Anime Racer Screamer Shows Real Promise in PS5 Gameplay

by

As a passionate gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but appreciate the impressive work done by Milestone, the diligent Italian developer, renowned for its authentic racing games. However, they have recently ventured into uncharted territory and found success in bringing the vibrant world of Hot Wheels to our consoles. Now, they are taking us on a journey back to 1995, reintroducing the revolutionary cyberpunk racer, Screamer, which was initially groundbreaking at its time.

Based on the footage from the initial trailer, it appears that the game has potential. However, there’s a lot of development left to complete before its official release in 2026.

In the draft, you can see a sneak peek of a futuristic city with vibrant neon lights and advertisements reminiscent of anime. The vehicles exhibit a touch of cel-shading, providing them an exceptional appearance. However, for the final product, we’d like to amplify the feeling of speed and add more dynamic effects to make it less monotonous at present.

The storyline and artistic design of this game are said to be reminiscent of ’80s and ’90s anime and manga, serving as its core and essence, according to the description.

This game boasts collaborations with top-tier partners. For instance, Polygon Pictures, a well-established and highly respected Japanese animation studio, worked together on creating some of the game’s animated cutscenes. Additionally, Troy Baker, a widely recognized voice actor in the gaming world, is also part of the project.

This upcoming race promises plenty of reasons to look forward to it, and it’s quite invigorating to observe a driver with a unique artistic style. Here’s hoping that Milestone manages to execute successfully by 2026.
