Fuel (video game)

Fuel is an open world racing video game developed by Asobo Studio and published by Codemasters. The game was released in North America in June 2009 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows. It is set in a post-apocalyptic United States after the Sun scorched the Earth, with a completely free-to-roam open world approximately 5,560 square miles (14,400 km2) in size, which is roughly the size of the U.S. state of Connecticut. In the free roaming mode, the game features the ability to drive anywhere in the game world without incurring loading times, but crashing a vehicle – or invoking the reset function to return to the road – does invoke a loading screen.

Gameplay

setting of Fuel allows players to seamlessly drive all the way towards and up into the snowy regions of the distant mountains. Fuel is an open world racing game set in a Mad Max-like post-apocalyptic world ravaged by extreme weather fueled by global warming, with players experiencing varying weather effects such as occasional tornadoes and sandstorms, as well as an accelerated day-night cycle. The map in which the game takes place is over 14,400 square kilometers large. To generate such a map, Fuel uses procedural generation with a fixed seed, as the map likely wouldn't have fit on the game disk if stored traditionally. ==Development==

Development

Fuel evolved from a game Asobo Studio announced in 2005, called Grand Raid Offroad. The award for largest playable area in a console game was awarded to Fuel developer Asobo Studio. Guinness World Records presented the developer with a certificate to commemorate the achievement. ==Reception==
