Trittico di filmati, quest'oggi, per il gioco di guida fuoristrada Baja: Edge of Control che il publisher THQ e gli sviluppatori 2XL Games hanno ormai avviato alla distribuzione nei negozi, prevista dalle nostre parti a fine mese.

Premesso che per informazioni più approfondite avete a disposizione il sito ufficiale italiano, i tre filmati sono comunque molto interessanti, soprattutto il primo dedicato alle varie classi di veicoli che sarà possibile guidare nel gioco.

Attraverso il blog PlayStation americano, Evolution Studios ha annunciato il completamento di MotorStorm: Pacific Rift la cui demo sarà concessa in anteprima a chi prenota il gioco negli USA o viene selezionato in Europa secondo il proprio account PlayStation Network.

La stessa demo arriverà nelle prossime settimane sempre sulla rete PSN per tutti i meno privilegiati offrendo una pista ispirata alla demo del primo MotorStorm e la modalità multiplayer via schermo diviso. Il gioco completo è invece atteso a fine ottobre (il 28) negli Stati Uniti mentre ancora restano da confermare le precise date europee.

Questo è davvero un annuncio notevole per gli appassionati di simracing: sarà infatti disponibile a breve nel iRacing di Kaemmer la mitica, affascinante e stupenda Lotus 79 di Formula 1 ! Commenti sul forum.

Vintage racers, Grand Prix Legends veterans, F1 fans and anyone who ever wanted to know what it would be like to be Mario Andretti: rejoice! We are very pleased to announce the first vintage racing machinery to be added to the iRacing stable will be the black and gold John Player Special Lotus 79 that carried Mario to the 1978 Formula One World Drivers Championship.

This famous and significant vehicle ushered in the ground-effects era, and through Clive Chapman, managing director of Classic Team Lotus and son of Lotus founder Colin Chapman, we've arranged a license to produce an exacting virtual version of the car. With the generous assistance of vintage racer and Lotus 79 owner Joel Finn, our team has already scanned the car, and the production process has begun.

Our connection with Mr. Finn comes courtesy of iRacing director of partnerships Divina Galica, who drove his 79 at Watkins Glen recently - and that was not Divi's first encounter with this landmark machine. To read more about the 79 (and Divi's history with this groundbreaking racecar), please visit the news section.

La software house polacca Easy Company ha annunciato l'arrivo per il prossimo mese di ottobre del nuovo Motorm4x Offroad Extreme. Qui di seguito il comunicato stampa con alcune immagini.

The core development team at The Easy Company, a Prague-based studio, previously held lead-positions at Illusion Softworks where they made significant contributions to a number of record-breaking hit titles including Hidden & Dangerous 1 and 2 and Mafia.

The Easy Company have been working behind closed doors on its debut title for the past 14 months, an all-terrain off-road racer entitled Motorm4x for the PC.

Motorm4x is a game with a different and original concept, especially when talking about racing games. The big thing about it is that it does not look and work just like an ordinary racing game. This game is about you and your car, it is about driving. Driving just where and when you want. The structure of racing events is partially non-linear, and although there are still some „line making events“, the overall feeling of it is that player has a complete freedom of choice, which we think is quite important for an off-raod game. Would you like to take a free ride across the country? No problem – just select a vehicle you like or can afford and you are ready to go. If you prefer green alpine pastures and forests, ice cold plains of Arctic Circle, or rocky steeps full of red sand, this game is just the right choice for you. It is all here, waiting for your skills to explore and conquer.

Features :

Motorm4x is currently scheduled for release in October 2008.

Potete ammirare a questo indirizzo i primi 5 screenshots di anteprima che ci mostrano in azione il nuovissimo FUEL targato Codemasters e sviluppato dal team Asobo Studios.

Fresh from its GC Leipzig introduction, Codemasters today released the first pre-alpha screenshots from FUEL, the forthcoming title from Asobo Studios that's set to deliver the largest environment ever created in multi-terrain race gaming.

#CONTINUE#

Coming in 2009, FUEL will present players with an astonishing no-boundaries playfield that’s over 5,000 square miles (14,000+ km²) in size. The creation of Bordeaux-based Asobo Studios, FUEL is powered by a cutting-edge proprietary engine, the result of over four years development, that will deliver the ultimate competitive go-anywhere racing experience.

FUEL will have players competing across wildly different terrain and executing spectacular death-defying stunts as they race dozens of varied two and four-wheeled rides and explore this epic world on an unprecedented scale. FUEL is set in an alternate present in which whole swathes of the globe have been ravaged by the effects of climate change brought on by decades of environmental abuse. Bringing this vast, open ended landscape to life is a dynamic weather system with full day and night transitions, brilliant sunshine, torrential rain and everything in between, plus destructive tornados, sandstorms, thunderstorms, lightning strikes, and blizzards requiring mid-race strategy changes.

Complete with the ability to go online to explore this massive world and compete in hundreds of multiplayer challenges, FUEL is coming in 2009 for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®, Games For Windows® LIVE.

Il portale italiano di Nextgame ha pubblicato la propria recensione del recente Flatout Ultimate Carnage in versione PC: soprattutto se amate gli spettacolari crash, il titolo Bugbear fa proprio al caso vostro.

Eppure questa corsa alla distruzione continua funziona anche su PC grazie allo spettacolare motore fisico, alle numerose modalità di gioco e a un approccio arcade (ma non privo di difficoltà) che lo rende estremamente giocabile e divertente.
