If Matthew Fox is in it I'll eat my foot.

Then I'll go ask God why he isn't in the LOST game, which could be rather good if it had all the right voice actors, but is in this trash.

The game looks like ASS. I'm guessing that it plays like SUPER-ASS. Using it with the Wiimote or the Wiiwheel will probably play like WAGGLE ASS.

So in short, ASS.

i didn't see the dukes of hazzard movie. did they change the general lee to one of those nascar moving billboards with the name general petraeus by any chance? if not, why not? seems to me like just the sort of thing to do.

Ah okay. Carry on with the "cries for heads" over the 6 then. You have my blessing. … oh … since we are requiring people to get things "right" it's KITT (with 2 Ts) and while they never pulled a KATT, there was a KARR (an evil first model car) … I'll let slide the omission of the periods (.) between the letters of K.I.T.T.'s name since it can go either way. ;)

@icarusprime: Yes, unless you count the American Speed Racer cartoon... They gave him a helicopter and stuff; it's best forgotten. In Speed Racer's case, changing the car's name (even though it looks exactly the same), would be like if they made a Night Rider movie, killed off KIT, and replaced it with a car named KAT.

@eastx:

I get the whole Go Go Go. So what you are telling me is that no matter what happens to Speed's Mach 5, if something happens to it and they build another it's still called Mach 5. So hypothetically they could have 30 Mach 5s lined up and one by one they all explode because Spritle thought it would be neat to teach Chim Chim how to throw lit matches into open gas tanks. So then that new 31st Mach car would still get a 5 painted on it and be called the Mach 5?

@icarusprime:

I don't think you understand. In the anime series and manga, no matter what happens, Speed drives the Mach 5. Like I said before, the Japanese title of the show is Mach Go Go Go, or Mach 5 5 5. Changing the name of his car, even if it's a new car, is not being faithful to the series. I'm sure it could be a fine movie; it's just being unfaithful in that important aspect.

Just wanted to point out that the "Jack" VO says it has been a year since the BIG RACE, so my guess is this is a new Mach car and that is why it's a 6 and not the 5. Maybe something happens to the Mach 5 in the movie?! Kind of like how pretty much each Enterprise gets all blowied up at the end of each Star Trek flick. So maybe think or check yourselves, okay?

On the bright side, it's a movie/show that actually makes sense to turn into a game. It could even be fun.

On the other hand, I just rented Burnout: Paradise, and I think, like Burnout 3 before it, all other racing games will pale in comparison.

Awesome chance to build probably what could've been the ultimate racing game.

What I saw in the trailer was... O... Meh... it needs the original cartoony look, the original sounds, the original song (Or at least Sponge's cover of it) and a game that gives us corny kills and thrills.

Without that, it's not a fun game, it's just another futuristic racer.

- the number on the side is supposed to be a 6.
- Sidhe Interactive is the developer of the Wii and PS2 versions. Virtuos is doing the DS version.

@Meldy: Wow took the words right out of my mouth. As soon as I saw this trailer I thought "Why is Matthew Fox lending his voice to Speed Racer, but not Lost?" Guess he got a nice paycheck.

Anyways, the movie looks like it will be really amazing or really crappy, but I'm leaning towards awesomeness. The Wachowskis seem to be sticking true to a lot of Speed Racers originalness (corny voice acting aside) and it looks quite good. Just my two cents.

@Witzbold: I really want all the voices in both the game and movie to be about a half-second off-sync with their mouth movements (much love for the english translation) and for everyone to talk like they're on 12 cups of coffee. That all seemed way to damn serious for the ridiculousness of Speed Racer.

Cogito — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 13:37:25 MST

Whenever a futuristic racer comes out, it inevitably draws comparisons to others of its ilk (F-Zero, Wipeout, Extreme-G, even Trackmania to a lesser extent, as dadeisvenm already said). While I myself am partial to Extreme-G (the first one especially, but XGRA was sweet as well) I nevertheless always wonder why future-racers are always so scrutinized against others like them. Perhaps because the genre is so small, with so few franchises, that each is percieved as a clone of the last? Who knows.

Never was a speed racer fan, but I always liked reimaginings of classic tales. I can appreciate the nostalgia, while at the same time appreciate the improvements. I'm actually intriuged by this game, and that's something for a Speed Racer game (as I said, not a fan).

Now if you'll excuse my I'm going to go back to designing custom XGRA bikes in Lightwave. Someday I'll be able to import them to Trackmania United. (Damn you Nadeo and your un-decompileable file formats!) :)

That explains why it looks so bad: it's on the Wii & DS! I don't want to sound I'm hating on these systems-I love them!-but it seems like third parties always push their crap on Nintendo's systems. Only Nintendo's first party games do well consistently. I still remember the cutscenes from Speed Racer on the PS1 based off of the original cartoon; it had the theme song and it looked just like the show. I never played the game, but I'm sure it was faithful to the source material, yet the game sounds to me like another average racing game. And this new one is from Warner Bros. Games(?!), the same people that made the horrible Matrix games, including Matrix Online. I have a horrible feeling that they'll mess this up too, and if the movie itself is bad, then there will be millions of dollars wasted and millions of people's childhoods dumped on!

Why does my mind keep flashing the words "bomberman Zero" when I look at this?

Does this remind anyone else of Extreme-G Racing?

I think I'll pass on this one.

Looks A LOT like some of the trippier tracks in F-Zero GX (one of my most beloved games.)

My first thought was "those graphics aren't very good". Then I saw Wii and DS at the end. OK, that makes sense.

Do they still talk super duper fast in the movie like in the old show? As if they were on some kind of speed^n?

Anyway looks crazy, like F-Zero GX but with wheels.

And Witzbold if it's going to be like F-Zero GX, it's going to be extremely cheesy. =P

Looks like they've transformed it into one of those filthy cheap Hot Wheels games :S This preview is also in need of the classic song.
