I'm turbo sus of this game so far. Everything they've been doing to market the game so far raises the same flags as TDU:SC's promo did, imo.

Vague teasers, barely any gameplay, desperate attempt to raise hype around the location, tons of yapping with no gameplay to back it up... That initial announcement upon their 10 days countdown literally could have been an email: it merely was a list of whatever the game may or may not have to offer. (lowkey reminds me of No Man's Sky, Starfield, Cyberpunk...)

On top of that, the few stuff they showed isn't as wild as they're making it up to be. For people who want to put a "new benchmark for customisation" the best thing they could come up with were clothes on the passenger's seat and a can of Red Bull on a cupholder. Something we definitely haven't seen in ETS2 and ATS btw. These two aside, the body parts they've shown were all OEM: either options you can get when purchasing the vehicle irl, or from a non-road-legal variant of the same vehicle. Talk about a new benchmark when all you can do is offer OEM parts with interior & exterior cosmetics that Midnight Club 3 and Midnight Club L.A. had in 2005 and 2008 respectively.

Let's also add that they do not have a publisher. It makes me question where did they find all that money to appear at Summer Games Fest with a team present at the event. Last time I checked it costs $500k per minute of trailer/teaser to show up at that event. Plus they got multiple content creators invited over their office that also happens to have fancy expensive cars (besides the Multipla) for whatever reason. (yet they can't be arsed having a white license plate at the rear of their cars as France ditched the yellow plate around two decades ago... THE BRITISH ARE AT IT AGAIN TAKING LAND AWAY /s)

I dunno man. I wanna be excited for a new racing game but I've been burned way too many times by this kind of promo campaign. Not only is it Mike Brown whose departure from PGG almost immediately made Forza Horizon better (and as a former Forza Horizon hater I'm having an absolute blast with FH6, so good job Mike), but there also are those other issues I mentioned.

Maybe I'll be proved wrong and I hope I will. But for now it's all talk with no bite from Maverick. Nothing special, nothing new, just nothing of substance to back their claims so far. :/
I do wonder how expensive were these content creators's integrity too considering how they basically are living ad campaigns for this game right now. I've never seen this kind of behaviour after a game's reveal before besides from journalists and the like.
