If you’re going to go open-world racing in the post-apocalyptic world of Codemasters’ Fuel, you’re going to need to pick the right vehicle.
Last Thursday’s Codemasters event had some major pluses and minuses. I’m counting Overlord II as a plus – and all three times the speakers blew out as minuses.
For a game with no boundaries and 5,000-square miles to play in, this trailer sure does show a lot of traditional looking race courses.
Fuel, says Codemaster’s exec producer David Brickley, is soooooo big that it makes Paradise City – off of Criterion’s Burnout – look like a postage stamp by comparison.
The game – as Codemasters has been telling us for a while now – has a open play area equivalent to 5,000 square miles. It’s not a great comparison – even by Brickley’s calculations (he used Powerpoint, bless) Paradise City would need to be a postage stamp about 2.5 miles across – but I think we get his point.
So flippin’ huge is the game that if made using ‘traditional methods’ (we think he is referring to data compression rather than hand tools and leather aprons) the game would fill a whopping 4 Blu-ray discs as opposed to the still fairly ginormous 1 Blu-ray disc it actually takes up.

A few days ago we told you about FUEL, the new racing game Codemasters announced at Leipzig. Today you get to see what it looks like in all of its glory. It kind of has the Motorstorm feel to it, but with a really cool climate twist and an insane 5,000 square mile playing area.
