A circa un mese dall'arrivo nei negozi, Forza Motorsport 2 è già pronto con tutto il necessario per quanto riguarda pubblicità e spot TV. Un esempio arriva dal video che trovate a questo link e dal nuovo sito ufficiale dedicato ai soli utenti broadband.

La home page, in particolare, offre una serie di caratteristiche come mini-video dedicati ai percorsi e alla customizzazione delle auto, insieme alla possibilità di personalizzare gli sfondi per il desktop che potremo successivamente scaricare su PC. Non è ancora stato fissato, invece, l'esordio della demo giocabile che si pensava dovesse uscire questa settimana.

Attraverso il sito francese Gamekult, THQ ha confermato che non intende pubblicare GTR in versione Xbox 360 e che i diritti sul gioco sono attualmente "nel limbo". Per contro, il team di sviluppo SimBin è ancora al lavoro sul codice e probabilmente cercherà un altro publisher nei mesi a venire.

Annunciato esattamente un anno fa sulla console di casa Microsoft, GTR era per molti utenti console un possibile sogno realizzato viste le affermazioni della serie su PC, dove rappresenta il non-plus-ultra nelle simulazioni di guida. Ovviamente, c'è da sperare che un altro produttore acquisti i diritti sul gioco (o, a questo punto, sul seguito) prima che diventi sorpassato in confronto a titoli più moderni. Commenti sul forum.

La Nadeo ha finalmente comunicato la data ufficiale di uscita del prossimo Trackmania United: il gioco sarà disponibile a partire dal 11 giugno 2007.

TrackMania United represents what Nadeo wanted to do from the beginning with his vision of TrackMania. Functionnalities such as the management of solo scores, the possibility to combine the different environments in one game and highly technological graphics adapting to every computer.

#CONTINUE#

Add to this all the tools developed until now for TrackMania: the MediaTracker, which allows to create introductions, cinematic sequences ands spectacular replays for the races, the integration of musics, pictures and videos to further enrich your tracks, the model importer to replace your vehicle by other ones, the Painter to paint to your will the cars from TrackMania or the ones you imported, the integrated Peer2Peer network to exchange all your creations, the dedicated server, etc.

Finally, a new dimension will appear with TrackMania United. The first TrackMania was created for the fun, the second one for the sensations, the third one for the sport. This fourth TrackMania, although the fusion of the first three, will add a new dimension to the racing, the creation and the sharing: it will be Existential.

What is an Existential game? It's mostly a pretty pretentious term that could have resulted from a marketing brainstorming session gone wrong. Let's say a game that is not Existential is the same as a book that is not read. By playing TrackMania United, your action will exist, you will exist. You will have a ranking on every track in your God's forsaken place at the end of the world. Your creations will be rated by the players. You will receive news about the oncoming competitions, to compete or to watch. You will see the most famous players of the worlds, the Mania Stars, the ranking of your team in your department... Wether you are in contact with other players or not, your actions will have an impact on the TrackMania world, and you will have a reaction from them.

Anyway, all this is bla bla, we will do some incomprehensible nonsensical stuff that will not necessary give anything worthwhile anyway. But we are going forward, exploring new possibilities, and we are sure we will find new rock solid concepts with the most constructive community ever.
