other thing is how the grip cars handle. There's only a few drift cars in the game, those being the AKF-0/G, the AN-21, and the red 00-X3/II if I remember correctly. The rest are grip cars (including the purple Z/A-11, surprisingly), and the way they turn... well, let's just say there's no point in using an analog stick. It's either full steering or straight ahead. If you're precise enough, you could potentially use the analog stick properly, but it's insanely difficult and not viable for serious racing. I could barely achieve partial steering myself, and that's when I'm putting all my focus into it! Honestly, I prefer DREI Plus over VIER, despite how much better this game looks graphically, because the effects are more faithful to the source material, and the speeds are more accurate to the speedometer. I also just kinda wish it wasn't so dead...
