Pod racing will return in an upgraded version for PS4 and Nintendo Switch, which will keep the essence of the classic Nintendo 64.
The galaxy far, far away is coming back to PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Following the release of Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy on these platforms, Disney is preparing to release a new version of Star Wars Episode I: Racer, which originally debuted on Nintendo 64 and PC. As confirmed by the study on the official Star Wars website, the team has worked to adapt and improve control.
In an interview published on the official Star Wars website, James Vicari, producer of the title, explained that they have modified the controls so that they work properly in the new systems. When he designed the original version, he says, they had to take into account the functionalities of the time, such as the vibration and analog sticks of the Nintendo machine.
"As with the Switch Joy-Con, what you want is to make sure the title plays well and allows for as many control variations as possible. We have done a lot of work to make sure the game feels comfortable in all its settings, including the ability to play with a single Joy-Con. ” According to Vicari, the team believes that the best control scheme is one that does not make you think about it. "That philosophy seeps into everything we've done" in that regard.
