Ferrari game in development

Hopefully they don't screw it up. Something with a nice physics engine similar to Gran Turismo would be really nice, but I have a feeling it will be an arcade type to appeal to a broader audience, i.e. kids. Sigh. Keeping my fingers crossed anyway.

 

I hope it turns out well.

 

I agree the cars should react like real cars

 

fingers crossed.. this could work out quite well.

I hope we get to see a range of models available.. like a 328 etc..

I've quite enjoyed their games in the past.

This is AWESOME! 10tacle is the the outlet for SimBin, who's done the work for GTR, GT Legends and now, GTR 2. If you've had an opportunity to drive a 360 GT (not a Challenge car) or the 550 or 575 GTC in GTR or driven the MC12 in GTR 2, then there are NO worries! The physics engine is the gMotor 2.0, which is the only PC framework that is even remotely close to the finely honed GT4 engine. While it's great that Microsoft Studios and Bizarre have a license from Ferrari for the cars to appear in Forza and Project Gotham Racing, especially with all the eye candy the XBox 360 can give, the console games are nothing compared to the latest from 10tacle in the form of GTR 2.

(me too )

 

Me three!

 

Great news! This has got to be the best PC game for the whole decade!!! Hopefully, they won't make it like the NFS series nowadays which are all arcade style and drifting like there's no tomorrow.

 

Fortunately SimBin are knows for their ultra-realistic simulators GTR, GTR2 and soon also RACE (WTCC).

Sounds Very promising! can't wait!

 

Interesting. Cant wait for this one and if its made by the same people who make GTR, then it should be great.

 

is there any type of release date? like in a few years or 5?

 

I doubt it. It looks like they just started on the project.

 

Outrun is primarily a Ferrari game too, but this game should be amazing. I will be sure to buy this game once it comes out. Whats wrong with NFS too, its a great racing series, but the last good one was Hot Pursuit 2 where they only had 3 Ferraris. Hopefully this game will have 20+ and maybe even the P4/5, FXX, and F1 cars.

 

If I had back all of the quarters I dumped into Outrun, I could buy a Ferrari right now.

 

Hah! So true!

Seriously, the development work for SimBin's stuff comes primarily from a London firm called Blimey! Games. It is Blimey! that has secured the license, insuring that SimBin and the producer 10tacle will release the games. Development cycles are far shorter than they used to be (heck, I remember when Geoff Crammond spent years between every Grand Prix release) so I would expect to see it in 18-24 months.

 

you think itll come out for playstation2?just aking even though its old thats all i have right now

 

I realise that it's been a while, and with companies like 10tacle and Blimey! no longer surviving... it's hoped that the company "Slightly Mad Studios" which acquired Blimey! can sort out legal issues and get this game back on track!
