The theme for tonight's screenshots is environment. With racing games, the environment that the player is immersed in is sometimes not given much thought besides that of the track. In a game like Baja: Edge of Control, that's not an option - as in many cases there isn't a defined track. The racers make their own way either by the carved out trails and highways, or through the back country, and this presented a unique challenge. The environment then had to be uniquely detailed and sculpted to resemble what one would encounter in the California peninsula.
Baja Edge of Control coming digitally to Xbox One, PS4.
It’s no secret that the Xbox 360’s lifespan is coming to an end, meaning we’ve got an extensive library of games to sort through and possibly trade-in to GameStop or EBGames. Because of this, used Xbox 360 games are incredibly cheap, and a lot of people might be spending this summer adding those last few games to their collections.
Time to round up the best racing titles in a Top 10 run down.
There are games with niche followings, and then there are games that absolutely nobody played. Baja: Edge of Control is one of those games.
Lost in the skyrocketing popularity of Call of Duty and Halo, Baja: Edge of Control quietly landed on store shelves in late 2008, a month before the two major shooting franchises released their yearly variations. And it sat there. After six months, those copies were moved to the bargain bin, and eventually, GameStop. Today, over five years after release, online leaderboards struggle to show more than ten or eleven people with registered lap times at most tracks. Online itself was a ghost town since launch day. People simply didn’t buy this game.
And that’s a shame, because Baja: Edge of Control is a title that any motorsports fan shouldn’t hesitate to add to their collection.
although it's already late to the off road party, it's interesting to see how it will perform! first PURE and then this! I know a lot of PS3 owners prefer Motorstorm!
Well Blademask not all PS3 owners think like that. I for one enjoyed the pure demo and have it on preorder aswell as motorstorm 2. Will be getting both as day one buys. So yeah i kinda agree with you but this is one person who can except a decent off road racer that hasent got motorstorm in the title.
