“Look at how similar this game is to the original one. And yet, look at the difference in its success; I think there's a lot of lessons to be learned there, in terms of how much polishing a gameplay concept can make a difference, and how much your timing makes a difference,” says Hagewood. “This game is coming out right now when there's kind of a lull, and it's also at a time when eSports and YouTube and Twitch streaming are really big. The game has always shined in that respect, even back in 2009, but...all that stuff is so much more important now. “

“So if you have a game concept that doesn't do well, it's not necessarily true that the concept is a failure. It's not necessarily worth dropping that idea. Maybe it just needs to be done in a better way, or at a better time.”

As we mentioned in our launch post earlier this month, the Supersonic Fury DLC Pack includes two brand new Battle-Cars: the over-the-top American muscle car Dominus, and the souped-up Japanese street racer Takumi. Both of these vehicles offer six different Decals for Garage customization (12 total) and are only available for play in the DLC.

Besides the new Battle-Cars, the DLC Pack also includes two all-new Rocket Boosts (“Nitrous” and “Burnout”), two new Wheel sets (the soccer ball-themed “Cristiano” and the very-cool “Spinner” set), five all-new Paint Types (“Brushed Metal,” “Carbon Fiber,” “Metallic Pearl,” “Pearlescent,” and “Wood”), and a handful of new Trophies. This entire collection will be available in early August for $3.99.
