Wreckfest

I jump on occasionally. The haptic feedback certainly makes controlling the cars much more engaging. After Forza I really struggle to enjoy driving games without it these days.

Some of the updates they've done have been great and they still being new content and game modes which keeps it interesting.

 

[Adamm.]

Turns out this is coming to switch now then. My lads going to love that as if he ever gets a chance to go on my Xbox he always wants to play this.

 

[GiT]

Mine is updating right now lol

 

[Speedyslipper]

Brilliant game, me and my boy play it on the ps4 campaign mode - very fun

 

[Darren S]

Pretty cheap on the PC platform now too, through cdkeys...

The Season Pass only gives you some extra vehicles as well IIRC, the faster ones in the game you earn.

Got to admit - I'm really enjoying the multiplayer aspect to this. I'm going on daily just to have a round or two - but it works so well because you're supposed to crash.

I doubt I could cope with the toxic responses of overcooking a corner too much and taking out another player in a standard racing game. This makes for such a refreshing change.

Played one last night where three players all chose the school-bus and proceeded to do the 6 lap race in the opposite direction. Proper chaos!

Have you tried the Tournament mode to unlock extra vehicles and paint scheme?

There is a skin based on the HKS paint scheme for the Skyline's, obviously the Tristar car being based on a 1970's Skyline GT-R

You need to tweak the base colours of the skin to get it looking correct:

• paint color:
  • 230
  • 22
  • 10
• livery layer 1:
  • 230
  • 67
  • 85
• livery layer 2:
  • 167
  • 57
  • 88
• livery layer 3:
  • 29
  • 88
  • 100

Anyone got this on the switch? Thinking of getting it for my son but was wondering if it’s a laggy POS like it is on the regular Xbox.

 

[Darren S]

Managed to Perfect it last night on Steam.

I downloaded this on PS5 the other day - absolutely love it!

 

[JackJack]

Easily one of the best games I've ever bought.

 

[Speedyslipper]

It’s in turns absolutely hilarious and utterly brilliant- totally agree, it’s a brilliant game for all ages

Fired this up on the PS5 for the first time in over a year (I've finished the single player stuff so nowt much left to do). Tournament mode was "greyed out" so couldn't do anything on that.

Online races are a blast though. Only really 1 or 2 cars racing for the win, the rest quite happy to cause carnage. Takes a while to earn any real monies though.

 

[Adamm.]

The tournaments are weird. On PC I couldn't get them to work and just yesterday I was on Xbox doing some of them. My son loves it he was pissing himself driving around on the sofa.

It's easier to grind the money in single player. You'll earn in 30 minutes what will take hours online, and you can do it as a total novice, which if you tried to do in multiplayer you'd never get anywhere.

Very true. You'd be there for years trying to get the money via multiplayer.

Speaking of which - the easiest way to get the X-number of wins online achievement is to host a game and get a mate to join you. Select a small oval - and set the race to one lap. You win the race in no time and simply repeat.

The PC multiplayer hosting is a bit of a faff though. You'll need to enable port forwarding on your router - but there are plenty of online tutorials out there of how to do it. Or give me a PM if you're struggling!

You need to update it, it was greyed out for me too until I or it updated. I love playing this and currently it's what I've been playing.

I continuously laugh whilst playing this as I find it hilarious. It's the 1st racing game I've not give one single s**t about crashing or getting it wrong and I love seeing cars plough into each other.

Best way to rack up major cash... Build a car to be really strong with no performance mods (Class D or C). Create a race, Sandstone Trail Alternative (or another that creates total ciaos, 60 laps, class A on the highest damage level with no aids on. Try to stay out of trouble and let them crash and kill each other or themselves, once you're in first and on your own, wreck. Insane XP and easy 45k.

i might need to have another go at this, i played in on my xbox a couple of years ago, enjoyed it at first but then seemed a bit repetitive, might download it again.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

I just wish more friends played it on PS5 as I'd love a few hours smashing about laughing my socks off.

 

[RustyMojo]

Just ordered it for the PS4, been meaning to for ages.
