Hab vor heute weder was von dem Titel noch von dem Studio gehört, aber durch eine News über die Finanzierung der Firma (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/35817/Ignite_Receives_75M_In_Funding_For_Online_Racing_Project.php) über einige Zitate gestolpert:
San Francisco-based Ignite is set to launch "a new live online auto racing experience," tentatively titled Sim Raceway, which it says will break from traditional racing games.
Jonathan Haswell, CEO of Ignite, said, "There are a number of great racing games on the market but the genre as a whole has seen little real innovation in the past 10 years."
"Most titles make year-over-year incremental changes to visual fidelity and the breadth of cars and tracks on the disc - the eye candy. Ignite will offer a fresh take on the genre, one that rethinks some of the fundamentals and focuses relentlessly on a core aim of live multiplayer racing."
The upcoming game will feature "a high-fidelity physics engine and proprietary player skill quantification technology," and is set to be fully revealed later this year.
Klingt ja erst mal erfrischend. Allerdings frage ich mich schon, obs nicht reines Marketing-Blahblah ist. Autos sind halt Autos... 4 Räder und fährt geradeaus - manchmal nach links oder rechts. Und nachdem das Konzept sogar schon in ein Quasi-MMO (TDU) umgesetzt wurde, wüsste ich nicht was bei der Ausrichtung noch groß an Innovationen folgen sollte.
Mal abwarten. Die Webseite ist momentan noch nicht zugänglich:
