Wreckfest: rilasciato update di Febbraio con nuove piste gratuite

Tramite il forum Bugbear ha annunciato il rilascio dell'update di Febbraio per Wreckfest.

In questo nuovo update sono disponibili due nuovi tracciati in modo completamente gratuito: il primo tracciato è il Thunderbowl, dedicato agli amanti dei demolition derby. Questa arena, che ricorda la forma di una "ciotola" (da qui il nome Thunderbowl), vede i concorrenti partire da una posizione sopraelevata da parti opposte, con l'azione che si sviluppa nel centro dell'arena. Il secondo tracciato reso disponibile è il Tribend Speedway, un tracciato ad altissima velocità dove non mancheranno incidenti spettacolari anche grazie all'aggiunta di un layout con ostacoli e rampe.

Con questo update inoltre vediamo anche dei bugfix che migliorano il gameplay e che vanno a correggere gli errori riportati dalla community, come ad esempio la chat vocale non funzionante e i caricamenti troppo lunghi su PS4. La versione PC ha già ricevuto molte di queste correzioni nell'hotfix precedente.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Two new tracks: Thunderbowl & Tribend Speedway

We're pleased to announce the availability of a new content update!

It's been a long time since new demolition derby tracks were added to the game, and we're happy to let you know that finally derby fanatics get some love too: this content update introduces a thunderous new derby arena called Thunderbowl! This bowl-shaped arena sees the players starting higher up at either end, and making the dash of death to the middle section where total war rages. The shape and design of the arena provides fresh, electrifying gameplay experience, so even if you're not so hot about derbies in general make sure to give it a go!

And that's not all: we're also adding a race track called Tribend Speedway. It's a high-speed crash-fest that started its life in the twisted mind of the ever so industrious modder Theveryend (Tor Ole Lerbæk) and comes also with an alternate layout featuring ramps and additional obstacles, guaranteed to crank up destruction all the way to eleven.

We're also constantly working on improving the gameplay experience based on the feedback. PlayStation 4 users can finally use voice chat in multiplayer as well as enjoy reduced loading times. Also worth noting this time around is the adjustment to the launch logic at event start, bringing automatic, manual and manual clutch users to equal grounds. Please find below a summary of items fixed or improved upon in this release.
