Yep sorted! Trying to think what Mods I'd like to see, if I could make my own I'd go nuts lol..

Edit: They tweeted about a new race track: https://twitter.com/bugbeargames

I thought this game was dead. Very few updates so it's a very long 'early access' game.

Picked up this on the steam sale, wasn't expecting much but have to say it's a lot of fun and a welcome break from sim racing. Initial impressions weren't great as the game started for me with car on the main menu screen spinning round constantly. Turned out it was treating my Fanatec wheel and pedals as two independent controllers and assigning them both steering functions etc. In case anyone else has this problem, the solution is to unbind everything (camera views etc.) from the pedals except accelerate and brake.
If you have Nvidia 3D Vision kit, give it a go, the experience is spectacular!

Been awhile since last post. Bugbear been chugging along this last 12 months trying get Wreckfest closer to a final version. Bugbear getting close. Bugbear headed to E3 in LA June 13-15, to show off what they got so far:

April Update 2017-04-07 post #405

Janne Suur-Näkki June 4, 2017
We'll be showing only the PC version at E3 with our publishing partner, about which you'll also get more news very soon. The idea is to give the press a chance to see and experience the game after the new update and hear about our plans for it, the console versions and so forth. It's basically promotion for the game (and of course the publisher) and hopefully we'll be able to give people a good reason to check out the game again, write about it and consequently introduce it to new people.

Bugbear been working on the beta Branch Build for a few months now. New Build going bring some major changes to Wreckfest and might see career mode unveiled. New Build should get release after E3 next week.

At this rate I will get the full product I paid for by 2020

Even then it will not be the flatout game that I was sold on, but at least it is something if it ever gets completed

To me Wreckfest feel more like the original Flatout rather than 2 and UC which isn't a bad thing imo

News from E3:

THQ Nordic's cooperation with Bugbear Entertainment announced!

We're running a bit late here but there's still time to vote for your favorites as well as participate so here goes...

Teaser pic of new station wagon:

Exciting news! We need a rocking soundtrack for Wreckfest and since we thought this is a perfect chance to promote all the awesome indie bands out there and give our fans a chance to voice their opinion on the soundtrack, we have just opened a game music contest. The winners will have their music featured in our game and receive cash prizes, with the top dog receiving $3,500 and nine runner-ups $1,000 each. Don’t forget that artists featured in our previous games have included many upcoming indie artists as well as household names like Megadeth, Rob Zombie, and Fall Out Boy, so now you or your friends have a chance to break big. We want to have the best possible soundtrack in the game so make sure to vote and share the news with your favourite bands!

Check out the contest site HERE

In other news, as you have no doubt noticed for the most part we’ve been flying under the radar since our last update and that’s simply because we’ve been working on the game like there’s no tomorrow, adding new features and content as well as polishing what we already have. We can soon share more details with you but rest assured there’s a plenty of good stuff coming up – loads of new unique cars, a proper career mode with championships, car paint job customization, brand new HUD, greatly improved AI, polished tracks and a lot more – in short, everything that will soon make Wreckfest a complete game. Stay tuned!

Still holding out hope we will see a station wagon in Wreckfest come final release day.

Dec 17, 2016
Hey, what kind of a banger racing game wouldn't have a station wagon?

Thank you, Thank you Bugbear and Janne for keeping your promise to give us a station wagon to race and crunch in Wreckfest!

nearly 4 years, still awful.

Everyone has forgotten about it thanks to lack of development

I was big into it when it hit EA, but I've barely touched it now. DayZ vs Wreckfest Round 1..

I forgot I even owned this till I saw this thread.

 

[One Vision]

Remember Destruction Derby on the PS1?

 

[Daftbrown]

First game I ever bought on Early Access.

Likely the last.

It's a shame but the long development has more or less killed my excitement. Still... Might have a quick peek come Christmas...

This.

Completely forgot about it, I'll have to download it again over Christmas.
