![]() ![]() These are non-traditional racing tracks – street racing and smashing through forests for example. We put a lot of effort into providing a variety of paths to get around a track-this isn’t after all a track racer. Q: Just how destructible are the new environments? Will the track and racing routes evolve from lap to lap?Ī: (Alex Assier) This is of course an important feature players expect from FlatOut! Yes, because by destroying parts of the environment, you will find shortcuts. This is particularly fun of course in multiplayer mode with your buddies! Q: Can you breakdown the new Assault Mode for us? What kind of weapons can we expect? Any countermeasures like smoke, oil slick, mines, armor upgrades?Ī: (Alex Assier) Yes, this is an area of the game we are particularly excited to unveil! You will have a variety of tools in your arsenal: A big mine that you can toss forward or backward from your car with targeting a magnetic bomb to trap your opponents a shockwave from your car to repel cars around you and the ability to set harrows coming from the ground to stop the car behind you. As you play through Career and FlatOut mode, the various Stunts and Arena challenges will unlock as well as new environments and race tracks. Progression with unlock tiers of cars – players will start out with derby vehicles and later unlock classic and All – Star vehicles as they progress. Race wins will provide you with cash to unlock cars and upgrades. All will be unlocked during the Career and FlatOut Mode. Please explain a bit about how this will be “unlocked” and how much is available when you first start the game.Ī: (Alex Assier) Yes, we tried to fill the game with as much content as possible. Q: There is an impressive amount of content in FlatOut 4. The campaign features a variety of styles of races and arenas. The single-player campaign is tournament style with medals required to progress. Q: Is there going to be any structured single-player career/campaign mode?Ī: (Alex Assier) Yes, FlatOut has both career mode for single player, and multiplayer mode for playing with your friends. This is pure entertainment – we push fun and humor, eject your drivers through the windshield, smash your rocket powered ice cream van into your opponent, surprise your buddy with a bowling ball barreling down the road to threaten his lead! Not the same approach, not the same game. It’s a brand that is something altogether different and unique and never takes itself too seriously. Which makes sense of course with their technology. Wreckfest has swung quite far towards the realm of simulation. While we think what Bugbear is doing with their new game is great, it’s been a big departure from where they came from with FlatOut. Our game is different from theirs but keeps to the spirit of FlatOut 2 along with something new. I am sure you will also like FlatOut 4: Total Insanity. Where, how, or does FlatOut 4 fit into what is really the only other demolition derby racing game for PC?Ī: (Alex Assier) There is certainly enough room for both games. Q: FlatOut fans (at least on the PC) have been closely following the ongoing development of Next Car Game/Wreckfest. We are looking to make our mark where people will refer to us as doing something great with the latest iteration of FlatOut. It’s an honor though to take up the mantle on the franchise. No one on our team is associated with any other studios. It’s my passion and the passion of Kylotonn. I have worked on a variety of types of games and platforms but my primary focus is and has always been on racing games for consoles. I’ve been working in the game video game industry for 16 years. I’m Alexandre Assier, Producer at Kylotonn Games for FlatOut. ![]() Any Bugbear veterans on the team?Ī: (Alex Assier) It’s a pleasure to speak about this new FlatOut game. Please get us started by introducing yourself and telling us about the team working on FlatOut 4. and get some cool info about this next-gen sequel to one of our favorite racing franchises. ![]() We had the chance to talk about this exciting new racing game with Alexandre Assier, Producer at Kylotonn Games, and Emanuel Wall, Director at Strategy First Inc.
