[p][/p][h3]Full Details on all Changes[/h3][p]Stalls:[/p]

• [p]Regenerate and repackage PSO data to significantly improve Stalls on PC. This work is ongoing to ensure the maximum possible coverage[/p]

[p][/p][p]Handling:[/p]

[p][/p][p]Settings:[/p]

• [p]Add settings button to the pause menu (redirects you to the DJ menu like the stats does the map)[/p]
• [p]Settings also now available in Opening race.[/p]
• [p]Video settings now available at the same time as Audio settings for consistency and to make them visible during events.
  [/p]

[p]Events:[/p]

• [p]Changed Race and Road Rages to have a pre authored time and weather to reduce difficulty spikes when driving predominantly at night or in bad weather. This does not affect any previous progress, all times, licence points and Live Medals remain valid. However it may make the events easier if you have not yet completed them (depending on the time of day and weather conditions were when you first played it!). See full list of changes at bottom of this update.
  [/p]

[p]Crash Fixes:[/p]

• [p]Fixed a crash when moving Live Mix Track Pieces near certain road pieces[/p][p][/p]

[p]Other Fixes:[/p]

[p][/p][p]Audio:[/p]

• [p]Adjusted Sirens so they faded in and out better as they drive past you and they don't suddenly cut off at 660m[/p]

[p][/p][p]EVENT CHANGE DETAILS[/p][p]The following Races have been changed to have the originally authored Time of Day and Weather to reduce difficulty spikes when driving predominantly at night or in bad weather. As stated above, this does not affect any previous progress - all times set, licence points earned and Live Medals recorded remain valid.

Drive, Build, Destroy – Your World, Your Rules
In Wreckreation, the world truly belongs to the player. The game’s groundbreaking Live Mix system allows instant world editing at any time. Players can reshape their surroundings by dropping loops, ramps, jumps, half pipes, and moving obstacles anywhere on the map. Weather, time of day, and traffic conditions can also be changed on the fly, letting players design their own race conditions and stunt challenges without ever leaving the game world.

The world of Wreckreation spans over 400 square kilometers (150 square miles), offering endless roads, off-road trails, and open spaces to explore. Behind the wheel of more than 50 fully customizable vehicles, players can set their own pace.

Key features include:

• Mix Up the Leaderboards: Compete for records in eight categories, from drifting and air time to stunts, near misses, and best lap times. Every road in the world can become a competition.
  
• Mix My World: Construct the ultimate driving paradise using hundreds of Live Mix objects. Build jumps, spirals, moving hazards, or entire floating racetracks above the clouds.
  
• Mix My Car: Personalize every vehicle down to the smallest detail. Adjust paint, finish, wheels, boost flames, engine sounds, and glass color. All customization options are available from the start.
  
• Mix My Music: Tune in to 16 radio stations covering a wide range of genres, from high-energy disco and electronic beats to smooth jazz and rock.
  
• Mix All Modes: Define how you play. Create standard races, drift tournaments, or team stunt events where every jump, spin, and crash earns points for your squad.
  
• Mix It All: Control the atmosphere of your world by adjusting weather effects, lighting, and traffic density at any moment.
  

Enjoy & stay tuned!

Sometimes, as advertised, it is all you really need, and Wreckreation is an excellent example of what you see is what you get. From Three Fields Entertainment, Wreckreation heralds the return of Burnout-style vehicular mayhem in an over-the-top sandbox for you and your friends to get lost in.

When it comes to racing games, I prefer arcadey and outlandish experiences over simulation, and I can’t think of a better series that exemplifies that approach to game design than Burnout. Specifically, both Burnout 3: Takedown and Burnout: Paradise come to mind, two games that share their DNA with Wreckreation, something that becomes apparent from the moment you boot into the arcade racer for the first time.

For the uninitiated, Wreckreation is a spiritual successor to the legacy of the Burnout games, and also shares some similarities with THQ’s other vehicular-based destruction simulator, Wreckfest.  Although it should be noted that Wreckreation is very much its own game,... Read more
