Sony will just shut it down, seize his code, and then release it as paid content. He has no legs to stand on. It’s a damn travesty.
Should have just made a spiritual successor
This is more of a preservation thing, I think. The guy is clearly not interested in the theft or harm of the game. He’s doing this because he thinks this old-ass game is so good that more people should play it.
To be fair there are already quite a few of those. Pacer (which used to be called Formula Fusion), Redout, and BallisticNG are all already out
Redout is a bit closer to F-Zero, BeamNG is definitely a full blown Wipeout clone. It got even the pixel look from the first game.
Still not the greatest presence on the PC for this genre, unfortunately.
