Oh boy. One of my absolute childhood favourites. I will be all over this providing they don't screw it up.

Is nobody remastering Speed Freaks then? :(

I'd love to even just be able to buy Speed Freaks and Micro Maniacs on PSN in their original format.

Speed Freaks was an absolute gem.

Looks like there's a lot more content being crammed in here than just the base PS1 game. Good stuff.

Eagerly awaiting my copy, but I won't be around to play it over the next couple of weeks. :cry:

Can now confirm that this is brilliant. I don't think I've ever seen such a lovingly done remaster. The handling and controls are perfectly preserved, the graphics are excellent, the additional elements they've added in with character design and animation are all just perfect.

There's a fair few extra tracks from the sequels (which aren't as legendary but are still a very welcome addition) plus a whole bunch of characters to unlock from the sequels and kart customisation options. No microtransactions in sight, everything is bought on the in-game store using currency you earn from playing. They've even confirmed some DLC seasons which will add further characters and tracks all completely for free.

In the spirit of a forgotten age of gaming it even has cheat codes!

Can't wait to take it online when my internet is restored. Single best kart racing game ever made.
