"Running Kart: Drift" shows the latest real machine picture, can this old IP return the king?
Speaking of the game "Running Kart", it used to be a national-level phenomenon-level online game. However, with the collapse of the balance in the later stage, whether it is the body of "Running Kart" or its derivative work "Running Kart Mobile Game", the popularity has shown a state of plummeting. It is in this context that the emergence of the new game "Running Kart: Drift" has aroused the racing memories of many players. However, can this game bring back the old IP king of Running? Rabbit drivers don't feel that at the moment.
First of all, the official version of "Run Kart: Drift" has been jumping tickets for nearly a year. Microsoft once announced that the game will be launched in 2020, and now that 2021 is over, the game is still in beta. Even if the latest real-machine test footage is officially announced, it is difficult for rabbit drivers to be optimistic about the development progress of this game. You know, this video announces the simplest track and prop race, and the vehicle feels not particularly advanced. If it is a complex track plus a high-end vehicle, what kind of performance can be had, the rabbit driver feels that it is necessary to put a question mark.
Several of the selling points claimed by this game have a certain degree of problems in the eyes of rabbit drivers. First, Run Kart: Drift is said to be a game that can be connected across platforms. So how should the difference in operational difficulty between different platforms be compensated? Secondly, can the matchmaking mechanism of global battles provide players with a stable gaming experience under the low-latency game experience of racing games? Finally, will the addition of the seasonal system have an impact on the handling of the vehicle? These are the questions that Go-Kart: Drift brings to players, and these questions will not be able to know the answers until the game is officially launched.
When it comes to the quality of the game, the setting of the running kart is still commendable even today, more than a decade later. But the rabbit driver's biggest fear is that it will go down the same old road as the previous game and become a numerical game in which the performance of the new car crushes the old car. The first few works of this IP were all downhill due to the collapse of balance. Hopefully, this new "Sports Kart: Drift" can do a better job of balance.
If "Running Kart: Drift" can be launched as early as next year, rabbit drivers believe that under the premise of balance guaranteed, this work will still have a certain degree of heat. After all, this is the first time that the IP of the running series has crossed the Pacific Ocean, and the freshness of the new game coupled with the feelings of the old players should help to increase the popularity of the game.
