  • Wow, it's been a fat minute since I uploaded a long video like this, anyway, I apologize for my sick-sounding voice at the beginning of the video and for the weird pacing of the vid, I'm still figuring things out, but I hope you guys enjoy it or find it informative anyway!

    Long story short. The made overdrive then moved their focus to Cozmo and vector. Eventually the lil ai pets became more popular and dropped their support. And eventually anki was changed to digital dream labs. They are remaking anki overdrive into infinidrive in the close future hopefully it comes back

      Anki died first then DDL picked up the pieces and did what they could for the dying brand

    Honestly I absolutely adored anki overdrive when I was ten, but even then I recognised many of its flaws. It makes me so happy that other people out there have yet to forget it, and that it's still getting a successor

    Man I loved Anni overdrive, i got it for Christmas when i was a kid and got great memories with it. By far the biggest problem wasn’t the battery life but the missing traction of the cars. They just wouldn’t stay on the track and you’d spend most of the time putting them back on instead of playing. And if you played the campaign you could just win if you didn’t put the enemy’s vehicle on the road agin because they would just drive so fast they dropped off.
    If they fix that it would be an amazing game for little kids like I was.
    I also remember the big trucks they brought out. They were even faster for some reason with better weapons and their own overdrive mode.
    That didn’t help eather.
    In my opinion you would need to build in little low resolution leds or such to signal a Landmine or the lasers you shoot. And make the race track way more magnetic and maybe put magnets in the tires as well.
    I don’t want to see this game die out it has so much potential

    Thanks so much for making this. Got a hugely overpriced set a few years back as a Christmas gift to fill some old childhood memories of their commercials, and they were garbage. Dead app, broken cars, barely working system, etc. etc. Had no idea what happened until I realized they must have abandoned ship or went bankrupt. At least there’s some new hope though!
