New Screens Released for FlatOut Ultimate Carnage

Brand new screenshots illustrate the breathtaking graphical & technical leap for the FlatOut series on Xbox 360

Empire Interactive have released today some brand new in-game screenshots from their eagerly anticipated Arcade Destruction Racer FlatOut Ultimate Carnage, releasing exclusively on the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, which highlight in stunning detail the level of technical and graphical expertise the developers, Bugbear Entertainment, are displaying in the next-generation debut of the FlatOut series. The sequel to the multi-award winning FlatOut 2 which saw off a number of its higher profile rivals in various awards in 2005, FlatOut Ultimate Carnage now features 12 cars on track in each race up from the 8 vehicles in FlatOut 2, making proceedings much more competitive and far more destructive. In addition there are also five new single player game modes and two new online modes.

Upon initial viewing, the most noticeable aspect of the screenshots is the massive increase in texture resolution in every aspect of the game in comparison to the previous iterations of the series on Xbox. FlatOut Ultimate Carnage uses normal mapping on all surfaces seen in-game as evidenced by the cracks in the dirt tracks, by the pock marks and texture in the tarmac streets, and the overall 3D appearance across all the circuits. This aspect of FlatOut Ultimate Carnage stands out next to other driving games in which the surfaces the cars are driving on appear much flatter with little or no textures.

FlatOut Ultimate Carnage is released exclusively on Xbox 360 at the end of June 2007.
