Fast & Furious: Arcade Edition Nintendo Switch Review 5/10 "Not a (Raw) thrill to play" 🛻🔥@CradleGames @GameMillEnt #GameDev #IndieGame

I don’t usually directly compare games when I discuss them, but I do feel that I have to open this review by saying that you can currently get a physical copy of the infinitely superior Cruis’n Blast on Amazon UK for twelve quid, should you so wish (and you should wish so). 

Fast & Furious is a console port of the 2022 arcade title, which was originally developed by Raw Thrills – who were also behind the original arcade version of Cruis’n Blast – and whilst the port to consoles has some brief action, it’s far too insipid to be a recommendation beyond a few minutes of simple fun.

I’m not too au fait with the Fast & Furious franchise, but the links here seem pretty tenuous – there are a few recognisable cars, and each of the six stages (which last around two / three minutes each) set the task of reaching the finish line and thwarting various events such as a missile launching, a bomb being detonated or a plane taking off. You can choose from a handful of supercars, and play with up to two players, but the issues reveal themselves quite quickly as you dive in.

How Electronic Arts Marketed The FIFA Football Video Games Over The Years PART III : FIFA 96 - [1995] ⚽ #retrogaming

Following on from FIFA 95 [1994] EA served up another set of iterations to the existing tried and tested
formula with FIFA 96 on SEGA Mega drive and Genesis that had tweaks to the gameplay based on what worked and didn't work in the extremely successful original game.

As FIFA 96 geared up for release, EA Sports also pushed the boundaries across SEGA’s hardware line-up to include the 3D ambitions of the SEGA Saturn and SEGA 32X and each version was now bringing something unique.

🌀 SEGA Saturn

The Saturn version of FIFA 96 wasn’t just a port—it was a reimagining. Developed by Probe alongside the PlayStation and PC CD-ROM versions, it aimed to redefine football gaming on 32-bit systems.

Key Features:

• Virtual Stadium Technology: A dynamic 3D environment with suspended cameras mimicking televised broadcasts.

• Stunning Presentation: A rendered cinematic flythrough of the stadium sets the tone.

• Advanced Camera System: Over 8 angles, including NetCam and tactical overhead views, plus full replay controls.

• Motion-Captured Animation: Real player movements translated into wireframe models, then rendered with lighting and team-specific palettes.

• New Passing Mechanics: Directional passing independent of player movement for smoother gameplay.

• Audio Ambitions: Plans for John Motson commentary with 7,000+ voice samples (pending Saturn hardware limitations).
