Why in the absolute fuck has there not been a new Podracer in 20+ years?

Because this is a cruel and unfair world

Because episode one came out 20 years ago.

I don't understand. The game sold millions of copies and was extremely well recieved. I'm glad they didn't just pump one out year after year, but wtf is this shit?

Fast racing games, like F-Zero, just don't seem to prosper in the long run chuba

The hate for prequel content still lingers, even after everyone has moved on to hating something far worse.

it was a movie tie in that was surprisingly successful and still pulls in money for dave and busters today. It wasn't meant to be a series.

>Episode 1 Racer remaster for PS4 and Switch was supposed to drop last month
>Got delayed indefinitely due to COVID-19

What exactly does remaster mean and why does it mean same old textures?

Wasn't it outlawed by the Empire?

Or, IRL, because it's strongly tied to the Prequels which are viewed as "immature" and "not real Star Wars".

Ironic.

Who gives a fuck. Shits fun.

Anything not Episode 4-6 bad! Fat, greasy autistic manchild on Reddit told me so!

Disney hates the prequels and most gamers don't like antigrav racers anymore. It's a damn shame.

>Prequels
>Anything but hot garbage

Yikes!

It was one scene in one movie. Why would there be more than one game? Hell, it's a miracle one game was made for it at all.

Theres no way a new podracer wouldn't sell well.

user bought into market bs. It was nothing more than a port running at a higher native resolution.

I don't doubt that. however, gamers have not expressed enough desire for more anti grav racers and Disney refuses to acknowledge the prequels' existence.

Because no.

Acknowledging the prequels BAD

We are currently in absolute peak prequel nostalgia territory. It will not get better than this. It's a few more years of love for them, and then they start getting pushed to the side by the kiddies that grew up on the DT. If they had any brains, they'd release a new podracer now to capitalize on the market

george lucas had too much soul for the journos

I couldn't agree more.

Podracing was only included in the movie to sell more toys. It's over

>refuses to acknowledge the prequels' existence.

>Episode 8 had a blatant reference to Darth Sidious
>Episode 9 literally brings back Darth Sidious and even gives him the funny meme quotes
>The Mandalorian has an entire backstory involving the Clone Wars and Death Watch
>An entire Obi Wan Kenobi series is in the works, set right after RotS
>Solo had that Maul Cameo
>Disney even let them release Season 7 of the Clone Wars

What's this about them "refusing to acknowledge" the prequels?

TRoS also had prequel ships in the final battle on Exegol, at that

They released the PC port of the original on GOG not too long ago. I don't know it this is a difference between the PC and N64 versions, but when I replayed it the AI seemed braindead easy. Maybe they get better the further you progress in the campaign, but after a few races of easily lapping everyone else I lost interest.

Damn this is a comfy image.

parts would be obtainable through loot boxes and racetracks would be behind huge paywalls

Wipeout and F-zero were and always will be better than basedwars

Nintendo said there will never another F-Zero when people can just play Mario Kart.

The ps2 game where you could kill the other racers was the best racing game on the console. I think it was called racer revenge or some shit
