Spintires: Mudrunner/snowrunner

Silver Arrows
I hope they do. Because otherwise, I doubt this game has a long shelf life. It would be interesting to see how they do mods, however, especially considering that they don't have the benefit of a set up system like Steam Workshop. Maybe a set up like Bethesda has for console mods?

From the official forums:
"Hi there,
At this time, we don't plan on supporting console modding at the time of release."

I hope they can at least bring it past release, as without map mods the game will die very shortly after release.

Whelp.
 
I guessing making mods available on console is way harder than putting them on PC, I don't know how that all works though. Also I'm not sure how much Microsoft or Sony like their files to be tampered with. With Steam, it'll be super easy since it'll have the Workshop.

Here's the thing: Microsoft is fine with it, alongside cross platform play. Fallout 4 allows up to a gigabyte of mods to be installed on Xbox One. Sony, however, is absolutely anal about their files being messed with, and couldn't be arsed in allowing cross platform play between competition. Again with Fallout 4, you could only hold 900 MB of data for mods, and no licensed stuff. (Meaning new weapons, half the reason I was excited for console mods to begin with, wasn't available)

It can be done. I know Farming Simulator also has console mods available so I'm guessing it's not too hard for developers, if they are willing to put the work in.
 
I remember Spintires seeming so compelling, but something about the physics / controls / interaction with the terrain felt hollow.

I guess I shouldn't have expected it to be like Screamer 4x4. Now there's a game worthy of a sequel.

I'm glad this is getting a proper go at a release, though, and I'll keep an eye on it at least.
 
For anyone still wanting to sample the original Spintires, which is superb IMHO (particularly with all the fan mods as mentioned above), Bundlestars often have it on sale at around GBP 5.00 or so, and often a good deal for two keys. Not on offer currently, unfortunately, but worth keeping an eye on.

Yeah, I honestly wouldn't recommend the original version for full price even with mods (I got it from Bundlestars a while ago), but the fundamentals are there for me to strongly consider Mudrunner, especially on PS4. The game suffers from a stutter on my current laptop that didn't happen on my previous (weaker) laptop in spite of an improved framerate...PC gaming in a nutshell.
 
I wonder if it will be a proper dvd disc for consoles, because I bought the original spintires years ago off amazon, it came in a dvd case for pc, but was a download code, was rather disappointed to say the least..hope its a disc and not a download.

I assume it's digital only, for the time being anyway. Hopefully we'll eventually see a physical release after its 31st October release.
 
Interesting. I thought they were going digital only, at first anyway. Found a retailer that's selling the physical version here as well.

ZAZ 968M? That's something new.

Nifty trailer, not sure if the "story" has any bearing on the actual game itself, but it helps to flesh out the presentation of the title and give it the sort of identity/personality the original release sorely needed. I suppose it's finally blossoming into the game Pavel Zagrebelny had aspired to create before the setback of that awful deal with Oovee.

Not sure I'll have this day one because 2017 has unleashed a deluge of games, but it's definitely on my list.

Is Amazon going to be the only place to get this game, for ps4? I haven't seen anywhere else showing it.
 
...I don't see any major improvements since the first SpinTires. All I see on the gameplay trailer is different UI, a little better graphics, some cars visually modified (e.g. UAZ 469 with hard top and repainted to blue), one new car (ZAZ 968M) and interior view like on standard cars in GT5/6.

If you haven't played the first game and want to play on a console, you may have a reason to buy it. The game is great and very fun. But as an owner of the original SpinTires, I'm not planning to purchase Mudrunner.

The reason i shelved spin tires 1, was the constant crashing, and multiplayer bugs :\
