'ScreamRide' (ALL) Demo Coming Tonight - Trailer

by Rainier on Feb. 16, 2015 @ 10:27 a.m. PST

ScreamRide is a roller-coaster sim that fuses creation, destruction and addictive action into an exhilarating reinvention of the sandbox-creation genre.

To escape you'll have to work around the strict prison schedule as best you can to avoid any unwanted attention from the guards. Craft weapons and tools from everyday objects you will find, or steal, around the prison but beware of cell shakedowns! All that stands between you and your freedom is a perfectly executed escape plan.

Use your imagination to build extreme roller coaster rides and environments from the ground-up, pilot your riders through the tracks with skill, share your dream creations with friends, or destroy anything and everything with phenomenal physics and deafening destruction.

You can start creating and destroying in the ScreamRide demo, which launches on Xbox Live starting at midnight tonight. 

Available on both Xbox One and Xbox 360, you can try out each of the three career modes in the free demo (the full game features over 50 levels in the campaign plus a robust level creation editor). Want to test your awesome twitch action gameplay skills by steering a coaster car directly through crazy mazes? Then strap yourself in the cockpit as a ScreamRider and ride a coaster through the labyrinth of twists and turns. For a change of pace, you can play as the Engineer and strategically plan how to build the best coasters with the provided tools. Finally, once you’ve mastered riding and creating, tear it all down by playing as the Demolition Expert, where you skillfully fling pods for maximum screams and destruction.

Build and share adrenaline pumping thrill-rides with friends and the community over Xbox Live on Xbox One. Send and receive challenges to discover the best among your friends. Challenge yourself across a variety of exhilarating levels or compete with friends to set records on global leaderboards. In addition to the Level Maker editing tool, players can specialize in a single role—Engineer, Scream Rider or Demolition Expert—or gain mastery over all three as they climb the career ladder. With more than 50 events, three unique game modes, and hundreds of props, ride pieces and modular scenery, “ScreamRide” unleashes the power of unbound creation, extreme destruction, and addictive gameplay.

Key Features:

  • Create as the Engineer: With hundreds of props, ride pieces and modular scenery available at your fingertips, create awesome coasters, amusements and environments from the ground-up. As the Engineer, you will be able to solve construction puzzles as you build creations of limitless imagination.
  • Ride as the Scream Rider: Prove your precise piloting skills as you control the coaster on a ride of your own creation; Xbox One players can also pilot a ride shared by friends over Xbox Live. Challenge your friends to race your coasters around the track as fast as possible and achieve the highest scream rating for your riders. Xbox One users will be able to show off their skills on Twitch on Xbox Live.
  • Destroy as the Demolition Expert: Rack up points as you destroy everything and anything to ignite the most explosive carnage possible. As a demolition expert, you will have control over the physics-based destruction you are causing by knocking down and destroying the ride creations in interesting ways.
  • Sharing with friends: Xbox One gamers on Xbox Live can build and share the most extreme rides and missions with friends, discover unlimited new gameplay by accessing their wild creations and challenge friends to set scream rating and destruction records on global leaderboards.

ScreamRide will be available for Xbox One ($39.99) and Xbox 360 ($29.99).
