Empire Interactive and Bugbear Entertainment have announced that FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage will be coming to the Xbox 360 in June. The game will effectively be a next-gen version of the million selling FlatOut 2.
The game has been re-built from the ground up and will include many Xbox 360 only features. The number of opponents has increased from 8 to 12. There are 5 new single player modes and 2 new multiplayer modes which can be played over Xbox Live. The number of "dynamic objects" has increased from 5,000 per track to 8,000 per track. All the cars will have "dynamic lighting and shadowing all with proper real-time environment mapping" and be made up of 20,000 polygons as opposed to 7,500 in FlatOut 2. Downloadable content is also planned.
"Hello again, Nevi here. I'm join by George and Harrison and this week we discuss the huge success of the Kingdom Death: Monster Kickstarter, I try to explain Final Fantasy to two people who don't know anything about the series, Final Fantasy XV and George preaches as to why FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage is the great racing game ever. Thanks for listening."
ASidCast: "There are times when you’ve got a lot of free time and very few games that you’d wanna play. This is a list of great games that one must play regardless of how old they get, and not playing these would just be a sin for racing fans. Most of these games revolutionized their genre and probably created their own genre in the process, while some were just too advanced for their time. If in any case you missed these, then you better search for these games and play them for a fun dose of gaming history or as a new experience entirely. "
Bad list, but to each their own.
No Forza Horizon, Driveclub, Assetto Corsa, or Grid Autosport?
And if you can throw in Trials when its not a racing game, why is there no Rocket League?
what shocked me was two games I loved during the ps2 era
JUICED and Street Racing Syndicate, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit
Then you have Forza 3, GT5, and the others you named above... smh
edit: and crazy taxi and trails aren't even racers lOl
Bought Grid 1 on pc for 2.50 last week, playing that at 4k60fps will make you feel nuts for ever spending 100's on racing games.
Says the guy who payed 100's on his 4k rig to play a racing game /s.
JK, Im sure its amazing in 4k... Its amazing in 1080p too so I can only imagine. You should try Grid Autosport, I actually liked that better than Grid.
I'll get it in a couple of years for 2.50. After I beat grid 2 and about 5 other racers I have.
@nowitski2004: I chose Project CARS over Assetto Corsa as a personal opinion,and Grid 1 over Autosport because the first one was great 'for it's time', autosport was good but just not that great.
Rocket League would actually be the next game if could make a longer list,really sorry on that.
@C-H-E-F: Juiced and SRS,are you serious? These are the games that defines the genre?
Hot Pursuit 2010 was Burnout Paradise with licensed carswith cops and wasn't even a better game world.
Crazy Taxi wins on the mobile platform,there are very few racing games on mobile with a open world. And the few there are,arent as good as Crazy Taxi. And racing against the clock makes does it a racing game.
Hardcore Gamer: It's a new week for some Steam sales, and there are some solid deals to be had.
I had a lot of fun playing Flatout online in the PS2.
Now just have to wait. Great news.
Sweet! Had a blast with this game on the PC at the LAN parties.
me too. i had so much fun with flatout 2 on xbox. played like a cross between burnout/motorstorm and IMO, had the best car crashes for racing games
Great game, this is XBox360s answer to MotorStorm, I have great faith in this game and the sales numbers speak for themselves...over 1 million games sold. I bet money that this does better than MotorStorm and is more fun too.
Should be fun.. hope the achievements are well placed.
