Micro Machines v4 announced News

PC PlayStation 2 PSP DS
News by Ellie Gibson

10 March, 2006

Codemasters has officially announced that a new Micro Machines game is currently in development for PS2, PSP, PC and Nintendo DS.

Micro Machines v4 is being developed by Supersonic Software, who were responsible for various other MM games as well as the Mashed series.

Expect hundreds of unique vehicles, including sports cars, street racers, stock cars 4x4s, beach buggies, lowriders and muscle cars. They all handle and perform differently, and there are loads of weapons and power-ups to collect - including the car-mounted giant hammer.

MM fans will recognise some classic tracks from earlier instalments in the series, such as the breakfast table, kitchen, pool table and bath. There's also a huge bunch of new tracks - you can race across the roofs of houses, zoom through sewers, and cruise round a supermarket and a museum. There's also a farm "with a danger-packed chicken coop." Presumably they've all got bird flu.

Micro Machines v4 is out this summer.

Yay Micro Machines!

I still play the Megadrive version every so often.

Could be great on hand held. The megadrive version was awesome. Lets see a handheld Dizzy game as well.

They did announce way back when that The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy would be the final Dizzy game... so don't hold your hopes up for a new Dizzy game...

... though it would be nice, admittedly...

What would be even nicer is the ability to make tracks using those city sets they had back in the day.

And please, make it decent.

This really makes up for that last god-awful MM game.

I second that Carlo, if it isn't I don't think I'll bother buying it.

I remember sitting on my friend's sofa playing 8 player MM on the Megadrive, 2 to a controller! Ah...

Lost though.

Yeah, they need to "X" him, like they did with MegaMan, or add a pr0n star 'tache so Dizzy suits everyones' tastes.

They need to crack his head open and fry the bastard. That's what they need to do.

*beep* *beep*

I hope this is more like MM2 than MM3. MM2 has absolutely perfect collision handling, MM3 did not.

It also needs to have a sponge that you use to cross a sink!

Am I the only person to have a Dizzy game in my 'Eurogamer Top 10 Games' list?

I opted for Magicland Dizzy...although I think I may have it confused with 'Prince of the Yolk Folk'. Interesting stuff huh?

As I said in another thread about this game, it stinks of Codies not being imaginitive enough to come up with new ideas. It even says it in the article,

"MM fans will recognise some classic tracks from earlier instalments in the series"

read between the lines and that says to me that their designers can't be bothered to do their job and come up with an entire bunch of new tracks!! They also can't be bothered to come up with new game ideas.............recent releases and announcements include,

Op Flashpoint
TOCA Race Driver AGAIN
LMA Manager AGAIN
Sensible Soccer

Did anyone notice Colin McRae Rally 4 tracks were just Colin 3 tracks reversed?!?!?!


Despite all that, I'd like to see MM released but it'd have to be budget or Xbox Live Arcade title...............not churn out the same old game and expect the public to pay full price for it!!!!!

Any news on WiFi support on the DS? A mixture of classic and new tracks would be nice.
