Test RACE 07

Mikkel · Jun 15, 2007

I found it interesting enough to post here despite the language barrier. Sorry to those who don't have a clue what it says, but hopefully some of you Swedes here can translate for the rest ? Otherwise I'm sure an English version will be released soon.

SimBin och Telia gör rekordförsök med live-betatest på DreamHack

Under DreamHack Summer 07 kommer alla besökare kunna delta i ett betatest av racingspelet RACE 07 - The WTCC Game. Testet, förmodligen det största i sitt slag i världen, är ett genrep inför det svenska virtuella bilracingmästerskapet ”Virtual Grand Prix” i höst.

Intresserade virtuella testförare kan på Dreamhack gå in på www.VGP.se, ladda ned betademon för RACE 07, bygga sin profil och ställa in bilen för att sedan köra ut på banan och spela online mot andra spelare.

De spelare som presterar de snabbaste varven, hot laps, under DreamHackdagarna kvalificerar sig till finalerna under avslutningskvällen 18 juni. Vinnarna premieras på Stora Scenen av Alx Danielsson, Sveriges främste racingtalang och Formel 1-hopp som för övrigt också medverkat i utvecklingen av RACE 07.

”Vi tycker det är enormt spännande att kunna använda DreamHack till att testa VGP-demot som baseras på vårt kommande spel RACE 07, och så vitt vi vet är detta det största ”on site”-betatestet av sitt slag i världen” säger Henrik Roos, VD för SimBin.

Betatestet på Dreamhack utgör också ett genrep för Virtual Grand Prix, VGP, ett svenskt stormästerskap i virtuell bilracing som sponsras av Telia och som avgörs i höst på www.VGP.se. VGP stöds av Svenska Bilsportförbundet och de första officiella kvalen kommer att äga rum under sommaren.

Alla eventuella fel DreamHacks betatestare hittar kommer att kunna meddelas genom ett rapporteringsverktyg eller direkt till SimBins spelutvecklare i teamet bakom RACE 07, som arbetar på plats i montern på DreamHack.

Hetfield please watch your language mate.. Having discussions is ok but the tone is .... ehm... not nice.

I've had a very quick try out. It looks very good, runs very smoothly, and sounds seem to be much improved.
Couple of things that I didn't like so far.
1. Couldn't get the virtual mirrors to look correct, very dark, Couldn't get one in the centre (for hood view), and size was very small.
2. Every time I delete a replay file in game, it immediately returns to the previous menu. In the current RACE06, you can delete replays without having to reload the menu again. Bit annoying.

Guess it's early days yet for things like that, but it looks very promising.

I think that the curbs in Brands Hatch are lovered compared to RACE 06. Graphics in general seems little sharper.

peace,
Jari
