No crossplay is a bummer. I'd enjoy playing with the xbox crew.
I haven't been playing but it remains installed and it receives regular large updates. The devs appear to drop seasonal events so it would be a good one for a regular group to add to their schedule.

Re: Wreckfest
Now this is what an update should be. Very interested now.Vienna, Austria / Helsinki, Finland, March 29th, 2021 - The critically acclaimed demolition racer Wreckfest is ready to wreck on PlayStation5 starting June 1st, 2021!
The PlayStation5 version offers the best Wreckfest experience on consoles ever and takes full advantage of the PlayStation5's hardware power. Not only does the new version offer enhanced visuals such as dynamic dirt on vehicles, better textures, and improved visual effects. Additionally, it also runs with a wonderful 4K resolution at a smooth 60 frames per second. The multiplayer features 24 players now, for even more intense carnage on the race tracks.
Here is an overview of the added enhancements:
Dynamic dirt on vehicles
Improved shadows, particles, and environment lighting
Higher resolution textures
Increased amount of foliage
Godrays
New visual effects for skidmarks
DualSense haptic effects
Much faster loading times
Re: Wreckfest
I love my racers and arcade racers but I just didn't get this. It didn't really gel and I'm not sure why.
Vzzzbx, you lose again!

Re: Wreckfest
Loving this with my Game Pass subscription. Playing on Series X.
It's meant to be optimised for Series X/S, but doesn't have the little Series X/S logo or appear with my other Series X/S games when I view all my games. In fact, it doesn't even appear with the optimised for One X games either. I dunno. There is an option in the settings to switch between 4k and 1080p.
Either way, most fun I've had in a racing game in a very long time.

Re: Wreckfest
Seriously. My second favourite racing game ever after PGR2.
The PS5 version is just gold again. Absolutely no regrets naming this my 2019 GOTY.
The physics are what make it for me. It just feels so right.
Just pure fun.
RIGHTEOUS FURY

Re: Wreckfest
The physics are fantastic. The AI is amazing too. I'm not used to cars not all following the same racing line Taking out a car perfectly and continuing on your way is so satisfying.Twiztid Elf wrote: ↑06 May 2021 08:25 pm

Burnout 2 is one of my favourites and this is very different, but it's bringing back a lot of the same fun vibes.

Re: Wreckfest
Finally got this for $15. I know I could get it for free on Gamepass but I'd rather own a copy and get Gamepass when I need it

Re: Wreckfest
Fuck this game is so good. Some of the absolute chaos that happens out of nowhere on the last lap is just amazing. Going to have to try out some PC multiplayer soon but there's not much activity on the servers
