New Add-on: Codename "Toad"

[Paulo Ribeiro]

Which addon you would like to have in a very short future?

Definitely Dutch Supercar Challenge with the all 4 classes :dance:

WTCC 09 Oh yeah!. but American racing OH! NO!. Simbin went for money there, they know gaming in USA is popular so they want to grab money. But still they also working on Codename Toad so this game can be good component to Codename Toad. I'm dealing with that then. Likely to buy this pack

If this is not Codename Toad

 

[Lewis Fergusson]

Pleased to here we are getting the 09 season and intrigued about the American cars. As long as we aren't talking ovals...

Nothing wrong with wanting a slice of the USA market. More money = More development for PC titles :good:

 

[Andrew Evans]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz more touring cars, like we don't already have enough :weep:

 

[João Andias]

To be honest when I was looking at the training at Curitiba today (1st wtcc09 race), was noticing that most commercial partnerships were still in place. So this doesn’t surprise me...

We can't blame a certain sport TV brand plus other/and wtcc championship promoters to bet repeatedly in a game... it’s a winning formula.

Yes, me too would like a different championship (AMLMS or LMS for instances), but wtcc09 will do fine as it is a championship I can easily see at my doorstep.

I'm just hoping those TDI engines won't just add to the mass rev-out engine mappings we already have in race.

 

[Hayden Walker]

hopefully some japananese road cars or something ???

VirtualR have updated the article since the OP:

Update: Unlike stated stated in the ASS news and quoted by me, Henrik Roos or Simbin have never confirmed that the new title will include content based on the 2009 WTCC season. Seems like something was lost in translation, we still have to wait for more info on the game’s planned content.

Dunno what that means though...

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Lol that means that somebody can't quote

[Rob Every]

D1GP would be a great addition, but I dount they can afford the licence

Seriously they need th upgrase the WTCC cars and put a diesel in there!

Shouldnt be that hard to reskin moist of them.

I am swedish and know the language well. I read the original article in Swedish from a swedish news website. It was an interview mainly about Race Pro for eXbox360, but also some other blurbs.

idg.se: "Do you have other games lined up? You always make a row of PC games each year."

SimBin: "We have a new WTCC-game lined up, for this year's season. It is built on our old game engine. This year's news is that we have a little bit more american circuits and a little bit american muscle cars. This was a request from our american publisher, so it's a bit of a flirt with that market. But USA is difficult, it is hard to sell racing games unless they are driven on cicuits that just go around, around, around."

They are probably talking about the WTCC - The game series. I.e. Race 07 was a WTCC game. Just when talking to this paper, to make it easier for them to understand. I don't think it means it will be a WTCC license.

The muscle cars and tracks does not mean some american muscle car series either. Remember that Nordschleife + muscle cars was already put into GTR Evolution. It's probably just a bit extra stuff on the side (a few more road cars and circuits unattached to any series).

 

[Mikkow]

I read a swedish interview which stated that they will include a few more american muscle cars and american tracks, requested by the publisher. Good to know.

In GTR Evo we got Nordschleife and some muscle/supercars already, so it's probably the same kind of 'bonus content'.

 

[Dave Flower]

Err guys - Look at this thread - if its this or anything even like it I might just be raiding my piggy bank!

I would imagine they would steer towards the American market more. With the Camaro's in STCC, maybe it's a hint of things to come. I know i's a long shot, but could we see something along the lines of stock cars, or some other American racing tier?

Unlikely, because they mentioned that this small addition was the flirt itself. If they were making some real american racing tier, then that little flirt would not have been necessary.

The Camaros in STCC are part of the STCC show. They race during the same weekends and everything. Easy to license and a fun alternative. Don't think they were put especially for the americans.

 

[Bryan Porter]

I hope it's either ALMS or JTCC. I'd prefer ALMS though.

 

[Trebor901]

If its mostly american muscle cars then i probably wont buy it because the current american cars on GTR Evo and Race Pro are rubbish.

 

[Oli Bellamy]

More American circuits? Once you've been round 1 you've been round 'em all. Flipping driving round in circles.

That's nonsense. They have all kinds of race tracks. Ovals are just one type they have. I'll fetch you a list. Here's a list of 43 offical road racing circuits used, with links and all - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_auto_racing_tracks_in_the_United_States#Road_courses

I've raced around a few of them (downloadable for race 07 etc) and seen some on youtube. Every one I've seen and tried was pretty damned good. Mid Ohio is really fun in particular.

Think of USA as a big place with a bit of everything in it.

 

[Michael Gribble]

C'mon now it's not just ovals ya know. What about Road America, Mid-Ohio and Laguna Seca. Those are much better circuits than silly old Silverstone and Donington Park you guys got over there, lol.
