Color me slightly interested.

I'm looking forward to the sequel Canadian Drift Master which features Moose dodging, Drifting threw the Tim Hortons drive for your coffee, and getting out to apologize to motorists that you accidentally graze during the race while obeying all traffic and speed laws while going 10 under the limit to be respectful of others.

Very nice, been waiting for this one since announced on GoG. Thank you for the demo which plays and looks great! Very glad when they said "open world" that it really is a large area to drive around and explore as you wish and not just a series of tracks.

I'll play more as I get time later tonight but this looks like a sure buy for me. I really need to re-learn how to drive in this one as the drifting is much harder than I've seen in other games where you're not really trying to do it.

I'm waiting for Japanese Rail Drift Master; the advanced rail tactics game.

Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine I am a drift master in my Subaru Impreza.

Sliding sideways on your side? ;-)

Better keep the drift mastering to games I guess :P Norwegian winter weather is no joke.

Gave the demo a try for a couple of hours.

First, the technicalities:
Demo is DirectX12 only, even if the game is listed as DX11.
Had a few issues with a gamepad not correctly registering the right side input, specially after a crash, but that could be something on my end as I changed the gamepad for one with a different protocol and it was fine. Was not in the mood to troubleshoot.
This is really more of a personal choice but messages like "your system is not supported because blah blah blah" or "the system does not meet the blah blah blah" are annoying.


The game is fine, and I'm saying this as someone who mostly don't like arcadish driving. This is not a advanced drift simulator of the sorts but it's not that easy to pull a properly drifted corner, it requires a bit of technique and finesse and I wasn't expecting that.
The car don't behaves like a real car, not that I wasn't expect it anyways but there seems to be two distinct modes, the "grip" mode and the "drift" mode while driving and the switch between the two is not seamless most of the time. The car start to negociate the turn and sudently it enters some sort of "drift" mode almost Need for Speed most wanted style.

It's kinda open world, where one can drive on the streets with some obtacl.., ahem, cars and some interest poins like home, car dealer and a few time trial races (some with traffic).
The car available is the Toyota Trueno Takumi's replica, and it seems there's a mission available "delivering Tofu"??? For those who don't know this is a reference of the Anime show Initial D, wich is one of the best "motorsport" related shows I've watched together with Ford vs Ferrari and World Fastest Indian movies.
The game is not really a Drift game but more of a 90's street racing scene simulator. Pretty much what one can see in Initial D.

The music, well, I turned off as soon as the game started and the car sound is fine although I wonder if there's turbo noises caus eneither the car had turbo originally, not the engine behaviour is one with a turbo. This made me wander if there's some recicled sounds. Is fine I guess.

I can't get my head around driving on streets on the left side!!!!!!!

So, it looks like it's a (pointless) remake of Street Racing Syndicate.

Thanks for the test drive. :)

I'm moderately interested.

I was very interested, and now slightly less interested after Dark_art_'s review.. though I might stlll buy it anyway.

I played this demo somewhere else recently and thought it had promise, I might have to check out the full game when it comes out, especially now that it's on GOG.

Is still the best or one of the best "racing" games on GOG...
Never played it but it looks similar. For a lack of better terms, it drives like a way less polished ~2010 Need for Speed.


It has it's fun moments and Drift Events are actually quite hard, at least for me.
The colision system is weird, sometime messing inputs, the moving obstacles (AKA other cars) aren't aware of you and there's no feel of wheight distribution while driving. Maybe I'm just too picky and wish the game was more of a simulator. Graphics are nice though.

TLDR: game is fine if you like Harley Davidsons.
