    I just got special invite directly into the Beta. I don't have to sign up or anything with me being a tester before.

    Anyone else get in ?

    Trying to revive a dead/bad game is a waste of time IMO. Let the dead rest already... le sigh

    I got it too. I think it still had the potential to be a good game when it died. If its f2p Ill play.

    From what I heard, the rights were purchased for ownership of the modeling software they developed for the game. I didn't play it but I heard there was some extreme vehicle modding going on in it. The thought behind relaunching the IP as a F2P was simply to make whatever they could to recoup their expenses in the acquisition of the rights.

    The game only failed because they launched it early, with no anticheat and ran out of cash before they had the time to fix and tweak. In short, it wasnt the devs and concept designers that failed us, but their bosses and I'm happy to see it in new hands.
    All the content they wanted to launch with they didn't get to, this time around they will have it and then some. it isn't a mystery why it didn't work so fixing those problems isn't a bad thing.

    Games in general are a waste of time so trying to tell others their waste of time is a waste of time over your waste of time is... a waste of time.

    i played it both in beta and after release, and i loved it. its not addictive, but its a great game for blowing off steam, and it has the best customisation tool i have ever seen in any game. i especially love that you can make your own tags/tattoo and place them anywhere on your body/cloths and cars. i will be playing this again for sure
