Former Buout devs working on new driving game - CNET

Alex Ward, the director of the Buout series, has confirmed work has begun on a new driving game. He announced the project with a short and sweet message on Twitter, but no further details on the game were provided.

Ward is working on the title alongside fellow Criterion Games alumni Fiona Sperry. The two founded a new indie studio called Three Fields Entertainment in 2014.

Three Fields previously released Dangerous Golf, a game which had some very obvious Buout inspirations. It tasked players with hitting a golf ball in a way that would cause the most damage to their surroundings.

"It's as serious a golf game as Buout was a serious simulation to driving games," Three Fields said prior to its release. "We wanted to mix the attitude of Buout with the destruction of Black (a 2004 first-person shooter from Criterion) whilst setting the golf ball on fire--a nod to NBA Jam. This type of gameplay is part of our DNA, and something we think our fans will truly enjoy."
