Codemasters buys Slightly Mad Studios...

Apperently RD needs these kind of game promotion to survive.
If so i would advice RD to have a look at all race games titles in the Steam library and start to promote everything that calls itself a racegame. Lets start with Rocket League

What the hell is this type of stuff doing on this site? I thought RD was about Racing/Driving simulation? Will have to give my premium membership some thought come renewal time. I pay to support this site Paul because i download a lot of stuff off it, I like to do my bit, Shame others don't but if it's resorting to this crap for a bit of news i'm out mate, Cheers.

Keep an open mind Boby Kim and Blot... May not be your cup of tea, but if not, then just skip the treads containing it, and let others enjoy... After all, it IS the holiday season... the time of love and good spirit, right?

Happy new year guys.

 

[blot]

Happy new year to you Ole and everyone on RD, Nah can do without news about this kind of stuff, Hoping Chobonator will chip in, I love his avatar!!

I think the only people that will be happy about this are the facebook forza converters.

While it might be a question worth thinking whether games like these belong to this site there is nothing new that we get the occasional news about these games. For example here are some others:

Need for Speed Heat Now Available

The much anticipated new entry into the Need for Speed franchise is now available to buy - welcome to the world of Need for Speed Heat. Now based in the visually stunning Palm City, a fantasy location where players will enact the story of your lead character as they look to progress through...

Monster Jam | New Update Available Now

A brand new update for Monster Jam Steel Titans is now available to download. I'm going to be honest here, I don't play the game and I'm pretty confused about the rather obscure and confusing information available, but if after performing my best Sherlock Holmes routine I'm nearly half right...

www.racedepartment.com

Personally I am not against this practice as long as the news article has something important in it. Release dates, car and track lists, release plans, patch releases, dlc releases and release trailers are fine. I don't see preview images being that tho. Nor random youtuber videos where everything is "amaizing". If you want to be really anal about it the site name is racedepartment, not simdepartment.

It's just a bit of news, it's not like RD had to decide between this bit of news and a bit of news about iRacing, it's a slow time of year for sim news.

I don't have any interest in the game, but as a member of the PC master race I do enjoy looking down my nose at it and making disparaging remarks about the kind of console peasant it will appeal too.

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

Gentlemen, why the hate? We've always covered these kind of games in small doses, and if it's not for you... skip the article

I'll admit I've got less than zero interest in this type of game, and as such writing it excites me not one iota... but, we are a site dedicated to all kinds of driving and racing games. Remember, this sort if title may just spark an interest in sim racing from someone who previously hadn't considered it after reading about it here, or playing the game and getting engaged with virtual cars.

As for the laughable comment about RD 'needing this type of thing to survive'.. I'm just trying to satisfy as broad of an audience as I can here. If anyone thinks specific articles attract higher numbers of visitors, they are mistaken!

If it was left to my own personal preferences, I'd write about just rF2 and ACC, with the occasional bit about historic touring cars... but I try and perform a service to the wider community, at precisely zero benefit to myself, because I love what we do here and want to share my passion with folks who enjoy it too.

So after that rant (written on my phone while trying to enjoy a meal out with my family), please just chill the heck out... don't like the subject of an article, don't read it.. simple. Leave that space for those that do, and move on to something that interests you. It's not like I wrote this (in a particularly slow month for news) at the cost of another more "sim" news piece. Heck, I've had this one saved for a while in the editorial section for just this kind of occasion - very little news to write about and out all day in the sales so away from the laptop...

Relax folks, have a nice festive break and be merry!!
