Developer Noctet Studio has launched the Kickstarter for the SEGA-inspired racing game Slipstream. Check out the campaign trailer below:

As you can see, the game is heavily influenced by games like Out Run, Super Hang-On and even things like Sonic 2 if you take a look at the casino-themed area. Noctet is only asking for $6000 and the game is due to release in March 2016.

If you’re interested you can click here and be taken straight to the Kickstarter. Early-bird pledges can grab a digital download for only $5 which is certainly worth a stab if you like arcade racers.

As if the release of Yakuza 5 wasn’t exciting enough, SEGA has also committed to releasing Yakuza 0 in the West.

There aren’t much in the way of specifics, but the game will be releasing in Western regions on PS4. There is some confusion as to whether the game will make it to Europe but the trailer confirms a European release while SEGA Europe are being indecisive about whether this is the case or not.

No release date or any details regarding a physical or digital release are available at this time. However there is a rather tasty announcement trailer which you can watch below:
