OVERPASS

[Paul Jeffrey]

A new off road driving game is set to appear later this year - introducing the rugged off-road challenge that is set to be OVERPASS.

Featuring licenced manufacturers, high end graphics and what developers Zordix Racing promises to be realistic physics and driving behaviour that requires the player to apply equal measures of patience, strategy and skill - this could well prove an interesting simulation of intense off road obstacle course driving... interesting.

Backed by Bigben Interactive as publisher, it certainly has solid credentials to deliver on the promise displayed by the admittedly impressive looking trailer featured at the head of this article. Although much in the way of detail remains to be filled about the title, I for one am certainly going to be keeping a close eye on this as it develops between now and release day in October 2019.

Let's pray for solid wheel support!

OVERPASS Key Features

• A completely new, extreme off-road experience
  
• Over 20 vehicles from top manufacturers, such as Yamaha, Arctic Cat and Suzuki
  
• Realistic physics gives each vehicle and terrain unique characteristics
  
• Over 40 technically demanding tracks across 6 environments with their own specific challenges
  
• A full Career Mode: attract sponsors, manage your vehicles and organize your calendar to dominate the season
  
• Local and online multiplayer modes, including a split screen mode, to share the experience and to challenge yourself against other players

Overpass is set to release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC October 2019.

Good promises. Let's pray for realistic physics and solid wheel support!

Hehe my guess is that iRacing is fuming and cursing they didnt get this idea first.
As a folower up on their dirt track series.
But maybe their "advanced" tire model cant handle this

If the Overpass devs are reading this; motion telemetry please There's a whole community of SFX-100 motion platform builders that would no doubt love this.

I found another youtube clip about a new off-road racing game. It is probably not Overpass?

If this is not Overpass (almost certain it is not), does anyone know which game this is?

Looks cool. One issue I see with this kind of game is that visibility probably will be an issue on cockpit view .
At least for the ones like me that aren't fortunate enough to have VR.

I am sure I saw that somewhere. Oh, yeah.

 

[RomFil]

remember game from 2010 on UE3 engine

promises to be realistic physics and driving behaviour

Sure sure any studio can make realistic physics, I mean look how many we have atm

As one of the posters says under the YouTube video, it seems to just be Just Cause 4 with most of the HUD switched off.

 

[FeltHat]

yup, speedometer is from just cause 4, but car itself seems different from vanilla game so its probably a mod or different game (some comments would suggest that) on avalanche engine

as for the topic, i need 1min per year dose of offroading so i guess mudrunner/spintires and beamng would do but ill keep an eye on it

 

[flykas]

I really wish for offroad exploaration game like oldschool 1nsane, but nowadays they just don't make fun physics. Well ofcourse there is beamng and Spintires.

 

[RomFil]

now, i hate spintires, previously I was on this game hoped

Good promises. Let's pray for realistic physics and solid wheel support!

From Bigben? Pfffffffffffffff
Actually there's Pure Rock Crawling, 4 veichles, 24 stages, and very challenging. And it's made by just one guy.

You are correct. It is Just Cause 4.

Overpass seems to be very promising. As is Pure Rock Crawling.

 

[CapitanulHaos]

Looks interesting, my only gripe is that it seems to pass over obstacles very quickly and not technical as it should. For now crawling in Mudrunner with 4x4 mods is my only go to offroad experience. And quite a good one I might say.

When I read about this game the first thing I thought was VR, followed closely by SFX100, even though I haven't even finished building mine yet.

 

[troch22]

Looks like rock crawling...

You cant make a rock crawling game with out a Jeep Wrangler in it, PERIOD!!!

 

[MirNet]

Looking good. Big fan of Screamer 4X4 from back in the day.

I spose VR is out of the question though
