Technically it's not a new IP, it's the IP that gave Milestone notoriety (initially as Graffiti for Screamer 1 and then Milestone from Screamer 2), and even so, I don't think it's unjust for a new release, whether a new IP or not, to ask for the standard RRP of games in this day and age, especially if it delivers, which it seems Screamer is. It's also £5 cheaper than Crimson Desert which is a new IP for an immediate comparison.

Modern game development isn't cheap, they've enlisted proper voice actors, a well known animation studio for the cut scenes, created an entirely new racing concept and given it some actual substance, a 20 hour campaign and more.

We complain that the game industry is lacking new ideas, not innovating, getting stale, especially in racing games with everything pitching itself as a sim or based on a real series with barely anything setting them apart from eachother (other than which one has the fewest issues). Yet when someone innovates, does something new, exciting and actually pulls it off with good critical acclaim, we complain that it costs too much, and then wonder why no one bothers to do anything interesting or new.

I absolutely agree with you and I applaud Milestone sticking their head out with something different. I am simply not that optimistic for the game doing well but I hope to be proven wrong since I am fond of arcade racers too. I have had this on my radar since quiet a while but the 2 stick handling is just a no-go for me personally. I don't want to invest the time to learn it and I find it too risky for the money. If it had a conventional option added I would have been much more open towards this.

Once more I am not negatif towards the game but hesitant. I really dig the whole setting, story, teams, looks, sounds but it's too timeconsuming to get going and besides it's not the only game I play. With limited time added up...1+1 is 2.

I definitely keep an eye out on its progress! Happy screaming for those who jump in. I sincerely hope it is worth it!
