FlatOut Ultimate Carnage revealed News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Following the success of previous games in the series, Empire Interactive has announced a new FlatOut game for Xbox 360, which is due for release in June.
The game, developed by Bugbear Entertainment, will be built from the ground up to make the best use of the new technology's horsepower. You'll be able to race in 12 different cars in five singleplayer and two multiplayer modes, plus downloadable content via Xbox Live will also be supported.
"We are very excited in being able to reward the loyal FlatOut fan base with a next generation FlatOut game," said Ian Higgins, Empire Interactive CEO. "FlatOut Ultimate Carnage is that game and it is undoubtedly the best FlatOut game to date."
FlatOut 2 was released last year, and despite being largely an update of the first game, received very favourable reviews. It's racing in a similar vein to Burnout, but off-road and messy, and one of the first games to lean heavily on its physics engine for negotiating debris and bumpy roads.
You know, it's actually very good. Here's hoping a new next-gen version can deliver the goods. Catch a face-full of the new screenshots elsewhere on the mud track, er, website.

Both FlatOut games looked good, reviews were fine and many fans raved about them. I don't know why, but I think they are simply not fun and I've tried both on PC and Xbox. FlatOut 2 tried to be the offroad Burnout, but it was not nearly as fun. I really hope they fix this major flaw with the gameplay for the X360 rendition.

I think the main thing the original had lacking was bit of gloss, a bit of a professional finish would have worked wonders. The gameplay was fun (although the handling could be tweaked a bit), and hte idea is still strong and (fairly) unique.

the idea was great and it was a very good live game, but i found the handling just a tad too sensitive.
i do have high hopes for this though |

hmm the handling was a bit too sensitive so it took along time on ice to even finish the races, not instantly as accessible as burnout but a good couple of games.
The minigames were fun and of course mrrick seems to have forgotten that you didn't have to play them at all. A next gen version will definitely be on my list of games to watch :) |

Enjoyed both previous versions - think most of the polish missing is in the lack of voiced over audio. Would have loved Hill-Billy redneck Old timer doing voice over for mud tracks in country - couple of stories about daring moonshine runs an stuff mixed in with commentary on your driving.
"Last time I saw someone jump that far in a pickup was when me an old Billy-Bob..yada yada yada with loads of different ones to avoid repetition" and some Ridge-Racer esque comments on cornering etc - surely decent audio must be the cheapest way to improve a product - certainly Flat Out franchise would benefit massively. |

Prefered the first to the second purely because the scenery and debris were a lot heavier. If you drove over an engine in the first rendition, you felt it.
I loved the handling of the cars in the first! And the lack of 'polish'! It made it feel like a banger-race which is what I thought made it all the more enjoyable...racing around in big old 70's-esque yank-tanks crashing through fences was a great laugh. Just hope they return to their roots a little instead of moving into the already way-over-done 'Need For Speed/Fast and Furious' area...
