[crazyken76]

defo getting this when does it come out ? :thumbsup:

[jim76]

That looks ace. Will wait for the reviews though. I'm guesting it won't have realistic handling and set up options! lol

[qatmix]

I hope it has a proper RC viewpoint. (i.e you can view it from a fixed pivot position, if the tracks are large at least the camera will just move along a fixed plane)

Also glad to see its not got power-ups.

I'd love to play an RC game on my console (not a std racing game with small cars, which all previous ones have been). I'm hopeful this will be it.

[Benjy1]

This would be cool if we could connect up our own transmitters to play it.

:thumbsup:

[daz]

Looks like an updated Micromachines. Love it.
I used to love racing the dragster around the bog seat:lol:

[Yadayada]

Game has 4 viewpoints (camera modes) , the default is a rostrum camera.
There are no behind car or in car cameras, it's an RC game afterall!

8 vehicle classes , some of which are very fast to drive.

Game is highly "social" , you can race / challenge / brag to your psn friends.
Post to social feeds etc.

All events feature leaderboards (312 boards in total ) so you an see where you stand in global rank terms and how you rank amongst your friends.

Hope you enjoy it when it finally ships.

Paul.

[qatmix]

Good to hear it. I'll get it when it comes out. I remember chatting to some evo guys at Develop, and them saying that rc was a popular hobby amongst the guys. Can't wait to play it.

Also can you config the controls for throttle on the left and steering on the right?

[Yadayada]

Yes, we decided to have completly re-definable controls. So you can use buttons or sticks in any combination. So if youre left handed you can configure as such. If you want throttle on rhs stick in the +X axis you can...

[Juttie]

Any idea when is out?

[Disco-Panda]

When is this going to be out?? i am craving to play it!!!!!

[Layloo9136]

Well it certainly looks a lot better than Apocolypse was. Loved the first two Motorstorms but the last was rather dull.

I have the RC game off PSN but like quat said, its a behind view so more of an RC 'themed' game than an RC game so as the viewpoints have been confirmed this could be quite interesting.

The best part about it is, is that due to RC already being an accessible hobby, maybe it will bring even more new people into the sport like so many games incite interest in other activities (thankfully not shooting people however haha).

[farmboy]

No - it has a proper RC view, as if you're on the rostrum.

[matthew]

just stumbled across this tread and this game does look awesome will have to get it, does anybody know a ruff date of when its out?

[Body Paint]

@ Vita launch, Feb 2012

I think I can see a divorce coming if I take car racing into my living room aswell :lol:

[Layloo9136]

Having just been playing it on my PS Vita - I can confirm it is a great, great game! Control is set so that the left stick is steering and right accelerate but you can soon swap that round to get the perfect RC feel. There is another control scheme to try but its great to use the true RC method and set up even if it feels a little alien to steer with the right thumb stick haha

So if it hit the Vita store this afternoon, I can assume it will be hitting the PS3 store tomorrow :thumbsup:

[Juttie]

On ps3 store right now downloading as we speak.

[msxmre]

Game's superb, downloaded for Vita and PS3 and it costs less than £5.
Scotty....

[Welshy40]

Tbh it looks a lot like rc revolt which you can get for the pc online. You can buy a playstation two adaptor and use the joypads like a transmitter. Ok there are over a 1000 race tracks available and cars and the graphics and game play still hasnt been beaten yet (well may have been equalled) so maybe someone can comment on the differences.

[Juttie]

Just a shame there is no online racing?

[kartdemon]

Reminds me of Skidmarks on the Amgia (THE GAME!) and Reckless Racing on the IPad.

Regardless will deffo be downloading this on the PS3 in the next 5 mins...

[Freakypen]

Skidmarks on the Amiga-THAT was amazing!! I rem it when the caravan racing came out-so damn funny and really addictive!! :thumbsup:
What about Ivan Stewarts(?)Ironman-like shortcourse racing-was brill too.

[Funkymojo]

Game looks really good...For those of you that want to play some offroad racing online, try this game out. It's pretty fun...

http://www.mousebreaker.com/games/offroaders

[Freakypen]

Ok silly question time-I've just bought and downloaded ( the download took about 3 secs?)this from the playstation store-but I can't find it under my game section on the homescreen where my other game downloads are:confused: What am I doing wrong??Heeelp

[Freakypen]

Ok-it will let me download the trial-have I just paid £4.95 for a trial or the full game?Isn't the full game available yet?Sorry-I never use my ps3 much :blush:

[Dudders]

Wouldn't let me download at all, I'll await the disc copy :cry:

[Dr_UpGrade]

Freaky,
I had the same problem, but shutdown and reloaded the game and I've got access to the full game, or as far as I can tell...

Neil, thats a shame!!

[Freakypen]

I can download the top one(the trial version) and the vita one (bottom one) . When I try the middle one (the full game) it says-downloading....then download complete but this all takes about 3 secs...:confused:

[Freakypen]

Ok-trial downloaded-and doesn't say trial anymore-guess it is the full game..nothin like makin it straighforward,,doh!

[Freakypen]

This is just about ok for 5 mins-but really-it sucks as anything you can actually properly race. IMO of course. :)

[budgio]

Shouldnt this have been posted in the gaming section ? :D

Anyway, just splashed out the £4.79 on it for PS3 and im really liking it.Its reminding me of Super offroad,Powerdrive rally and micro machines all rolled into one.

Very addictive

[johnnygibbon]

Good little Rc game
Playable and pretty damn good for a fiver
Hope it does well and gos online so we can all race online

[hotrodchris]

it's addictive but also annoying with the control set up i would rather the left stick did throttle and brake and the right stick did the steering just like a stick tranny!:woot:
But def worth under a fiver!:thumbsup:

[Dr_UpGrade]

Chris,
you can set it up like that, I have!:thumbsup:

[Jamesk]

Its great fun and very well done so far, think the weekend will be in front of the TV a lot again !!
