Slipstream blue hour Expansion Official Trailer - Coming this Summer to PS4|5, XBOX, Switch & Steam!

🏎️Buy Slipstream at: BlitWorks Games together with ansdor are proud to announce the upcoming release of blue hour, a new expansion for the Outrun-styled Racer Slipstream that will offer 2 game modes, 3 cars and 5 new tracks with their respective 5 music tracks. Slipstream Celebrates its 5th Anniversary with this free expansion, which will be coming this Summer on all platforms, also natively releasing on Xbox Series S|X and PS5 Consoles! “The blue hour is a brief period of the day, after the sunset but before the night, when the sky takes on a deep blue tone. It’s long been appreciated by painters and photographers because of the beautiful and unique properties of light during this time. The fading light from the sun illuminates everything softly, and the deep blue sky creates a great contrast with the usually yellow-ish urban lamps. It’s a moment of natural beauty that happens every day. And as times of the day have always been a theme in Slipstream, in this expansion I joined forces with Effoharkay and took the opportunity to explore it a little more.” - Sandro de Paula aka “ansdor”. All the new tracks are set in real world locations, more specifically in exotic or unexpected locations in Europe: Marseille, Pompeii, Transylvania, Granada and Edinburgh. Ansdor’s skills have improved a lot since 2018 and he also added many new features to the Slipstream engine, and the new tracks make heavy use of them, like a fog system, a dynamic lighting system that allows cars’ headlights to illuminate the track in real time. The expansion looks like an early 32-bit game, while the original was more like a late 16-bit game. As a natural technical evolution, he wanted to try new techniques and do artistic experiments that weren’t possible in the original. On the music side, Effoharkay’s goal was to maintain some consistency of the same synthy vapor OST but without relying on synth sounding instruments. Most of the songs were inspired by the eccentric electric club-ish racing tunes of Ridge Racer 4, NFS, and Wipeout. He wanted it to be pulsing and driving and diverse, while not worrying about pristine production quality or structure. Arcade racer Slipstream is available on XBOX One, Series S|X, PlayStation 4|5 and Nintendo Switch at a price of USD | EUR. The game has been in development during 4 years by Brazilian solo developer Sandro Luiz de Paula (ansdor), who built his own custom game engine that recreates the sprite scaling graphic techniques used on 80s and 90s racing games to bring the real, authentic retro experience to modern hardware, taking advantage of the extra power to provide smooth, constant 60fps gameplay. GAME FEATURES: - Authentic pseudo-3D game engine with 2D pixelart graphics, just like the glory days of the arcade racers. - Local multiplayer up to 4 players split-screen! - Time rewinding - Now you can go back in time for a few seconds and maybe undo the mistake that led to a crash or bad move, think strategically, as this feature has limited availability. - Game Speed Control - Players can reduce the global game speed up to 50%, giving them more time to react to the race (and enjoy the scenery), but the physics and gameplay will remain exactly the same. - 20 Different tracks, set on a variety of exotic locations all around the world... and beyond. - 6 Game modes: 1. Grand Tour, a road trip through exotic landscapes, with branching paths and rivals to race against. 2. Cannonball, a freely customizable race mode with optional traffic, rivals and other racers. 3. Grand Prix, a championship mode with five races back to back and money prizes used to upgrade your car! 4. Single Race, just a race in any of the game’s 20 tracks. 5. Time Trial, a solo race against time. 6. Battle Royale, an elimination endurance race mode. - 5 Car models, each with its own specs and playstyle. - Original soundtrack with 9 exclusive songs. - A variety of graphical options to customize the game’s visuals, including 30fps mode, CRT and NTSC filters.
