Test Drive Unlimited della Atari. Eccovene un breve estratto:

How do you think Test Drive Unlimited will differentiate

itself from the other racing games on the market?
Ahmed

Boukhelifa: The first and foremost differentiator is in the online

play - no other racing game out there today allows you to race online like

this. There are other aspects of the game that completely set this game apart as

well – no other game has ever offered over 1,000 miles of completely

replicated roads; we have recreated the entire island of Oahu...

At the heart of the M400 is the 3.0-litre, 24-valve V6 engine that can be found in the current M12 range. However, power has increased by 21 percent to 425bhp and torque has increased by 11 percent to 390 lb per foot. Drive this baby at top speeds of 170 mph and get it started to 60 mph in 3.7seconds.

La Ubisoft, mostrando già i primi 8 screenshots di anteprima, ha annunciato il nuovo Import Tuner Challenge, ennesimo titolo dedicato al tuning in arrivo per fine 2006 sulla console XBox360.

#CONTINUE#

Players can customize and race licensed import sports cars using real tuner parts and tuning techniques. More than five million combinations are possible in customizing a car's interior, exterior and engine.

"Import Tuner Challenge brings unprecedented car customization and speed to the racing genre," said Jay Cohen, vice president of publishing at Ubisoft. "The game offers more tuning possibilities than any other street-racing game to date on Xbox 360 and will submerge players into Tokyo's thrilling underground."

Key Features:

Import Tuner Challenge is being developed by Genki of Japan and is scheduled to ship in North America and Europe in Fall 2006.

Subito dopo l'annuncio di un prezzo "aggressivo" per la versione americana di Test Drive Unlimited, i forum della rete (dedicati ai videogiochi) si sono riempiti di utenti europei molto critici (per usare un eufemismo) verso la diversità di trattamento riservata all'Europa.

#CONTINUE#

In America, il gioco costerà infatti meno di 40 Dollari, mentre dalle nostre parti sarà applicato il prezzo pieno (69 Euro circa).

Parlando dalle pagine del sito inglese Eurogamer, portavoci Atari hanno spiegato questa scelta con la diversa quantità di console vendute (e abbonati Xbox Live Gold) negli Stati Uniti e in Europa. Il maggior numero di utenti Xbox 360 permette, negli USA, di correre qualche "rischio" nello scegliere i prezzi, assicurandosi comunque un discreto ritorno economico (un po' come avviene per certe uscite PlayStation 2 europee).

Sempre secondo Atari, ciò non è fattibile al momento sui territori PAL, finchè la base installata non sarà al livello statunitense...

The new game has captured the imagination and interest of the world's biking media with 41 perfectly modelled and physically accurate motorbikes from a who's-who of manufacturers including Ducati, MV Agusta, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki and Triumph, as well as many other rare and exotic machines.

Every aspect of the game has been fanatically engineered to provide the most realistic motorbike experience ever seen on a videogame console or PC. Challenging tracks, superb rider AI, and pure biking passion has been combined to recreate the thrills, speed, and excitement of one of the most exhilarating motor sports in the world.

The game's website at www.super-bikes.blackbeangames.com features news, game information, the bikes, the tracks, and breath-taking trailers of the game in action. Super-Bikes Riding Challenge launches across Europe on PlayStationâ„¢ 2 and PC DVD in September 2006.

SUPER-BIKES RIDING CHALLENGE FEATURES
- Separate control for the bike and rider position delivers the ultimate precision motorcycle racing experience
- Individually modelled, manufacturer approved bikes featuring the same acceleration, weight, balance, cornering ability as in real life
- Persistent opponents – Thanks to its advanced AI, SUPER-BIKES will feature recurring opponents as the player advances through the game. The player will be able to appreciate how they grow in certain skills and become more challenging as the game progresses, much like his own driving.
- Tracks – SUPER-BIKES will feature 3 categories of tracks: Race Tracks (Assen, Laguna Seca, Donington, Hockenheim, Valencia, Albacete), Country (Alpes, Cote d'Azur, Tuscan Hills, Highlands, Corsica, Amalfi Coast) and City (London, Barcellona, Berlin), for a total of more than 30 tracks thanks to the different variants available.
- Wet Conditions – All tracks will feature a wet condition variant that will have the effect of reduced grip in the handling model. This will add a new challenge to each track in the game.
- End-Level Graphics – SUPER-BIKES will benefit from the implementation of amazing audio and visual effects (e.g. real time environmental mapping, particles animations, blurring effects…).
