wreckfest is ostensibly a game about seeing cars get trashed, which is objectively awesome, but if your car gets wrecked that makes you lose the game. bad game design
it's also hard to watch the cars get wrecked while you are driving. this seems like a very fundamental game design contradiction that you should try to solve in some way
i'm always thinking about burnout 3, the best arcade racer ever made
when you slam into another racer they lose control of the car for a few seconds and if they hit something your camera cuts away so you can watch the spectacle of destruction in slo mo for a few seconds before it cuts back to your own car. literal genius
when your car gets wrecked you can spend your boost meter to influence the movement of your wrecked car to try to interfere with the racers behind you. also genius
@dankwraith tbh we should’ve stopped making new video games at that point
