Things on Wheels Multiplayer Complete

By | June 4, 2008 | Xbox 360 |

We got word from Load Inc. that the multiplayer aspect of the upcoming Things on Wheels XBLA game is complete. Ironically, this week is also the 1 year anniversary of the previous game they released – Mad Tracks (which sold over 100,000 copies!). Yet we haven’t really covered Things on Wheels lately, and one of the first things we were told is that they are 2 completely separate games (in case people thought that ToW and Mad Tracks would be the same type of game.)

ToW is a strictly racing game, which is a tribute to ReVolt (RC Cars). When speaking to Denis from Load Inc (the developers behind the title), he stressed how the game was much more mature then Mad Tracks, and fast… very fast, which isn’t easily evident in the trailers going around. So when the game comes out, that will be one of the things we are going to test… the speed of the game.

We had some questions for the multiplayer aspects though, like time involved and what needed to be improved from Mad Tracks. Load Inc spent about 5 months working on the multiplayer for Mad Tracks, but cut down the time spent on ToW to 3 months! Looking back, they mentioned that they forgot to do lobby management… but we don’t think it will be a problem this time around. We can also see from the trailer that was released in April that it will take place in an upscale house.

Still no word on the set of achievements and a release date, but when we get a heads up, we’ll be sure to let you all know. As usual, if you have any questions for the game, feel free to comment… cause you never know who may show up to answer some of your questions ;)

    Hello, I'm Guillaume, a dev from Load Inc.
    First of all, thanks for the news.

    Regarding the lobby system on Mad Tracks, it's not that we forgot it, but it wasn't implemented as the players expected. And be sure it's rectified with ToW.

    If you want to be a part of the game, you can enter the contest which will let the best achievements be in it, and of course the ones who proposed them be in the credits.

    The model is beautifully rendered, I just hope the gameplay matches, but I guess we'll find out soon enough! Will be interesting to see if they do additional cars as DLC

    Hehe, we just might add cars… :-)
    Touitoui, thanks for the heads up!! ToW has a state of the art lobby management indeed!

    Have a great day!
    Denis.

    Wow…that is a GORGEOUS picture! Maybe I'll use that on my laptop as I need a high-rez widescreen picture for the background…

    Personally, I can't say I was very impressed with Mad Tracks, I was hoping for much more. However, TOW is really piquing my interest. I can't wait to see it released!

    To DenisDenis and TouiToui: Would it be possible to get a similar image like the one above except for with the yellow car from the trailer? :D

    I have Mad Tracks and quite like it. It's not as good as I first expected but TOW takes my fancy. :)

  • Touitoui

    You may find new images like this one.
    As we sure will present all cars one day… or may be there'll only be one car in ToW (just kidding).

    I'm sure you'll find one you like.
