After three years (and counting) in early access, smashbash racing game Wreckfest should finally launch in full this year. Publishers THQ Nordic today announced their “cooperation” with developers Bugbear Entertainment, joining forces to help give the game a shove across the finish line later this year.

Anything is possible in Wreckfest developers Bugbear Entertainment’s latest, Stuntfest [official site]. Its main purpose is to build things so you can blow them up. It is an excellent opportunity to observe the ways your car and the scrap metal creations you build can implode, explode, topple, or even sail into the sun. Who knows? While Stuntfest holds to the law of physics pretty faithfully, Bugbear notes that you’ll have the option to tweak these laws to choreograph impossible scenarios.
Bugbear, the makers of the glorious FlatOut, recently announced a crowd-funded car crashing game, intermediately titled Next Car Game. To help tempt you with those papery things in your wallet, they’ve released a video detailing the destruction engine that the game will have. You should watch it, and make sure your hands are free so you can give it a round of applause. It’s beautiful.

Vroom-vroom! Vrrrrrr, rrrrrr, squeeeeeeeeeeech! Kkkkkkrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaannnnng, kablooom! That’s the sound of me racing along the motorway of news, using videogame physics to slow myself by scraping along the scenery, and finally sceeching to a halt in the park space marked “Ridge Racer: Drifttopia and the closed beta now live on Steam”. Yes, that’s a thing which you can strap yourself in for here. The eventual full release will be free to play, though details are scarce on precisely what that will entail. That’s the question for 2013, isn’t it? What kind of free are we talking about?
Regardless, there’s a very pretty light show of a trailer just down past 42nd street, through the roundabout’s third exit and under the cut.
