(team-play capable)

Give whatever it takes to set highscores in stunt mode with stunning action!
Jumps, loops, roll overs, flips, spins... here's Tony Hawk with cars!

Racing Mode
Attack best times or race against other players on default or custom tracks -
choose between city sets, offroad sets, highway road pieces, racing track elements
and much more...

Wrecking Mode
(team-play capable)

Put on your helmet and step into your vehicle - it's time for some wrecking!
If you like cars smashing into each other, that's your mode. And in case you are still not satisfied
get yourself some "support" with a rocket launcher or minigun!

Knock Out Mode
Just be quicker than the slowest driver on the track - after each lap completed the last driver is kicked out of race until there's only one last man standing!

Speed Bomb Mode
(formerly known as "secret mode")

Watch out, someone installed a bomb in your car and it's blowing up if you're getting too slow!
Now let's see how long you can continue to stay alive on the right route!

Capture The Flag
(team-play capable)

Catch the flag by crashing into your opponents and bring it back to the flag point! Or better let you help out by a team member by passing the flag over with a missile shot.

Pass The Bomb Mode
It might be YOU who was chosen to carry out a bomb that explodes after a certain bomb timer expired! So better quickly pass over that thingy to anyone else before it's time to say good-bye!

Test Drive
Test drive tracks, cars or car setups without any rule restrictions (singleplayer only).

OMG! .... adds to buy list.

Looks good but at the same time it looks like photos were used for textures.

Doubtful. This was in Midnight Club. It was pretty boring/annoying.

Post by **reefsurfer** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 2:47 am

right, sticking with stunt and wrecking mode then. :icon31:

Post by **Freakaloin** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 2:56 am

all that jumping and crashing is for seven year old retarded children, but it looks okay besides that...

Post by **Eraser** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 8:04 am

waah this has been in development for such a long time! But damn this looks good. Supposed to be the "stunts killer" so to speak. I wonder how it'll be compared to Trackmania Sunrise.

ARE YOU MORE EXCITED ABOUT THIS GAME, OR THAT OTHER ONE?

Post by **Pext** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 8:20 am

wow - amazing gfx; esp. shot 2

Post by **MKJ** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 8:21 am

that last pic bugs me. i hate it when they do broken glass that way, its too generic. Burnout3 suffered the same thing.. whenever someone crashed, all windows would be instantly shattered.. looks real weird on a bus with 15 windows n stuff

Finally someone realized that upping the contrast on the textures does make them look more realistic.

The game need pedestrians.

Looks fantastic. But the video says "Spring 2005" which to me sounds like it's comming out soon.

Post by **o'dium** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 12:30 pm

It does look good, but a few things are letting me down;

texture seems
texture consistency (i.e. grass will be sharp one second, but right next to it, its larger in scale so its blury?)
The cars (Just seem to be missing something, dunno what it is? Maybe the lighting doesn't quite match the levels?)

Other than that, ti looks fucking class. But nothing iwll ever beat Burnout 4, no matter how good it looks

Developers have been using photographs as a base for textures since time began. Nothing new there.

Anyone know which engine they're using?

Post by **o'dium** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 12:32 pm

You know, if those shots has AA on, i probably would lof looked at them and first said "Photos" they are that cool. All the "blueish" ones rock my socks.

Post by **FragaGeddon** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 2:42 pm

Looks like it'll be fun.

WTH?
All i heard was that its in the works... havent seen any pics or videos.
I demand pics! :icon33:

Post by **o'dium** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 3:20 pm

I have no idea how i typed all that in that way.

"nothign will ever beat burnout 3"

Post by **werldhed** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 3:43 pm

This looks exactly like a ripped-off (albeit pretty) version of Stunts (4D Sports Driving), all the way down to the track editor. I used to love that game but this, for whatever reason, doesn't look that great to me.

edit... ah HA... I see from the site it is a Stunts sequel. I don't remember Atari making the original, but meh.. whatever.

Heh, from the FAQ:

Can "wrecked players" leave the car and be ran over by others?

No. In comparison to other games like for example "Carmageddon" or "Grand Theft Auto" it is not our aim to have any violent aspects in the game as we actually only want to focus on a gameplay that's fun and not in the sense of killing people.
