I can't wait to open time rifts by going in reverse.

EDIT: Holy crap, I love the name they chose for the fansite.

Wait a minute...

  • Realistic Grey Void, one of the most famous features from the original Big Rigs, allows players to travel out of the map and into empty space, offering an infinite gameplay world and endless hours of fun
  • The return of a feature lost in the original Big Rigs, the addition of trailers to all vehicles. Now all Rigs can be optionally driven with their trailers, enhancing the realistic trucking experience further.
  • Versatile multiplayer action, featuring in-game chat to bring the joys of CB radio to your own home. The current user limits are not known, pending further testing.

Big Rigs Online has currently been released in early alpha stage, online multiplayer exists but gameplay elements do not currently.

What gameplay elements? Emulating the steering? That's pretty much all of Big Rig's gameplay elements right there. The stopping on a dime is easy, the infinite going in reverse is easy. Going through walls is easy. Steering up mountains is incredibly easy. The nonfunctional NPC's are easy (they'll be patched later on to move, but stop before crossing the finish line). There's no need for a good netcode because honestly, lagging around constantly sounds like half the fun.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

This is made by some random dude in game maker (You can see it due to the system buttons in the titlebar in the screenshots).

Not by the actual developer.

Although it would be pretty easy to make it better then the real big rigs actually was.
