Default Listen to kc vale!

1C

I have followed the development of Full Drive 3 (or Off road Drive 3, or 4x4 3, or Four Wheel Drive 3 [why so many names for this one game circulating out there?]) for a few years now, and know of the struggle your development team went through to actually get it out to the public. I know you want this game to be a huge success, and it COULD be your biggest game. If you want this to happen, please, for the love of God, listen to KC Vale. No one has a better handle on what will make an off road game live forever than KC!

For my part I hope you have really solid force feedback wheel support, some kind of free roam multiplayer options, solid physics (maybe arcade and sim modes), and most importantly allow the modding community at least access to the game code to mod/ create vehicles and environments. Even better would be to develop actual tools for talented modders to make the game more expansive.

Oh, and please release the damn thing in the US widely so it's EASY for us to give you money for it.

We can make this game live FOREVER if you let us.

KC, if you are reading this, I remember your enthusiasim with Asobo and Grand Raid Off Road, and subequent disgust over it's demise. You know that it turned into the biggest wasted opportunuty in all of gaming, "Fuel", right? That amazing open world, ruined by (what I imagine) some corporate drones wanting it to be more edgy to attract the 15 year olds. "Let's turn it into Mad Max - The Game"!

With the history Avalon has with the full drive series, I think they are less likely to dissapoint. Leta cross fingers, and support these fantastic and obviously dedicated coders.

Ya bud, we have sure had out share of 'fancy hype trailer' disappointments over the years.

Even the ones that actually made it to market like CRC flopped.

I have no choice but to take this game with a grain of salt too.
No developer input at all so far is usually a bad sign.

(shrugs) I've worked with the best and the worst.
I'll know what 3C-Avalon is in a week or so.

Still nothing from the devlopers. (sigh)

If we need to chalk this one up as yet another fancy trailer video but no real game so be it.

Post Hello, everyone!

I've read all yours posts and I saw a lot of concerns in them. And it is great to see people who really interested in Off-Road games, as we are!

I represent 1C-Avalon.
We gave a huge 4x4 game community in Russia (on russian forum and social networks), and I assure you that community' opinions really matter to the company.
Through the whole 4x4 Game Series we interacted with our community and with their help we have been developing the games for about 5 years.
10 projects of the game series (including different add-ons) were released in Russia.
The title Off-Road Drive is the next significant step in the developing of 4x4 simulatiors for the company.

Now I am preparing smth like FAQ to what I read here, and as it ready I'll post it here. Also, I'll post here some new screens and video. So feel free to ask me anything about the game, together we can identify what features need to be explained more detailed, and maybe I ll make some special articles on them.

Sweet ;-}
Of course a Russian based company is going to cater to it's crowd first, just consider me the completely unofficial spokesmen for the US and Canada.

My 'Wish List' topic here has most everything we would really like to see.

Post Short list on some questions

Well here it is. If you want more information, plese ask!

Release date
Q2 2011.

Manual car settings
This kind of tool is in plan, but I can’t say any details.

Different brands of cars
There will be several tuned cars on the basis of Wrangler and some other famous cars, but we don’t have the right to use their brands. So there would be very familiar vehicles with different names.

Damage system
This system is under construction, so we hope to make extended damage system with diverse characteristics. Different damage will cause different effects on the vehicle, and ,of course, we work on the visualization of such damages - the scratches, dents etc.

Sound
The sound that you heard in the video is not in the final quality. It will be set up in a high quality soon. And also we plan to make the unique sound of an engine in each vehicle.

Free-roam
You will have to run your vehicle within the certain limited tracks, but there will be areas when you are free to choose the better turn, or the alternative route. And in some cases it will help you to finish with better result. But in other you will be punished, depending on the rules of the championship.

Return button
It works automatically only if there is no possibility to get out when you stuck. And you can use it any time when you think that it is better to return.

Multiplayer
There will be multiplayer mode (LAN and Internet hosting as well).

Duel “1x1” mode
There will be special Twin-track mode, when 2 players run the same time. Also there will be possibility of duel in Sprints and Trials.

System requirements
They are standard, as requirements for games with Unreal Engine 3.
And it is preferable to use Nvidia card.

Championship locations
During the game you will participate in the off-road championships in the Thailand, Malasia, Russia, Africa, and North America

Tracks with snow, and different kinds of quests in the game, and Game Editor
These issues are not in the plan, but we may return to them when we done others. And if have got the idea what is the better way these features should be realized, please write me.

Plese join us on Facebook _ http://www.facebook.com/offroadgame
