Open world = gimmick. And nothing worse then getting lost in a racing game. The way to make a truely epic racer that matters and can last, is to give it acsessable, scalable control via driving aids(ala F1 champ ED - (ps3)), ONLINE carrer mode with a way to buy upgrades and new classes and cars, ranks, and add to it over time (w/free or cheap tracks, cars, etc). Sorry but playing "quick race" online gets as stale a standard "deathmatch", games just need to do more, offer more online. Something, racing "teams" or leagues or something. I don't know, I used to love racers, now I don't play em much at all. This game is going no where at retail. Open world = gimmick. And nothing worse then getting lost in a racing game.

Codemasters is just the publisher on Fuel.

The idea you can drive anywhere or from one side of the map to the other - why is that by itself a good game feature or how does it make the game more impressive? Genuine question:-

There's one bottle of champagne, half a bottle of gin, one bitter tap etc. I suspect it's where they take journalists rather than where the coders spend their lunchtimes :) What weird about that pic is the lack of, well, booze.
