Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown (TDUSC) seems to be coming along under the radar at the moment. Besides the trailers we have enjoyed for the past couple of years, news seems to have almost completely dried up. Sometimes it almost feels like vapourware. But we know KT Racing are working hard on making this a true sequel to Test Drive that fans want and recently more news has started to leak out. This can only bode well for the months ahead and hopefully a confirmed release date. We’ll wait and see, but first let’s take a look at the mountain of new news and screenshots released today. Rather ..read more

The PSVR2 clearly enjoys a lot more performance than its predecessor, this means that potentially more racing games can be accurately converted to the format. Another aspect which aids the PSVR 2 is that many of the PS5 games released thus far have been PS4 games upgraded to run on PS5 rather than maximizing the full power of the format. This gives a greater opportunity to upgrade some of these titles to PSVR2 without the usual reduction in graphics and physics experienced in the past. So, with that in mind, I put together an initial selection of PS4/PS5 titles that could convert well. Along ..read more

With just over a week to go to the release of the #PSVR2 we’ve been getting a better picture of the titles confirmed for launch with the format. But outside of say 3-4 titles, I’m still not wholly convinced the support for VR is there. It has also been rather odd to see how controlled and limiting the media previews have been of the hardware and games. I have found myself questioning the honesty and experience of many of the media outlets, their reference material for quality and their experience for rating specific titles. Watching IGN’s recent coverage on GT7 VR and it is clear the reporter ..read more

An unexpected announcement this week has arrived in the form of The Crew Motorfest. Initially I was under the impression this was another DLC for The Crew 2, but no! This is a new full game experience that will take on an entirely new location. That being the mountainous island of O‘ahu in the Hawaiian archipelago, which has previously been featured in the Test Drive Unlimited games. A location of beauty, scale, and full of potential automotive challenges. It is hard to believe that it will soon be 6 years since The Crew 2 was revealed. A game which was considered divisive by many in the comm ..read more

Despite its 5 year hiatus Forza Motorsport is still one of the biggest names in automotive gaming. Helped in-part by the continued success of its cohort Forza Horizon. However, it has been over a decade since Forza Motorsport truly shone at is best. Failures to replicate an authentic physics model have held the franchise back. Of course, from an exterior perspective you might barely notice, with the announcement of new car brands, professional marketing and esports competitions with powerful licenses. All must be well then? Well, no, eventually these physics issues will catch up and every now ..read more

World Superbikes has always held a very special place in the hearts of motorbikes fans. There is a very status to these guys that is grounded and quite unlike anything else. Their ability to take commercially available sports bikes and take them to the limit, seeing the bikes wobbling through corners as the riders straddle the absolute limit of performance. So, it is great excite that we see this latest addition announced, a decade since Milestone’s previous SBK Generations title. Now with new graphics and audio bringing the whole experience bang up to date. No further details yet but enjoy th ..read more

Dakar released in 2018 was a much sought after title for an epic racing event which undoubtedly deserves more recognition among both sports and motor racing fans alike. Dakar 2018 had some good ideas and lofty ambitions, but ultimately wasn’t in a place to meet the expectations of gamers. With wonky physics, complex map system, irritating co-driver and numerous bugs. Dakar was an idea, yet the final execution left a lot to be desired, eventually scoring a lowly 4/10 in our review. A sequel might have been expected a year or two later, but all silence on the development front. Had the project b ..read more

A surprise announcement this weekend, Redout 2 will be releasing in 2022. Sequel to Redout (2016), an underrated and somewhat underappreciated title. Redout won our VVV award for Best Indie Racing Game in 2017. An ambitious title with silky smooth fluid visuals of circuits visualised in a vast scale. Redout introduced an innovative and unique control system to magnificent effect, giving perfect control while always intuitive to play. This combined with various imaginative locations and a stunning in-house soundtrack. If there was one area lacking it was the design of the craft, which all ..read more
