Flatout IP for VR, but how? Reboot? Unique VR game? I'm fine with the IP but HOW they use it I question. No throwing the player type Jackass moments from Flatout 2 in that trailer that's for sure.
I have never played the 1st/3rd game though only 2nd on PS2 (not the 360 more content/HD version).
For a cockpit sure, but what derbies, what other modes (as if modern gaming isn't boring enough for racing games with how they handle their modes which usually do the bare minimum and are 'fun enough' but always feel lacking to me when playing plenty with more fun unique modes or mechanics then just look cars/trucks, etc. and just motorsport licenses.
Wreckfest is good but to me still very modern but not as fun. The lack of licenses is totally fine with me but to me it still needed more than just look we have a motorised sofa and a few others with races/derbies and upgrades even beside the fair amount of tracks. It needed more interesting mode types is my problem with modern gaming.
Dirt 3 even if not as good as 2 was more fun then the more dull 5 is of modes that's for sure. Let alone objectives.
I'm interested but not by brand name but by POTENTIAL. If they actually do something with it to be worthwhile.
The more retro games I play, research and enjoy their modes, physics, arcade thrills and more the more my expectations are.
That publisher hasn’t done anything particularly interesting or good with FlatOut since Bugbear left after FO2 and FO: Ultimate Carnage.
Been quite a few poorly received FlatOut games since then.
Maybe try Trail Out. That stepped into the gap for those wanting something a bit more like classic FlatOut than the Wreckfest games.
Hopefully you enjoy Trail Out and possibly even Wreckfest 2 in the future.
I'm hopeful for Wreckfest 2 or Wrecreation but I don't have like wishes for them at all of what they will offer. Though I did post my thoughts in the THQ Wreckfest 2 comment section but doubt anything matters anyway. Nothing wrong with posting anyways, no matter what is done with reading comments on articles/elsewhere. XD
Trail Out I don't think I've heard of. Like sure OnRush I did as a MotorStorm successor and enjoyed it offline. Gravel was fun to me enough as a game show rally game. Dangerous Driving I'd heard of as a Burnout successor. But Trial Out not heard of or it isn't coming to mind of something I remember at all. I don't just look for successors just what seems the most interesting.
I'm enjoying Full Auto 2 on PS3 at the moment with it's circuits, objectives, weapons and arenas. But I did Blur as well and haven't gotten into Split Second other than PSP emu trialing out.
I'm intrigued thanks for the recommendation. :)
