That is actually really beautiful!  Needs sound of course.

NAMCO's game, FFS

People need to stop giving Atari unearned credit.

Pretty neat. It looks like a commercial for Pole Position using CG turned into an actual game.

Saw this on the YouTube comments, and keep in mind, he started this over 5 years ago.  🙄

Thanks! It's not yet available to download and play - I hope to make binaries when I finally get around to finishing it. The source is available though, so you might be able to find somebody to put together a binary on your behalf.

Wow Awesome project!

 

the cars have real-time shadows!

Now that it's poly-based, this might make an interesting VR game (3rd person VR works well)

It looks great though I hope the explosions are touched up as they don't seem to fit somehow.  As they are they remind me too much of space harrier explosions ps2 lol.  Seriously nice work!

Horizon Chase Turbo is very fun for sure.
