Ernst Fischer, an Austrian journalist and Marxist, once wrote in The Necessity of Art that “In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay.” He believed that art should show the world as changeable and help to change it. This sentiment resonates with the latest update in Wreckfest 2, which introduces a new tool called CRAP-IT for adding detailed rust, dirt, and dents to your car customization.
The developers at Bugbear have enhanced the car customization in Wreckfest 2, allowing players to go beyond just picking a color. CRAP-IT offers a unique way to add weathering effects to your vehicle, giving it a more realistic and worn look. Whether you prefer a pristine finish or a battered appearance, the choice is yours.
It’s exciting to see Wreckfest 2’s car customization evolving, complementing the already enjoyable racing experience that Bugbear has crafted. With new cars like the Volkswagen Beetle-inspired Buggy being added, players can now enjoy even more variety in demo derby combat.
In addition to these new features, Bugbear has also improved the game’s simulation of tires, suspension, and vehicle deformation. For a detailed list of bug fixes and updates, you can refer to the full patch notes.
As I reflect on the intersection of politics and car racing in this article, I can’t help but appreciate the irony of incorporating political ideologies into a discussion about cars. It’s a reminder of the diverse influences that shape our interests and hobbies. Now, I’m off to create some artistic dents on my virtual car, embracing the creativity that Wreckfest 2 offers.
