Deep Silver reveals Pure-alike Nail'd News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Made by Call of Juarez dev Techland.

Deep Silver has revealed Pure-alike racing game Nail'd for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Call of Juarez developer Techland is behind the wheel.

Nail'd offers exaggerated arcade racing for motorbikes and quads on ridiculous mountain courses with massive jumps.

"Nail'd is truly a hellish ride," explained the press release. "No other racing game has ever featured such differences in altitude!"

There's "challenging" AI, multiplayer with "global online tournaments" and a "compelling" soundtrack featuring "well-known bands", none of which are mentioned.

Our Nail'd gallery has the first batch of screenshots.

The name alone makes me want to cry. Also, it looks like an exact clone of Pure, only not as nice looking.

Could be worse, they could have called it Fuk'd.

Wow, a cheap copy of Pure two years after Pure came out. Can't wait.

Oh dear, Techland aren't exactly tech masters...

Pure was great because Black Rock Studios would appear to be a studio very much in the Criterion vein (as in, extremely technically accomplished).

I'd expect this to have a wavering framerate and copious amounts of screen tearing if Call of Juarez is anything to go by.

It's Pure, but amped, lol! Some of those jumps look barmy. I'm hoping it's going to have the scale the trailer suggests. Including 70 degree verts, according to the game's official page. Trials HD territory, in a racer.
One big difference from Pure, is that these tracks don't lap, they're all point to point.

I hate that unnecessary apostrophe that Americans seem to use a lot instead of the ed suffix to denote past tense verbs. It offends me every time I see one used like that.

When are we going to get another SSX game, because basically that's the feel that all these games are trying to re-capture, only not quite managing it.

@Chazmeister I'd have to say that Pure nailed the SSX feel perfectly. I've really got to start a new save on that game and kick it's ass again!

The gallery looks exactly like Pure, which I've yet to go back to after playing it for a couple of hours when I bought it. Need to though, great game.

Seems there was a lot of vaseline smeared on the screenshot machine that day.

To be fair to Techland their proprietary engine is pretty damn impressive, I loved the first Call of Juarez arts and all, still haven't got round to playing the second one yet though.

Can't say this type of stuff is really my bag though, I was looking forward to their Zombie Island game.

Further to the SSX nostalgia, can we have a new Sled Storm game?

Ahhh...Sled Storm was ace. So was SSX, but Sled Storm had more insane tracks. Apart from Tokyo Megaplex, which really needs to make a comeback.

Apart from Pure. And Excite Bike.

I also assumed they were Pure screenshots until I saw the word "Nail'd" on one.

Wow, that looks ridiculously similar but slightly worse. Pure was excellent and is now 2 years old. Also, the name is beyond terrible.

Stupid question: Why would you go from Nailed to Nail'd? Its the same darned number of characters... Or is this some fancy pronounciation that my mind cannot fathom?

@#25:
Are you sure? I thought Duality was supposed to do that.

VG247 have posted that Dead Island may also have been picked up for distribution by Deep Silver.
