Racecraft: You Had Me at "Unlimited Tracks"

[Ryzza5]

 

You may have a faint recollection of a racing title called "Victory: The Age of Racing" that didn't seem to go anywhere.

 

Well, now the team is back with something a little different: Unlimited, procedurally generated, tracks. From the Gamescom videos seen so far, the core essentials appear to be 'good enough', but here are some of the headlines:

 

* Open-wheel vehicle, with plans for go-karts and off-road later

* Sim-cade physics with assistance from Assetto Corsa developer. (Think 'Medium' difficulty in AC).

* Wheel support

* Community votes for their favourite random tracks to be featured in a monthly official list.

* Tracks feature elevation changes.

* Maximum track length arbitrarily set to 10 kilometers.

* Player can shape random track by specifying length, environment/geographic location, and time of day.

* VR support

woow they've managed to put everything I don't like in a single racing game.

Open wheel cars, custom tracks and sim-cade physics...

You don't like simcade? What's Forza then? :mhmm:

[Ozzmcom]

I don't like its physics, they're ok.

Sounds amusing, but open wheel? Nyeeeeeh.

 

I have images in my head of a slightly more serious Trackmania. :D
