Classic racing games FlatOut 1 & 2 just got upgraded, and there's also a small update for FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage too.

Developers at the ZOOM Platform continue working on retro games, to get them working nicely on modern hardware. Especially nice to see improved controller support, making them more accessible than ever. All three of them are quite highly rated too.

They should get Wreckfest devs to help them do a Redux / Remaster -- they could make a lot of money and improve player experience significantly.

This was a good series and could be fine wine.

Yeah so I played on Steam Deck and the controls feel pretty decent, still wish there was a way to control the music and volume via dpad but whatever, main controls seem to do just fine.
