[PC Games] Stampede: Racing Royale Brings Mario Kart-Style Action to IGN Live

[Nasty™]

LOS ANGELES—If you somehow thought Mario Kart needed more chaos, the upcoming Stampede: Battle Royale may be more your speed. Like Mario Kart, it's a racing game with highly varied circuits and potent power-ups designed to wreck the competition. Now imagine a race involving 60 people on that same track, and you’ll get a good idea of what to expect. Developer Sumo Games demoed the game at IGN Live, giving us a chance to test-run the kart racer.

The controls are fairly simple, which shouldn’t surprise anyone who plays kart racers. On a standard controller, you pull the right trigger to accelerate, pull the left trigger to powerslide, and press A to use items you collect on the track. We unleashed a few power-ups, including a tracking explosive that works like the red shells in Mario Kart.
