A BTCC Game In The Works?

[WPxNJ]

The USA had a TOCA 2.5 version known as Jarrett and Labonte Stock Car Racing.

It was the most racing fun I had on a console. In 2001. Exploding windshields, hoods flying open, and buzzing AI, with retaliation never seen before.

Better Kunos or Reiza? The ''ELITE" Simulator developers...

Yes? Kunos creates the best content for simracing at this moment in my opinion, Assetto Corsa is the best platform for modding right now (IMO ofc), ACC has the best physic simulation on the market and FFB in both AC titles is close to ideal. And as I think Reiza should not make this game (and it's obvious that they aren't involved with their budget and fresh title already released), they proved to understand community far better than Codemasters and Slightly Mad Studios. They also don't feel need to sell cars and tracks one by one while demanding constant connection to RaceNet. And keep in mind that I am great fan of Tocas and first GRiD as well as CMR series with DR and DR 2.0 included.

2+2=?

• Video from March:
  
• According to some sources, Dan Cammish is instigating, who's the one who's been working with Raceroom on the above
• Some guys from Sector3 (or related to them with the last name 'Speed') set up a company called SimbinUK
• Raceroom posted some Unreal shots a while back

that would be a big yes if Sim Racing title

 

[Patrik Marek]

something that's build on AC engine, with the updates from Xfab and SOL, and now we're talking
but if they want to sell in massive numbers, to offset the costs of licenses , it does have to be tailored bit more towards regular race driving enthusiast I'm afraid

which is fine by me

if this was pure Acrade, I would prefer EA over codemasters, unless it goes to the F1 codemasters team
the latest Grid wasn't great for the driving feel, the Need For Speed, while still arcade, felt much more believable in how the car behaves

 

[darrenporter]

Well Codemasters would make sense, they just bought out Slightly Mad Studios too. Codemasters do actually make good driving games, and TOCA years ago was great, they just need to be a little more less family friendly and with Slightly mad, might actually be a good mix..

Maybe we've all been hoodwinked and this is going to be the new GTR3 but not GTR3 and is btcc instead

BRING IT ON

 

[museumsteve]

I'm excited...it's been a very long wait

 

[Philip Antonia]

I'm not confident the developer will take it as seriously as most of us would like, but lets keep our fingers crossed!!

 

[Stuntman Daz]

Paul Coleman is involved so that's at least a glimmer of hope

 

[David Wright]

So Codies stuck to their guns about the game not being viable. Interesting that ex-Codies employees are taking it on. Given its a next gen title it seems unlikely it will use the NASCAR Heat engine but who knows. Will definitely be one to watch.
