I don’t think I’ve truly fallen for the whole Codemasters plot. Every time I do, they simply disappoint me repeatedly.
Yes, Rise of the Argonauts, I’m looking at you. And Fuel is another game that hasn’t truly roped me in yet and knocked my jaw out of proportion with sheer ridiculous awesomeness. It’s basically Motorstorm. With a twist, right?
 I bet you that’s how they pitched they idea when they first thought it up as well. We, um, take a game, um, like Motorstorm, and we, um, put, um…um…more cars in it? Yeah! That sounds genius! Let’s buy this immediately!
No! Bad! This is basically Flatout, just a little bit revised, in my opinion. Look, I might be totally wrong and this is the best game ever and it singes all the hair off my feet with it’s sheer awesomeness. Which would be really great, because my girlfriend is complaining, and the other guys at work keep calling me Frodo when we go to the beach, and…yeah…so…here is the FUEL Events trailer.

Comparing it to Motorstorm isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The new Pacific Rift is one of my favourite arcade racers. Open-world racing is appealing to me, and I’m glad to see there’s a small map at the bottom of the screen – this is sorely missing from Burnout Paradise
I may just pick FUEL up next month.

I agree with onelargeprawn, this game looks to be fun,I’ve always enjoyed the Codemaster racing Genre’s Dirt was awesome, and GRID is still my favorite racing game and IMO the closest to a true racing experience.
I have faith that codemasters will bring a top notch game to the market and give us a lot to look forward too. while this gameplay trailer doesn’t show too much since it really is a low-res-code(early beta)-racing game, I’m not sure what else you were looking for ?? fireworks?
