'Dangerous Driving' (ALL) First Patch Coming Soon, Details

by Rainier on April 18, 2019 @ 2:59 p.m. PDT

Dangerous Driving is a closed track competitive racing game featuring boosts, takedowns, destruction and the biggest car crashes seen in a racing game to date.

Dangerous Driving puts aggression back into the racing genre, recapturing the spirit of the past and taking it to a new place. Dangerous Driving is a game about real driving. The sort of driving you want to do when no one else is looking. The sort of driving you’d love to do if only everyone else would get OUT OF THE DAMN WAY!

This game gives you the chance to live out that fantasy. To floor it in everyday cars, at high speeds, weaving in and out of traffic and slamming the other cars right off the road.

This is a game built in the spirit of the classic arcade racing games of the 80’s and 90’s. It’s about speed, driving skill and beautiful powerslides around epic corners.

It’s also about all out aggression, instant retaliation and sweet, sweet revenge.

The more dangerously you drive, the faster you can go.

We have found a whole bunch of bugs to do with AI, some of which were very obscure. We could not have done it without the help of all the reports and videos we received so thank you. Whilst these bugs are far from ideal they do not happen for everyone and that's why we needed the help of the wider community to track them down.

We have a fix for the supersonic AI, also them overtaking you during the takedown camera and also a really obscure exploit that someone sent to us also to do with Aftertouch Takedowns.

The full list of fixes that will be in the first Patch is here:

  • Prevent unfeasibly short leaderboard entries
  • Fix for 2 Crash bugs, 1 in the menus on Xbox and 1 in game on all platforms
  • Prevent AI shooting past the player at super sonic speed
  • Prevent AI speed not being capped when you’re in Takedown Camera (hence why they speed past you)
  • Ensure Aftertouch Takedowns give you the advantage they should (not reset at back)
  • Ensure laps always register on Hypercar Heatwave event on Desert Marathon
  • Stop AI always crashing at start of Island Lighthouse track
  • Minimise player getting reset being persistent wrecks after a Crash
  • Ensure it is possible to get Platinum medal on Formula DD Survival Event

Exact timing will depend on submission through Sony and Microsoft. We currently estimate the patch will be live during the week of April 29th but we will mail you after Easter with more exact dates.

After Easter we will also publish a roadmap of other updates and fixes, including fixes for bad collisions and the addition of 6 player online play.

Key Features

  • Bump, shunt, slam, scratch and powerslide your way around 30 dangerous courses set across seven different locations.
  • Takedown your opponent in the adrenaline fuelled Takedown Races, chain your way to perfection in the Boost Chain Races, or rule every road in Road Rage.
  • Switch on your Sirens and apprehend Wanted Suspects in Pursuit Mode, or be the last car standing in Eliminator.
  • Race offline against remorseless AI drivers in over 8 different event types
  • Take the action online against seven other aggressive players
  • Unlock new deadly cars and aggressive abilities as you progress.

There is only one way to drive – Dangerously. There is only one way to win – Takedown anything that tries to get between you and the finish line.

Dangerous Driving will be released for PS4, Xbox One and PC (Epic Games store) on April 9, 2019 for $29.99/£24.99 digitally. The physical version, published by Maximum Games, includes bonus game Danger Zone 2, and will be available for $39.99 US/$49.99 CAD/UK £29.99/Europe €39.99/Australia $69.95 AUD.
