Baja - Edge of Control, Developer Q&A

All I know about this game is that I initially pronounced it wrong (it's 'baha'), what this video tells me:

Baja - Edge of Control Demo

and what Wikipedia tells me:
[URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baja:_Edge_of_Control]Wikipedia[/URL] wrote:
Baja: Edge of Control is an off road racing videogame currently in development by THQ studios. The game gets its name because it is loosely based around the real life Baja 1000 off road race. The game is set on 95 different tracks, including 3 different Baja 200 courses, 2 Baja 500 courses, and 1 Baja 1000 course. The Baja 1000 track is set to take over three hours to complete, something the developers hope will revolutionize off road racing games in the future.

I also don't play racing sims at all really, the most realistic racing game I play is Sega Rally.


Now, I have been offered an email Q&A with the developers 2XL Games.

What should I ask them?

    Hahah. "You can roam 25 Sq. Miles. But we force you to stay on the track, or you lose the experience."

    okay, I was going to say "They'd better let me go wherever the heck I'd want" but I guess that quote sums it up. Boo :(

    I think you misjudge people.

    Some people will.

    I never would.

    If I crash into a tree, why does my vehicle stop, instead of the tree falling over?

    Trees do stop vehicles on some instances. That first one probably should have gotten crushed, but the vehicle would still stop.

    You realize people play and complete the Le Mans 24 hour race in grand tourismo... A race that last for 24 hours straight.

    Realism does not always equal fun. Games are supposed to be fun. That tree not falling over? Not fun.
    Not only that but they teleport you back behind all the other racers. :|

    The Gran Turismo of off roading? Please. He said that as I flew about 80 feet into the air, landed on the asphalt, and made e-brake turns on a dime. Not to mention traffic, what? There isn't much realistic, or groundbreaking for that matter, about this game.

    If you want realism, stick with the rally racing in GT3.

    Any update on this LewieP? I think the game came out todya, or atleast will be coming out shortly. Reviews are calling it brutal (engine can overheat if you floor the accelerator too much? Yes please!), so its gotten my interest. Need to know if this supports a G25

    I never got back to them...lack of interest here and the fact that I personally know nothing about the genre meant that it would have basically been "so....tell me about the game"

    To be fair, the best question I could think off would probably have been:

    "so how fucked are you now that codemasters is releasing Fuel"

    Heh, me and Willeth had an awesome discussion about how all racers on the 360 have to have 4 letter names.
