FUEL: Weather is a "key player" in massive racer

Weather changes in open-world Codemasters racer FUEL aren't just cosmetic, producer Phil Wright's assured VG247. They're a "key player," apparently.

"For must games [weather's] usually just for effect, but in FUEL we wanted to make a feature of it as well," said the developer.

"Weather is a key player in the fictional backdrop of the game world, reinforcing the impression that there has been a shift in nature which has resulted in sudden and extreme changes in weather conditions."
