From the Floor: Freeverse Gameplay Videos
posted by Blake Patterson on January 7th, 2009 2:16 PM EST in Racing, Sports, Upcoming Games, iPhone games, iPod touch gamesAs promised yesterday, we've posted a few rough gameplay video clips taken from the noisy Macworld expo floor of the upcoming iPhone titles that Freeverse is displaying.
Slotz Racer
Days of Thunder
Flick Sports Baseball
Not on display at the Freeverse booth is a fourth game that's currently in the works, a futuristic RPG / trading game set in a post-apocalyptic United States, 15 years in the future. In Roads of Ruin, the player is a motorcycle courier that delivers goods amongst the various, warring regions into which the US has crumbled. Freeverse tells us that, of their four upcoming titles, Roads of Ruin is the furthest out from App Store release and should be available several months from now.
I was really hoping you have footage of the baseball one, since I'll be buying that for sure
bummer, I'm really interested in that 4th game.
I played slotz racer briefly. thought it was really fun.

I agree with Arn. Slotz Racer is a great play. I can see myself spending lots of short game sessions with that on the morning commute.
Slotz Racer looks pretty cool, but I'm disappointed in the lack of loops, banked turns and other cool elements of slot track racing. Personally that was my favorite part about playing with the actual toys, the exciting loops and such. Hopefully they will be included but not shown yet, or in an update at least. Days of Thunder looks pretty good, the physics and car explosions are amazing. Flick Baseball also looks awesome, I'm sure the controls will be spot on.
Thanks for the heads up Blake and Arn, Wish we could be there with ya, I am stoked about slotz racer, Looks shweet! Did you get a chance to try the level editor???
days of thunder look pretty smooth..
I love sports games from Flick, got hooked on their fishing game and their bowling is fun too although not nearly as replayable.
Just curious for Slotz Racer, to run the slot car you just tap to move and release to slow? If so, I suggest that freeverse make a slider so you can control the constant speed. I remember slot racing quite well. Speed is a huge part of the strategy for making the corners. If you completely let go of the trigger I believe the racer would stop completely.
Days of Thunder honestly looks great. Can't wait to hear more about this title.
days of thunder remind me the SEGA daytona USA..
I'm liking the zip ties that are holding the iPhone to the stand. Its really, creative. No hard, and covering case or something. Zip ties.
Yellow and black uniforms? Seriously?
@ Galley
See forum on Flick Baseball. You have extensive uniform customization.
"Roads of Ruin" starring Kevin Costner. Not content with just playing a postman in a post-apocalyptic United States, Costner returns as a motorcycling merchant.
hehe just kidding, but "The Postman" was the first thing I thought of when I read the description for "Roads of Ruin"
David, the first thing I thought of when I read it was AutoDuel/Car Wars (except you're on a motorcycle I guess). Especially since Car Wars was also heavily focused on things like courier missions, etc. Have to imagine it's at least on the minds of the people creating "Roads of Ruin". I hope it is though, something in that vein would be awesome.
