Fuel will present players with an astonishing no-boundaries playfield that's over 5,000 square miles (14,000+ km²) in size. Creating the ultimate competitive go-anywhere racing experience, the game has players competing across wildly different terrain and executing spectacular death-defying stunts as they race dozens of varied two and four-wheeled rides and explore this epic world on an unprecedented scale.
Fuel is set in an alternate present in which whole swathes of the globe have been ravaged by the effects of climate change brought on by decades of environmental abuse. Here oil prices have rocketed and yet a new breed of racing junkie takes to the wastelands, pitting their grungy home-tuned vehicles against each other in an all-new extreme sport as they compete to win fuel supplies. To triumph means travelling the wastelands to challenge the best; from the tsunami-wrecked pacific coast through the Nevada wastelands, including the Grand Canyon, up treacherous snow-capped mountains, thick forests, arid deserts, abandoned lakeside resorts and much more.
Codemasters has announced that a playable downloadable demo for its recently-released racer Fuel will be made available starting at 6AM PST today for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3.
The game is apparently recognized by Guinness World Records as having the largest playable area of any console game, featuring a whopping 5,560 square miles of drivable terrain. Read More »
Hey kids! Do you like fast motorcycles, intense multiplayer action, and godawful pop-punk tunes that would make Sid Vicious roll over in his grave? If so, we highly recommend you check out this new trailer from Codemasters' Fuel! Jokes aside, this is shaping up to be one of the cooler racing games in recent memory, as it will (presumably) allow you to race almost anywhere on a world map that's upwards of 5000 square miles. There's also something about a global catastrophe and climate change but, really, we're just in it for the racing. Read More »
Codemasters is beavering away on its new off-road racing game FUEL. Today, the UK-based developer/publisher released five new images from the game which accompany information about some of the new events coming to the experience.
'Events include 'Speed Run' where players must complete a course against the clock using any route they choose and 'Blitz', which has players dashing from checkpoint to checkpoint to reset the timer in a series of tense sprints. These challenges are complimented with classic events, such as 'Checkpoint', 'Circuit' and large-scale 'Raid' races, but come with a twist as FUEL's fully-open, corridor-free world powers real player choice when it comes to route selection and taking short-cuts.'
