THQ stays on the off-road racing bandwagon with Baja

Set for release on both the Xbox 360 and PS3 this August, the off-road racer will include support for 4-player split screen gameplay, as well as up to 12 players online or over a LAN. And for those with setups that far exceed our own, the game will also support multiple-screen panoramic view. THQ has also confirmed that the game will include some 40+ different vehicles, as well as the ability for players to upgrade off-road rides using "a full array of upgradeable options with hundreds of authentic parts." Still, with an emphasis on arcade-style racing, it seems as if 2XL is attempting to strike some sort of balance between over-the-top and authenticity, something that, in our experience at least, rarely turns out well.

What ever happened to that game that looked like an open world offroad racing game. The trailer that was shown had no roads to follow just wide open expanses you could race across with cars tearing through tall grasses and over jumps. It was shown around the time of the 360 launch but never to be seen again. Looked good though.

You mean Grand raid offroad? It was put on hold because of some other project they wanted to finish first.

Why so little traffic on this day? Everyone drunk I suppose. So much virtual driving might dissuade them from drunk driving.
