Gossip: Tears of Themis - Was the 'Cool' Sports Car Scrapped by the Devs?

Recently, a funny behind-the-scenes revelation emerged from the dev team of 'Tears of Themis'. It turns out that an animated sequence was scrapped because it was simply too 'cool'—specifically, an over-the-top 'Initial D' style drift scene involving a sports car.

The footage never made it to the final game. Looking at the gif provided by the devs, you can see why it was cut: the car animation is so flashy that it completely steals the spotlight.

In the actual in-game footage, the car is nowhere to be found. Players joked that the car was simply too distracting; if it had been included, nobody would have been looking at the heroine anymore.

The community reacted with amusement, comparing the map creation process to a housing editor and poking fun at how hilarious the intense car animation was.
