Also only a shitty metal instrumental plays while painting. Meanwhile the opponents can and have great liveries all over their cars. But you are limited to various sections of the car (Sides, hood, roof, trunk, and front fenders), can't change the base colour of the car, can't paint over pre-applied stripes, and can't change where your exhausts pops out of. You can only bump each category once so you won't be driving the starting car at mach-1 end game and features a basic Mario Itasha where you can chose any number of colours and nozzle size (how large the brush is). It's has a a nice selection of cars that can be basically upgraded and painted (you may even recognize some of them). Test Drive went from flashy sports cars to cars straight from the junkyard. Keep an eye on it if you liked the previous Bugbear developed games. It's currently in Alpha with 5 cars (WITH UPGRADES!), some race courses to drive on, 5 arenas to smash in, and both LAN and Online multiplayer. It's meant to bring back most everything related to racing from Flatout (the dartboard is decidedly gone except for the tech demo physics playground). It was released as a tech demo in 2013 and entered alpha in 2014 with release slated for late 2015. Taking the BeamNG physics engine and using it for sick demo-derby races. It was first shown under the working title of "Bugbear's Next-car-game" (look they're good at making games, not titles) doing what really any sane people would do. Anyways, Wreckfest is Bugbears return to games after years of dormancy, and haven been awaken by Bamco they set out to prove they've still got it. Not as generic a title as Flatout but weirdly not as catchy. Never intentionally purchase this game by itself. And it's the kind of souless "shitout-in-a-day" bad. The AI, physics, and collision detection (Which is pretty fucking important in a racing game, perhaps more then people realize) are all bad. All the parts are there, they're just bad though. But in the interim between ' some basicly unknown shovelware development team made a 3rd game. They only popped back up with the release of Unbounded (Which was less then stellar). But they sort-of went silent after '07 with the release of UC and a port of Sega Rally Revo on the PSP. Along with the failure tooįlatout 3: Chaos and Destruction (Of a series) įlatout has been Bugbear's baby and is basically what they're know for (Don't try and be a hipster and throw out Glimmerati as an example). It can be had in a bundle with the previous two games for 50 bucks on steam. Singleplayer's fine and is sutibly lengthy with four champion ships for the three classes and a final race for each class. It uses the now dead GFWL and unlike the previous two does not feature LAN. Unless you want to play multiplayer on the PC. IF you want a Flatout game then this is the one to pickup. Also revised crash physics, additional game-modes, and a different soundtrack. Graphics aside the game is an update to 2 with extra tracks and two new cars. So Flatout Ultimate Carnage came out on the Xbox 360 in '07(A mere 2 years instead) and the platform change shows, damn that's pretty. While the Flatout games look great, they DID come out on rather old consoles (at least in terms of computers, 5/6 years for the PS2 version). You can also manipulate your impromptu cannonball, but be careful as as you'll slow down, reducing your distance which can be a hindrance in the minigames.Ĭar selection is vastly improved over the first thanks in part to the separate classes.īit ironic to throw new paint on a junk-heap The ragdoll physics also got improved and you'll notice your driver (or someone else) go sailing after a particular nasty crash during a race (where Flatout 1's ragdoll stuff was contained to the minigames). They are split up into three classes: Derby, Race (which is weirdly second-tier), and Street, all of which can be upgrades in various ways. Also you get to drive cars that could possibly be registered with the DOT. While Demo-derby racing is still featured, you can take it to the streets of. As should be of all good sequels Flatout took the original recipe and added a pinch of salt and Cayenne pepper. Feel free to compare this to UC that's posted laterįlatout 2 was relesed in '06 on the same consoles as the first.
