Potete scaricare da questo link un nuovo video di anteprima, da ben 53MB, in arrivo direttamente dalla fiera Games Convention di Lipsia, che mostra in azione la spettacolare grafica del prossimo Xpand Rally Xtreme della software house polacca Techland.

Techland would like to announce that they have today released the first gameplay movie to showcase their latest rally game, Xpand Rally Xtreme. This is the first installment of a series to enable gamers to see what Xpand Rally Xtreme has to offer, focusing upon the newly-designed rallytrack geometry.

"We have redefined the whole concept of gravel, mud and sand in the new Xpand Rally Xtreme " - said Adrian Ciszewski, Xpand Rally Xtreme Project Manager at Techland. "Ruts, potholes, jumps and debris on the road will enhance the experience of your extreme rally driving on any given course. These elements are not in the game just for show either, they have been implemented to enhance your driving experience and gameplay quality. Xpand Rally Xtreme 's new complex car modeling and simulation systems constantly track irregularities in the road surfaces, allowing for an extremely precise suspension simulation.

A fast run over grooves in the track might lead to one of the wheels loosing grip or contact with the surface, resulting in a sudden loss of control. A driver might also find himself driving into a deep rut round a long curve. If we loose up on the controls and allow the car to take its natural trajectory, it might even aid us. However, if we try to drive out of the rut, because of the trajectory of the rut, this will cause us to go through the curve too slowly, which will most likely result in skidding off the track. Clearly, these are only some of the new characteristic elements of driving over irregular surfaces".

To findout more about Techland’s Xpand Rally Xtreme book an appointment to see them at the Games Convention in Leipzig Germany, from 23rd to 27th of August Business Center booth No H34.

The new Xpand Rally Xtreme will be available in stores later this year. A Precise date has not yet been set.

Indie developer Brightland updates the Amazing Curves Racing demo with real-time interactive car setup. Springs, shocks, tires, mass distribution, ride height, etc., can all be adjusted in real time, without leaving the simulation.

Amazing Curves Racing (ACR) features bicubic curved road surfaces with bicubic displacement mapping, providing the most realistic road to tire simulation in the industry. While ACR uses an advanced flexible tire simulation and accurate 3D physics engine, the cars are easy to drive, even with keyboard control and all driving aids disabled. Joysticks and force feedback wheels are also supported.

ACR's physics engine was designed for online play, and effectively hides lag and jitter from 0 to 300+ms latency. Up to 24 online players and 64 total cars are supported.

Prima recensione in rete per l'atteso GTR 2 dei Simbin: potete leggere l'intero articolo, pubblicato dal sito di PC Format, a questo indirizzo.

PC gamers, of course, had the illusion that anyone can be a racing god wholly obliterated when GTR rolled up to the grid. Thousands of screens simultaneously filled with grey smoke as self proclaimed driving experts (often of the same calibre as those found lurking at retail parks on a Sunday evening) performed a synchronised wheelspin ballet. GTR required serious perseverance and many were turned off in an instant by the sheer amount going on in that physics engine...

Vi segnaliamo quattro nuovi video di anteprima, rilasciati in questi giorni, dedicati al prossimo Test Drive Unlimited della Eden Games targato Atari, che sarà disponibile a partire da novembre.

Il team di sviluppo dell'atteso iRacing ha annunciato oggi una nuova partnership ufficiale con il tracciato americano del Miller Motorsports Park, accordo che consentirà quindi di avere nel gioco l'esatta riproduzione di ogni dettaglio.

iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations today announced that Miller Motorsports Park, the longest road racing circuit in North America, will join an expanding list of ovals, road courses and karting tracks to be offered for online racing and testing at iRacing.com.

The $80-million complex, which opened in late 2005, has quickly established itself as one of the sport's premier facilities, hosting professional races for the International Motor Sports Association, the Grand American Road Racing Association, the Sports Car Club of America and American Motorcyclists Association, as well as various amateur and vintage racing events.

"One of the keys to our business is offering racers the opportunity to experience a broad spectrum of race tracks, all replicated with precision measured in millimeters," said Brett Roubinek, vice president of marketing for iRacing.com. "Adding a top-level circuit like Miller gives real-world racers the chance to hone their skills around one of the newest and most challenging circuits in the country and allows all racing enthusiasts a chance to experience one of the world's great racetracks from behind the wheel."

Track founder Larry H. Miller, who, in addition to the Park, owns the Utah Jazz basketball team and more than 40 car dealerships, contracted with world-renowned racetrack architect Alan Wilson to build the Tooele, Utah, facility, which includes a 4.5-mile, 24-turn configuration, as well as two 2.2-mile layouts and a karting track of almost one mile.

We are very pleased to have Miller Motorsports Park as a part of the iRacing.com program," said Alan Wilson, chief executive officer and general manager of Miller Motorsports Park. "Our track, with its length, complexity and challenge, should become a favorite with iRacing.com members, and the simulation will help race drivers learn the track."

Exactrac Laser Scanning Complete
iRacing.com's laser-scanning team recently completed the first step of the exactrac process for Miller Motorsports Park, spending almost a full week scanning each of Miller's three configurations and the karting circuit. The team also took more than 5,000 photographs of the facility, which will be used to add detail, depth and realism to the track as it is incorporated into the simulation.

Future iRacing.com Web site updates will follow the progress of the Miller Motorsports Park track-modeling process, including conversion of the scan data into the proprietary iRacing.com format; generation of the track geometry (also known as the "spline"); the addition of trackside objects, features and details through three-dimensional and two-dimensional artistry; and finally, the incorporation of visual details such as cracks, scrapes, oil stains and tire marks (also known as track surface decals).

Shortly before this years’ Games Convention developer Simbin Development and Publisher 10TACLE STUDIOS AG release the next track-teaser for their racing-highlight "GTR2 – FIA GT Racing Game".

#CONTINUE#

The BMW M3 GTR from Team BMW Motorsport does a best-time lap of the world-famous track "Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari" in Imola. Racing fans can look over the driver’s shoulder to the sound of a roaring V8 and see from a number of different perspectives just what the legendary Italian tracks’ curves have to offer.

Those no longer content with just watching and wanting to take the wheel themselves will have their chance at the Games Convention in Leipzig. From the 24th to the 27th of August the fight for the best lap time is on in the daily "Hot - Lap Contest". At stake are over €10,000 in fantastic prizes totalling, including one of the highly-popular racing simulators. This makes a visit to the 10T stand in Hall 3 B20 an absolute must.

GTR 2 is the official simulation of the FIA GT racing series. More than 140 highly-detailed race cars, a choice of 34 different track designs, breathtaking graphics and outstanding physics provide incredible variety in the race for the championship. GTR 2 will be taking the PC track in September 2006.

All cars start out with the same Engine, Transmission, Suspension, Tires, Steering Column, Exhaust System, Carburetion, and Drive Shafts. The difference at the start is in the remainder of the physics, Drag Coefficient, Car Weight, Differential Ratio and a few other specifications taken directly from the manufacturers spec sheet for the car. These give each car its own personality; one might do very well in the drag races and not as well in the oval or road courses and vice versa.

As you race and win, modify your car and build it into a true racing machine by purchasing upgrade components in the garage. Hover your mouse pointer over the HUD car in the garage to see what modifications you have, and then select a category to modify (make sure you have a car selected from your stock or the HUD will not display anything).

You can own up to three cars at any one time, each with its own ranking based on win/loss.

Race on any of thee nine tracks; the oval track - all right turns, or one of the two drag strips. Test your skills on our challenge track racing in the opposite direction of your competition.

The race start menu system has been simplified for easy start up and enjoyment of the player. Simply buy a car, select it in your stock room and off you go..

While you’re racing, load up the custom music player. You can listen to custom music by Devon Perry and Jamie Hunerdosse.
