Team Fortress 2 gets another surprise “exploits and stability” update

Alex Ward and Fiona Sperry are two former members of Criterion, the studio behind Burnout. They left a while back to form a new studio called Three Fields and have finally started talking about what they’re working on.

Unsurprisingly, there’s a driving game in there. A crashy one:

That mention of “the second, the third or the forth one” suggests it might be a more trad racing experience, shying away from Burnout Paradise’s (the fifth one) more open world and online take on the series. It also sounds like it’s going to be a way off if that sports game’s first. If I had to guess I’d say the first game will be a smaller, digital thing to raise funds before tackling anything more ambitious.
