One of the more exciting games revealed at THQ’s showcase today was Wreckreation, a racing game in the style of Trackmania or Hot Wheels Unleashed with an emphasis on custom content and editing courses on the fly.<\/p>\n

The game’s announcement trailer features befuddled local radio chatter about the gravity-defying race tracks that have suddenly appeared in the sky, before cutting to some cinematically-shot gameplay of racing and vehicular destruction on the aerial loop-de-loops. The trailer demonstrates the game’s capacity for track building and customization with a player placing and resizing obstacles and track features as other players\/NPCs race.<\/p>\n

The car-on-car violence certainly has my interest. The Trackmania series has been offering “Hot Wheels but life-sized” racing action on roller coaster-looking courses for a long time now, but with a focus on pure time trial gameplay. Wreckreation looks to offer something a little bit messier, with progressive damage wearing down the cars and the ability to run your opponents off the road. It’s like a Smash Bros. four player free-for-all with items to Trackmania’s Fox-only, Final Destination.<\/p>\n

Wreckreation’s sandbox building also holds a lot of promise. The Trackmania games have a more traditional level editor, while Wreckreation seems to have something more akin to Halo’s Forge mode, with on-the-fly editing of the world occurring alongside active races. Wreckreation does not yet have a release date, but it has gone live with a page on Steam.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
