Wreckfest Review

[@peterfinaldi3251]

Man I thought these games were extinct. So happy a new great demolition derby game is made.

[@TheEagleofSteel]

You ever played forza online? Probably the best demolition derby game there is.

[@gavinr9356]

TheEagleofSteel hahahahahah that’s a funny one. Wreckfests is way better

[@RushStar93]

Made by the same people who brought us FlatOut all those years ago.

[@user-yr7mf3fr3e]

Its more like Banger Racing to be honest with the finish line

[@Railfan88]

I hope everyone spreads the word about this game, the developers deserve some credit.

[@CoyotePark]

Railfan88 thank you!! :)

[@LiquidSpartan117]

Theforbiddenname Z he actually is.

[@jdbruiser]

They deserve plenty of praise for reigniting a moribund breed of racing game.

[@Mmjgamer82]

How ? When the Logitech g29 or below WONT WORK WITH IT ??? It’s incompatible and takes away even more from a game that had so much potential

[@sj460162]

I see how the career lawnmower matches work where you rack up points...but the scoreboard for wrecking others doesnt seem to work in matches?

[@JCTiggs1]

The driving physics and damage model look incredible.

[@AlwaysLoudAA]

Please buy this instead of The Crew 2

[@TheSluggishChannel]

Adil this game is way more better than crew 2. Completely worth a buy.

[@lightbox8019]

Why are you begging people to buy another game that's only similarity is cars?

[@blakbear6528]

LightBox this one isn’t boring as fuck

[@jdbruiser]

Maybe it's because The Crew 2 sinks into typical Ubisoft untidiness. Big impressive worlds that are either boring, tedious or hard work to grab any enjoyment from.

[@sban8377]

You mean Screw 2.

[@lito1329]

Laughed so hard when he complained about the rock music what did he expect? classical music? techno music?

[@DedAlexFive]

I think the funnier part was the implication that the rock music was bad because it was really really loud or something.

[@crudboy12]

There is good rock music, and then there is pointless rock music. Clearly the reviewer felt this belonged in the latter category.

[@theNEWguy102]

The game does have crap music even if it is rock

[@lm_dccxl4078]

tbh the music in this game isnt so much good, but also they needed something lika a sound engineer because it sounds like they just paste a music player onthe game and called a day

[@Nihilian]

This is the only racing game where I've ever went to the settings to turn the music UP. Super refreshing soundtrack in a world full of forza horizon soundtracks.

[@abrahamlincoln2359]

Finally we get a proper demolition-derby game.

[@ChozoSR388]

Last proper Demo derby game I played was Test Drive: Eve of Destruction on the original Xbox.

[@rubinraj3365]

This game is surprisingly amazing! My fav demolition racing game after Flatout 2.

[@gregorywallace7614]

Same company / Devs

[@raresmacovei8382]

After FlatOut Ultimate Carnage*?

[@MAGGOTKnees]

BUT WHAT IF YOU LIKE HEAVY ROCK/METAL MUSIC!!!

[@6ch6ris6]

it's okay. not enough songs. you can play your own music as with every pc game though

[@nahailyenvanakkor]

Yeah, it's like a handful of songs. Nowhere near compared to the old FlatOut games. I hope they give us a proper soundtrack for the console release this fall.

[@Jambobist]

There's good metal and bad metal.

[@OTNOVSKY]

this looks soooo much fun

[@Lonewolf23-26]

OTNOVSKY it is! I’ve been playing it with both a wheel and controller and either way it really enjoyable

[@hotbahamasjobs]

OTNOVSKY buy it, it is tons of fun!

[@gregorywallace7614]

Bought this one in Early Access, each update has brought more fun and more destruction. The modding community is very active, so there are lots of things that can be added to the game as well. If you ever played Flatout / Flatout 2 then I recommend this game. Made by the same studio.

[@GatitoCarreras]

OTNOVSKY amazing physics why cant gta have these realistic graphics Great physics, car games should learn and have these type of physics

[@kaedenhnatiw438]

IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@manowar5516]

Better than the crew.

[@ark14700]

Much better collision and driving physics than that AAA title

[@phyrim7890]

you literally cannot compare. Two different games

[@PLPlolol1]

Phantom RaZiz but you can compare the handling the crew = arcade handling done wrong wreckfest = arcade handling done right

[@Hitman89plays]

this kinda reminds me of Flatout

[@rapbeast_one]

It's from the same people

[@zeantriox]

well it should.

[@ice_rydaa]

Thats because it IS the "spiritual successor" to Flatout as its made by the same devs.

[@eastern2687]

Hitman89 no shit pal?

[@agentscott96]

Made by the same people

[@slow9573]

Lawnmower racing? Sold.

[@joelalfveby7233]

A while back in early access the devs put out a poll for the players to see what music we wanted. The poll ended with (I think) rock/metal and edm being the top requested song styles

[@snekhuman]

“heavy rock obnoxious enough to turn off the music” sounds like you just have a bad taste in music

[@IDMYM8]

Nothing tops Destruction Derby, but this will do in this modern day!

[@HardlyBrandon]

Perfect game for 99% of the people that play any other racing game online, considering this is all they do!

[@kaz-mh8li]

2:03 you kidding me

[@singed420snowinit9]

That's pretty awesome lol.

[@nidavelliir]

"1/10 not enough microtransactions" ~IGN

[@darrenmc1986]

Couldn't agree more with that last line. I am not really a racing game fan but this is so much fun.

[@TheSnatchMagnet]

Hope this comes to consoles

[@Railfan88]

Comes out in November for PS4/Xbox1.

[@TheSnatchMagnet]

Hell yea, thanks for the info

[@Railfan88]

The 20th to be exact, and your welcome.

[@GrummanF-14BTomcat]

@@Railfan88 August 27 now

[@wolfy9549]

This game is bringing back ancient memories of the old stuntman game from ps2

[@RosettisRevenge]

Anybody remember Destruction Derby for N64?

[@spartan_a1176]

Smoke All Da Weed that was fun

[@biohazardboc]

I just remembered that destruction 64 does not have a tube and it's still a great game, although I think it could put limited turbo in wreckfest to give a good beat sometimes

[@ralphtaylor7448]

I remember Destruction Derby for the PlayStation (the n64 in that time was tartgeted to babies)

[@miguelrodriguez1750]

Yeah, in the Sega Dreamcast. Oh my childhood memories. 😢

[@DrWhitex]

Destruction derby for Sega saturn

[@Thomas-wo9ur]

The music is awesome! One of the main reason i enjoy bugbear games. the simple ui is also a thing that i love. it gives us the old flatout 2 feel. do you guys want just another generic racing game with generic music like nfs or what?

[@haav1004]

who remembers this game as ,,Next Car Game"?

[@resfan000]

What did you expect the music to be Justin Bieber. Lmfao. Society is so brainwashed with the view on music tastes it's a shame. God I love heavy metal! Rock on mah dudes

[@DrCat-vn4dx]

This is the unofficial Flatout Remake

[@Alex_Donnovan]

It's made b y the Flatout developers so..

[@christophermccormick5505]

Too bad the tracks don't reflect Flatout. Flatout had awesome themed tracks. These all look lame and same-y

[@Darkjazerant]

Has steam workshop support so dont stress about tracks

[@foist101]

+Christopher McCormick Luckily the devs are super open with modding so there's already a bunch of tracks on the workshop. The top pack alone has something like 50 tracks (including variants).

[@Totone56]

The Destruction Dervy 2 track pack on the workshop is amazing

[@6ch6ris6]

the only thing bad about the soundtrack is that there aren't enough songs. otherwise it's okay. and we are talking about a pc game here. just use your own music if you like.

[@DoctorCyrax]

They forgot to tell you, this game was made by the awesome dudes who made Flatout 1/2 & Ultimate Carnage. Ps4/Xb1 version coming out later this year!

[@TheEngiGuy]

Aaaaand it's delayed :c

[@SigmaLongshot]

That banjo track at the start of the video... IS GODDAMNED BLAST CORPS, AND YOU KNOW IT, GAME COMPOSER

[@crux891]

Then you need to learn the rules on how to decide plagiarism.This is clearly not as some notes are the same but far from enough to call it a plain copy or have a legal battle about it.

[@shmikis]

Breakfast?

[@SlavicUnionGaming]

shmikis shut up

[@renanpalmieri2081]

buy it, you wont regret, the game is pretty amazing, only down side is scarse of tracks, outside that the game is perfect

[@bloodykills7509]

*DEMON SPEEDING*

[@sj460162]

I played it but didnt really get what was going on and didnt really connect with it. I mean how do you actually win?

[@Hayyden]

*Wreckfest* At Tiffany's

[@FullContactGames]

Amazingly gamespot some people like heavy metal music! I think it makes the game way more fun

[@murphymoerf]

I was about to say! Metal and hard rock is the only music that should be on the soundtrack of such a game. I'm sick of all that electronic dubstep crap every other game has nowadays

[@itsjeffcloudy]

lmfaoooo. the lawn mower one killed me.

[@theviewer5262]

Unlocked the platinum for this game on PS4 today - it’s a fantastic racing game with loads of variety. One of the few racing games I’ve played where I still have a good time even if I don’t win the race - the destruction is great and the aggression of the AI is refreshing and makes you concentrate more than a generic racing game.

[@wowomg1980]

Waiting for the PS4 release.

[@Tiger42s]

Curry Chris same

[@wowomg1980]

I thought the demolition derby in Dirt Showdown was fun too.

[@wowomg1980]

omen_m24 true.

[@wowomg1980]

My Psn username is "NeoZeroOne1980" (I ready to change it) if anyone wants to friend me and we'll play later.

[@replicacity92]

When does the ps4 version come out?

[@replicacity92]

Looks good ... does it have split screen?

[@johngalactus4014]

Nice! We don't get these type of games anymore. The last one was like Flatout 2, that was a tonne of fun.

[@fryncyaryorvjink2140]

Finally, a good racing game! Its been too long!

[@jdbruiser]

There's GRAVEL and ONRUSH too! Wait a minute.....they weren't so good.

[@Skeptisis]

Yeah those two arent that great and I would not really call ONRUSH much of a racer

[@simosimouk]

Well deserved score, the online mode is fantastic. Even if you are crap, you can still cause havoc and have fun.

[@Lt.Shineysides89]

it is 100% worth the money the game isn't crammed with content but the mod community seems quite big plenty of extra vehicles and tracks etc :D if you like to do some funny and more relaxed racing this is def worth buying! don't take it too seriously or i garuntee you won't enjoy it

[@KakkoiSan]

Reminds me of the original destruction derby on ps1 😍

[@eSKAone-]

Maybe music is a matter of taste, and should not be mentioned negatively two times in a Review. I like the music.

[@camouflagecamaro99]

They gave it a 9

[@nahailyenvanakkor]

Comfy Cabbage I'm really surprised. I loved the original FlatOut games and I was an early backer of this one. I think it's like a 7/10. The game is not bad but it feels 'basic' and kind of unfinished. Maybe it's just the bitter taste that's left in me after the painful slog that the early access was.

[@eliasnicolasmiranda4940]

remind you this is a proper independent game Bugbear Entertainment is a indie developer now so they need a little support to complete the game with updates example of supported games are Assetto Corsa

[@nigelhutt9921]

This looks excellent fun. Been looking for a driving game that got away from being too serious and this is it.

[@TheColdest247]

This game is worth every penny in my book. 10/10

[@jonahmad7237]

It's been a long time coming but those Finnish masters have delivered! Looks like immense fun.

[@Rlogsdon100]

Does this game have like red rover and stuff from test drive eve of destruction?

[@Nihilian]

This is the only racing game where I've gone to the settings and turned the music volume UP. Very refreshing in a world full of forza horizon soundtracks.

[@chchedda]

Not even a fan of driving games, but you should download this as it's free on ps plus and at least give it a go even just for the dualsense controller. Absolutely brilliant

[@Leet_Juice]

So happy I backed the game all those years ago!

[@acheyawachtel9409]

I remember seeing this on NerdCubed a while back

[@Levc81]

Looks like there is no split screen for this? Such a shame, split screen games much more fun!

[@oneofakind2007]

I have been trying to find a good demo derby game since eve of destruction, looks like I found it!

It's soundtrack is one of my favorite features!?!?!

[@sikswitch1334]

Anyone ever played "driven to destruction"???? This is the update

[@ILLRICARDO]

I heard a few songs from the soundtrack, and they are pretty good, may be Jim just does not like metal.

[@Martytoofree]

what is wrong about the soundtrack? I actually love music that is putted there, even when im not listening this kind of music all the time, it fits for this game

[@murdoch9106]

Wreckfest is awesome!

[@hiawa23]

Sold, buying for Xbox1X. Is it X1X Enhanced?

[@SlavicUnionGaming]

hiawa23 yes I saw a video showing on the X model version and yes its probably enhanced

[@divljacina1]

this looks so much like first two parts of Flatout :D

[@antoniomora1906]

We need this game in VR ASAP!

[@MRFOURKAY]

Oh I'm buying this 100%

[@Dimaz42]

Which one is better: this or the old FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage ??

[@AlexMrShot]

Ultimate Carnage by far (if you prefer arcade racing over simulation)

[@Dimaz42]

I see.. I still have it installed, and yes I prefer arcade racing over sim..

[@comyxcon4gaming860]

Exactly what Flatout 4 should've been, although a fine game in it's own right, but Bugbear shouldn't had left the franchise like that. But at least we get this impressive "spiritual successor" and by all accounts, it SUCCEEDS.

[@OfficialTriple]

Best $45 I've spent in ages. This game is amazing.

the difference is that in this game you can play online easily unlike Flatout 2 which the servers are dead as fuck
