Heading into IAAPA2014, Sega Amusements has launched a new trailer for their upcoming Showdown racing game, this time to promote the four different game modes that it features. The previous trailer was a quick teaser that did not feature any gameplay elements; this does not show the game from a “this is what I see when I sit down to play” perspective either but it does demonstrate what you can expect from the modes. From the trailer description:
Race-Off – A full-contact race to the finish line where the winner will leave a trail of destruction and wreckage in their wake.
Demolition – The rule book goes out the window – smash, bash and crush your way through a take-no-prisoners, last-person-standing, battle-royale of racing attrition!
Knockout – What happens when you hold a demolition derby on a platform 40 feet off the ground with no fences to keep you from being pushed off the edge? Pure anarchy, that’s what!
Crossroads – Throw a bunch of high-speed instruments-of-annihilation onto a wide open figure 8 track and you know what you get? T-Bones, and we’re not talking prime aged beef….
Given the four modes I am hoping I have a chance to get some hands-on time with each next week to share my impressions, which often can be a challenge at trade shows if there are long lines to jump onto a machine. Given this trailer, what are your impressions of Showdown so far?
Cabs look great but i’m still missing that SEGA spirit… technically it seems like it’ll be fun though… we need to see your hands-on vids :-]
