FlatOut Coming to 360

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.
