Con il comunicato stampa che potete leggere integralmente a questo indirizzo, il già mitico iRacing targato Kaemmer annuncia l'importante partnership strategica con la famosa serie americana della NASCAR, prospettando persino un futuro campionato online ufficiale per il 2010...

NASCAR and iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations announced today that the two organizations are joining forces to create a NASCAR-sanctioned online racing series, a new competition division that will be licensed by NASCAR and organized and hosted by iRacing. Beginning early in 2010, NASCAR fans anywhere in the world will be able to log onto the internet and compete against one another, as well as a number of NASCAR drivers, in an official NASCAR series featuring digital duplicates of real-world NASCAR cars and tracks in the most realistic NASCAR racing environment ever created.

Torneranno alla ribalta nel prossimo ed atteso Need for Speed Shift due vecchie conoscenze a quattro ruote della gloriosa saga motoristica targata EA: correte a questo indirizzo per ammirare quattro immagini in alta risoluzione delle bellissime Ford GT e Nissan GTR, oltre ad una Porsche 997 ed una Lotus Elise. Inoltre sembra che la demo del gioco sarà disponibile già in estate, mentre a questo indirizzo trovate una nuova intervista al producer Jesse Abney con qualche screens inedito.

Will we get any special tuning features like a dyno and in-race setting adjustments?
While there is no Dyno feature, Slightly Mad have created by far the most realistic vehicle tuning options. Their passion for professional racing is bringing a commitment to make SHIFT the most authentic racing game in the Need for Speed series to date.

Con il comunicato stampa che trovate qui sotto la THQ ha annunciato il nuovo MX Vs ATV Reflex, titolo previsto per fine anno su tutte le consoles. Particolarità del gioco saranno una fisica dei veicoli sensibile alle deformazioni del terreno e la modalità di controllo che separa il pilota dal mezzo.

Developed by THQ’s award-winning internal studio Rainbow Studios, MX vs. ATV Reflex introduces revolutionary physics that allow for real-world terrain deformation and an intuitive, dual-stick control scheme that separates man from machine. MX vs. ATV Reflex will deliver a wide variety of race modes, vehicles and worlds to explore while utilizing the all-new Rhythm Racing 2.0 physics engine.

“The MX vs. ATV franchise consistently sets the bar for excellence in the racing genre, offering gamers, racing fans and mainstream consumers an immense variety of content and cutting-edge physics,” said Brian Coleman, vice president of global brand management, THQ. “MX vs. ATV Reflex takes the core elements of the franchise to the next level.” “Rhythm Racing 2.0 is the most advanced physics engine Rainbow Studios has ever created, and is an all-inclusive framework that characterizes the essence of MX vs. ATV Reflex,” said Nick Wlodyka, general manager, Rainbow Studios. “We’ve combined the fluid Rider Reflex control system with ever-changing, real-time terrain deformation to create an experience that will immerse gamers in the rhythm of a race like never before.” MX vs. ATV Reflex marks the highly anticipated return of the best-selling off-road racing franchise and features the all-new Rhythm Racing 2.0 physics engine, Rider Reflex control system and real-time terrain deformation.

The Rider Reflex control system provides unparalleled precision and fluidity by separating machine steering from body positioning, which allows the independently controlled rider to shift his weight, perform death-defying stunts and avoid potentially devastating wrecks. Unprecedented terrain deformation creates ever-changing courses as off-road vehicles carve lines and deep ruts that have a real-time impact on gameplay and remain persistent through the full length of each race. MX vs. ATV Reflex is scheduled to release on the Xbox 360, PS3, PSP and NDS in Holiday 2009.
