Well Wreckfest is FANTASTIC.

Been playing it for the last 3 hrs and grinned the whole time. Can't wait to play against my boys tomorrow.

Superb fun. Wonderful

The only issue I have with Wreckfest is there doesn't seem to be any couch multiplayer.

True, no split screen option. But that won't stop us as we each have our own XB1 / XSX (presume it's possible to pay across the console generations?)

Wait, Wreckfest is like Flatout? In!

I've been playing a lot of BFV on gamepass. It's cool that it's included as I had no idea EA pass or whatever was part of Gamepass.

Weird going from PC BF to xbox BF though. Movement and aiming seems so much more sluggish. Still enjoyable though, I just don't dominate how I did on the PC. I think the last BF I played on console was Bad Company 2 all those years ago.

Same dev too!

It would be great if this got the 60fps treatment. A bit resource intensive perhaps?

Oh, and I would be in for some online carnage. This is my kinda jam.

Wreckfest is so good. I’m onto the 3rd championship and it’s really getting good. The courses with the jumps/deathloops and obstacles are just incredible. The destruction is immense, as you get towards the end of the longer races and there are cars and bits all over the track, you catch backmarkers, and they then try to ram you. So much fun. Incredible value from game pass.

I play on PC only, but knowing halo infinite is coming, as well the other Forza/gears titles being on there, and then with all the other games, it’s nuts. With the trick, it’s £40 a year and it’s mind blowing.

Just bought Wreckfest a few weeks ago too. Ah well, totally worth the price anyway.

Wreckfest is an absolute whole bunch of fun.

I've noticed Fifa has been on sale recently so I wonder if that will follow soon (hopefully alongside NHL).

Back to Wreckfest, that Reliant vs 23 school buses race is strawberry floating ridiculous fun.

It’s a highlight. But I think it keeps improving. Wait until you are the school bus!

Does the Fake Punt trick still work?
The last NFL game I played was on the Megadrive and they always used to fall for the fake punt even on 1st down.

I did enjoy that.

Highlight for me so far has been the 12-lap race with the crazy parallel table tracks with tabletops that lead to the cars criss-crossing between them. Might not have felt that way if i didnt finish first.

The AI is specatacularly good on this, they make so many human errors and get clipped on the crossovers etc with the same regularity that a human player would. Its the first game in years (probably since one of the old F1 games on PS3) that has actually enocuraged defensive positioning in to corners to prevent getting tapped and spun round. In most games you know the AI will slam on the brakes to avoid you, allowing you to take pretty much what ever outside line on a bend that you want.

Bonus points for the trigger rumble on this - its as good as in Forza Horizon 4 (which is to say VERY good).

I've been taking a few shots to show the carnage. Forget racing lines, pick a line to survive!

Yup. That's definitely how Wreckfest goes. Get damage onto intense, and even regular races can end up like after half of the race is gone.
