World of Speed: Free arcade racer from Slightly Mad Studios

[superhyper]

WoS is an arcade racer like, for example, Burnout, whereas pCARS is a simulator. A real racing simulator that you'd want to buy a wheel for. Simple :)

[Ryzza5]

A Russian company requested SMS to make WoS, so that company is pulling the decision strings. Expect kids with laptops to play. Think NFS World.

 

pCARS is a SMS's own game - them doing everything they've wanted to do for the past 10 years, guided by the community. Expect new consoles and high-end gaming rigs to be the popular choice (need a beefy CPU for all those real time physics calculations, and GPU for all the eye candy).

 

 

WoS has benefited from using the same Madness engine + tweaks made for pCARS. pCARS has benefited from getting some car licenses from WoS. (The injection of income from the Russian company has also helped).

Anyone played this yet? What's your thoughts? :hmmm:

[operario]

its an arcade game?

[Eudemon]

Yeah it's certainly less sim than Project CARS as there would be little point having two of the same games that provide the exact same gameplay.

Is it out?

[Eudemon]

I think it's actually close to the Beta phase, saw on their twitter that they were releasing more info to those who had signed up for info on the Beta at the end of last week.
