Flatout 1 Gameplay By First Werawat
0FlatOut[a] is a 2004 racing video game developed by Finnish developer Bugbear Entertainment and published by Empire Interactive for Windows, PlayStation 2 and Xbox. Gameplay in FlatOut places emphasis on demolition derby-style races and features a sophisticated physics engine. Sixteen different cars are included, each with five different skins. The game is mostly known for car drivers flying through the windshield. An update for the PC version was released in July 2024, that implemented Steam Workshop support, improved support for the Steam Deck and added various quality-of-life improvements.
Gameplay
Modes in FlatOut include standard races, in either open environments or race tracks, and demolition derby deathmatches, in which the last vehicle standing is declared the winner; both modes pit players against seven computer-controlled opponents. The game also includes special events which require the player to launch the driver out of his/her vehicle and meet certain requirements. In career mode, you can buy your future top racer from the junkyard. Wins are rewarded with a certain sum of cash, which allows the player to purchase vehicle upgrades and new vehicles.
FlatOut is noted for its extensive use of physics in vehicle damage and collisions; dents on vehicles may vary based on the type of accident, object and angle of impact (falling objects, for example, will damage mostly the upper areas of a car), while many roadside items react better to collisions from other vehicles.
Ragdoll physics is also present in the game, with drivers capable of being launched out of their car after high-impact crashes. This feature is extensively used in special events, when the player is required to launch a driver to a specific distance, height, or at a target.
The Xbox version of Flatout supports split screen for up to four players. The Playstation 2 supports up to two players split screen. The game supported online multiplayer with up to eight players online. The Xbox version supports System Link
The advantage of this game is that players can buy cars in the game and upgrade them. They can play across events to become the Cup Tree Event, unlocking each Cup stage. There are Bonus Events, both Stunt and Derby, for players to play. They can choose an Avatar driver and adjust the car's handling. However, the disadvantage of this game is that there are too few cars. You cannot customize the car, you can only change the color of the car. The driving physics are arcade style. If you don't drive well, the car will lose control. There are too few race tracks in the game, most of them are rural. There is no backfire nitrous, only the nitrous sound effect. If the collision is too hard, the Avatar driver character will be thrown out of the car.
As for the car I use, I use Machine because the Muscle Car Base comes from Chevrolet Camaro 2nd Generation. It's a beautiful and cool car. It's fast and powerful. And Machine is my favorite car in the game Flatout 1.
