La creazione del nuovo Studio 397 per lo sviluppo di rFactor 2 ha creato parecchia agitazione negli animi dei fans ISI. La nuova intervista fatta da Pitlanes a Marcel Offermans di Studio 397 è quindi decisamente utile a chiarire ulteriormente alcuni concetti, nell'attesa del prossimo update del simulatore previsto in arrivo entro l'anno tramite Steam. Fra le questioni chiarite, il fatto che i nuovi contenuti arriveranno a parte, massima priorità al supporto DirectX 11 e VR, implementazione dei motori ibridi ed un nuovo sistema per l'acquisto dei contenuti extra.
Will there be DLC’s, maybe including laser scanned tracks? monthly subscription? online cost?
Marcel: We are working on a system for “paid content” that can be leveraged both by the community and ourselves. That will allow us to get more licensed content into the game. We will obviously try to ensure this content is of high quality, so we are considering both laser scanning and leveraging 3D CAD data. As an example of the latter, we are quite proud of Silverstone, which is very accurate and beautifully detailed.
How long until the first release from Studio 397? Will it be content or a core update?
Marcel: The first release is planned for this year and will include a lot of patches and small improvements that have been in development since the last release. This will be the first Steam only update. New content releases are also planned, but we can release those separately.
