In attesa del convertitore files P3D - Z3D ormai imminente, vi segnalo la disponibilità di due nuove e comode utility per Toca Race Driver:

Si avvicina sempre di più il rilascio della versione definitiva a pagamento (costerà circa €17), denominata S1, dell'ottimo Live for Speed: è apparso oggi sul sito ufficiale un comunicato degli sviluppatori che annunciano l'imminente rilascio di una nuova patch E per la versione beta del gioco e l'inserimento di nuove features nella release completa, per la quale è già attiva la possibilità di pre-ordine via internet. Pubblicate inoltre due nuove immagini in game. #CONTINUE#

Monday 19th May : I'm nearly finished with some needed improvements to the single player replays so that they are of unlimited length and now allow me to improve the AI drivers at any time without invalidating old videos, they are a new replay type called SPR and replace the old GST replays, extra-important now for the two long track configurations that will be in the S1 release. There are some minor improvements to make to the car files as well then this week I'll be doing the licensed racer authentication system. This will be followed by the coding of the track and car unlocking system. Eric is finishing a car interior and has some texturing left to do on another car, some other car adjustments and filling a few remaining holes in the tracks. Finally we will give it some thorough testing and making sure the default setups are quite driveable and fixing some final bugs before release. We ask you to be patient with us on that as we mustn't rush anything, remember we probably want it out even more than you do!! We will let you know what's left to do as we get closer to the release. Allow extra time for difficulties that emerge on the way and our inevitable temptation to add a few new features. There will be an E patch released during these final stages.

Abbiamo parlato pochi secondi fa di Gran Tursimo 4 e del nuovo volante creato appositamente per questo gioco da Logitech. Ora, perché non dare uno sguardo a questo titolo in movimento? Bene, avete capito. Ecco a voi 11 nuovi filmati che arrivano direttamente dall'E³; Buona visione:

Direttamente dall'E3 di Los Angeles, arrivano nuove informazioni riguardanti il prossimo Xpand Rally della software house polacca Techland, che dovrebbe essere disponibile verso la fine del 2003:

Xpand Rally is based on the real-life (and partially illegal) Xpand Rally Championship, which was created by a group of car owners who were unable to get their own professional rally licenses. The game will feature more than 30 different real-life cars, each of which has its own handling and performance characteristics.

La Codemasters ha rilasciato nuove immagini del prossimo IndyCar Series, che mostrano anche l'abitacolo: potete ammirarle tutte a questo link.

Si tratta di una foto? Guardatela bene. Non vi pare? No, non scherziamo, si tratta di un'immagine tratta da Gran Turismo 4, presentato in questi giorni all' E³ nota fiera dedicata al mondo dei videogames. Per "sfamare" la nostra voglia di notizie riguardanti questo atteso titolo, Boomtown, ci propone una preview, dalla quale si evince che sarà implementato (ora è confermato) il gioco in rete: #CONTINUE#

Before somebody called a couple of Men in Black to remove me from the PS2 so that other people could have a go, I tried the multiplayer portion. Racing against three people at first and then four, I couldn?t help to notice that the other cars stuttered a bit when I got close to them, or they got close to me in the rear mirror. This however didn?t matter gameplay-wise and were not nearly as annoying as in other racing games? multiplayer portions.

Per leggere tutta la preview visitate questa pagina su Boomtown.

Il sito di Blackhole Motorsports ha pubblicato una interessante intervista a Leo Cubbin, Development Manager del prossimo IndyCar Series della Codemasters:

BHMS: What are the 6 classic Indy 500 cars to be included, and will they have different physics, or just different bodies and paintjobs? From which era are they and will we be able to race them against today's cars or will this be a separate historical race?

Leo Cubbin: As with most games, some of the original design ideas never make it into the final game. Unfortunately the classic Indy 500 cars never made it this time, but who knows, perhaps in the future...
