The FlatOut series, known for its intense car combat and emphasis on collisions rather than guns, has recently received a major update on Steam. With Workshop support, Steam Deck verification, improved performance, and restored online multiplayer, the classic racing games have been revitalized for a new audience.
Among the three games in the series, FlatOut 2 stands out as the most beloved. The recent update for FlatOut 2 includes new translations, enhanced widescreen monitor support, and the reinstatement of online multiplayer through OpenSpy.net. The patch notes for FlatOut 2 are not only informative but also nostalgic, with references to restoring unused tracks like “Papa Roach – Blood Brothers”.
While FlatOut may not have the same level of updates as its sequel, the original game has still received significant improvements. These include graphical tweaks, performance enhancements, and various minor fixes and improvements. Despite lacking online multiplayer, FlatOut remains a classic choice for fans of intense racing action.
Although the patch notes for FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage may be short, the game is not to be underestimated. With Workshop support added in the latest update, Ultimate Carnage has already seen significant enhancements with the Collector’s Edition release earlier this year. Stripping out the Games For Windows Live DRM and achieving Steam Deck verification, FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage continues to deliver high-octane gameplay.
While newcomers to the FlatOut series may be tempted to jump straight into playing Wreckfest, the spiritual successor from the original FlatOut developer, there is still much to appreciate in the revamped versions of FlatOut on Steam. Whether you’re looking for classic car combat or a thrilling racing experience, the FlatOut series has something to offer. So, buckle up and get ready for adrenaline-pumping action on the virtual track.
