Get revved up and ready for crazy stunts, heists, big explosions and family!
No, that was not a catchphrase for the next film in the already stretched out, but massively successful, Fast & Furious franchise. Dominic, Letty and Roman will be burning rubber for PS4 in the latest high-octane, screen-blasting Fast & Furious Crossroads.
Judging from the recent teaser trailer, this game promises to put you in the middle of the action with insane boss fights (really fast cars? No; try hovercrafts and jet-fuelled planes!) and fast-paced navigating as you shoot, blast and ramp your way through each scenario.
Strangely enough, with the franchise inspiring the whole “car culture” in the mainstream scene, the franchise has been rather slow to coin it in the gaming world leaving EA’s Need4Speed: Underground and Need4Speed: Most Wanted (remember those?) to set the bar. Not surprising, seeing that these games had been influenced by the franchise’s first instalment blockbuster hit. In 2006, 2 Fast 2 Furious did have a release on PS2, but sadly that one was a miss and Fast and Furious have yet to have a hit.
Whereas, to some, the trailer might leave you with a feeling that the game might be a little lack lustre, it will be interesting to see how well the proposed “unprecedented three- way multiplayer mode” will work.
Let’s hope this one will be the pink slip they will win.
