Former 'WipeOut' Developers Working On 'Formula Fusion' - Screens

by Rainier on Oct. 6, 2014 @ 2:18 a.m. PDT

Pacer is a pulse-raising future generation anti-gravity racer that mixes high octane speed with fully-customizable craft, allowing players to tweak until they’ve outfitted the perfect winning killing machine to complement their skills.

Previously known for Wipeout’s graphic design direction and a wide range of iconic brands; The Designers Republic will work side by side with the developers to promote and establish the visual style design aspects for the game. Combining decades of development and design expertise, Formula Fusion will represent the next big leap forward for the genre.

Formula Fusion is currently in pre-production and promises many enhancements over the original version of Wipeout, including; craft and technology customization, track editing tools, synchronous multiplayer with online leagues and a new hyper-speed mode.

"We are bowled over by the amount of interest we have had so far! Adding TDR™ to the mix marks our intention to give fans what they want," said a spokesperson for R8 Games. "We are attempting to break new ground and reinvigorate the AG Racing Genre with a cutting edge Adrenaline fuelled Racing Experience!”

"I always said we'd never do another Wipeout. After Wip3out, the third installment, with the original team dispersing if not already long gone, The Idea was degenerating into a marketing led franchise — from our perspective — an ever decreasing circle of senseless reiteration cranked out for cash. The difference for us with Formula Fusion is the return to values behind the game — the desire to make it, and the community aspect — the desire to not only play it, but to contribute to creating it. The community, and the opportunity to engage with it, are the drivers behind TDR™’s re-engagement with The Idea. 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 –
1 – GO!" said Ian Anderson, Founder TDR.

Currently being developed for PC, with console versions to follow soon afterwards, an early access version of Formula Fusion will be made available through the Steam Store in June 2015.
