 Posted on May 30, 2023  |  6 minutes  |  1099 words  |  Fernande Dalal

The fact that Flatout 4 even exists after the tragic car crash that was Team6's Flatout 3 is an achievement in itself, so having a new developer, Kylotonn in the driver's seat and not BugBear (the original creators of Flatout) could be seen as a rather unnecessary risk. Nevertheless, Kylotonn has done a great job in redeeming the series, capturing the look and feel of fan favourite Flatout: Ultimate Carnage with none of the game-breaking bugs that made Flatout 3 such a nightmare to play.
