“Wreckreation” Is a Burnout Spiritual Successor, Developed By the Same Devs
The vice-like grip that Burnout games had over the driving genre in the 2000s will be recalled by gamers of certain ages and volition. They served a special need that other racing titles couldn’t, from the Burnout to Fireball: Paradise (and its 2018 remaster by EA). Pure, wanton destruction.
While the purists may have Gran Turismo or Forza to keep their spirits up, anyone who has played these games can vividly recall the thrill of driving over an opponent driver and making their car pure scrapyard food. It was amazing.
The Wreckreation is here. THQ Nordic revealed Wreckreation at their 2022 Digital Showcase. It will be very familiar to fans of the Burnout and Need For Speed game, and former Criterion Games employees are developing it.
Wreckreation is a project of Three Fields Entertainment. It focuses on creating havoc with friends. You can edit tracks in the sandbox environment on the fly and slow-mo takedown cameras in the standard races. What could your friend do with a ramp that would ruin their racing lines? Drop one in, and chaos will ensue. You can also create your courses thousands up in the air. This looks like the popular custom races in Grand Theft Auto Online.
