Star Wars Episode I: Racer is coming to Switch and PS4 later this year with multiplayer!

I don't like Star Wars, but I loved this game on N64. I recently bought it on GOG and will probably pick it up on Switch as well.
The dreamcast game isn't based on the naomi one developed by SEGA?
It's the pc version with 2 player split screen if I remember rignt

You are correct. The Sega version was never released outside of the arcades
No. In fact, the Arcade version ran on Hikaru (like Virtual On: Force and Planet Harriers). Those games didn't hit Dreamcast.
Sadly because I think I like the arcade version more.

Ugh, this is the same as Jedi Knight, stretched hud and all. No improvements over the PC release.

Is it me or do the ground textures look off?
Also, I have to say I'm disappointed (but not really surprised) by the lack of an Xbox port. I know some games are already available via BC (or could in the future), the lack of an Xbox port on some of these titles really stings.
Here's hoping that unlike the GOG/Steam release, I don't have to launch it a dozen times so it gets past the initial loading screen without crashing.
It's strange it looks like there's no texture filtering on those screenshots, are they based on the software renderer of the PC version or something? iirc, all the platforms the original launched on should've had bilinear filtering at least.
I guess it doesn't matter too much, hopefully it's just an early build being weird.

Agree! I was thinking the same, I hope it will present as option like in doom 64.
Unfortunately no online multiplayer but still good news, for 10ÂŁ I will take it!
My brother and I played the PC version a lot over LAN. I played single player the most on the N64.
Maybe stated elsewhere but I believe the PC version includes cinematic scenes between races, etc., whereas the N64 was stripped of that and was just "in-game" ... is that correct?
Quick aside: PS2 game is underrated; I suppose it had too tough of an act to follow but I still enjoyed it.
People said this direct was disappointing can you imagine?
The only reason I'm not gonna get this day 1 is I already have it by way of GOG so I don't need it. But I will probably get it for the local co-op options
Wait is this like a remaster or a really basic port? OP doesn't say and just shows screen grabs of the original... and it obviously looks like wank. Gimme this with modern enough graphics, give it a PSVR mode... I never played this but it sounds like it was really good, and I love racing games and the pod race sequence from the film!
Edit: Just checked out the link... what?! They haven't even sharpened up the UI.. why is everyone going nuts. This is barebones. Surely they could've spruced up the graphics at least a little. At least have tried...

This made me grin. Then I thought about other arcade racers from that era and remembered F-zero AX. That made me frown.
Awesome
I'd take a racers revenge port at least
Racers Revenge is on PS4 actually:
