A first look at Warhammer 40,000: SPEED FREEKS. A 16 player, Free-To-Play, multiplayer racing-shooter mayhem with Orks set in the badass Warhammer 40,000 universe – now available in Open Alpha!

Looks a bit cheap but still kinda fun haha i liked the part where the orc got shot out and rode the missile to the enemy... could be good times?

I called it. I remember about a year ago so I mentioned they should make a Speed Freeks game and here we are.

Looks like it's a good time to be a Warhammer 40,000 fan.

Three interesting 40K games in a year?

I can smell the heresy from here.

If you head over to the steam page you can join in an alpha playtest of the game before it launches

Indeed, everyone and their dog gets a license and it's an actual strategy that works.
Extra Credits made a good video on the topic before they went completely nanners.

Looks cool! I'm definitely on board.

Got right into the steam alpha test. Gonna boot it up in a bit.

This looks fun, Mork vs Gork time

I CBA to check right now but as late as 2019 Games Workshop Annual Report was 300 hundreds pages of text on white paper.
No mention of great worlds they create, new releases, etc. It was incredible how a company with such a legendary IP doesn’t seem to care much about it.

Reminds me of that Jak and Daxter Racing game.

 

[badblue]

I can't help being reminded of Twisted Metal while watching that.

Signed up for the play test.

So played around for a match just to see how it was.

Controller sucks imo, kb/m is basically necessary atm.

Can't rebind keys but the base keybinds are fine.

M1 definitely lacks impact as done M2 on most vehicles I tried. Everyone is pretty tanky.

The lightening weapons feel like they weren't really doing anything.

It's alpha and needs a shit ton of work that's for sure.

I do like the disclaimer saying they very much will respond to fan feedback and encourage you to join their discord.

It looks nice and runs alright minus some hitches here and there.

It could honestly turn out great and I hope it does. Car combat has been missing for a decade and it's time to fill that void. Warhammer is actually a great IP to do it with.
