Destruction AllStars, the long-forgotten PlayStation 5 crash-‘em-up, is completely rebooting its scoring system in an attempt to encourage more skilful gameplay. Mechanics in the original release were criticised for seemingly serving little purpose, like the on-foot parkour and melee combat. Wreckognition will attempt to fix that by encouraging players to chain together moves.
Each technique you perform will boost your combo differently, so you’ll get a smattering of points for swapping vehicle but even more for triggering a demolition. As you chain together more and more techniques your combo will multiply, giving you greater visual feedback on your actions. Moreover, you’ll need to execute these moves to unlock your hero vehicle, which was previously obtained passively.
In order to explain all of these new systems, developer Lucid Games is integrating a new tutorial section, which will help to get new and returning players up-to-speed. It’s all part of a big update planned to release on 26th January, which the studio hopes will revive the ailing combat racer’s fortunes. Is this enough to convince you to give it another go?

I'll check it out. Probably won't play a lot even if it's better though.
Forgotten indeed!
@PhantomMenace84 The trophies for me made a compelling reason to play the game. Once I got the Platinum trophy I peace'd out. I enjoyed the game and I hope Lucid turns it around. Maybe add a new trophy list?
i enjoyed it for about a month. after that i just got tired of it.
still a MP game that manages to make me play it at all for more then a day is a mild success for me.
hands up who forgot this game
A bad idea that should have been left on the cutting room floor. There's no resurrecting this lame duck.
This game sucked. There's no sugar coating it. Major misfire.
I think Sony should save some money and developers that could be more useful elsewhere and pull the plug entirely on this absolute failure, Lair on PS3 will have a better legacy.
Forgotten is right. I had forgotten it existed and I actually enjoyed what I played of it.
I really want to play it but without a PS5 thats a issue.
Sony should have made a new Twisted Metal in the first place.
A reminder this game was originally being sold for £70.
One look at these character designs was enough to turn me off. Lucid are probably better off as support devs to Studios that have better vision and execution.
so busy my ps5 has not been turned on for 3weeks since before Christmas and usually I game more in winter months.....ohhhh well
This game never maintained my interest long enough for me to even understand what the system was for scoring (and I doubt it was all that complicated). I can't imagine a new scoring system is going to fix my lack of interest
To think this game was going to cost £70 to buy at one point.
I hope this games will once won't be developed at all...
@nessisonett There must have been at least a couple of people that paid that to have a PS5 game ready, may those people one day find peace and love in this cruel world.
Decently fun game, i uninstalled as my ps5 is always low on space, but might re-install to check out this new update.
I think the game has a really solid base foundation, it just lacks depth and has weird progression systems. Hopefully this helps, though I don't think it'll bring many people back in.
Still play it regularly. Great game
