'Dangerous Driving' (ALL) Development Roadmap #1

by Rainier on May 4, 2019 @ 6:42 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.

Over the next 6 weeks we will publish 3 updates. Here are the details we have released so far:

Third Party, Fire and Theft (Update #2)

As we've released our first set of fixes we didn't want to delay online racing any longer. So Third Party, Fire and Theft will bring 6 player online racing and we estimate this will be live on May 24th.

Also includes:

  • Online Ranking system Version 1
  • Additional fixes:
    • Add the ability to raise the camera on the right stick
    • Save player's last paint choice per car
    • Increase the amount of Boost earnt from Air
    • Add HUD scaling on PC to fix issues reported with running the game at different resolutions.
    • Fix Xbox One Leaderboards 'Top' filter never loading on the Results screen unless the player is at the top already

Fully Comp (Update #3)

“Fully Comp” includes more Priority Fixes and we anticipate that it will be live on May 31st.

This update will reduce the likelihood of the player car experiencing bad collisions such as intersecting the road, being launched into the air, spawned facing the wrong way after a collision and being spun around by /getting stuck in barriers.

Also included:

  • Fix an issue at the U turn on the Hypercar Class Shakedown event where players can crash and respawn and immediately crash again (and again, and again) making the event unplayable without a restart
  • Add ability to go backwards though paint choices in car select
  • Save Sensitivity options - currently resets each time you relaunch the game
  • Fix for Pursuit vehicles taking each other down which appears to be causing a number of problems in the Pursuit events including causing the event to end early.
  • Other fixes TBC

Voluntary Excess (Update #4)

This update adds more online features and includes an engine upgrade to improve Performance.

  • Online Racing Version 2
  • Online Road Rage
  • Priority Fixes
    • Flip the real world road signs per track so they always point the right way for the player 
    • Upgrade to Unreal Engine 4.22 which we believe will load times, reduce stutter in the Point to Point tunnels and improve overall rendering performance. 
    • Other fixes TBC. See the Known Issues list for what we are currently investigating.
We will keep you updated over the coming months and as these go live we will provide more updates on what else we will be updating.

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.
