I'm excited for this. Let's hope it doesn't take 4 years like nextcargame :/
THQ Nordic bought Bugbear in 2018 so the funding is at least better than in nextcargame’s early years.
Yeah I'm sure it'll be fine. I jumped on Nextcargame very early and those first couple years were real slow going...
Ohhhhh this has me amped. Bugbear is a solid studio and OG Wreckfest was a very good game.
btw FlatOut 2 got an update last summer.
The update restored Papa Roach's Blood Brothers? Holy shit, I love them. I had no idea this was a thing.
Didn't know that. It took me quite a while to realize Bugbear made Flatout as well lol
The first game is a blast with friends, so I hope the sequel follows suit.
I really liked wreckfest. I am not a big fan of early access, so I will cautiously wait for the game to be released to gauge my excitement.
Yeah, that's always a good plan.
early access you say.... i thought we dont do that anymore and rather ask the publisher to release a complete product instead of a beta version.
What's the multiplayer situation like for these games? They don't list LAN in the features for the first game, but there's mention of it in the Steam forums, and I'm not sure if it was removed or something. Presumably no split screen?
The first game has online servers that people host. Usually a blast. The occasional crybaby host. I have spent many nights just crashing into my buddy and trying to take each other out of each race.
Sometimes we will just look for an empty server so we can mess around "alone".
I don't believe it supports split screen and I haven't tried LAN.
The single player campaign of the first game took longer than I expected and was harder than I thought (if you care about getting 3 stars on all races). Some of this races you need a fast light car to win, but the challenges require you to take out a bunch of people meaning you have to do it really intelligently while not losing too much paceborndestroyijg your unarmored race car for example.
Unless they really botch this game (kerbal 2 style) I think this second one will be even better than the first.
No split screen, lan is a ton of fun. Online is entirely server browser, which is fine except that you need to port forward to run a private lobby. I'm hoping this one makes private matches a bit simpler.
