I just found out Wreckfest existed and they've already announced a sequel? This is all moving so fast.

All we need is a Wreckfest remaster and our lives are complete.

I could only get behind a Wreckfest remaster if they don't change too much. It needs to be just how I remember it.

Remade for modern audiences. Electric cars only I'm afraid.

Your summary is misleading. I know you just love Phil. We all do. But it's also releasing on PS5 and PC, not only on Xbox.

I love they seem to be prioritising split screen. So much more fun than online.

Hopefully they work on the career mode or whatever it was called. Fucks sake did that become dull after 12hrs or so. It was just so repetitive and samey after awhile.

Let's just hope it's better than Super Mario Galaxy.

I thought it did a good job of touring the player through all the various game modes. I know some racing games really go a step above when it comes to the career mode but I thought Wreckfest's was fine. Most of my time was spent in one-off races tbh

2025 is legit turning out to be a fantastic year, at least for me there's so many interesting releases. KCDII, Doom, Wreckfest 2, Roadcraft, Atomfall, GTAVI (inshallah). I loved Wreckfest, played the shit out of it. Can't wait for this one.

Bought the first one in its early access and will do the same with this one.
I hope mods will be easy to add, I used modded tracks and cars far more than the official content in the first one, there's some really fun tracks out there.

I hope crushing cars from up above actually has an affect this time round.
Booted up the first one, crushed this Volvo with a bus twice, that's with extreme damage on and despite his head going through the floor of his car, he still survived while it killed my bus.

Yo it's rough and all but already has a photo mode
Doesnit feel like a generational step up from the first game? Especially considering it released like 7 years ago?
Physics are more intricate and textures are way more detailed. It's in EA, visuals will improve. Right now there's a lot of pop in on smaller objects.

It's extremely early access judging by my playtime…you can't even tune the cars and the multiplayer menus don't even have a ping readout

Performance is much faster than I expected for an early access game - 4K, 2xMSAA ultra settings on a 4070ti Super is mostly at my 120fps frame cap. Ignoring sound bugs etc, performance does need a lot of smoothing out though as it's making even a 9800X3D microstutter. Game looks very nice as well and it's much more detailed.
I'm not feeling any overwhelming differences in the handling model from the first game albeit no ABS braking is a lot better, and the damage model is very close to BeamNG now, plus you don't seem to get those protruding spikes anymore.
This is new as well, you can get a slow puncture that eventually leads to the tyre rolling off the rim, I thought that was cool and uploaded a clip of it.

Game looks good and runs well, physics are genuinely impressive.
Weird how he didn't mention some of the issues like the pop in that's not great at all. Also some stutter issues.
First content update!
We're bringing you gameplay upgrades like adjustable FOV, gamepad rumble, and DLSS & FSR support. Online play gets even better with friend invites, server search and sorting, plus a new player list HUD!
Two tracks join the chaos:
And yes – new cars:

Two tracks join the chaos:
- A brand-new Rallycross circuit set in Central Europe (1 route)
- The return of Finncross – completely overhauled for tight-turn madness (2 routes)
And yes – new cars:
- A slick Euro sports sedan
- Rammer, the legendary American sedan car
Something feels off.
Frame rates are impressive, I'm playing at over 4k with DLAA getting around 100fps. But it doesn't feel smooth. Locking the fps doesn't help much, feels like the camera movement hitches or something. Will test a bit more to understand what's wrong. Vsync on or off didn't solve it.

I didn't have any issues with the smoothness when I tried it out last night but I have VRR. I did get microsttuter before the patch though. I'm glad they add DLAA, looks so much better than MSAA which still left jaggies everywhere.
I did wonder though if they've changed the mechanical damage model and car setups. The front wheel drive cars seemed to wheelspin a bit less while the rear wheel drive cars seem to kick out more easily, but maybe I'm just remembering things wrong from the last time I played. I use Savolax Sandpit reverse as a lap time tester and usually lap in the 1m:11s with all the cars except the Euro 1/Gizmo. Before patch 0.,2 I could only do 1:12 in the Euro 1/Gizmo because it had so much inside wheelspin. Last night on my first lap, notice it was hooking up better and ran a 1:11.6 straight away.
I was having some weird affects when playing online though, where quite often the whole car would randomly start crab walking to the right quite severely.

When I switched back to my normal display resolution of 3440x1440 and DLAA, the stutter went away. Rarely under 150fps and no hitches. Was only at 5k when fps were still high but there were camera hitches.
DLAA is so good though, at 3440x1440 the image is still crazy good.

I am not buying this until it's properly released. I remember buying the first one during EA and then it took them like half a fucking decade to complete the game.
