Table Top Racing Launches on PS Vita Today

Hi! Nick Burcombe here from Playrise Digital, the team behind Table Top Racing on PS Vita. You may have seen my blog post a couple of weeks ago — hello again, if that’s the case! Table Top Racing is out today, so I’m back to show you guys the brand new launch trailer…

As it’s launch day, I thought I’d give you guys a few tactical tips before you start revving your engines.

First and foremost, make sure you upgrade your car as you progress — otherwise you won’t keep up with the competition. Things get even more interesting when you start experimenting with Weapon-Wheels. In conjunction with the power-ups, the wheel weapons will give you a real strategic advantage, so think carefully about your selection before each race.

There are 17 fully upgradeable cars, all of which come with some cool skins. You start off with a choice between the Whippy Kai-Yay! Ice Cream Van or the Hippy Bathday Campervan, but in no time at all you’ll be upgrading through to the likes of Rally Cars, suped-up pick-up trucks and hyper-cars like the Veloceratti and the Baguetti Carb Injection — we had a lot of fun with the car names.

The on-track intensity increases once you start unlocking some of those higher level Championships. Once you start exploring the Special Events and applying what you’ve learnt about the Weapon-Wheels, you’ll soon discover those three start challenges that seem impossible are achievable with a bit of lateral thinking.

We hope you’ll have a blast playing the ultimate version of Table Top Racing on PlayStation Vita. We can’t wait to start hearing some feedback from you.

  • PICKUP WEAPONS

    MINES: You can leave these in the path of the chasing pack or you can use a mine/bomb to stop an incoming missile. The missle will be drawn to it rather than you.

    MISSLE: You can stop opponents in their tracks or you can blast mines out of the way

    EMP: You can zap multiple vehicles in a pack with these and you can also clear mines you’re abut to run into. Also if you time it correctly you can also kill an incoming missile.

    SPEEDUP: You can use these to maintain an advantage over the chasing pack and you can recover to full speed quickly after an EMP, missile or mine attack.

  • WHEEL WEAPONS

    BLING WHEELS: These wheels earn you more coins per skid – good way to get those upgrades

    PEACEBOMB WHEELS: Can be used to strip your opponents of all their weapons AND kill ALL active weapons on the track – be it mines or missiles. These refresh once a lap as you cross the line so use them wisely.

    CENTURION WHEELS: These are permanently fitted until you change them and they shred your opponents when you get alongside them – very handy for the narrower tracks – but don’t get in a clash with another car with these wheels or you’ll slow each other down.

    BOING WHEELS: These give you the ability to make a jump and find exploits in the tracks. You get one jump per laps and these refresh as you cross the line. Using these with the Bunny Mobile enables the Double Jump – handy if you’re trying to squeeze those 3-star special events.

    DRIFT WHEELS: These reduce the grip on all cars and are permanent until you change them – couple these up with a fully tuned Tokyo Zero if you want to be setting Drift High scores.

  • Be warned the AI can use all these weapons too so if you find yourself sudden without a picked up weapon – you can be sure one of the pack is wearing the Peacebomb wheels.

    Hope this helps.

  • When is this game going live on the Europe Store does anybody know?

  • Thanks for the reply + Z-U.

    Is there any chance of you guys adding the option to change the control setup in a patch? Having to deal with the rear touchpad is frustrating.

  • @Z-U thanks for that. was extremely frustrating having to try to figure controls out mid-race.

  • Is there any particular method to initiate a skid/drift? Noticed there’s an entire drift mode.

  • +colinpokeeffe – today when the store refreshes £4.99 or €6.99

    +Crosith – we thought it was well out of the way, but if we get a chance to update it we’ll do something. Sadly I can’t update it in a matter of hours or days over PSN – it would have to go through a full test cycle again.

    +shadow71 – completely understand and so I made this just for you http://i.imgur.com/aOwewXK.png

    +shadow71 – No, the drift mode has to be tackled in the Tokyo Zero car. If you’re serious about high scores you’ll need the drift wheels too. But the drift wheels are good in other races for earning more coins – couple this with higher prizes from playing Multiplayer race – as the host you could host a drift multi-player race and everyone will be coining it nicely. That was the option to buy coins is even less.

  • i am loving the game so far nick. i plan to purchase the $1,000,000.00 coin pack tonight so i can tackle some of the more difficult challenges.

    and just to think, i didn’t even realize this game existed until yesterday. thanks for supporting the vita!

  • So, I downloaded the demo on the webstore, and I went to buy the game and it says I can’t because I already bought it..

    Help?

  • +jwunorton09 – why thank you very much sir. Glad you found it and very glad like it. I hope you have a lot of fun with it.

  • +gus_xl We believe there was an issue earlier with the store listing if you bought it through the webstore or a PS3. You might have to ask SCEA PSN Store about the error you’re getting. I’m sure they can fix it for you – it’s beyond our reach that one.

  • Ah ok. Thanks.

  • @Z-U After 30 minutes on the phone the guy said he couldn’t fix it. I bought a bunch of coins instead.. What a weird glitch.

  • @Z-U Sweet. Someone’s got some mad design skillz for a CEO! =D

  • @shadow71 – Thanks you for the coin purchase – much obliged cobber.
    &designskillz – Well when there’s only 4 people in the office you gotta improvise. Chris would have done a better job ;)

  • Nick – Is it possible to make the “shortcut” jump in toys r’ asleep? I’m stuck on special events level 30 – Expert.

  • This is for anyone. For drifting – do you use the dual sticks or the left stick and x button. I’m having trouble getting long drifts.

  • +jwunorton09 I think it’s this one you want http://imgur.com/xYnyoL4
    Drifting – throttle on always full, drift wheels and tokyo zero. Have a shot at Moonlight Junk Heap reverse….my son has 552,000 on mobile, can’t wait to see what he can do on Vita

  • Thank you Nick! Your son has game.

  • He’d say he has “Swag” but I’m clearly too old to be using such words ;)
