Now it\u2019s turning back time all the way to 1995 by resurrecting ground-breaking cyberpunk racer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/screamer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Screamer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The results from this first gameplay trailer show promise, but there\u2019s still work to be done before the title debuts in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>We get a glimpse of a futuristic cityscape, complete with bright neon lights and anime-style advertising boardings. The cars have got a hint of cel-shading to them, giving them a unique look. But we\u2019d like to see a greater sense of speed and more overall effects in the final version, because this looks a little bland as is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDrawing inspiration from anime and manga from the \u201880s and \u201890s, the game\u2019s narrative and visual framework will be its beating heart and soul,\u201d the blurb reveals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe game features contributions from industry-leading partners, including animated cutscenes created in collaboration with Polygon Pictures \u2013 one of the oldest and most renowned Japanese animation studios \u2013 and the acclaimed American actor Troy Baker, one of gaming\u2019s most recognisable voices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s ample reason to be excited for this one, then, and it\u2019s really refreshing to see a racer with a more stylised art direction. We just hope that Milestone can stick the landing come 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Subscribe to Push Square on YouTube157k Industrious Italian developer Milestone is perhaps best known for its realistic racing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":168218,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[70306,55,70307,53,739,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-168217","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-milestone","9":"tag-ps5","10":"tag-screamer","11":"tag-technology","12":"tag-trailers","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114649100663022680","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168217\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
