FUEL: Tornado!

looks like Hardcore 4x4

meh

I would love for this game to deliver all that it promises. But, after buying Baja and MX vs ATV last year I am going to remain deeply sceptical that an off-road arcade racer can deliver.

No demo either apparantly so shall have to wait for the reviews to pour in.

Like the music.

Hmm, not sure about this game, the engine noise sounds annoying as well as the soundtrack, but the weather effects and the world look awesome.

Why does the cars look so incredibly stiff? It isn't possible to flip a car in this game huh? No matter how you drove or what you ran into, nothing happened. The car just continued on its merry way.

I guess it can be a fun playground but the car physics (if there even are any) look really, really disappointing.

I am not too keen on how the game handles collisions. The bouncing off of tree's and other cars just looks a bit rubbish.

Looks great, particularly like the HUD and GPS.

Might just have to buy this.

rhubard is right - should be awesome. If I assume its not gonna be as good as it looks and it doesnt.. i wont be disappointed. If its as good as it seems then all the better.

that was kinda boring.
Amazing seeing as it was supposed to seem exciting :)

hint. racers always look a lot better from the in car camera view.
the chase came makes them look like a toy on a pivot

This almost looks like my old favourite INS4NE. But with weather effects. And better graphics. And less cars.

PC version looks alrightish.

Looks great, but the crash physics are generic! Real shame as I would have thought that crash damage would be vital in a game like this.
To me it looks like a generic racer in a fantastic environment - what a missed opportunity!

Boring :(((

Looks well dull

The sound in this game is just awful, think that's what makes it seem dull more than anything, because there's a bloody tornado flinging cars around for fucks sake.

The physics seem potentially good and potentially stiff, can't really tell from watching a video. In any case I'm intrigued by what this game has to offer, so I hope it delivers on as many fronts as possible. But yeah, sound, terrible.

Can't wait for this :)

Controls look bad, no proper crashing, doesn't even look like it's falling apart - boring sound, scripted but not enough going on. Nothing to be impressed by, although the graphics might be decent.

Also, totally Motorstorm rip-off, but with weather effects and worse crashing effcts.

The ‘no vehicle damage’ cheat was activated - right?

how the hell did that helicopter fly in in that storm.....also, the path seemed fairly linear considering its supposed to be open world....would have expected more of a burnout paradise style race course.

Why are cars being air-dropped onto the starting grid?
Why would someone fly in those conditions..?

Silly. I must be getting old.

Looks like a lot of fun.

Obviously, every offroad racing type of game nowadays is a Motor Storm ripoff. *sigh*
Also, Motor Storm is only available to PS3, whereas this one will be available to all.

I'm pretty sure I'll end up buying this on release day - I am a sucker for racing games after all - but I must admit that the videos I've seen so far, this one included, haven't really managed to convince me whether this game is likely to be great, or at least decent, or the exact opposite.

I guess I'll find out soon enough :).

Well, a very respectable 6th.

I don't think this looks too bad. Worth a rent.

Motorstorm Madness indeed. Love the HUD and signposting though.

it's amazing how the checkpoints and direction signs don't blow away yet a great big building does

I love this, Fantastic

pretty unstable framerate with a lot of frame drops

it's amazing how the checkpoints and direction signs don't blow away yet a great big building does

+1

It's also amazing how a "fiercely competitive game without boundaries"* seems to extend to you racing around a track, hitting checkpoints, just like every other racer out there.

"In FUEL, if you can see it, you can drive to it, taking any route – on or off-road – that you want."*
