This a a early look at “Fuel” which is an upcoming off-road game by Codemasters who also developed DIRT and GRID. According to the Codemasters website Fuel will be released this May. Fuel will feature of many different vehicle types over landscape that is generated by satellite data for what I guess can be an an open world type experience.
There are over 70 different vehicles with which to take on any challenge that FUEL’s stunning environment throws at you. On-road and off-road bikes, cars, quads, trucks, buggies and dragsters take dangerous short-cuts, perform death-defying jumps and tear through spectacular cross-over points.
FUEL’s landscape is powered by cutting-edge technology and, using satellite data, features some of the most exciting and inspiring areas of America – including the Grand Canyon, Yosemite National Park, Mount Rainier and much more. In FUEL, if you can see it, you can drive to it, taking any route – on or off-road – that you want. With a draw distance of 40KM, 100,000 miles of roads, tracks and trails and hundreds of race events FUEL’s epic world demands to be explored.
Bringing this vast, open ended landscape to life is a dramatic and dynamic weather system that includes tornados, sandstorms, blizzards, lightening and thunderstorms, which all affect the environment and race strategy plus a full day night cycle.
