E' disponibile per il mitico Grand Prix Legends dei Papyrus la nuova versione aggiornata 1.1 dell'imperdibile utility denominata Pribluda: si tratta in pratica di un programmino che installa nel simulatore numerose funzioni complete di telemetria e live timing.

I'm pleased to announce the release of a new version of Pribluda, the live-timing and telemetry addon for GPL. There are many, many new configuration options, as well as a dashboard display, improved tyre condition colour coding, a native Linux port (by Peterri Pajunen) and more.

There is a full changelog on the website and in the readme. There are a couple of things that are worth stressing: Firstly, if you already use pribluda your ini file will no longer work properly, please use the one in the zip to start with, and modify that to your liking. (This includes anyone that may have beta tested an earlier version for me - thanks guys!). Secondly, as always, make sure you backup any existing pribluda.dll or pribluda.ini files before you change or overwrite them - just in case your experience problems with this version.

Dopo lunga attesa, è finalmente arrivata la conferma ufficiale comprensiva di data: il "nuovo" Flatout Ultimate Carnage, già titolo XBox360, arriverà anche su PC a partire dal prossimo giugno 2008.

FlatOut Ultimate Carnage is rebuilt from the ground up and specifically developed to take advantage of the additional feature sets and improved processing ability to produce an entirely new, breathtaking FlatOut experience.

While simulation racers have traditionally found their home on PCs, FlatOut Ultimate Carnage blurs the line between arcade and simulation. PC gamers can have a ``deathproof'' experience with Carnage gameplay modes and enhanced graphics that rival the Xbox 360 version. Multiplayer online provides wheel-to-wheel action as opponents try to fishtail other cars and get across the finish line in a ``no holds barred'' extreme driving smash fest.

``Research suggests that arcade racers are becoming ever more popular on the PC, with the Xbox 360 controller providing the perfect way to enjoy the genre,'' said Ian Higgins, CEO of Empire Interactive. ``Ultimate Carnage is an entirely new prospect for PC, and we're excited to be bringing FlatOut's unique gameplay experience to PC gamers everywhere.''

Clive Kabatznik, CEO of Silverstar Holdings said, ``The FlatOut series has been a global success story for Empire. With more than 2 million unit sales globally, the FlatOut franchise is an important part of our game portfolio and we are confident FlatOut Ultimate Carnage for PC will add to our ongoing success and bring new fans to the title.''

Jussi Laakkonen, business development director of Bugbear Entertainment, noted, ``Since announcing the Xbox 360 release we've witnessed fanatical anticipation and demand for FlatOut Ultimate Carnage on PC. It gives us great pleasure to bring this mayhem to the PC, for which FlatOut fans across the globe have long been clamouring!''

`FlatOut Ultimate Carnage'' is being prepared for a June 2008 worldwide release.

Come segnalato questo pomeriggio, i test sulla patch 1.0.2.0 sono ora terminati e la stessa è disponibile per il download via Steam. Diversi i bug fixati, con la speranza di riportare l'esperienza di gioco online a livelli accettabili anche per chi riscontrava problemi con il precedente update.
