Formula Fusion

Formula Fusion is a futuristic racing video game developed by R8 Games for Microsoft Windows which is under development for release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. A kickstarter campaign by R8 Games was successful in securing over £79,000 to begin development on the game which was released as an early access version through Steam in August 2015.

The game is a spiritual successor to the Wipeout series with many of the R8 Games staff having worked on earlier titles in that series for Psygnosis and Studio Liverpool before Sony closed the studio in 2012. R8 Games founder Andrew Walker was part of the team that were awarded a BAFTA for best design on Wipeout 3 in 1999. The Designers Republic, the graphic design studio that designed visual assets and marketing for the first three Wipeout games, has also contributed to the game.

A console release is planned for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game uses the Unreal 4 game engine with modifications to the open source code to enhance the feeling of speed.

Reception
The game received very mixed reviews upon exiting early access. Critics praised the graphics, the sound, and claimed that the game felt very true to the Wipeout series, while heavily criticizing the insubstantial amount of content as well as unforeseen bugs. Many critics claimed that the game felt unfinished and not ready for full release outside of early access.
