The ultimate racing game is back—and more charged up than ever. Don't miss Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged debuting October 19th. More vehicles, more skills, and more fun!

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Hell yeah. Another great arcade racer.

Still need to finish the first one.

 

[bitbydeath]

Hopefully it looks that good in-game.

CG trailer for an indie arcade game lawd have mercy

 

[Agent X]

The original Hot Wheels Unleashed was a surprisingly great game. I'm sure the follow-up will be worthy as well.

The first one was fun in quick bursts. This is the studio I wanted to see given a big budget and have a crack at an SSX reboot

 

[Spukc]

Didnt this game came out 1 year ago?
With a metric fuck ton of dlc sheit?

It had a lot of DLC but it had way, way more in-game unlockable vehicles.

 

[Fbh]

The first one was surprisingly fun, hopefully this one is even better

It came out in September of 2021. And yeah it has a ton of DLC.
I played it through Ps+, the gameplay and visuals are pretty nice and there's a lot of content in the base game already. But it did kinda feel like a F2P mobile game at times, like you'd start the single player mode and it would instantly bombard you with loot boxes and all the DLC they have available to buy

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Put the pedal to the metal and I'm off! And never getting lost!
Which way will I turn when roads cross!?

 

[SF Kosmo]

First game was surprisingly pretty good, I wouldn't mind another.

Hope they go a little easier on the gacha elements though.

 

[drotahorror]

Good fun, some of the DLC in part 1 felt really...confusing I guess? I should go back to it.

Hot Wheels is Milestone's biggest game, hope they don't try to milk it too much.

 

[dreamstation]

Wonder why they couldn't just keep adding stuff to the first game?

 

[Esca]

Hell yeah. I loved the first, great arcade racer. Sigh me up

 

[AJUMP23]

First one was great.

 

[Buki1]

Great that they include outdoors this time, the first one got boring fast with only 4 bioms (or was it 5?) with every one of them was indoors. Also more races should be placed outside the orange track, because it made all tracks look the same.

If they do it, we will finally get Micro Machines game that we all deserve.

 

[angrod14]

I thought the first game was a commercial failure.

 

[Raonak]

First game was good, liking the new vehicle types.

 

[Knightime_X]

Hopefully it looks that good in-game.

0% chance. That CGI trailer SCREAMS path tracing.

 

[Edder1]

Hopefully it looks that good in-game.

It's cross gen, get real and don't be trolled by CGI.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Meanwhile, in real time on Nvidia RTX 40 series:



This was actually supposed to be released as a playable tech demo last year but has been delayed. Looks as good as that CG trailer except rendered in real time.

 

[bitbydeath]

It's cross gen, get real and don't be trolled by CGI.

I’m an optimist, the first one looked pretty good.

 

[ahtlas7]

First one is great on the Steam Deck. Curious whats new in 2.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Would have been nice if they just told the Forza guys to make more Hot wheels content.

 

[chilichote]

The first one was a ton of fun!

 

[SALMORE]

i didn't like how the drift worked in the original ! it ruins the game for me i was hoping for something similar to sumo's digital racing games

 

[Mr Branding]

First was ok if a bit grindy. I hate the mtx culture.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

 

[ReBurn]

Will buy the game of the year edition.
