Bugbear NCG: Wreckfest now has real deal online Multiplayer.

I think I liked it more in the very early days, when the physics were more wacky and you got some spectacular crashes with cars flipping in the air etc.
 
Does anyone know how far away from release this game is?

I keep thinking it is abandoned and then we get an update like this :p

Was talk of final version release this month, but after June release and seeing there was a lot to be done yet, the community told Bugbear don't release final version in Dec unless Wreckfest is ready for prime time. Bugbear had said back this spring, maybe a Dec release for final version, console versions early 2018.

As we seen with the Dec Build, Wreckfest come along ways from June Build, but still need work. We on our second hotfix this week. And we ask for a few changes in the feedback threads. We will see if that happens.

Now Bugbear hinting at a 1st quarter release, so maybe in March?

I will be taking a lot of video online this Saturday night. Will post my video next week. Thanks to paint customization in-game now and a little skin tweaking, this what my current car looking like in Wreckfest: :D

Thanks for the info. I hope it has a good career mode. It is one of the main reasons I purchased it. Loved racing to earn money to upgrade vehicles and then buy newer ones in the Flatout games :)
 
How do we do skin vehicles ?

Also does it work online ?

Go to the Garage, select a car, then click the Paint option to change the color of the car. Most the cars have 2 parts to the skin so you can paint each part of skin a different color. :)

Now if want a custom number, need make friends with a skinner or learn how do custom skins.

Custom skins online are only seen by you unless you hosting a mod like Cops and Robbers that has custom skins in the mod, then all players will see the custom skin you pick. :)

Just revisited this after a few months, the December update has made this feel much closer to a game than previously. The career mode is still a WIP that needs context and balance, but, it is actually fun and rewarding.
 
Noticed today that Race Department are doing organised community races, if you like your multi, that's the place to be. Id be all over this if they ever decide to go with VR.
 
The new Dec 2017 update been out almost a month now ( plus 3 hotfixes ) and Wreckfest now getting a lot of good reviews from new and old players.

Steam review:
" Evil Gunball - Posted: January 11
I've been following it for about 2 years, always wanting to buy it but listening to the reviews and staying away. When I checked it two weeks or so ago when it was 20% off or so, the reviews had shifted and said it's finally worth playing, so I picked it up.

I've been having a blast. The single player is bare bones and gets boring quickly but is a good way to build coin and get free♥♥♥♥♥♥ Multiplayer is great and the servers are fairly populated. Many are in Europe so I get terrible ping and the physics become wonky, but whenever there is a US game going on it's great.

Gameplay is pretty much Grid 2 Hardcore mode with people not giving any ♥♥♥♥♥ about driving fairly. It's a lot of fun.

I'm at 16 hours played or so, have access to competitive cars, and it's looking like I'll be playing this one for awhile.

You can always refund within 2 hours of gameplay, if you're going to buy it I'd recommend only starting it up at times when you're likely to be online and wanting to play to see if there are populated servers at that time, and stick to online for those 2 hours. If you love it, then do single player for a bit before buying anything, as a lot of things you can buy with your money are given free in 1P.

See you on the track! Sorry in advance. "

Just re-installed this after reading about the some what basic career mode being available now, and wow there has been quite a few improvements since i last played...

one quick question though, how do i set up a lawn mower only race, there great fun to drive, but whenever i set a track and my car to lawn mower, i set the AI to lawn mowers also, start the race then find im the only one in a lawn mower.

Am i missing something :S

Seem there bug with the AI lawnmovers, maybe get fix in next hotfit. Maybe hotfix out by Friday.
 
TrackMania (especially Nations Forever) already did this.

Which reminds me I've not listened to the menu music for that game in awhile.
