What’s the multiplayer situation like for these games? They don’t list LAN in the features for the first game, but there’s mention of it in the Steam forums, and I’m not sure if it was removed or something. Presumably no split screen?

The first game has online servers that people host. Usually a blast. The occasional crybaby host. I have spent many nights just crashing into my buddy and trying to take each other out of each race.

Sometimes we will just look for an empty server so we can mess around “alone”.

I don’t believe it supports split screen and I haven’t tried LAN.

The single player campaign of the first game took longer than I expected and was harder than I thought (if you care about getting 3 stars on all races). Some of this races you need a fast light car to win, but the challenges require you to take out a bunch of people meaning you have to do it really intelligently while not losing too much paceborndestroyijg your unarmored race car for example.

Unless they really botch this game (kerbal 2 style) I think this second one will be even better than the first.

Ohhhhh this has me amped. Bugbear is a solid studio and OG Wreckfest was a very good game.

btw FlatOut 2 got an update last summer.

Didn’t know that. It took me quite a while to realize Bugbear made Flatout as well lol

The update restored Papa Roach’s Blood Brothers? Holy shit, I love them. I had no idea this was a thing.

I’m excited for this. Let’s hope it doesn’t take 4 years like nextcargame :/

THQ Nordic bought Bugbear in 2018 so the funding is at least better than in nextcargame’s early years.

Yeah I’m sure it’ll be fine. I jumped on Nextcargame very early and those first couple years were real slow going…

I really liked wreckfest. I am not a big fan of early access, so I will cautiously wait for the game to be released to gauge my excitement.

The first game is a blast with friends, so I hope the sequel follows suit.
