A new open world sandbox racing game is coming from the developers behind the legendary racing series Need For Speed and Burnout - Wreckreation. The game will allow you to build colossal stunt race tracks in MixWorld, a 400-square kilometre playground for you to drive in.
Developed by Three Fields Entertainment and published by THQ, the game was just announced at THQ's showcase. In Wreckreation, you'll build race tracks that allow you to crash, do stunts, or simply go really fast. You can do this all by yourself, or online with friends, creating a co-op world that has a little piece of all of you in it.
There's a live mix mode, where players can seemingly change the track on the fly as others race on it. As well as this, other features will include several different ways to set records on a track: drift, stunt, air, near miss, crash, and time.
There's also going to be an old-school FM radio dial with 16 channels and the ability to play your own Spotify playlists, and also many vehicle customisation options, all available to you from the start of the game.
The trailer for Wreckreation is silly, overly dramatic, and brilliantly self-aware. This is a game that knows what it's about: fun. A pair of radio announcers talk about the strange appearance of random race track parts all around Sledgehammer County. The county's slogan is 'drive fast and play free', so what did they expect?
As the pair talk, an ominous, tangled mass of twisted road like some sort of Lovecraftian Hot Wheels track grows in the sky, "eclipsing the sun above Sledgehammer," they note. That's your playground.
A very dramatic song plays as several assorted vehicles, vans and supercars, muscle cars and construction vehicles take their positions at the starting line. The track has jumps, loops, crushing traps, and a complete lack of barriers to prevent drivers from falling into Sledgehammer County below, raining crhome detritus onto unsuspecting residents below.
