Any gameplay footage?

Had a watch of the video on the steam page and it looks awesome, like a better flatout 3.

That video has in-game footage. And next month when pre-order sales reach 10,000 and Bugbear releases a sneak peek demo of "Next Car Game", there will be a lot of in-game video at youtube, one of them will be mine.

I wouldn't call 2 seconds of game play at the 2min mark enough, im on about actual game play not cgi video

Hmm, has potential. I want to see the damage model in more detail.

neoglow · 8 Sep 2013 at 20:27

Oh hell yes, loved the Flatout games, especially Ultimate Carnage. Flatout 3 is utter tripe and not made by Bugbear thank god.

Definitely looking forward to this, I hope they can do a really good damage and physics model. Please please please make this good with awesome varied tracks and decent graphics.

I loved the first flatout and hope that this 'next car game' will not only feature wheel support but also separate pedals and wheel support...

EDIT: I see in the faqs that wheel support will be there for PC but no mention of separate wheel / pedals.

Ive pre-ordered. I took the plunge and paid for a game still in development for the first time as I have a good feeling about this game. I went all out and pre-ordered at the Team Bugbear Member tier to get all the goodies and support the dev's. It was only $70 (about £44) so not a huge amount. I cant afford the next/highest tier, thats Bugbear Vehicle Artist at $1000!

Come on people, get pre-ordering

, the lowest tier is only $25 (about £16), that gets you the game on release and early access if they can reach 10,000 pre-orders!

I really hope they make this game awesome, it certainly seems to have the potential.

I'm tempted to but the last project I backed fell through, got my money back but still felt a bit disgruntled.

Just quoting this to make sure nobody else gets suckered into buying FO3 like I did. "Utter tripe" is being exceedingly generous, it is without doubt one of if not the worst sequels I've ever played (yes, it's even worse than Micromachines v4!). Even me who has persevered with some pretty crappy driving games over the years gave up on it after a couple of races.

P.S. it SUCKS.

Destruction Derby was sooooo good.

Looks mint

The youtube video seemed to remind me of that!

seanr28 · 9 Sep 2013 at 07:52

Looks great, do enjoy a good smash em up racing game!

SkeeterUK · 9 Sep 2013 at 08:58

I like the flat out games well mainly but it is missing something. I think a good commentator like from destruction derby 2 and some levels from that game would be great in a flatout game. Its what made car racing with damage fun to me.

I've asked the question on the Bugbear forums but no answer - does anyone here know whether separate wheel / pedals will be supported?

Well, since you asked:

We are currently #59 of 1,382 games in Greenlight. So it's going rather well.

Thank you all! There seems to be a definite want for this game.

Voting only started last Friday!! The Next Car Game will get Greenlighted!!

Steam just Greenlighted a 100 games Aug 28, so unfortunately for Bugbear, it might take another month or 2 before Steam Greenlight a new bunch of PC games.

233 · 10 Sep 2013 at 08:15

think i'll be having some of this

if you pre order will you get a steam key If it goes onto steam as well?

233 · 10 Sep 2013 at 08:20

how many other ocukers will be getting involved in this?

I loved the old Destruction Derby, one of the best racing games ever made and this looks fantastic from that regard.
