Well, here is an up-to-date info about different Stunts sequels or Stunts-inspired games.

XRaySink :
No files so far, guys told they are on alpha state.
Only a picture of track editor is available : http://sourceforge.net/dbimage.php?id=21809


Ultimate Stunts :
Version 0.6.1 so far, but project is in stand-by mode as main of the programmers is in Japan for a few months.
Web page : http://www.ultimatestunts.nl/index.php?page=0&lang=en
Picture of developpement of current version :



Stunts 3D :
Italian project, alpha state, but no recent news. Maybe dead... Mark L. Rivers maybe could contact them in Italian to learn if it's still active.
Website : http://stunts3d.sourceforge.net/
Pictures :





Mania Drive :
Recent and active project.
Version 1.01 available since 2 weeks. I download it right now. :D
It seems mostly dedicated to online play. Closer to TrackMania than Stunts, but still Stunts-inspired.

I've just sent a mail to the developers. I'm waiting for the reply...

Mark L. Rivers

A very fast reply....

This is the answer: "Hi, unfortunately the project had been on its way for an examination of graphic interfaces to the university of Pisa... 2 or 3 years ago. After the examination despite the mutual promises to continue the development, it has been abandoned entirely."

Really a pity....

Krys TOFF

Thanks Mark. And damn ! It's too bad...

I had no time to test Mania Drive yesterday because I had to focus on a Forza competition. I'll test it tonight and will give you a feedback. I just hope my graphic card (an old GeForce 2 MX) will be sufficient... :roll:

Not a real Stunts sequel, but an interesting game anyway : Stunts Playground.






Freeware game, sadly it's only for Win 2K/XP, so I can't test it because I have older version of Windows. >:( I'll try to test it at some friend's computer.
It seems to be an arena, with simple oval race ouside and dirt inside for you to design your own stunts crazyness.
Check it there, as some other games by the same creator (I especially like the simple but addictive "Weave 3D" game) : http://walaber.com/index.php?action=showitem&id=7 (click on images to see them at full lenght on this website)
Fan site : http://stunt-playground.ic.cz/en/index.php with some arenas to download.

Update of the WIP and new projects found.

Ultimate Stunts :
Versions 0.6.3 and 0.7.0 have been released since my last post. Still a lot to do until the final version anyway.


Mania Drive :
Version 1.2 is out since august 2006, but this game is much more a TrackMania-like than a Stunts-like.


Stunts Karts :
Another project found, no image or file to download so far. Maybe dead even before a single demo released...


Stunt Car Ra cer : (I added a blank to avoid the "pipsqueak" transformation of the word rac er)
Inspired by Stunts and not by original Geoff Crammond's Stunts Car pipsqueak. Based on Ogre engine like Stunts Playground, so I can't test it as Win XP is required. Promising and still active.
Only original Stunts elements are implemented so far as they plan to keep a full compatibility with original Stunts tracks, but maybe new elements especially for this version will appear later.
Website : http://stuntcarra cer.sourceforge.net/ (here again I added a blank to avoid the "pipsqueak" transformation of the word rac er)

Some pictures of November 2006 version (a new one was supposed to be released at the end of january but there's nothing so far) :
http://stuntcarra cer.sourceforge.net/G2/index.html (adding image in my post don't work due to "pipsqueak" transformation, again I added a blank character)
Pictures of 1st version :
http://stuntcarrac er.sourceforge.net/G1/index.html (same as above)


Car World :
Another Stunts-inspired project. not sure it will be finalized as the goal of the developper is to study the modeling of car physics.

Website : http://carworld.sourceforge.net/




Carnage :
More inspired by Destruction Derby or Stunts Playground than by Stunts, but maybe there will be some Stunts-related elements, dunno as it's only the beginning of the project so far.

Or enjoy "real racing" with trucks with the "18 wheels of steel" games (5 so far) by the Czech company SCS (the guys who made "Duke Nukem : Manhattan Project").
They also made a bus version a few days ago named "Bus Driver".

There's also the Hard Truck 1 & 2 / King of the road / Rig'n'Roll truck games serie by the Russian team developpers Softlab.

this seems nice too, but i'm afraid that devellopers can't catch the "hype" stunts was/is in a new video game , though i tought crashday could be the next best thing but not "it"
ultimate stunts seems nice but has a many bugs and doesn't play smooth
the italian project seemed to have the good ingredients but that's just point of view
anyway let's hope for somebody to make a nice sequel?
drive it like you stole it, drift it like you own it

TrackMania and Crashday have their own topics, so I didn't talk about them in this topic. ;)

boussini

drive it like you stole it, drift it like you own it
