Forums - Sony Discussion - Distance coming to PS4 in 2015

"Experimental survival" racer playable at PlayStation Experience.

Distance, the Kickstarted “experimental survival racing” game from Refract Studios, is coming to PlayStation 4, the developer announced.

The game “takes the intense action of arcade racing and places it in an explorable, atmospheric world,” according to developer Jordan Hemenway. It offers “mysterious and deadly environments” with “treacherous obstacles,” tasking players with surviving points A to B, rather than doing laps on a loop. Your car, fortunately, allows you to “boost, jump, rotate, and fly,” and lets players take their own paths instead of constrain them to a single track. “You can even drive upside down or on buildings and walls parkour-style,” Hemenway said.

Multiplayer will also be available. Modes include:

  • Sprint Mode - A quick dash to the finish with the goal being the fastest time. As you boost, your car’s core systems will begin to overheat, so to maintain the fastest speed you’ll have to land tricks (like backflips or barrel rolls) to stay cool.
  • Reverse Tag Mode - Remain “it” for as long as possible. As other players start closing in you might want to scale a building for a quick escape, or dive bomb from a high point to use gravity to your advantage. Using car rotation to transition out of flight might be the best way to keep your momentum and stay in the lead.

There is also a single-player Adventure Mode that takes you through a short story where you learn each of the car’s abilities and how to use them to survive the game’s deadly environments.

If you’re at PlayStation Experience in Las Vegas this weekend, the game will be playable on PlayStation 4. Watch the console announcement trailer below.

Around the Network

I could get behind that. I've always enjoyed arcade/battle style racing like the mario karts and motorstorm than simple simulator the likes of Gran Turismo.

Just saw a video of this and it's way more than what it seemed at first glance.
Did a search on VGCz and this is the only thread that came up!

At the beginning it seemed like a futuristic Trackmania, then suddenly it became Jet Car Stunts
and then the infested areas took it to the next level. I'm in, I'll go the Distance xD
