What do you think about the game?

[doordie]

What can I say? I have never heard about this game.. but it looks amazing. If it plays as good as it looks, it will be a huge hit!

I am a huge car-game fan.. I have played countless hours of everything, especially San Francisco Rush 2049 and Twisted Metal series.. (probably the best of their time) and I think this game blends the both nicely..

seeing the screen shots it reminds of of Trackmania but with guns!
or Wipeout but with 4 wheels on the ground!


maybe most accurately, it is this generation's Crash N' Burn .. the legendary game that almost no one could afford to play for the Panasonic 3do.

There have been many games like this through the years, so many that I don't even remember half of their names.. (and that's not counting the 2d ones from back in the day).. I can remember Interstate 76, Vigilante 8, POD Speedzone, Quantum Redshift, Burnout, Full Auto (probably the newest one for XBOX 360), etc... (You can even argue that Mario Kart has similar gameplay). All these games have their take on "car combat".. they have had different styles of game play.. all have left their mark.. but only a few have been truly fun to play. I hope when this comes out, it will go on that list.

this video is kind of rubbish though:

but I like the real-time New's thing..

Keys to this being a great game:
-Massively multiplayer. (like you didn't already know that)
-Control. In racing games control is everything. I understand it's not a realistic sim, but the car has to handle like it would if such a car existed..
-Music. If you remember correctly, this is what made the Wipeout (and Ridge Racer) series.
-Sense of speed. This cannot be like Sega GT or Gran Turismo or people will fall asleep and hit their heads on their desks. On the other hand it cannot be like some extreme levels of Wipeout, unless you want everyone who tries it to give up (except l33t hax0rs like me ). It has to be just right. For example Quantum Redshift had it best.. it was fast, like SF Rush, but when you got a nitrious, it was just crazy (whole screen would blur up). That was a very addictive part of the game.. and that feature has since been stolen in just about everything.

If you ask me. I'd prefer a more realistic game that takes place in modern times.. but since it is too late and the game is ultra-futuristic.. how about future cops? Like in the game G-Police. There's nothing cooler than cops on jet-packs and other floating things..

Keep us updated!!!
