World of Speed: Free arcade racer from Slightly Mad Studios

[RobikV3]

So if theres many unskilled player in games that do require skills, how is going to community look in this game?? :mhmm:

[Ryzza5]

so you'll get points by trading paint? what a way to solve multiplayer annoyance

 

Makes you wonder why anyone bought Blur on that basis :hmmm: :p

 

[Ozzmcom]

I don't think I've ever had any fun racing online. Cruising = great, but no one knows how to race.

[Eudemon]

Blur was Mario Kart with real cars essentially. Interesting direction they are going with this title for sure.

[Ryzza5]

We had a few good (made-up) races in TDU1.

I think we also had some good tournaments in Race 07 back in the day too.

And you've been wondering why we've referencing you as an old git lately. :lol:

[Ryzza5]

Well played sir

 

 

I mean not sir, erm, buddy, uhh mate, hombrè, pal, :panic:

[Eudemon]

Gather round children an old man is talking!

[Ryzza5]

 

I think they like it :umm:

SMS has been steadily letting out some info about this game recently. Today, they're showing us how you can customize rice your Evo, Mégane or Camaro. And in addition this, people can now sign up for a closed beta!

 

[Ryzza5]

Didn't we sign up for one ages ago? Ian was trying to get all the WMD members access to it as well.

[The Compensator]

I have no idea.

What did I sign up for, then?

[Ryzza5]

I dunno... maybe try sending an email to mau92@ my.com and see if it bounces or not :)

Reminds me of the NFS Underground 1 opening movie :cheeese:

[Ryzza5]

new video for gamescom

 

 

 

I'll give it a go but it's not exactly my cup of Irn Bru, and I'm expecting most of the online players/audience to be a bit frustrating

[The Compensator]

Frustrating you say? :mhmm:

[Ryzza5]

It's a nicer way of saying your user title for example ;)

[mau92]

Looks like fun and we'll get a cockpit camera (it seems). Bad thing is that it's going to be a P2W

[The Compensator]

Hey :bdown:

[Ryzza5]

Well I assume you picked it... (and I'm using it to describe most of the randoms I expect to end up racing on a free game)

[The Compensator]

Do you really think it's gonna be that bad because it is free? Maybe yes because I'll find you and will keep crashing into you. If the 'frustrating' kids won't bump to me first. :p

 

Since it is made by SMS, what do people people think about it on WMD forums? Just being curious.

[Ryzza5]

Well the contract to make this game gave SMS more money and car licenses to put into Project CARS... so we're pretty supportive of it. Most people are mature enough to know that there is a market for both sim and arcade racing games :)

 

My earlier comments were generally based on my limited experience playing NFS World when it first came out.

[Ryzza5]

Shut up and take calsters money!

 

[CLR-GTR]

And what exactly was the difference again between World of Speed and pCars? It might be because I'm not following these games but my current impression is ''why not merge the content, the games look the same anyway...''. Is it less simulatorish for a wider audience? Is the freeware/payware concept different? Is it less demanding on systems?

 

No kicking at the jewels, just a question of simple interest.
