Bugbear's Next Car Game

[EngineNo9]

Bugbear, the makers of Flatout and Rally Trophy, have just announced their Next Car Game with a trailer and website.  I sure hope that's not the real name, but it is real in-game footage of some demo derby action.    

It's just a teaser, but better than what most companies consider a teaser.

Please let this be something along the lines of Test Drive: EoD. With physics closer to Flatout than Rally Trophy.

I was also a big fan of Test Drive: Eve of Destruction, and would love an updated version of that style of game from Bugbear!  They've said it is somewhat of a return to their FlatOut 1 roots, so I wouldn't expect anything much like Rally Trophy.

Well, I thought Rally Trophy was awful, so let's hope not. Would love some jump races, figure 8s, etc.

Huh, RT is one of the best rally games released - what's to hate about it? I thought it had some of the best physics in a rally game to date - IMO only CM Rally 2005 bested it in that department. I'll admit the complete twit co-pilot was bloddy annoying and cardboard-cutout like fans were ridiculous, but everything else about that game was more than decent.

I enjoyed FlatOut 1 and 2 every bit as much though, despite them being much more arcadish racers. And I'll 3rd TD EoD as a very fun game too. I loved the demo derbys in FlatOut 2, so I'll be more than happy if this plays like that.

I know there were people that liked RallyTrophy, but I'll take Richard Burns...or Mobil 1 for that matter. I have a heard time remembering which CMR was the best at this point...maybe 2.0?  I found it impossible to drive in a straight line in RT going 30 mph on dry pavement. At that point, I was playing rally games a lot, and I felt like it was dramatically overtuned to where tings that were easy in real life were much too difficult.

I enjoyed Rally Trophy despite how fiddly the handling was, but considering that was Bugbear's first game and came out 12 years ago I'm not sure it has much bearing on their current physics and handling.  I would love to see them revisit that concept with all the things they've improved and learned since then.

Regardless...demo derby!
