Hyperdrift: Turbo Racing

Hyperdrift: Turbo Racing is an arcade racing game inspired by retro arcade racing games such as Daytona USA and Virtua Racing. It has a cell-shaded comic book art-style, similar to Jet Set Radio or XIII. It will be released in July 2021 for the Playstation 4/5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One/Series X and PC via Steam. The game is a standard arcade racing game with three laps around a circuit. The selectable vehicles in the game are parodies of real life vehicles as to avoid copyright.

Gameplay
Hyperdrift: Turbo Racing's gameplay is similar to that of an old arcade racing games, with a third-person perspective. Players start off by selecting a vehicle and then a track or cup.. Each race features three laps of the track, with up to eight players competing to get to the finish line first. Player's can accelerate, reverse, and powerslide to get round sharp corners. By powersliding around sharp turns and corners, players can built up a 'Turbo' meter. When Turbo is activated, your car's speed will increase immensely and boost you forward. This can be very useful for long stretches of road or for when you need to overtake others. The longer you hold the Turbo button down, the quicker it will drain, so you must use it only when necessary.

Online
Up to eight players can compete online. You can play with randoms from across the globe in individual races or even tournaments or with your friends in private lobbies. Crossplay between different platforms is also available, but can be turned off in settings.

Game Modes
Single-Player - Race against seven other computer-opponents in a four-track cup.

Multiplayer - Compete with up to 4 people locally in either a track or your choice or a cup.

Online - Race against eleven others from around the globe.

Time Trials - Compete for the best time, and rise up through the leaderboards.

Vehicles
The game launched with 20 different vehicles, each parodying a real-life vehicle. New vehicles were added via free content-updates after the release. The primary and secondary colours of the vehicles can be customised in the select menu, and custom colour designs can be saved to the console for use later.

Power-Ups
After selecting a vehicle, players can select one of three power-ups to use during the race. During gameplay, a power-up meter will be displayed in the bottom right corner. By pulling off drifts, mini-turbos and slipstreaming behind other vehicles, you can build the meter. When your power-up is activated, the meter will slowly decrease by the second and the power-up will remain active until the meter is completely drained.

The three power-ups are:

Aggro - Activate Aggro and smash through and demolish oncoming cars to claim victory.

Wave - A small shock wave shoots out of the front of your vehicle. If it comes into contact with another vehicle, their acceleration will suddenly come to a hault.

Courses
The game launched with four cups, with four tracks per cup coming to a total of sixteen courses. New cups and courses were added via free content-updates after the release. Each track is loosely based or set in a real world location. Sunset Circuit - Race through the USA's #1 motor racing circuit!

Hillside Square - Drive through Rio de Janeiro, going down hills and dodging market stalls and trams.

Animal Kingdom - Drive through a zoo and observe the elephants and giraffes on the side of the track!

'''Loch Castle - Race near the beautiful Loch Ness and around the Loch Castle. You may even catch a glimpse of Nessy in the water if you are lucky!'''
