I wouldn't crap my pants just yet but it's Gamestop after all...

 

Thoughts? :hmmm:

[iNotACactus]

Oldsauce. :lol:

[superhyper]

Nobody ever mentioned it here (atleast I've never heard about it) and I've been so wise that I've avoided TDU2 forums :cheeky:

 

But yeah, whatever they're doing, I'm not having too high expectations :lol:

[T1M]

:hmmm: Thats if they are doing anything. Maybe we'll here something by 2020.

 

And yeah, my expectations would be very low indeed. :p

:rofl2:

:hmmm: Thats if they are doing anything.

 

You know, drinking tea and ruining games does count as doing something :hmmm:

[iNotACactus]

My sig sums up what they're doing rather perfectly.

Not sure.:hmmm: Maybe you should ask him?

[Flo]

im tired already

 

just wanted to let you know, it's been on there for a while. it could be true, but i highly doubt it.

[superhyper]

Yes, and I wanna let people (like me, who hadn't heard of this before) know too :p

 

And yes, I highly doubt this too, and even if it was real, we all know how it'd end up being like.

Test Drive Ferrari Announced! Sim Racing News

 

This happened to catch my eye :whistle:

[The Compensator]

Aw god, they've just woke up!

[superhyper]

I'm just happy that Eden isn't making this one :hmmm:

[The Compensator]

Wait. What is Bigben Interactive? Why isn't Eden making it, as it is Test Drive series? :confused:

[Eudemon]

Search a few places and you see bigben being mentioned as the Publisher and Slightly Mad Studios (SMS) as the developer. Now what's interesting about this is SMS when they were Blimey! Games were making a game all about Ferrari and was dubbed the 'Ferrari Project' and in fact the engine it used was the underpinnings of what became NFS Shift. Now before you gag note that SMS had a physics engine ready to go and is well known for it's simulation and handling in it's previous games that most of it's team worked on with the GTR series of games.

 

Now consider their C.A.R.S project which is a Community funded project and you can if this news is true see the possibility that this could bring in that the ill-fated 'Ferrari Project' has become Test Drive: Ferrari and that it will not only have great sim aspects but also cater to the Shift crowd also in it's pick up and crash ways.

 

This is all just conjecture and hopefully more news is forthcoming in the not too distant future but if SMS are actually doing this then it could be very good indeed!!

 

It raises the question of who owns the TEST DRIVE license though and if Atari have sold it or are sub-licensing it to others for a cut of the profits.

 

'Ferrari Project' from 2008

[ScoobSTi]

:eek: That was supposed to be TDU2?

 

Edit: I'm in a hurry to go somewhere, so correct me. :cheeky:

[Eudemon]

LOL no that was SMS's 'Ferrari Project' from 2008 that they were working on. It is minimally possible that if it's true that SMS are developing this game, that their dormant 'Ferrari Project' has in fact become the new Test Drive: Ferrari that we are now officially hearing about. It's also completely possible that TD:Ferrari is a simple remake or arcade style game.

[Leadfoot[YT]]

Interesting, at least mildly. We can only hope (if it is indeed real) that SMS uses an original physics engine.

 

-Leadfoot

[superhyper]

I actually remember reading about that one back in the day :hmmm:

 

I wonder how much this'll affect TDU2, I wonder if they'll finally tell us that it's officially dead.

[ScoobSTi]

So, no TDU3.

[Paladin Skylark]

So, no TDU3.

 

LOLOLOLOL - this might have to be a sig quote....

[Eudemon]

Might depend on how TD:Fur Harry does.

[The Compensator]

Hmm. Not bad actually :hmmm:
