Check Out The First Gameplay Footage For Wreckfest On Switch

This game strongly reminds me of Destruction Derby 64 on the N64. I played it a ton growing up, so I'm really interested in this. I hope you can turn off the "laps" mechanic and just play till last car standing.

Wow that looks really good

Wow! Very impressed! I just bought it on Steam to play on my Steam Deck and already owned it on PS4 but to anyone else who hasn’t played this yet I highly recommend it! It’s the most fun I’ve had in any racing game other than Mario Kart

@DarthXenos there are plenty of modes to choose from including last man standing basing myself of PC/PS4 versions. You can play the campaign or do custom events. I don’t remember if you can do last man standing in a circuit like the one in the trailer but then you can customize the number of laps to make it near endless… (by the way that’s an easy way to rake up loads of in game cash)

i was very sceptical when this was announced, but according to this footage they actually managed to make it playable on the switch.
people should wait for reviews though, but if the performance is good, then switch owners are in for quite a treat. my favourite racing game ever. pure fun.

Looks good in motion but I remember the Destruction Derby games on the original PlayStation were pretty shallow affairs.

@Orokosaki I membered the soundtrack too! Impressive!

@dil_power that's awesome news, thank you for the info!

Looks good enough. I've always wanted to try this game!

@Orokosaki I am not sure what you would consider shallow because I never played any destruction derby game on PSone but I do highly recommend this one. It may not be the most polished game out there but the driving and destruction make it loads of fun. There is decent customization and an interesting variety of vehicles (if you can call a toilet and a couch a vehicle) and events with crazy twists. I hope you give it a shot. I guarantee a smirk on your face for at least several hours worth of fun.

Looks really good I am impressed some company are very good at porting games on switch when they put time and efforts.

@Orokosaki You and I remember them quite differently then But each to their own. They were some of my favourites on the system. And now having this on the switch is a dream come true! Can't wait!

Long have I waited for another Destruction Derby. This seems like it will deliver so well!!!

Think I'll be picking this one up

Looks like fun, hope they had a mayhem mode somewhere in the game.

@DarthXenos

Yeah; I kept thinking Destruction Derby on PS1.

I've been interested in it for a while. If there's a PS5 native copy I might grab it cheap one day.

Looks fun, and a decent port, but THQ seems to handle porting well in general. I had my eye on this one. Some reviews, price cuts, and sales, and I may very well buy it. It may not be Cruis'n Blast, the next 1080, or Excite Trucks it does look like some intense chaotic fun in its own way with its own twist on racing.

I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THAT WRECKFEST WAS COMING ONTO SWITCH!!!!

Damn, footage looks fantastic! I wanted to get a racing game on the Switch, this one looks like it might just make the cut!

Yikes, looks like the visuals have taken quite a hit to get it to play nice with the humble Switch. Obviously that was going to happen, but it's jarring when you've played it on a high-end PC with all the bells and whistles previously.

Looks great, hopefully it performs well in portable mode while staying at 720p most of the time

@Ratchet916 Playing it on the go you probably would not had noticed anyways. The most important thing is that the game plays great.

@Orokosaki
I think games have improved in 30 yrs

@DarthXenos that is a fun game

Looks pretty good. I think I saw some minor framerate hiccups in there, but they only last a second or two.

Looking good. My kind of game to pass the time.

Footage looks way better than the first clips they showed. Bit of a shame with a late release they are charging extra for season pass should be included. Imho. Or at least combine the two.

I absolutely highly recommend this to anyone who loved Destruction Derby or the Burnout games.
This is a heap of fun, it has plenty of modes, it is the most fun you can have with your pants on.

really disappointed no local wireless multiplayer

One of my favourites on Xbox series S but does suffer from occasional frame drops... I'd be very sceptical about performance on switch version.

Looks good! It's a little dark imo, but I'm sure impressed by the witchcraft involved in making this game run and look so good on Switch. I'll have to buy a third copy I guess!

Destruction Derby 2 on original PlayStation was awesome, Wreckfest rules

looks kinda boring

What is this game like from a racing perspective?
I'm not a huge fan of destruction derby or arena events like the one in this trailer, but if you can hoon around more interesting tracks like in Burnout or Flatout, I'd be pretty interested.

Looks about how I expected it to, but it does seem to be running more smoothly than I imagined. If I didn't have a Steam Deck I would probably be considering this for playing the game on the go, but as I got a Deck I'll just stick to that with it's beautiful graphics and smooth 60fps performance.

Still, this is great for anyone who just has a Switch and wants to experience this game. It's highly recommended by me at least, I think the game is a blast.
