Como vem no VirtualR, um excerto de uma newsletter da simbin:
We have secured licenses for a couple of highly requested series and we think our next scheduled title will come as a big happy surprise to all racers around the world.
The release which is scheduled for release 2009, should lock into the new GTR Evolution base the same way as STCC does, meaning rules, cars, tracks and features specific to this new series will instantly become available in GTR Evo and STCC if you also own those.
O resto da noticia do VirtualR:
ArrayThis answers a few questions and leaves some open. We do know that the new title will be working along with GTR Evolution, which is a good thing for sure. That also confirms that this new title will not use the Lizard engine but stick with the proven gMotor base.
The most interesting thing is which highly requested series the simulation will be about. As I see it, the current racing game video market does not leave too much options as most popular licenses are currently taken. Just from the top of my head:
Formula One - Codemasters
NASCAR - Electronic Arts
FIA GT/ WTCC / STCC - Simbin
DTM - Codemasters (unused though)
Major series which are not tied to any top tier developer/publisher include Le Mans/Le Mans Series/American Le Mans Series, Grand Am, IRL, GP2, A1GP, World Series by Renault & WRC.
Since Rallying is not really supported by the gMotor engine, we will probably end up with an open-wheel or sports car racing series game. A Le Mans-based simulation would require a tremendous amount of work though as sports car grids include plenty of different car models. Furthermore, the gMotor engine as used in GTR Evolution isnt really suited to endurance racing either, missing night racing completely.
My pick would be that the new game will feature some sort of open wheel racing, a genre in which Simbin has already successfully proven themselves with the excellent Formula 3000 in RACE07.[/quote]
Apostas sobre qual será a licença? :rolleyes:
