The game’s “story” mode – a curated series of events – is the best way to see these upgrades. The 4k really makes everything sharp and clear, while the increased framerate gives it an energy it lacked before. It’s not at the level of some of the flagship sims graphically, but it’s high enough up there that it’s not at all out of place on a top-end Oled. On Xbox Series X, this game runs at 4k and 60fps.
WRECKFEST UPDATE 2021 PATCH
Hopefully this patch will propel it to the level it deserves. Its 80+ Metacritic score has done nothing but get it a bit of a cult following, it seems. Wreckfest is an awesome game in its own right, and I’m surprised that isn’t more apparent in online conversations. It’s fun, and now it feels appropriately fast as well.
The smooth 60fps kicks Wreckfest into another gear. You know what helps with this kind of second-by-second smash action? A higher framerate, and luckily this latest next-gen patch allows for just that. Point being, getting first here isn’t necessarily about making it over the finish line the fastest. Others are on courses you’d expect in other games, although here bonuses are rewarded usually based on how much damage you cause. Some of these are on courses in the shape of a figure of eight, meaning you’re likely to be in a few crashes. On top of destruction derbies and novelty events, there are also traditional races. That’s how I play Forza too, but here it’s encouraged. You get in, you bash your opponents and, hopefully, you get out in first place. Destruction AllStars and the constant call for Twisted Metal proves there’s a demand for a less polished driving experience – preferably the kind where a stiff drink behind the wheel feels almost encouraged. Wreckfest occupies a niche that shouldn’t be a niche. Not a motorised couch in sight (and yes, you read that right). Since then, the great American racer abandoned enthusiastic crowds of rednecks for shiny cars in exotic places. It was Destruction Derby on the PS1, and Driven to Destruction on PS2. It’s only every so often that a game like this comes along. Stick on your seatbelt and get ready for the best bumpy ride you’ll ever have. With a new 4K/60FPS patch on Xbox Series X, it’s worth taking another spin around the block. Play it on PC, play it on Xbox – but play it. Why aren’t more people talking about Wreckfest? It’s not only an awesome game, but it’s right there on Game Pass.
WRECKFEST UPDATE 2021 FULL
Want to place bets on Bugbear's next game being a full Carmageddon reboot?Īs well as the Carmageddon content, the Wreckfest update also includes some fixes, although the remaining list of known issues included in the update post is much larger.It’s the hidden gem of the bus smashin’, double-decker car ridin’, lawnmower racin’ genre – and now Wreckfest has got that shiny next-gen glean to go along with it. THQ Nordic bought Wreckfest's developers Bugbear in November 2018, and acquired Carmageddon the following month, making this update a match made in the boardroom. It doesn't go as far as BeamNG.drive with its soft body simulation, but it's a more accessible and arcadey way to make car metal crumple.
I've also played a bunch of Wreckfest, early during its early access journey. I don't actually want to kill a bunch of things in Wreckfest, and the retro zombies makes the killing cute while ticking the nostalgia box. I'm glad that the update keeps the zombies as pixellated sprites, rather than modernising them into 3D. It wasn't the first 3D racing game I'd played - that was probably Screamer - but it was the first where you could do more than just drive a fixed way around a loop. I liked it at the time not for the ability to make zombies (or robots) go pop, but for Bleak City, which felt as close to an open 3D world to drive around as I'd seen at that point. I played a bunch of Carmageddon back when it was first released, or at least its demo.
