Wreckreation is Wreckfest sequel?

[Headbanger]

These guys seem pretty certain of it, They even mention it being taken away from Bugbear.

I hope it isn't being positioned as the sequel.....Looks like hot garbage.

[Zyddie]

Wreckreation have nothing to do with Wreckfest.

Excellent.

Thinking that youtube channel needs to be told.....

[Purple44]

From Bugbear latest News post:

" We hope that you and your close ones will have a relaxing holiday and that 2023 will bring you many wonderful things. Indeed, this year might be coming to an end but you can rest assured that you will be hearing from us in 2023 so stay tuned for exiting news. Until then, drive hard and die last! "

It look like we will finally hear from the Bugbear Devs here in the new future of what new project Bugbear been working on since the summer of 2021. :))

BugBear doesn't license out their engine for third party use.

Wreckreation uses unreal engine I think

Its YouTube. You can post anything you wish.

Always take it with a pinch of salt.

You guys realize that Embracer group bought THQ Nordic, which had already acquired Bugbear. So the people making Wreckreation, THQ Nordic OWN the IP. It is their to do whatever they want, even let a completely different studio make the next one. It is not unheard of...

Hence the question....

Anyhow, that particular channel has a considerable amount of financial backing and is seeking to integrate itself as a legitimate professional resource within the gaming industry, specifically with racing and simulation gaming, so they should have fact checkers,editors and contacts to verify any claims they make.

So, rather then it just being "you can post anything you like" it would seem they made a mistake in their reporting.

or even Flatout 3 and Flatout 4.....

Just watch the video. Would be nice see a new Test Drive Unlimited. But this time, there better be more than 10 seconds to finish the race online!!! Like what we saw in Test Drive Unlimited 2. GRRRR

It nice Bugbear gave us 60 seconds to finish a race. :))

BugBear doesn't license out their engine for third party use.

But it appears another developer is finishing Stuntfest. Did they change to a different game engine?

Hi Zeb, ya it got confusing when we saw this trailer for Stuntfest World back in June 30, 2022:

Only thing in common with Bugbear Stuntfest and Stuntfest World, is the Stuntfest name and that you can eject the driver.

With this announcement of this new game that using the Stuntfest name. I ask this of a THQN Dev over at the Wreckfest Discord:

Purple44 — 07/01/2022
now in hindsight, this was not fake news, except the part that Bugbear was behind this new Stuntfest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qttpd32T8h8

so will THQN\ @Home\ @Zyddie come here to WF discord and clear up the question, is Bugbear Stuntfest version dead?
[2:28 PM]
I tried asking Janne, but he can't tell me

Home — 07/01/2022
well If he cannot say neither can I or Zyddie comment on it

Purple44 — 07/01/2022

Good morning, Purple. To be honest, you better ask THQ about anything related to Stuntfest.
[2:31 PM]
so who we suppose to ask?

Home — 07/01/2022
I am not going to say at this time, I will enquire on monday but make no guarantees

Purple44 — 07/01/2022

Hopefully by Friday, we can get answer. I was told Dec, 2021, Stuntfest was not dead.

Here a video on Bugbear Stuntfest alpha Build that got release in the summer of 2016:

I will be asking Zyddie again next week if THQN has finally made a decsion yet on Bugbear's Stuntfest:

From Wreckfest discord:


Purple44 — 12/13/2022 1:39 AM
Zyddie — 11/10/2022 11:44 AM
Ah Purple was wondering what you were writing I dont know, the honest truth is i've been super busy and not had the chance to follow up and for that I'm sorry, it is not forgotten at all and it is something i will slowly actively follow up on during next week and hopefully have some news

>> Morning @Zyddie, hope you feeling much better this month. So has THQN made a decision yet? Will the Players that paid their $10 for alpha version of Stuntfest back in 2016, get a new update to Stuntfest after a wait of 6+ years? Or will there finally be an official announcement that Bugbear\ THQN have decide to move on and close the Stuntfest alpha for good? And not leave the Stuntfest players hanging, wondering if there ever will be an update to SF. Pre-ordering an alpha version of a game, come with a risk, you may never see a finish version. But it making Bugbear Devs look bad not being upfront with them for over 6 years now. These players deserve an answer! http://web.archive.org/web/20161120094828/http://www.wreckfestgame.com/stuntfest/

Got no answer from Zyddie when I posted question Dec 13, 2022. :(

Yeah I was certainly expecting something during the VGAs last month.
