Buckle Up for an Adrenaline-Fueled Road Trip in Heading Out, Out Now on PC

Embrace Your Inner Rebel and Hit the Open Road in This Stylish Narrative Driving Adventure

Get behind the wheel and prepare for the ride of your life in Heading Out, the hotly anticipated narrative driving game that just released on PC today! Developed by indie studio Serious Sim and published by Saber Interactive, this thrilling road trip experience takes inspiration from iconic American road movies to deliver an unforgettable cross-country adventure filled with high-stakes racing, meaningful choices, and stories that will stoke your spirit of rebellion.

With its unique blend of high-octane driving and compelling storytelling, Heading Out invites players to ditch the mundane and pursue an odyssey of self-discovery on the open roads of America. Whether you're yearning to outrun your fears, escape the long arm of the law, or simply chase your dreams to the horizon, this game is your ticket to an exhilarating joyride across the urban sprawls, desert highways, and forgotten backroads that make up the vast American landscape.

"Heading Out is all about capturing the visceral thrill and emotional weight of the great American road trip," says Sam Raimi, founder of Serious Sim. "We wanted to bottle that feeling of liberation you get when you put the pedal to the metal and let the world blur by, all while taking players on a high-stakes personal journey that will really resonate."

At its core, Heading Out is a freeform narrative adventure with roguelite elements that empower you to carve your own unique path across the United States. As you roar down the asphalt, you'll encounter a diverse cast of eccentric personalities that could become allies or antagonists depending on the choices you make. Will you lend a sympathetic ear to the lost soul hitchhiking on the side of the road, or zip past without a second thought? The impactful decisions are all up to you.

And with every pit stop on your transcontinental trek, radio stations and random citizens will spread tales of your growing legend, immortalizing your badass antics in the cultural zeitgeist. An eclectic Americana soundtrack provides the perfect mood music for your adrenaline-charged escapades too.

One of Heading Out's most compelling features is its innovative blend of real-time driving with meta-game strategic planning. Before hitting the road, you'll map out your intended route and resource management on an overhead map, carefully budgeting fuel, money, and vehicle repairs to increase your odds of making it to the final destination in one piece. Or you can take a more impulsive approach and just put the pedal to the metal, dealing with challenges as they arise in a daring, spur-of-the-moment road rally!

These races might seem like something you can simply do everytime your echallenged... but there are multiple factors you have to consider. Fear, sleep, car condition, and if the money is truly worth it based on the position you're in. If you lack sleep, it leaks over into your racing and your overall driving experience... so getting zzz's is a must. -  Blu 

No two journeys are ever the same in Heading Out. Procedural systems generate new narrative vignettes, races, vehicular challenges, environmental hazards, and more on each soul-searching run, ensuring a fresh and unpredictable ride every time you start up the ignition. And with the game's stylish graphic novel art style bringing the action-packed escapades to life, it's like playing through an interactive comic book brought to life.

So whether you're craving some cathartic nitrous-fueled street racing, an emotionally compelling narrative adventure, or just an opportunity to flip a middle finger to society's restrictions, Heading Out will satisfy all those cravings and more. The keys are in your hands, and the open road is calling!

Heading Out is available now on PC via Steam for $17.99 USD / €17.99 EUR / £14.84 GBP with a 10% launch discount until May 14, 2024. For the ultimate road trip experience, the Heading Out - Soundtrack Edition ($22.49 USD / €22.49 EUR / £18.44 GBP after discount) includes the game and its awesome original Americana soundtrack. Gun that engine and hit the streets in this one-of-a-kind driving opus!

Fisker Ocean Extreme for... $24,000 Off?! Yep, but is it Worth the Risk?

When it comes to electric vehicles, Tesla has long been the dominant force, but even it isn’t immune to challenges. From declining sales and increased competition to delayed product launches and polarizing brand perception, Tesla is facing major hurdles. If a company as established as Tesla is struggling, what does that mean for Fisker, an EV startup that has already filed for bankruptcy and left customers stranded? The main website isn't even accessible anymore, it's just a dealership location.

(Source Fisker, Inc.)

Deep Discounts... But at What Cost? Fisker has slashed prices on its Ocean SUV models, with some dropping by $24,000, making them among the cheapest new EVs available. While this might seem like an incredible deal, the reality is far more complicated. Fisker’s financial instability raises serious concerns about warranty support, parts availability, and long-term viability.

(Source EvehiclesDB)

Major Complaints & Risks Fisker vehicles have been plagued by mechanical and software issues, including:

• Rollaway risks – Some Ocean SUVs were investigated for failing to shift into park, leading to injuries.

• Braking failures – Complaints of sudden loss of braking performance and inadvertent emergency braking.

• Abandoned vehicles – Fisker’s bankruptcy left dealers dumping unsold Ocean SUVs on the side of the road, with owners struggling to find support or spare parts.

(Source HonestJohn UK)

Better Alternatives at Similar Price Points Instead of gambling on Fisker, buyers can look at more reputable brands that offer strong reliability, better resale value, and long-term support. Some notable options include:

• Honda – Known for dependability and resale value, with solid hybrid and gas-powered options.

• Toyota – A leader in hybrid technology, offering affordable and reliable vehicles.

• Mazda & Subaru – Highly rated for customer satisfaction and safety.

Is Gasoline Still an Option? While EVs are said to be the future, gasoline-powered vehicles offer affordability and reliability without the uncertainty of a struggling EV startup. So it's something Fisker may want to consider if they want to try and turn things around.

Final Verdict Fisker’s discounted prices might look tempting, but the lack of stability, unresolved complaints, and bankruptcy issues make it a high-risk purchase. If you’re looking for a long-term investment, it’s smarter to go with brands that have proven reliability and strong support networks... because the cheap can come out quite expensive (when they're heavily discounted for a reason). Personally, I'm a big fan of the Hyundai Kona, but... drive what works for you!

PACIFIC DRIVE - DELUXE EDITION

Do you feel like jumping into the driver's seat for a unique kind of survival game? If so, Pacific Drive might just be the perfect choice to satisfy those other cravings.

Get ready to blast off with the Pacific Drive: Deluxe Edition! This bundle includes the game plus an additional items pack themed around space exploration, that you can use to customize your station wagon.

In this pack you’ll find:

• Space shuttle-themed decal kit
• Custom glow-in-the-dark stars decal kit

• Pacific Drive Base Game

Pacific Drive is a first-person driving survival game with your car as your only companion. Navigate a surreal reimagining of the Pacific Northwest, and face supernatural dangers as you venture into the Olympic Exclusion Zone. Each excursion into the wilderness brings unique and strange challenges as you restore and upgrade your car from an abandoned garage that acts as your home base. Gather precious resources and investigate what’s been left behind in the Zone; unravel a long-forgotten mystery while learning exactly what it takes to survive in this unpredictable, hostile environment.

Features

• Outrun the storm while facing strange perils in a world that shifts with every journey into the Zone
• Your car, your way – scavenge resources to craft new equipment and configure your wagon how you want. Experiment with different mods and car parts to navigate a treacherous landscape, and look good doing it
• Unravel the mystery of the Olympic Exclusion Zone, an abandoned research site in an anomaly-filled version of the Pacific Northwest
• Original score by Wilbert Roget, II and featuring 20+ licensed songs

DRIVE TO SURVIVE

It’s you and your station wagon against an unforgiving, vicious world. It’ll take more than a fresh set of tires to keep you alive, on and off the road. Your faithful wagon can be upgraded and reinforced to protect you, but the car is going to take a beating. Keep your gas tank filled and your panels intact to withstand the radiation permeating the Zone. You’ll be pushed to your limit - making repairs on the fly, scavenging materials wherever you can, and adapting your rolling fortress to tackle the many life-threatening dangers that lurk in the shadows.

INVESTIGATE THE ZONE

The experimental leftovers of the secretive ARDA organization remain scattered across the Zone, and finding answers won’t be easy. Everywhere you look you’ll find anomalies, surreal forces of a twisted nature that make your journey more difficult... or more interesting. Silhouettes in the dark, rolling piles of scrap metal, and towering pillars of earth - each trip is packed with otherworldly hazards. As terrifying as those may be, nothing compares to the overwhelming power of a Zone Storm. Stomp on the gas and outrun it if you can - these rolling maelstroms rend the landscape and obliterate anything that sticks around too long. Don’t let that be you.

REPEAT

Check the map, pack some gear for the trip, and hit the road. Gather resources and collect data as you go, there’s all sorts of useful stuff inside the walls of the Zone. Make it back safely and use the contents of your trunk to improve your car and garage. Every time you venture out, new trials await: bizarre weather, unforgiving landscapes, and experimental remnants. The golden rule in the Zone is ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’ — some materials can only be found in the most dangerous places. Be smart out there, and don’t waste time — it’s going to be a long haul.
