MICRO MACHINES WORLD SERIES PARA LINUX UPDATE

There is no way to continue your online session and do one race after the other ! This is just horrible, and I wonder if the devs have actually tested their games at all. Once the race is over, you have to quit back to the menu in order to get back into quick play again. You have to wait for one minute to get into a match, and then another 30 seconds to select your vehicle and wait for things to start… In the case of a race the game only last for 5 laps which is quite fast, probably only a few minutes worth of gameplay.

On top of that, it takes WAY too long to play. Maybe it’s a timezone problem in my case, but every single of my online matches ended up being against AI opponents.

Online? So you expect fierce multiplayer action right ? Well, I regret to say that there’s just nobody playing this game online apparently. Quick play is basically online, and is the only mode where you can gain experience and unlock bonuses and loot.

Yet, despite this positive first impression, there’s not much content out there.įirst, the quick play mode is the de facto default mode since the ranked matches are not available until you reach level 10 (note, this has changed following an update they released a week post-release, where they unlock ranked match by default now). Vehicles are also very well designed and rendered, with numerous effects to make them look like miniature models (camera depth of field really helps). It looks sticky, too, you can feel your vehicle slowing down in a kind of elastic manner – it’s a detail but they got this kind of things right. Especially well done are the parts with dripping liquids that slow you down and leave trails if you have to run on it. At first it looks like they got every detail right: the tracks are gorgeous, very detailed with numerous obstacles on the way. Unfortunately, this 2017 edition is quite disappointing. After all, there’s no so many of such titles these days, while 2D top down racing games were aplenty back in the 80s/90s. Apparently the previous game in the series was in 2006, so it’s been a long hiatus, and I was kind of looking forward to playing this kind of game again. Of course there were many episodes in between, such as the Playstation version (Micromachines V3) that was pretty good as well (the first one using proper 3D), while I did miss the later versions. We used to play at 3-4 on the same keyboard! Good times.īack in 2017. Things were not super smooth, but it was playable enough to entertain us for short breaks in between classes. I have fond memories of Micromachines 2 – Back in college we sneaked in the computer rooms to do multiplayer competition on Worms and Micromachines (the 2D version) on old PCs. This is not a port by Feral but by Virtual Programming (whose latest port was ARMA: Cold War Assault, if I am not mistaken). So Codemasters is showing further Linux support after Dirt Rally, with Micromachines World Series.
