Those crash physics look amazing!

…it could get annoying though, if your drive gets wrecked real easy.

Finally! :msuh3: I thought it was vaporware by now.

BeamNG: Drive

Some of you may already know about BeamNG's project that they've been working on. It's now been titled "Drive" and there a free public test version you can download. So far I've played it for about an hour and I am really impressed!

You can download the free test here: http://beamng.com/techdemo

Also, if you want to spend $15.00, you can get access to the vehicles and maps shown in the video above.

I think it's too soon to say that this is the TDU replacement we've been looking for but give it some time.. It just might be!

:duck:

EDIT: Bollocks, just say Ryzza's front page post on the game. I'm late as usual. :'(

Discussion perhaps..

Been waiting for this. Loved Rigs of Rods.

Something I should point out with this. Don't think of it much as a game, but a physics engine. I belive the team behind it are looking to market it to other devs for other games.

It sucks ass, my car kept getting stuck on nothing which would mean I have to reset to the other side of the island, you can't go over bumps and if you happened to put a wheel onto the grass or up over the gutter your car just gets stuck and stalls so you can't reverse out or anything. Idgas if it's in alpha still, the way it is at the moment it's not worth it.

Wow this looks really promising something like a better (a lot!) SLRR to me. Physics are good nice grpahics gotta give it a try :)

I do like the damage model. I scraped the side of my truck against a wall at speed, and instead of just smashing the whole car up and going over the top like usual, it just proceeded to pull back most of my front quarter panel so it was bent in the wrong direction and stopping my door from opening :p

Anyone paid for the Alpha access yet?

Ryzza5 · August 4, 2013

I have

Haven't installed it yet though

The Compensator · August 4, 2013

I'm downloading it right now.

Rassva · August 4, 2013

Downloading now......imagine Veyron rammers.

Loz · August 4, 2013

I paid for the Alpha.

Something I find fun to do is to take the box van and ramp it off things in the test map with all the ramps, should see the frame after that :p.

Sponge · August 4, 2013

After sampling the demo, I'm pleased to say I've purchased the alpha and will be religiously testing it!

There's another game called SpinTyres that's currently in development, but it's taking SOOO long to give any updates.

Ryzza5 · August 4, 2013

I'm all over the pre-beta simulation games Spongie! :)

The Compensator · August 4, 2013

Installed it and I can't drive the pick up. It doesn't want to steer. :confused:

August 4, 2013

I skipped the demo and went straight to the alpha, donated some extra too

Fear Deer · August 4, 2013

I'll be getting alpha once we can map our custom controls. Want to drive this with my steering wheel

:lol:

Or to hell with it, might alpha sometime soon!

GTAMADDOG · August 4, 2013

I bought and donated some. Reminds me of SpinTires which I also like, hoping SpinTires comes to something as well.

I'm posting here on my iPhone so when the next reply comes it'll remind me to download this :D some of those roads and that diner or whatever it was looks very similar to stuff on Honolulu!
