BeamNG.drive

I will wait on early access games, I bought Next car game (Wreakfest) years ago and its still in early access.:nuts:
 
Bought this in 2015 summer sale, progress is as slow as wreckfest and star citizen :lol: but this sure better than something like the new car crashing game from supposedly ex burnout dev...

Too bad they refuse to use steam workshop to accommodate modding though :( they insist on their own launcher packaging.
 
Wow, so this will have realistic physics AND a fully open world full of various terrain to drive over?

AND Crysis type graphics (they're shown in the video)?

Definitely looks interesting.
 
Early access, I wish there was a time limit they put on these things so they don't DayZ your life away or Star citizen milk the money until they dissolve into nothing.
 
I wonder if you can mod the game to put Paul Walker and his buddy driving in there. :sherlock:
 
Is there any actual game here or is it just a physics simulator sandbox?

I'd love to see an off-road racing game using this engine.

Edit: I'll answer my own questions since I bought the game.

There is no career mode yet(its in the works) BUT there are lots of missions or tasks to do.

There is plenty of off road racing but its mainly against the clock or against the terrain.

There is a demo. Not sure how good it as since I bought into the early access a few days ago.
http://www.beamng.com/techdemo/

I gotta say, this is the most impressive driving sim I think I ever played, and I think I've tried them all.

Soft body physics are a token bonus to me, it's the handling and physics that really standout. They are the most real to date for on and off road.

If you are a sim driving person, you owe it to yourself to try this game.

The menus and alterations you can do to the vehicles are pretty smart and varied too.
 
Yeah I definitely found a ton of fun with this game a while back messing around with it, started to run like **** in the later iterations on my old system though.
 
Wow some of that stuff is REALLY starting to get impressive. The engine rocking in the last video translating to the exhaust is awesome. So many little real details. The solid axle torquing the truck was crazy too. Really need to pick this up.
 
Jeez, another MAJOR update.
This game is amazing!
20% off at Steam right now at $20.

Code: 
Alpha version 0.11 – The Coast is Clear

BeamNG.drive’s first major urban environment!
The time has come to release our most ambitious map so far, together with plenty of improvements such as clutch thermals, horn and siren sounds, afterfire effects, and much more.
Additionally, you will now be able to browse and download new mods from BeamNG.drive itself, and easily keep them all updated with one click.
