A few FAST Racing Neo technical tidbits
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 7 Comments
Over the week or so, Shin’en has been sharing a few technical tidbits about FAST Racing Neo. The studio interacted with fans about the game’s frame rate and more.
Here’s the full roundup:
@MaxWill37699872 Yeah, streets took a lot of resolution. Tho biggest textures are used for the shadows.
— Shin'en Multimedia (@ShinenGames) September 24, 2014
@CrucialSloan 60fps (with minimal dips here and there that we try to iron out)
— Shin'en Multimedia (@ShinenGames) September 24, 2014
@realkeithmartin Cinematic Tonemapping, Motionblur, SSAO, HDR Bloom, Atmospheric Scattering, Godrays etc
— Shin'en Multimedia (@ShinenGames) September 25, 2014
@realkeithmartin Smoke and mirrors all over the place, otherwise we would be at 20fps.
— Shin'en Multimedia (@ShinenGames) September 26, 2014
@AVahne @realkeithmartin No, we use realtime soft shadows. So we can have dynamic weather and the games size is much smaller.

@HylianCIA @ShinenGames It's realtime. As a race is just a few minutes there are not much visible changes, beside some clouds moving.

@CrucialSloan SSAO is by definition dynamic, tho it's (almost) impossible to get working in 60fps 😉 Technically: Every console is outdated

How FAST Racing Neo will improve upon its predecessor
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
With FAST Racing Neo, developer Shin’en will be looking to make a few improvements to the game’s predecessor.
First, phase switching has been “streamlined” and it’s now “more fun to use.” Shin’en also adjusted the AI so that it’s more human-like.
Shin’en Manfred Linzner told Nintendon:
First of all we analyzed what people liked and disliked in the original Wii game. For instance, most people enjoyed the unique phase switching gameplay, because it’s something you have in no other racing game.
So we build on that but tried to make it more streamlined and more fun to use. Something most people disliked was the brutal difficulty in higher leagues, because the Ai was simply too perfect. We made sure that the Ai behaves more ‘human’ this time.
