There’s not much to say here, play the older games instead to get the full FlatOutexperience as that runs pretty much on every PC and Laptop out there. Oh and instead of being totally shown in slow motion, and being wrecked, your vehicle just now explodes. The point of FlatOut was always the heavy destruction and slow motion ejection of a character in races (even this was cut down to a quick throwaway animation). It is disappointing that a 2017 game has less physics feature for a Ps4 game than a game on the old Xbox 360. There are instead states of a vehicle, green being good, yellow medium and red being bad, and all of these statuses have a static representation of the vehicle, so the hood does not fly off, nor the trunk and even the doors stay in place. The only damage we see is the windows being busted, but other than that there is nothing extra. The shading and lighting look horrible on the PS4 the graphics have been made worse on the vehicle’s as their texture just looks like one big mesh without any of the grand destruction which occurred in the previous games. So what happened in FlatOut 4? Absolute downgrade on all front. Also, the graphics were pretty for a 2004 game from a Finnish indie studio. In the original FlatOut, you had parts flying everywhere, windows smashing, driver’s flying around in slow mo, and best of all the damage to the vehicle was shown in a neat way. Hell while Ultimate Carnage had a Xbox 360 version it has more detailed physics and sound design than FlatOut 4. While the game modes are okay, the presentation, sound effects, and visuals are flabbergastingly the same, and even worse than the 2006 FlatOut game. There’s nothing spectacularly new here the developers did decide to add special items that can be picked up in Deathmatch that gives you instant repair, armor and other fun powerups. #FLATOUT 4 REVIEWS UPGRADE#Career mode is you the player character going on and competing in different events to finally upgrade and buy a proper vehicle to have a competitive edge. These were available in the previous games as well, and there is not much iteration on them. #FLATOUT 4 REVIEWS DRIVER#In Quick Play, we can play the unlocked modes for Arena or enjoy a quick race, and finally, a Stunt section which allows the player to enjoy some whacky hijinks such as Bowling, Stone Skipping, Shooting the driver through flaming hoops. #FLATOUT 4 REVIEWS DRIVERS#The vehicles are just generic, and the usual dumpster quality in the first set of unlockables, however now you can also unlock drivers as a bonus. The levels are pretty much okay, nothing insulting about it, but nothing new, as it has the usual diving sections, shortcuts, and fast parts. In order to get most out of the title, you’ll need to unlock vehicles, characters, and finally race tracks. There are three main game modes, Quick Play, Flatout Mode, and Career mode. This would not be a problem, but the presentation is heavily lacking. The gameplay and the game modes are nothing revolutionary, plus they have been part of the franchise for eternity. Sadly though the price for this game should have been 10 dollars, or even less? Total Insanity feels insane regarding it being existing at all in 2017. The price for FlatOut 4: Total Insanity is 50 USD as a new game, shown with an awesome cover on the websites. It is unfortunately with great disappointment that I had to review this game in any shape or form, as it is a significant step down even compared to the old Ultimate Carnage console version of the franchise. Meanwhile, Kylotonn (that sounds like a pharmaceutical drug), decided to create a new sequel for the FlatOut franchise for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
