![]() It was an honour for us to have this opportunity and we wanted to share this with everybody.”Īside from the Gucci Caddy, the game offers a plethora of classic and quirky cars that will surely float anyone’s boat. “The collaboration with Gucci was something else,” said Spada. Racing games were always much more my vibe.Įspecially when given the option to drive a Gucci Cadillac through the hungry mouth of a Cobra, which is totally a thing in Hot Wheels Unleashed. Most of the time, my head was still buried in a pillow to hide my eyes from the beastly battles. Big bro would defeat the scary bosses in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask or Conker’s Bad Fur Day, and I’d high five him after doing so. When my brother and I upgraded from the velvet car mat to a gaming console, I assumed the role of cheerleader. Watching it back was a treat because every whimsical track transported me to a cherished childhood memory. The first time I indulged in Hot Wheels Unleashed was during my debut stream on the Traxion Twitch channel. To be honest, playing the game itself is also a huge win. Give us more’…it’s kind of winning a marathon.” When we saw people on the Facebook page or in the Discord community channels…saying, ‘Oh, the game is great! We’re having so much fun, thanks.

Milestone didn’t just create a racing game. Those cars were a staple of our childhood, actually.Īnd after downloading Hot Wheels Unleashed onto my PC and pressing ‘any button’ to fire up the game, I instantly felt like I was back on that car mat in my brother’s room, admiring his collection of Super Chromes and Real Riders. “Beep, beep!” I’d shout as we zipped the cars around the mat, sometimes driving right over the cartoon houses like a tiny bulldozer. We’d sit on his iconic felt car mat where we’d drive our shiny new Hot Wheels all around town. He’d be wearing his favourite Ninja Turtles’ pyjamas, while I’d rock a My Little Pony nightie.
