Bugbear and THQ Nordic wheel out new take on Destruction Derbalikes
Ah, you can almost smell the burning rubber. Real cars involve rubber, correct? The trailer is a mixture of live-action shenanigans and in-game footage of horseless carriages despoiling each other. At a THQ Nordic preview event earlier in the week, I also got to see a bit of the game’s car customisation - a “big new feature”, which lets you paint individual car pieces and adorn them with decals, impact damage and rust. Goodness knows I’d hate to get wrecked while piloting a shabby motor. As for modes, expect a single player career, multiplayer, tournaments, regular challenges via game update, and modding support.
“There’s so much fun in this, and it manages to make failure an entertaining element of racing, which is a trick all too rarely pulled off,” he wrote. “Wreckfest is a splendid antidote to the po-faced severity of the current crop of Need For Speeds, Crews, and so on. It holds its own in that competition, while delivering something far more specifically its own.” I’d argue that Wreckfest 2 has less competition - both the Need For Speed series andThe Creware on the backburner, giving this juiced-up road-rager a clear run at our affections.
