FlatOut 4: Total Insanity Review
Ойындар
A serviceable smash 'em up-slash-stunt racer let down by a bit too much repetition.

I miss Flatout 2, where cars seemed to be realistic with almost every visible piece imaginable upon it was able to be ripped off and or smashed. Though maybe those Flatout days will not ever return...

And Ultimate Carnage still has more particles and destruction than this game.
I had Flatout Ultimate Carnage on my 360° when I was ten years old. It was one of my favorite games to play period. So.e much destruction and chaos. The AI was hilarious sometimes especially the ones that always came in last place in Derby cars. Let's just say they were all over the place. It was a game I could sit and play for hours in the demo derbies or stunts. The campaign races were fun. Overall I think if they can get some revitalization with Flatout 4 maybe they can make Flatout 5 way better than all the previous games
think I'll just wait for wreckfest. Damage system looks utter crap in flatout 4.

Tonnato The Annoying That's what I'm actually hoping for. Rather than being a completed game, I hope it ends up like Planetside 2, War Thunder, or World of Tanks, games that are never technically "finished", receiving continual updates and loads of content half a decade after their release. Bugbear themselves say they took some aspects from War Thunder into consideration when initially making Wreckfest, so hopefully my speculation about their development process is true.

Wreckfest is not a FlatOut game. No arcade racing, no ragdolls... no development.
After the atrocity that was FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction, a competently made FlatOut game is a godsend, even if it's not as good as the BugBear editions. I kind of wish they had brought back some of the original drivers though, like Frank Malcov and Katie Jackson. They gave the games some personality.

I believe that characters in 2 and Ultimate Carnage have a different AI programming to them. Example being Jack Benton who always wants to get first place or Frank Malcov with his tendency to be a bulldozer and wreck everything.

Bugbear is having a good laugh at this game. Physics and damage model is no where near close to older FOs, And why make completely different vehicles? Why not just make a revised version of the cars like from older FOs too?
Luke does such a good job of summing up racing games and distinguishing them from other racing games. Bravo, Luke!

I miss the physics of flatout 1. The way the cars would drift and flip was so much fun. Every race felt different because of it. Idk about this one though..
I'm just now finding out that Flatout had 2, 3, and 4. I played the first on the original Xbox YEARS ago and kinda forgot about it. The soundtrack brought me back and thats how I found out
As long as it washes the bad tastes of Flatout 3 out of my mouth, it's a-ok in my book.
I didn't even know they were making a flatout 4
Me and my little cousins would always crack up when you send the driver flying 😂😂😂😂
Whats the system requirements ? put a minimum and recommended and optimal screen in start of the video. thanks you guys are awesome
Amazon says this game releases on may 2nd? Super early review?
How do I exit the stunts ? It goes straight into it and I cant get off them. Please help !!
I have FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage on pc and psp i remembered playing this for months so much fun and the graphics and physics are really good.
For a studio's first racing game ever, I was surprised to see how faithful it is to the original series. With a better physics system, more tracks and actual unique drivers, this game would have easily struck gold and been just as good as Ultimate Carnage. I am hyped for FlatOut 5 by the same studio if it ever comes out, a couple improvements and we'll finally have an amazing sequel.

Anyone know how to get the actual menu? Like to career etc. When I press to continue I get sent straight to mini games
I remember playing the originals on the og xbox I feel like I wont ever be able to sense the nostalgia ever again
i miss burnout paradise! was one of the few racing games that i really enjoyed and did a 100% completion!
Money is super easy to get. Go to the easier races and slam power hit and boom the opponents. Each time you get one of those hits on an opponent it's worth money. They very first race I did I got 3300$ when I came in fourth. The thing that makes it not feel like flat out to me is the handling is nowhere near what the first two were. They had really great natural forces and drift feeling. The new one feels contrived
Just wait till bugbear's new game, wreckfest, it comes out late spring/summertime this year...
I can wait for Gravel..
Hey, a Flatout successor that actually released to the market
How’s this compare to wreckfest?
This looks to me as another Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 case, but I haven't played ir yet so can't say
When remastered Motorstorm Apocalypse will released on PS4? Or any plan by evolution to make a game similar like that for PS4? Is this game playable in 4 players splitscreen? Is there remastered Twisted Metal game for PS4 for 4 players?

xShane1122x yeah I'm having the same issue with xbox. it seems no one knows when this game is going to come out. 4 different stores have release dates. xbox support first said it was digital only and would be out today and then told me they don't know when it will be out....wtf???
Seems like quite a fair review. If the online is any good, i may pick it up down the line on sale.
While I am glad it looks like the series is back towards a direction it used to be in, it just isnt the same without the characters of 2 and UC, nor the soundtracks that came with them... not the developers fault, but its just not the same when you arent pinning Katie Jackson's red Chilli Pepper against a pole while Yellowcard blasts in the background. The stunt mode looks like a lot of fun though. Be neat to see what Flatout 5 entails
I didn't even knew this was announced
Can the driver get launched through the windshield in the regular races? It didn't look like it which is disappointing. That was my favorite part of the first two games.

Why isnt there a new Burnout or Motorstorm yet?

Hey, flatout 4 is not a bad game. It's actually competently good. The problem is, 2 and ultimate carnage are fantastic games, and there is no competition with fo4. But at least devs actually tried and they rolled out something you can enjoy playing. THEN they should play FO:UC just to know how good flatout games can get.
I played FlatOut 1 & 2 on the PS2, and somehow I had no idea there even a FlatOut 3! I heard there was a FlatOut 4 and it really surprised me, was looking into getting it but with a 6.6 IDK.

6.6/10 - Too much insanity.
Why do recent games tone down the damage rate? Compare GTA5 to GTA4, Flatout 2 to this,... Now that we reached a point that damage physics could be awesome with modern computing power, the developers choose to keep them to a minimum.
but what about the soundtracks?
Flatout or moterstorm which is best
Everyone is talking about Wreckfest and they can't realize its not a spiritual successor of Flatout anymore.
Actually looks pretty cool
this actually looks like my kind of racer. Im not really into cars so don't like simulations. wish namco would bring back or remake Ridge Racer
I really miss Katie Jackson, Jason Walker and Frank Malcov
Looks fun, but it's so similar to Flatout 2 I think I'm gonna just keep playing the first two games on my good old PS2.
