Racing Platforming Hybrid Distance Enters Early Access Today
Distance, one of the highlights of my indie booth exploration at PAX earlier this year, enters early access today.
Distance recalls the aesthetic and gravity and speed defying physics of games like Extreme-G and F-Zero, with the addition of flight and a jump button. I enjoyed my time with the game at PAX and was happy to see the game announced for PlayStation 4 recently.
To jump in the game early is $19.99 (currently discounted to $16.99). You can find the game's Steam page here. You can check out the game's early access trailer below.
Our Take
In general, I am not particularly fond of paying for a game early to play an incomplete version. I understand the benefit from a developer perspective though, and am excited to see Distance moving along its development smoothly.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
