Drift Stage

(Deutsch) Habe die neuste Version des Game 0.5.0.4 getestet was zeitnah auf Steam erscheinen wird. Das Spiel habe ich auf dem Indie Game Fest 2026 in Köln gespielt. Als der neuen Version könnt ihr Local, Arcade und Multiplayer mit eurem Smartphone das Spiel steuern, ihr benötigt keine App dafür. Eine Zusammenarbeit mit Mobile Joypad. Man hat drei Strecken zur Auswahl und einige Fahrzeuge. Bis jetzt gibt es leider in der Acarde Einzelmodus noch keine CPU Gegner da fährt man leider noch alleine. Beim Multiplayer gibt es noch keine Sitzungen aber wenn ihr zu 2-4 Leute seit wird das Game spaßig werden mit dem neuen mit dem Smartphone zu steuern, jeder hat schon ein Smartphone und manche können dann auch mit dem Gamepad auch spielen. Es ist noch weiter in den Entwicklungen im Gameplay sieht und hört man wo noch Fehler vorhanden sind. Wenn man auch von der Strecke fliegt ist noch ein Respawn auf die Strecke zurück dann muss man das Rennen neu starten. Ich werde es weiter verfolgen und wenn Lust habe es weiter zu spielen wenn neuere Updates kommen.

I played the game at the Indie Game Fest 2026 in Cologne. With the new version, you can control the game in Local, Arcade, and Multiplayer modes using your smartphone; you don't need an app. It's a collaboration with Mobile Joypad. There are three tracks to choose from and several vehicles. Unfortunately, there are currently no CPU opponents in the Arcade single-player mode, so you're still driving alone. There are no sessions in Multiplayer yet, but if you're playing with 2-4 people, the game will be fun with the new smartphone controls. Everyone has a smartphone these days, and some can even use a gamepad. The game is still in development, and you can see and hear where bugs still exist. If you crash, you respawn back onto the track, but then you have to restart the race. I'll keep an eye on it and will play again when new updates are released. I'll keep an eye on it and will play again if I feel like it. The link to the gameplay: https://youtu.be/YlhK2ty43f4

I don't know what they did since the beta, but those cars sound horrible now. Unplayable horrible

It's a complete and utter miracle beyond modern science and knowledge that this game actually exists and we have it in our hands, even if the build we can buy and play is a complete dumpster fire. The backstory on how we got to this point is something you see movies get based off of. This game is broken and unfinished but I'm just here to support the fact that, finally, the right people have total control of the game. It's not ever gonna fully recover from the tarnished reputation, and it may never actually live up to the hype the original 2014 demo showed. But, in the future of 2026, games can be given a 2nd chance. This is how Charles and Co can prove that after a terrible, horrible, no good car crash, you can still rebuild and make it run again. Read about what happened, it's like The Social Network but for an indie racer, kinda: https://driftstageofficial.com/pdf/ds_statement24.pdf For the devs: when you put out new builds, I [i] highly[/i] recommend you offer a demo that lets people unsure about the game's mixed reviews see the game's improvements. It's currently a very, very hard sell at $10 for what's essentially a non-working project. I do have hope though. I think we really need some right now.

guys are you ready

didn't this game used to have actual decent drifting physics? the cars are so slow and the maps are so big i can barely find anywhere to actually drift now... not to mention fighting with frame caps just to not have the world's most buggy audio imaginable... edit: the only map with any driftable corners is the original eventide highway track. also the dev abandoned the project yet again under the excuse of "looking for publisher"

needs some patches and upgrades cons *assigned racing keys wont save they always reset if you exist game or go all the way back to the start screen *no Bot versus only split screen, does have online multiplayer (nobody online tho) *no down hill drift stage map *only one game mode, would benefit from power ups more arcady fun game modes like mario kart *the stage selection all have the same thumbnail (i was playing this on a 5 in crt) so you have to read the stage name pros *aesthetics and music 10/10 *nostalgia effect +10 *car handling and selection 10/10 *maps 8/10 could use a few more but he included ones would make outrun proud *low price *1.88 mb could almost fit on a floppy disk not sure if thats what they were aiming for *absolutely full of fun potential if they actually patch it up and add a few game modes Yes i recommend this game, its one of those indie games that had massive potential if they had just finished it 8 years ago
