System3 has finally announced a solid release date for the upcoming PS3 exclusive racer, SuperCar Challenge.
When System 3 and Eutechnyx released Ferrari Challenge last year, it was met with some pretty mixed reviews. The game was generally well praised for its excellent driving engine, yet it fell down in many other areas, mainly its Challenge mode. Determined to create a more complete game and hoping to steal a march on the delayed Gran Turismo, System 3 and Eutechnyx are back with Supercar Challenge. The focus will be moving away from a Ferrari themed game and hoping that the addition of other car manufacturers, as well as a revamped career mode, will be enough to earn them a place in the hearts and game collections of driving fans worldwide.
Got this for £15 the other day and for that money I'm not complaining. Good game if you like simulators not arcade driving games. Very similar to Ferrarri Challenge.
Eurogamer.it: Looking back to the trailer shown at E3 I smile. The footage, shot with certain expertise, showed all the features of the game and put the outset, a fundamental question: "Do you think this is just another racing game?" And then off with thrilling scenes of racing cars vying to be customized at will in the very smallest detail, stressing repeatedly the approach explicitly simulated this latest production license plate and developed at System 3 studies Eutechnyx. The answer in the video was: "Think again!"
PlayDevil has posted an in-depth review of System 3 PS3 race game "SuperCar Challenge".
Here's more:
"There are plenty of other modes, like Arcade and Time Trial, but the meat of the game is clearly in the challenge mode, so you will be forced back there at some point. AI has been improved in some aspects, and is still some of the best around there, but it seems like the AI will make more mistakes for no real reason now. In some cars (e.g. the F40), it seemed like the entire field was incapable of taking one of the chicanes at the fake Montreal circuit."
great game by far the best sim for consoles ever! sim=simulator please understand that!
Indeed, it's basically a "hardcore simulation" game. So if anybody is searching for an arcade racer ... this game won't do you any good.
This game sounds pretty impressive. The Ferrari Challenge game they released last year was really well-done, but not very well-received because these games are very realistic supercar simulators. It can be extremely difficult because you really feel the speed and the danger in driving these powerful machines when you play System 3's racers. If I recall correctly, the reviewers weren't too pleased with the high difficulty of the previous game, so they'll probably criticize this one for the same thing. Not to mention that these days everybody wants 400+ cars and the critics didn't like the fact that only Ferrari's were available in that game. But anybody really interested in driving the world's fastest production racecars, System 3's games are for you. 1080p rendering, too, this game looks gorgeous.
Iv'e been in the closed beta since early May, and the game is pretty sweet Great graphics, and the driving is hard as hell
I recently got GRID, going from the SuperCar Challenge beta to Grid was just awkward...
I hope this is a good game. well it will be as it is a PS3 exclusive.
