Star Wars: Galactic Racer launches on PC and consoles
i got custom music playing on the Steam Machine so i popped the Burnout Revenge soundtrack while playing Galactic Racer and it's kind of infuriating how dramatically it's bettered the experience
i'm very sorry to the composer and the Star Wars-y score but this is just the right vibe! it's the right vibe!!!
bsky.app/profile/mick... legit what've been asking for hahha
i genuinely thought they were at least going to do edm remixes of star wars music or something
I was trying to think what nu-metal would be called in Star Wars but it's kinda already correct.
The Redline soundtrack and the Wipeout soundtrack also pair really well
Hell yeah, Hand of Blood is one of the best Bullet for my Valentine songs. Totally forgot it was in Burnout Revenge, I remember it from NFS: Most Wanted [2005].
Huh, yeah, Star Wars: Galactic Racer is pretty dang cool. Who woulda thought that a big roguelite story mode was was the next special sauce to elevate Burnout? And it absolutely is Burnout wearing Star Wars pajamas, slow-mo takedown camera and everything.
Also, if you dig Galactic Racer for treating sci-fi racing as a proper motorsports league, and want something a little grittier, you might want to check out Exo Rally Championship. You've only one tank of thruster fuel to get you through each event, so you've gotta ration it between stages. Fun!
Check who lead the writing bsky.app/profile/writ...
it's a slick mix of Burnout, WipEout, and F-Zero, and I am HERE for it. this game rules.
It's so much fun! It's going to revitalize arcade racing just by itself.
Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset (2025): TIE Bolt, art by Evan Whitefield "Both engines are based on the TIE Bomber’s twin ion engine thrusters (ordnance pods), with TIE Interceptor wings mounted on each engine to give the vehicle a more aggressive silhouette."
"The cockpit functions as the control pod and was cut down and reworked to feel more dangerous, almost chariot-like in form. Additional elements (...) were carefully integrated to create a seamless fusion of podracer and TIE fighter design language."
This is such a fantastic visual that I’m surprised no one’s done it before.
Wait til you get to this level of newer Star Wars shit bsky.app/profile/luke...
my wife actually watched Rebels with me so I got away with that one
Rebels is pretty consistently good after the first season, even if it causes sideeye when other adults see you watching it.
I’ve been listening to the early @blankcheck.bsky.social episodes where they did a deep dive on the prequels, and I watched the first clone wars cartoon off their recommendation. Incredible stuff. Love the animation and story style.
look i wanna stress that i am not of the opinion that the star wars galactic racer score is unlistenable. I could totally be sympathetic to the idea that this is just some style guide requirement for all star wars media. but arcade racers have such a specific sound and culture attached to said sound
so that omission is kind of notable. in contrast, i have mixed opinions about sonic racing crossworlds' ost overall but it def understood that assignment a lot better and gives so many options and has huge variety, so i've pretty much exclusively played it with the BGM on at all times
it's weird that it comes off as a game that absolutely should have a dj stryker type but does not
