I know most of us thought Flatout 3 was shit. The reason it was shit was that the series was taken out of the hands of these devs.
Packages range from the $25 ($30 if you buy at a later, unspecified date) for the game (and base does include early access). And extra options go all the way to a $1000 package that lets you design a car paint job and puts your name in the credits. Mid-range packages throw your name in the billboard adds and all sorts of other goodies.
All of that is kinda cool. But I know we all WANT this game. So if you have an extra $25 in the free space of your budget for gaming, this would be a good place to put it. _________________ Advocating the end of the world since July 1995.

2 things missing from the video:
1) "... and Flatout: Ultimate Carnage... yeah, we apologize for that one..."
2) "... and we are bringing back movable barriers for assholes to move around and block the course..."

Ultimate Carnage was just 2 updated for Xbox360/GFWL. Otherwise, same darn game. And since no one used GFWL, well. there you have it. _________________ Advocating the end of the world since July 1995.

Also, for those that backed early, check your email. Your steam key should be there. Mine was. _________________ Advocating the end of the world since July 1995.

or maybe not, multiplayer is not yet working, and game is still marked as pre-alpha. Still, going to give it a whirl, and will chime in when I have some idea how it plays in it's current state. _________________ Advocating the end of the world since July 1995.

Very alpha on the interface. Does not yet have multiplayer or fully support a gamepad. So yeah, not quite LAN ready. I will post another update when they do. _________________ Advocating the end of the world since July 1995.

Soooo.
Just noticed something in today's patch notes.
Multiplayer:
Implemented LAN multiplayer for both race and derby, currently supports up 12 players. Please note that the performance of the server has a significant effect on the client's performance, and if the server is struggling you might experience additional lag on the clients. If you experiencing lag, it's recommended to lower the quality settings via the launcher.
AAAAND:
Input System:
Added remapping support for XInput devices such as the X360 gamepad.
Added D-pad and look-around support for DirectInput devices.
Increased the amount of rebindable controls.

We haven't really LAN'd it yet, what with the no multiplayer. Playing against the AI feels a lot like Flatout. I'd probably just wait until you've seen it/played it with someone else's machine. But so far it's pretty true to Flatout.

Yeah it's still very Pre-alpha. But it is interesting to see them working on it stage by stage. And yeah, single player feels like an updated Flatout. It's very promising, but it is early as well. _________________ Advocating the end of the world since July 1995.

Brules, I think your attention span might be broken.
NO MULTIPLAYER means that we have NO WAY OF KNOWING. We'll get back to you when they've added it and had a chance to try it out.
EDIT: When we do get it, it'd have to be better than FO3, which did not deserve the label (and was NOT made by BugBear). And FO:Ultimate Carnage was just FO for GFWL/XBOX 360, and was almost exactly the same game as FO2. _________________ Advocating the end of the world since July 1995.

Apparently you totally missed my post saying it had multiplayer? So we'll know at the next LAN

Right, thus my question. Worth it for this LAN? Enough Mplayer to be fun like old FO?
And are there moveable barriers? _________________ K-SWISS Power cologne. Who knew you could bottle the scent of boner?

No barriers that I've seen. Only a few tracks and a couple of derby courses at the moment.
Just wait til the LAN, if it looks fun, buy it and copy it from one of us.

Yep, I DID miss that post, Anreill. And Steam had not prompted for an update when I posted, either. It updated overnight the night after. _________________ Advocating the end of the world since July 1995.
