Ooh now this does look interesting, a sort of oldskool NFS with some aspects of PGR and a sprinkling of DRIVECLUB feel to it. Not sure how the F2P will work out though, may have been an idea to have their sim in Project CARS and their arcade racer with World of Speed. Certainly looks the part though!

[Paladin Skylark]

I am interest.

F2P usually goes wrong in some way or another though..

[RobikV3]

^ This. Though the game looks nice ill give it ago tomorrow and well see.

Can't watch these at work but here's another vid:

 

World Of Speed: A Racing MMO With Grand Ambitions - GameSpot

It's got nitrous. :oook:

 

Just subscribed to the game, anyways.

[mau92]

Is it out? It'll be ending like War Thunder... Pay to win

[Ryzza5]

Looks like it's team-based. So if you crash in the first corner it's not all over because finishing first != winning.

So team-mates have to work out who's drifting, drafting, blocking, wingman-ing, etc to score points???

 

Good to see the snow track not go to waste when they took it out of pCARS.

 

Devs have likened handling to Burnout.

[superhyper]

It does look great, as does pCars, will be interesting to see where this goes. Signed up for the beta :)

[Eudemon]

The team aspect and "action racing" sound so much like what DRIVECLUB is doing, the delay to that game worked in SMS's favour for this. Though there is mutterings that DC will be released when Sony's VR headset is officially shown and announced.

 

Isn't that neon glow/light stream iconic with pCARS though?

[Ryzza5]

Graphics and time-of-day engines are shared, but not the physics

 

More info from a Russian outlet (translated) here: WMD Forum

 

pCARS has (and will continue to) benefited from this project in regards to new car licenses and a boost of funds that otherwise wouldn't have happened.

It was mentioned that the game works well with keyboard, gamepad, and G27 (wheel).

Beta is supposed to open in Spring some time. WMD members *may* possibly get early access as a final QA testing process.

There are 'tens' of tracks, some of which are point to point and may bring back memories of early NFS games.

They should've gone open world .. then perhaps it could have been a new mm2.

[Damys]

should be nice with ...open world with London map , free roaming , livery shop , performance/body kit shop, car dealers..custom garage, avatar etc :drool:

i just read on the forum about a free roaming zone.. i don't know if it big or not ..BTW the screenshots looks awsome

[Ryzza5]

Noice!

 

Yeah it's some sort of 'skate park' type zone that acts a bit like a home base but you can also mess about with friends there. Not expecting it to be massive, but then if you think of those arenas in FH where you could play Tag or Virus, etc they weren't large by any means and were fun.

Umm Nope.avi bro those are two different games

 

I didnt even know such Evo exists

[Kaoclya]

I know they are different games. The meme is about the fact that both games are/will be F2P and they both are arcade style. I understand that I did not use the meme correctly, I was just trying to poke fun at it.

[RobikV3]

And it turns out that I am the muppet
