After nearly a year since its initial release on Steam Early Access, BugBear's tentatively-titled Next Car Game finally has an official name: after much deliberation with the active community, Next Car Game is now known as 'Wreckfest'. This is going to take some getting used to – we're so used to referring to Next Car […]
NewsIt's been a long while since we were last treated to an update for Next Car Game on Steam Early Access, but BugBear has now lifted the bonnet on the long-awaited latest build, and it's a pretty substantial update. The reason for the long wait is that BugBear has been hard at work on a […]
NewsFor pure fun factor, Next Car Game is shaping up to be one of our favourite racing game releases of the year, with its no rules racing resulting in absolute carnage around every corner. So, when the Steam Early Access build was recently updated with a new Sandy circuit, Alan quickly hopped back into the […]
NewsIt's been some time since we took Next Car Game for a spin, but now our appetite for destruction has been reignited with the release of a new update for the Steam Early Access build, adding several new tracks and a host of new features. The main new addition is the Sandpit racetrack, which should […]
NewsSo far we've tried out a wealth of PC racing sims on the TeamVVV Test Rig, but now it's time for something different. Taking a welcome break from all the serious simulators, Alan turned his swanky setup into a banger racer for a bash at BugBear's Next Car Game, a game that's whetted my appetite […]
NewsThe figure of 8 track is a staple circuit in the demolition derby scene, filled with crossovers deliberately placed to maximise the wanton destruction on display. Watching daredevil drivers barely scrape though is nail-biting, and the inevitable accidents are crowd-pleasingly brutal. Naturally, then, figure of 8 tracks are obligatory when it comes to demolition derby racing […]
NewsI'll admit it: I am hopeless addicted to Next Car Game. Its brand of destructive no rules racing is right up my street in direct contrast to the po-faced serious sims. It's just a shame that, in its early pre-alpha phase, there is very little variety in terms of available cars and tracks. So, to […]
NewsSince its hurried release on Early Access last year in time for Christmas, it's fair to say I've been thoroughly enjoying BugBear's Next Car Game, a spiritual successor to FlatOut with hands-down the most impressive damage modelling in a racing game to date. Its initial release felt rather light on content however, with only a […]
NewsNext Car Game is proving to be one of the biggest success stories for the indie crowd-funding scene, especially for a racing game, thanks to its innovative soft body damage modelling gaining widespread attention. Its initial Steam Early Access release, whereby Steam keys were sent out to anyone who pre-ordered Next Car Game, resulted in […]
NewsNext Car Game was already released on Steam Early Access via Steam Keys sent out before Christmas to anyone who preordered the game from BugBear's website, but now it's been made publicly available to order directly through Steam. It arrives on Steam as a result of BugBear's highly successful Greenlight campaign, where Next Car Game […]
NewsIt's fair to say that a large chunk of my Christmas holiday period was spent causing rampant carnage in BugBear's superb crash 'em up Next Car Game. Turns out I wasn't the only one. As an early Christmas present for loyal fans who preordered the game, BugBear unleashed their long-awaited Early Access build of Next […]
NewsI get back behind the wheel of BugBear's Next Car Game Early Access Pre-Alpha for another chaotic 24 car race, this time on the remaining tarmac track included in the Early Access Pre-Alpha. For this race, I thought I would take the slower, but more agile European-style supermini out for a spin. Predictably, it takes […]
NewsBugBear are bringing demolition derby back in a big way with Next Car Game. Last year's DiRT Showdown was the first racing game to feature last man standing demolition derby in years, but it wasn't quite on the same scale as this. In the second of our videos looking at the Early Access pre-alpha build […]
NewsBugBear's Next Car Game certainly got our engines revving with its impressive damage modelling showcased in the technology demo. We couldn't help but be intrigued to how this will transpire in the final game. Just in time for Christmas, BugBear has now unleashed an Early Access pre-alpha build of Next Car Game to everyone who […]
NewsThe release of the Next Car Game Technology Demo has whetted my appetite for destruction. This was my first chance to sample the revolutionary soft body deformation physics engine that will be powering the final game – potentially, this could set the new standard for car damage in racing games, as cars finally crumple and […]
NewsJust in time for Christmas, BugBear has released their highly anticipated Early Access build of Next Car Game. License keys have been sent out to anyone who preordered the game to download on Steam. This follows the Technology Demo which has also been made available for free to download, giving players a more representative glimpse […]
NewsBugBear is hoping to revoltionise our perceptions of vehicle damage in Next Car Game with its soft body deformation system that allows you to bend, buckle and dismember your car beyond recognition. And judging from the release of the playable sneak peek technology demo, it looks as if they will succeed. The technology demo pitted […]
NewsBugBear has cancelled their Kickstarter campaign for Next Car Game after it failed to generate enough funding – with just over a week to go until the campaign was scheduled to finish, BugBear raised $81,772 since it started on November 1st, falling way short of its lofty $350,000 target. "Although our Kickstarter campaign has attracted […]
NewsBugBear's Next Car Game has gained some significant traction lately, having set up a Kickstarter campaign to gain more supporters and funding. Previously, we've seen screenshots and some tantalising video trailers showcasing the impressive soft body dynamic damage modelling, but BugBear have now presented a short video comprised of actual gameplay played by a developer […]
NewsBugbear have started a Kickstarter campaign to help fund their tentatively titled Next Car Game, a spiritual successor to the fabled FlatOut series that aims to revive the retired demolition derby genre. Next Car Game represents the game Finnish developer BugBear have always wanted to make, but could never get backing from publishers who believe […]
NewsI've said it before, and I'll say it again: when it comes to damage modelling, the majority of racing games fail to satisfy my sadistic appetite for destruction, with predefined damage modelling and primitive texture changes depicting scratched paintwork. Admittedly, this is often down to limitations imposed by real world car manufacturers who weep at […]
NewsFollowing last week's announcement that BugBear's Next Car Game, a reboot of their fabled FlatOut series with some ambitiously advanced damage modelling, that aims to bring the demolition derby genre out of hte scrapyard and back into the limelight, has been made available to preorder for a digital release in 2014, BugBear have created a […]
NewsI have a confession to make: as much as I love cars, I also have a sadistic love for seeing them smashed beyond recognition. Because of this, I spent a lot of my youth playing games like Destruction Derby, Burnout and FlatOut. And when a game placed less emphasis on such wanton destruction, I improvised […]
NewsFinnish developer BugBear Entertainment, the former team behind the fabled FlatOut franchise and the recent Ridge Racer: Unbounded, has teased a new upcoming demolition derby project that is said to "go back to their roots." The project is currently known as working title "Next Car Game" for now, but a new website contains a teaser […]
