THQ has released a trailer featuring footage from BAJA.
THQ has long been known as the leading publisher of off-road racing video games. Continuing this trend, we’ve recently announced BAJA, a brand-new original property that is beyond compare of anything we’ve put out in the past. This new title is expanding the off-road genre with epic open worlds and horizontal gameplay in a nonlinear-style race unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.
Race a true Baja 1000 in real-time and test your endurance in a race designed to last up to 240 minutes. This thrilling, edge-of-control racing experience, where players will build the ultimate off-road vehicle and conquer the harshest terrain Mother Nature has to offer, is the most realistic off-road racing experience ever.
Scale huge mountains, large bridges and steep canyons across more than 25 square-miles of terrain in each of BAJA’s epic open worlds. Experience intense competition and push the limits of the realistic physics and handling across dirt, dust, mud, silt, heat, gravel and water with several different vehicle classes. Fenders and spare tires will be lost, tires will be blown, suspension stressed and engines will overheat. With realistic vehicle damage, players will have to manage the repairs to their vehicle by replacing tires with their spare, pulling into hot-pit repair areas and calling in for helicopter support parts. The game features a wide array of licensed vehicles and parts, where advanced vehicle customization affects performance.
