There's a lot of vehícules. I'm kind lost within all of them though. Are there some big tipology like Strong/slow, Weak/Fast kind of thing?
Speed doesn't matter since position doesn't equate to winning.
Think overwatch, vehicles have abilities on cooldown and have a super, and you utilize them to complete an objective while GOING (not racing) around a track.
I wonder if you could even make a Sniper style car in this game.
I know we have someone from Codemasters here on Resetera, if you are about. Tell us, which car is the "Hanzo" of this game?

That kinda makes sense actually. It's trying something different and I Iove my racers so I'll definitely keep an eye on it.
They're gonna add new tracks and new cars (it's not clear if it's more models for the classes, or entirely new classes altogether like Overwatch has done with new characters) and new modes for free post-launch, supposedly.
Oh cool stuff, did they make it clear if they are following that OW approach then? Because that'd be interesting, if they have like a loot box system sort of like theirs with continuing things to unlock during events.
There are lootboxes, but they only unlock cosmetic skins, as of now. Codemasters has never really used them before, so I trust them on this.
Hold on.....this looks like alot of fun.
How come ive not been more excited for this?
Tell me it has couch multiplayer....if it does im sold.
If it doesnt im sold.
Why did Sony get rid of Evolution??....well im fine cuz it hopefully means a PC version is in the works.
This at beyond 60fps could be the next big arcade racer.
Game looks beautiful, physics look a little bit too much on the arcade side, but will try it anyways.
Got a go with this game at EGX Rezzed. Couldn't really get a handle on what my abilities were for most of it but the game is a lot of fun and it's cool to see someone come up with an interesting racing gamemode that doesn't rely much on convention. I'm a massive fan of the Motorstorm games and this scratches that itch somewhat, while also very much being it's own thing. The way scoring and winning works is genuinely exciting. There's mechanics that teleports you to where the action is happening if you get too far ahead or too far behind. The basic goal of hitting checkpoints also doesn't get tiring because there's a lot of room to take different paths and lines on the tracks and it seemed like the goalposts of the checkpoints shrank depending on whether you were winning or losing. Both races I played were super close. My favourite ultimate was Vortex', it's nuts how much that wave can dominate the space behind you. Kinda made me really want a Mad Max game in this style, with a bunch of different classes of vehicles in a perpetual clash along long stretches of road.

Eventually, after the console version, and that's all we know.
I have a hard time deciding if I want this or not. It looks fun, and I would love for something to scratch my MotorStorm itch, but with this having no actual racing, hmm... I'm just not sure I really want a vehicle-based action game.
But I'm definitely gonna give the open beta a chance when it drops. Hopefully playing the game will convince me that its concept is a good idea!

Glad the vehicles are not licenced. Means there should be no issue having it backwards compatible on Xbox Three
I don't think the vehicles are distinct enough (not that this is a problem, it's just a fact of this being a...driving game? "racing" doesn't really describe it lol). I'm pretty impressed at how they managed to make vehicle equivalents to the standard DPS/Healer/Tank trichotomy in the first place!
2 years later, still waiting for that free for all and team deathmatch modes in overwatch. ...any day now.
