New Spintires (!) game is comming: Mud Runner (PC/PS4/Xbox)
- Thread starter The_Super_Inframan
- Start date
Just installed the Xbox One version and it's 1.13 GB in size. Literally went from clicking download to playing in 45 seconds or so. No embargo on streaming so I might stream some of it tonight.
Did the tutorial and the first challenge and it's about what I expected, really challenging mud/water driving with low-end graphics. Backing the trailer in was incredibly difficult in cab view, given the low visibility in mirrors. Finally cheated and switched out to external view to get it done.

How's the framerate?
I didn't play very much but it seemed fine. I think adapting to the camera is going to be the biggest thing for console players, especially those who have just jumped off something like Forza 7 or GT Sport to this haha
It makes sense, given the style of game, but it's a departure for sure.

I didn't even know this was coming out... and I really wanted Spintires on PC. Will get when it goes on sale, way too broke right now.

Is the camera as wonky as in the original game? At least in early builds it was a disaster.
It works great, but it's such a departure from 'normal' cameras that it takes some time to get used to. For drives on the roads, I put it over the cab and leave it there. When I get to the offroad sections, I tend to swing it out on the driver's side and drive like it's a 3/4 isometric game, so I can see what the wheels are doing.

Devs have said there are no plans for Pro or X enhancements sadly.
Yeah, with the "PlayStation" trailer displaying great graphics at 60fps, I expected Pro enhancements... But I guess it will be another case of "bs" trailers.

Got this on PS4, its great. Looks fantastic and the physics stuff is wonderful. Looks really nice, and its wonderfully relaxing.
Performance on the Pro seems ok - I thought I detected the odd stutter during the initial tutorial, but I've been playing for a couple of hours now and it seems to be very smooth.
The camera is the work of a masochist though, its needlessly odd, incredibly hard to predict how its going to swing and where you'll end up looking.

Its exact same game...

When I first saw this,I thought it would be of similar quality to those crappy hunting simulators but after watching some gameplay this game has a lot of depth and looks very fun.

Does it run in 60fps on ps4?
My Missouri mud truck driving friend begged me to get this dumb looking game to co-op and I am so glad I gave in. Such an incredible physics heavy technical driving sim. It deserves more content and challenges.
Playing it feels like

Yeah I can't help but voice disappointment. I would be less irritated by this if they had added saving to the original game. This is bit of an ugly regurgitated release.

Finally i finished the game with 1000gs. I love the game, i wish they make more dlc for more challenge missions or story missions i don't care but i want more content. I beat the levels in the realism difficulty in coop and it was an excellent experience. The game in coop is more fun rather than playing alone.
I want more content!

Hello all!
As was stated in the last update post where we announced The Valley, we're going to be doing a monthly community update for Spintires: MudRunner, to let you know what we're working on, what to expect soon, and some other cool things!
To start, it's not been that long since The Valley released on February 13th, but we're very happy to see so many players enjoying the map and the three new vehicles that we added to the game at this time. What has been your favourite part of The Valley so far?
We have a little treat for you all today, in addition to all the news below. We've noticed that some players have been making their own navigation maps and that these have been made using screenshots of the fully explored map screen, or in some cases hand drawn. We understand that this is something that many of you would like to do, and so we've packaged all the map images, in high resolution, for you to print off and make navigation maps with. Please enjoy!
The maps can be found here: https://we.tl/IYVl6j93B6
Now, the bit that you've all been waiting for, what we're working on! There's actually a lot going on with Spintires: MudRunner right now, all of it in various stages of development, and not much of it that we can actively talk about at the moment. With that said, we can specifically say some things that we're working on and aim to have out this year.
We're currently working on an additional update coming out early this year that we currently expect to include workshop map support, as well as some other cool new features!
As well as this, yes, MudRunner USA (work-in-progress title) is currently in development, and we aim to have this out this year. It will, of course, be set in the United States. We understand that a large part of the Spintires: MudRunner community are based in the United States, and would like to support them with content that is a little bit more familiar. We're also looking into licensing official vehicles for this.
In addition to MudRunner USA, we're continuing to explore the options of adding mods to the console versions of the game. We love the modding communities for Spintires: MudRunner, and thank them for their enthusiasm in continuing to help us make Spintires: MudRunner the best game it can be. We continue to currently look into the possibility to add some of our favourite mods into the console versions of Spintires: MudRunner as DLC.
Finally, a Nintendo Switch version of Spintires: MudRunner is currently being worked on. We don't have much more to say about this right now, but it is coming, and we'll have more news about it in the future!
In conclusion, we're working on a lot of different things currently, all of which will come later in the year! We'll have more news on these individually as the year progresses.
Thanks, and talk to you soon!

I REALLY want to love this game, and thoroughly enjoyed the challenges at the start. But doing the first proper area and delivering the logs 
I keep getting near to the destination and rolling my vehicle and having to start over and it is getting very frustrating.
On a separate note, the vehicles sound awesome through a surround setup with a sub

Hello all!
It's time for another one of those regular Community Updates!
This time around, we're actually going to start off talking about something a little more immediate, and making an announcement!
We're happy to announce The Ridge, the second free DLC for Spintires: MudRunner, coming soon to PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
In The Ridge DLC, we'll be introducing a brand new map, two new vehicles, and, for the first time, a brand-new gameplay mode.
On The Ridge, you will find a towering mountain ridge that divides the map into two areas, and that is incredibly difficult to cross. This will be made trickier with the introduction of the two new vehicles, the D-538 and the B-6A. We will have more details on these vehicles in the future in individual vehicle profiles, but both vehicles will also introduce new add-ons to the game as well!
These new add-ons will help players tackle the difficult new game mode being introduced to The Ridge, Scavenge.
Scavenge mode, unique to The Ridge, is a mode where there are no log stations. This means that you won't be able to just collect logs and transport them. Instead, there are now random "scavenge locations". These locations are two or three locations that are randomly selected each time you start the map, and spawn static logs which must be collected with a crane!
We don't currently have a specific planned release date for The Ridge, but it should arrive around the end of May. We will continue to add screenshots to this post as we have them to share with you. As stated above, this will be for PC, PS4 and Xbox One!
As has become the norm for these community updates, I'll also let you know what the team are currently working on, and what to expect in the future.
We continue to work on MudRunner USA, and will have more information on this in the future, but we are currently looking into our options towards licensed vehicles for this.
We are hugely grateful to the dedicated and passionate modding community for helping us make Spintires: MudRunner the best game it can be, but, for now, we're only exploring what options we have, no concrete plans to implement mods on consoles in the short run.
Lastly, the Nintendo Switch version of Spintires: MudRunner is still in development, but we don't have much more to say about this currently.
Thank you, all, and we'll talk to you soon!

Hello, and welcome once again to the Spintires: MudRunner Community Update!
First things first, let's talk about The Ridge!
The Ridge is the latest DLC coming to Spintires: MudRunner, and is totally free and out now on PC, PS4 and Xbox One!
In The Ridge, you will discover a brand new map, two new vehicles, and Scavenge game mode. This new game mode, unique to The Ridge (but able to be implemented by modders in their own maps) tasks players with needing to track down and recover logs from random "scavenge locations" around the map. These locations are randomly selected each time you start the map, and are spawns of single logs that must be recovered using a crane attachment!
The Ridge also introduces two new vehicles, the D-538 and the B-6A, which you can learn about in their vehicle presentations, here! The new DLC also introduces new vehicle add-ons with which to take on The Ridge's treacherous hills.
Check out the image below to learn when the game releases in your region:
The Ridge Changelog:
Changelog:
Content
- New gameplay mode - Scavenge
- New map - The Ridge

Community Update:
Now, onto what is coming in the future!
We're now continuing to work more fully on what is coming out in the next releases - which would be MudRunner USA and MudRunner Switch (both working titles). As such, it means that we won't have much new information to give in the next couple of months about what we're working on with Spintires: MudRunner, aside from just repeating the same announcements each week.
As we move to working more fully on these two releases, we don't want the community updates to just say the same thing over and over - so the plan for future updates will be to showcase cool things from the community! To do this, we will begin showing off the best maps that we find, cool vehicle mods, and other interesting creative works made by you! Should you see anything, or make anything, that you're proud of, please send us a link to it, we'd love to see it too!
Thank you, and as always, we'll talk to you soon!

Hello everybody!
Yes, it's that time again - time for the monthly community update, where we let you know what's going on in Spintires: MudRunner behind the scenes.
Firstly, let's start with a thank you! Spintires: MudRunner has sold over one million copies, and we're incredibly thankful to the community for helping us get to that breathtaking number. We wouldn't have gotten there without you!
Now, on to the meat and bones of this update.
In last months update, we told you about some of our favourite mods that we'd played in the office. This month, we'd like to tell you about the MudRunner USA expansion that we've been teasing for a little while.
So, to start - the name. MudRunner USA will actually be called American Wilds, and will be an expansion pack for Spintires: MudRunner, and will be coming to PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch, at a to-be-announced date this fall.
American Wilds will come with many features that you have been asking for, including two new sandbox maps and licensed vehicles. We're not ready to announce what those vehicles are at this time, however, but we very much look forwards to introducing them to you!
Pricing wise, American Wilds will be available in two forms - you'll be able to buy it individually as an expansion pack, or as a full package with the original Spintires: MudRunner, in the Spintires: MudRunner - American Wilds edition. There will be more information about the pricing of this closer to release.
We don't have screenshots to show you of American Wilds at the moment, due to the fact that vehicles are still being worked on. Once we do have them, we'll show them to you here. We thank you for your patience with us on this.
Many thanks, and we look forwards to showing you more about American Wilds as time goes on!
