La Codemasters ci propone oggi un nuovo video diario di sviluppo dedicato al suo prossimo DiRT 4: questa volta sono gli stessi piloti professionisti che hanno collaborato allo sviluppo del gioco a spiegarci tutti i dettagli ed esprimere la loro opinione. Ecco quindi cosa ne pensano Peter Solberg e Kris Meeke.

Con il trailer di anteprima che vedete qui sotto, il team Milestone annuncia la nuova modalità di carriera manageriale presente nel suo prossimo MotoGP 17.

We are happy to announce the Managerial Career, which is set to become one of the most exciting developments of MotoGP™17, the video game dedicated to the 2017 World Championship.
A new challenge is set: after experiencing the thrills of the Championship as a rider, feeling the adrenaline rush of racing on the tracks and becoming the champion, with the new Managerial Career, you will now be able to put yourself in the shoes of the Team Manager and take decisions that will determine the success of your team in the World Championship.

The meticulous, hard work of the talented people who have committed effortlessly to create a championship team lies behind the pit wall; the choices of a Team Manager are critical to the success of a champion, starting with the management of resources in order to create a winning team and to motivate young riders towards attaining the title! Each victory accomplished at the race weekends will increase your reputation and make you earn new credits, enhancing the riders’ performance at the same time.

The Team Manager will lead every aspect of the team like a deus ex machina, including:
• Sponsors: as the reputation of your team grows victory after victory, you will be able to increase your visibility and receive offers from the Championship’s official sponsors, allowing you to get new in-game credits.
• Bikes: being competitive means being able to race on high performance bikes and being a Team Manager means you can invest in the best models. Naturally, the more popular your team becomes, the greater your selection will be!
• Riders: one of the main tasks of the debut season will be to choose the best riders for your team; the player, apart from racing with their custom rider, will also need to hire another 5 riders who will compete in all the categories, guided by artificial intelligence. The player will also manage the crew and prepare the riders for each challenge. Managing the activities and costs for both the team and riders will speed your journey to success.
• Team Departments: as the Team Manager, you will oversee the various departments that make up your team, investing resources to improve the growth of the riders and your income after each race. The team consists of more than 10 departments (Nutritionists, Athletic Preparation Team, Sports Management, etc.) and with careful management, players can win the World Championship in three different classes!
• R&D Department: although a team is chiefly made up of people and activities that need to be managed on a daily basis, a good Team Manager will invest in the R&D department so as to always guarantee not only the best bikes but also the best components which will ensure superior performance, race after race!

With the new Managerial Career mode, for the first time ever, you can live the thrill of the MotoGP™ championship in a leading role! The game will be available from the 15th of June 2017 on PS4™, PS4™Pro, Xbox One®, the all-in-one games and entertainment system, and Windows PC/STEAM™.

Mentre prosegue a ritmo sostenuto il beta testing chiuso delle varie versioni del software, il team dell'atteso gRally, simulatore realistico creato dagli appassionati per gli appassionati, ci mostra oggi un nuovo filmato work in progress dedicato alla dinamica delle sospensioni del veicolo.

Ghost Games ed Electronic Arts hanno finalmente annunciato il nuovo Need for Speed, tramite un post sul blog ufficiale. Il nuovo Need for Speed, come già sappiamo, è in sviluppo presso Ghost Games ed arriverà ufficialmente entro il 2017. Non sono ancora note però le piattaforme ed il nome del gioco. Confermata da subito la possibilità di personalizzare la propria auto. "Vi assicuriamo che ci stiamo impegnando per dare uno spazio adeguato alla personalizzazione nella serie. Non scomparirà di certo, anzi giocherà un ruolo fondamentale come sempre, nel prossimo gioco e in seguito", si legge nel sito ufficiale. Presenti anche le forze dell'ordine. "Non c'è niente di meglio che prendere parte a un inseguimento e sentirti le volanti alle calcagna mentre sfrecci per la città. Fuggitivi in testa, poliziotti che inseguono, e poi all'improvviso BAM! Un mega autoblindo spunta dal nulla e si butta nella mischia. Che ne dici?". Infine, nel prossimo Need for Speed verrà rimosso l'obbligo di giocare sempre online. Maggiori dettagli sul gioco verranno svelati durante l'EA Play 2017, che si terrà in concomitanza con l'E3 2017.

Ciao a tutti, abbiamo pensato di passare e parlare un po' di un argomento che sappiamo essere una passione vostra quanto nostra: il prossimo Need for Speed.
A questo punto molti di voi avranno sentito dire che qui a Ghost Games stiamo sviluppando un nuovo titolo. Siamo felici di annunciare che entro la fine del 2017 potrete godervi il nuovo Need for Speed.
Avremo molti più dettagli da condividere con l'avvicinarsi di EA PLAY a giugno. Nel frattempo, possiamo offrire qualche informazione su diversi aspetti di Need for Speed; che cosa significano per voi, per noi come sviluppatori e per la serie nel suo complesso.

Prima di tutto, vogliamo ringraziarvi. Quando abbiamo lanciato il reboot nel 2015, siamo rimasti colpiti dalla quantità di feedback che ci avete fornito. La vostra passione per Need for Speed era chiarissima ed è in gran parte grazie a questo che oggi siamo ancora qui.
La personalizzazione... Noi l'amiamo, voi l'amate, tutti l'amano. Come si fa a non amarla? Vi assicuriamo che ci stiamo impegnando per dare uno spazio adeguato alla personalizzazione nella serie. Non scomparirà di certo, anzi giocherà un ruolo fondamentale come sempre, nel prossimo gioco e in seguito.

Ora parliamo un po' dei poliziotti. Non c'è niente di meglio che prendere parte a un inseguimento e sentirti le volanti alle calcagna mentre sfrecci per la città. Fuggitivi in testa, poliziotti che inseguono, e poi all'improvviso BAM! Un mega autoblindo spunta dal nulla e si butta nella mischia. Che ne dici?
Che tu stia ammirando il mezzo che hai appena finito di personalizzare o gareggiando in un evento tra i canyon, avrai bisogno di un mondo non solo bello da vedere, ma che ti offre lo spazio in cui fare ciò che ti piace. Ci metteremo ancora più azione e ti daremo la possibilità di divorare tutto l'asfalto (o lo sterrato) che vuoi.

Supera la curva con una derapata da bruciare le gomme, dai gas e lanciati in un balzo epico per sfuggire agli sbirri. Noi costruiamo il mondo, ma quello che fai tu in quel mondo è l'aspetto più emozionante per noi.
Chiudiamo con una delle questioni più discusse del titolo precedente: la necessità di essere online per giocare. È un punto che vi sta incredibilmente a cuore. Quando un argomento attira così tanta attenzione e feedback, non possiamo non prendere nota.

Quindi, quando arriverà il giorno dell'uscita del prossimo Need for Speed, potrete giocare in un'esperienza a giocatore singolo completamente offline. Prima che lo chiediate, questo significa che potrete mettere il gioco in pausa.
Need for Speed ha una storia affascinante e noi di Ghost ci sentiamo onorati per avere il privilegio di portarla avanti. A prestissimo.

Ad un futuro radioso, insieme.
- Ghost
