WOOO!
I’m looking forward to this!

What kind of racing style is it going to be like? Mario Kart, Lego Racers, F-Zero, Burnout, or Other?

I think (not entirely sure) they want to stay away from Mario Kart style.

oh yis

I hope that they’ll create 2 modes like Simulator and Arcade

That’s a shame. I figured the party setting of Mario Kart would be an ideal match for Tower Unite.

I’m sure they’ll keep some elements the same. Looking back at Source Karts, it had the weapon drops and everything.

They said before that they didn’t want to remake Source Karts (by remake, I mean in the same vein as Virus, Minigolf, and Little Crusaders, which are essentially extensively cleaned up ports of their GMT counterparts). Only the devs really know exactly what’s planned for Accelerate (if they even have a plan yet), so I wouldn’t say that a Mario Kart inspired game is out of the question. Of course, it could also go the complete opposite direction of Mario Kart, but that’s just the nature of not knowing what’s ahead.

I personally loved Source karts style as First Person Mario Kart and I’d love it if that would also be in Accelerate
