A leisurely saunter through the UAC base lets you casually get attached to the game world, before the thick sense of impending disaster explodes in the most horribly visceral way imaginable. You’re suddenly alone in a dark and noisy world of fear and confusion. The people you met earlier are dead, dying, and torn to pieces. ...

Nov 2, 2004

Mental stock car pile-up FlatOut is released for PC, PS2 and Xbox this Friday and it's already been met by a slew of positive reviews. But what's it like working on a game during its very final stages of development? 3D artist Ilari Lehtinen talks us through it...Here's the good news: this is it. Or very, very close to it. No, we're not gold yet at the time of writing but all the to-do lists on our project server are showing 'OK' or '95%' for almost all tasks. We'll have fierce competition in ...

Flatout (Preview)

Apr 27, 2004

The track changes with each collision, each spectacular crash, but you're oblivious to the debris that comes flailing your way. This will be a hellish final lap but you're driving to win. You're driving FlatOut.This new flavour of ...
