  • Wreckfest delivers a fantastically fun experience on PS5, even if the upgrade doesn't go as far as we'd have liked it to.

    It is infuriating how Sony abandoned the Destruction Derby franchise, absolutely loved the first three on PS1. Though I did go back to DD2 recently, the game is super fast and the cars have no weight to them.
    But Wreckfest is amazing! Is there much difference between the PS4 and PS5 versions?

    • @PurePlayTV
      @PurePlayTV  3 роки тому +4

      There's not a massive amount of difference visually, it's more in how it "feels" playing at a solid 60 rather than the shaky 30. For a PS Plus freebie, can't complain! - Chris

      I think offline multiplayer and just a bit more DualSense support would have gotten it a bit more, but it's still amazing. I've been playing it all day - I had to be ordered off the TV to get this video done! - Chris

      I've enjoyed online quite a bit, yes can take a bit of time to get into a game but man when you're first in a race and someone wipes you out and instead of rage quitting you spent the remaining 5 laps trying to wreck the bastard that wiped you out it's ace. And then next race be sees you and it's a war. Loved those moments

Damn that game was fun as all hell for me and my friends back in the day. I never found another game like it that I liked as much. Now I’m hyped and turning on now!

      You may want to adjust the differential and front/rear brake setting. Setting your brakes to the front should help understeer. And power slide with the circle ⭕️ button.
