For comparison, GTA San Andreas was 36 km^2…

It is based pretty much on the same premise as Powerslide. We can only hope that the car physics are as wonderful as Ratbag’s stuff.

This reminds me a lot of the great Australian game Powerslide from what seems eons ago.

Wishes Fallout 3′s world was a little more like this, not that it’s in anyway bad but this looks so varied and actually has some colours in it…

Well, it looks pretty. And having tornados and thunderstorms and such affect racing could be cool. But that kind of scale seems utterly wasted on a racing game. Hell, I’m not even particularly convinced it’s an improvement in Burnout Paradise.

@ The Chicken:
I think most people will get the Mad Max feeling just watching the trailer. I know I did, especially when that rusted-out Baracuda w/ the spoiler appeared.
@ Warp Zone:
Good point. Some racers give a speed boost to those lagging behind, or at least offer that as an option. But yeah, you’re right — there are those races at Nurburgring that are settled by a few a car lengths, but most are settled by 1/2 a mile and a lot of swearing.

Warpzone, there’d be a start and a finish. You’d then decide how you went from A to B.

I don’t get it.

Wouldn’t the race be decided once you started to get ahead of the other racers? Maintain your lead for a couple of miles, and there’s no way they can catch up with you.

Unless they limit the player’s ability to outdistance the other racers with, I don’t know, some artificial limit. A tornado that shoots Blue Shells or something.

You know what I’m saying? If everyone’s racing independently in a big open world, with no rules or starting line, after a few kilometers, it’s not a race any more, it’s just traffic.

Right?

@DeuceMojo: I think you mean Test Drive: Unlimited changed the game. Paradise is an inferior imitation of TDUs open world, and TDU came first.

This game looks fricking sweet.
