Ah, PlayStation faithful… we meet again! Scott from TikGames-Creat Studios here, with another PlayStation Network announcement to shake up that afternoon (or morning, or evening) slump that you all know too well. We at TikGames-Creat Studios are quite psyched to announce the release of a new Add-On Pack for our much-loved RC racing game, Smash Cars!
Surely you already know about Smash Cars, our tricked-out RC car racing game, right? Right? With real-time physics simulation and vehicle customization, players twist and turn, grind and gear up, perform aerial tricks and stunts while racking up points, bump into obstacles, blah blah blah. Our new DLC tosses in some great new features to enhance that fast-paced experience.
The new Smash Cars: Virus Run features an all new online racing mode for up to six players to battle to the finish line. But this time, one randomly selected player quickly becomes the group’s foe! The “infected” car rushes the racetrack with the ability to contaminate other players. When the infected player hits an opponent’s car, the victim joins the effort. And, just to make things even more interesting, we tossed in a new Skate Park at the center of the island, complete with half-pipes and springboards to perfect your trick and stunt skills during the Virus Run mode.
Adding to the tears of joy (or fear) we know you’re all shedding, TikGames-Creat Studios is thrilled to show how we’ve been listening to all of you that have sent countless emails, blog responses, bulletin-board posts and screams from rooftops. We’re including the feature that has been, by far, the most requested for Smash Cars: local two-player split screen! Gamers can now race their mini-cars past angry beach-goers and over boardwalks while playing against friends and family, and show just much better they are than everyone else. The Add-On will be available for download on 16 June in Europe for €2.99.
On a serious note, we know that a few of you original Smash Cars owners had some trouble with our online multiplayer mode. We really want to thank all of you for the feedback (Some folks were incredibly generous with their time!) and to let you know we indeed have been listening. Available now in Europe, a free patch will be available for automatic download for all Smash Cars owners on to improve your online multiplayer experience.
We say this every time, but it will never, ever get old: Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your support and feedback. We can’t do what we love without you.
And one more thing… be sure to join our Facebook page and follow @CreatStudios on Twitter for updates live from E3, including TerRover!

Tell me about it, zerolaff! I’m sure they have a ton more excitement to share, plus we know there will be more details about Creat’s new game TerRover at E3, right?

Err, not sure if that was a question or a comment, moriarty1975. Anything I can help to clear up?

Thanks for the reminder about Smash Cars. I enjoyed the demo but haven’t gotten around to buying the full game yet. Will definitely buy it now – the skate park sounds awesome!
@zerolaff – what else could SONY have left for E3? Let me think – a replacement for the PSP Go perhaps? (since they’re desperate to get shot of their current stock!)

Just a comment! I’m used to smaller sized patches, but i guess the DLC is in the patch and we buy an unlock key? I’ll buy the DLC but having to pay for something that really should have been in the game from the start? (2 player splitscreen)
