It is infuriating how Sony abandoned the Destruction Derby franchise, absolutely loved the first three on PS1. Though I did go back to DD2 recently, the game is super fast and the cars have no weight to them. But Wreckfest is amazing! Is there much difference between the PS4 and PS5 versions?
There's not a massive amount of difference visually, it's more in how it "feels" playing at a solid 60 rather than the shaky 30. For a PS Plus freebie, can't complain! - Chris
If only wreckfest had tracks from the destruction Derby games chalk canyon was awesome with that downhill death jump bit, but this upgrade is fantastic
@@csairbrushartwork it did, made by fans I would race it all the time in earlier wreckfest versions for PC (back wen the game was better) with custom tracks like chalk Canyon - Both single and multiplayer. Iam glad i was around for that
@@Irochi Just remember watchig the intro movie of Destruction Derby and thinking if games would ever look this good. Saw it a while ago and it looks like hot garbage now :D
I think offline multiplayer and just a bit more DualSense support would have gotten it a bit more, but it's still amazing. I've been playing it all day - I had to be ordered off the TV to get this video done! - Chris
I've enjoyed online quite a bit, yes can take a bit of time to get into a game but man when you're first in a race and someone wipes you out and instead of rage quitting you spent the remaining 5 laps trying to wreck the bastard that wiped you out it's ace. And then next race be sees you and it's a war. Loved those moments
I generally load up Spotify in the background for my games so I haven't listened to the soundtrack yet, but this is a fun game. This is one you can play for a couple hours or more and not be bored.
Getting ready to try this free as a ps plus PS5 game finally. Decided to check a review right quick....and all I needed to hear was that it’s like Destruction Derby. Damn that game was fun as all hell for me and my friends back in the day. I never found another game like it that I liked as much. Now I’m hyped and turning on now!
I have never been able to wrap my head around the reasons these cars refuse to allow games to have destruction when licensing for the games. What the hell is that? I truly can't fathom.
Got the PS5 super early and somehow missed this game. Picked it up last week and haven’t stopped playing. As a fan of car games this might be at the top all time for me
You may want to adjust the differential and front/rear brake setting. Setting your brakes to the front should help understeer. And power slide with the circle ⭕️ button.
I want a sequel to take this EXACT formula. And add in the customization of car mechanic simulator. Where you take your heap back to the shop and take off all the damaged shit and rebuild it for the next race. Id never play anything else lol

The first Destruction Derby was my first PS1 game, in fact. Such great memories.

As a kid from the 90s this reminds me of Destruction Derby and that game was awesome. Im going to buy this.
Holy shit! Why don't you have more subscribers? This video is really professional. Good job to the team.
Thanks for watching, and thank you for your kind words! :) - Chris
I just wish this game had a split screen but other than that its pretty fun
Thank you for the review. Downloading it now!
I think this is an amazing remaster, would give it a 9+ as it's so much fun, yeah online not so much but the offline is brilliant.

Online is great if you play with mates.

Me too mate! makes me drive better somehow lol!
So much better with the update ! Brilliant fun and incredible destruction !
I got it on my ps5 and its insane and i love it!
Great review, thanks. Answered all my questions.
Fantastic comment, exceeded expectations with proper grammatical accuracy and the candor of a gent. Would read and reply again. 10/10 - Chris
@@PurePlayTV lol. Just an old dad trying to make his teenage son happy! 😁 Thanks again
Solid review! Nice work mate!
This game is underrated.
Destruction derby 1 and 2 were very good games back on the ps1 i still remember the passion wagon car lol that car always got it first.

LOVED this review! Thank you!
I havent had this much fun playing a game since GTA5 came out 32 years ago
But wait. If you are alive in another thirty years gta vi might come out
Ahh destruction derby, takes me back!
Just seen the game in the January sales on Playstation store. Based on this video it's a bargain.
Downloading now. Thanks.
This is the only Xbox Game Pass game I’ve bought so far, even though it’s still available on the service for now. Worth every penny.
Thanks so much, I love wreckfest more than destruction Derby
So is this the spiritual successor to destruction derby?
I've never heard of Destruction Darby.
Thanks it helped me find a game for me
Masterpiece. Not without a few flaws, but my god this game is fun. In fact, it's knocked Burnout 3 off the podium for me...
What was ps1 version to this game
For me the best part is the music!
I have never been able to wrap my head around the reasons these cars refuse to allow games to have destruction when licensing for the games.
What the hell is that? I truly can't fathom.
Needs slow motion crashes a la Burnout!
Nice review
Bought this today for £15 on the store. I reckon I’ve got an absolute bargain lad 👍

Does anyone else struggle with understeer / oversteer with all assists off on A rated cars? Or is it just my lack of talent??
It's OUR lack of talent 🤣 - Chris

Can u play it offline on single like ps4 ?
Yup - Chris
I would love to see a remake of Twisted Metal, or improving on Wrekfest with weapon and armour upgrades !! \\m//
In development.
I want a sequel to take this EXACT formula. And add in the customization of car mechanic simulator. Where you take your heap back to the shop and take off all the damaged shit and rebuild it for the next race.
Id never play anything else lol
These game companies don’t want us to have friends irl anymore
Thanks
You're welcome, fella - Chris
Online shines on PC with this game
The good old destruction derby2 ps1
The AI is the highlight for me
Subbed👍
Destruction dArBy
That’s how it’s said
@@haydenkarim5459 no, I don't think so
Wreckfest 💪
"Destruction darby"
I love this count me as a +1
😂😂 James Blunt
Wow my eardrums are fucking bleeding after that absolutely ridiculous sound at the start…
No split screen. Boo
OMG a whole 5 mintues to get into a online race, say it ant so
Depends on time of day and region - Chris
So you have sleepovers when you're 20 you don't like heavy metal and you think being 30 makes you "old "😂😂 you got problems son
99, but a bitch ain't one. - Chris
Annoying
