Simbins New Project Is….A Toad?!

Posted on October 25th, 2008 in Other Sim Racing – 24 Comments

The whole sim community is speculating what the hinted new Simbin project is going to be about. Pretty much all possible series have been mentioned but without any available details, it’s impossible to say what’s likely and what not.

Simbin has listed the project on their homepage already, calling it “Codename Toad”. If that’s just a funny inside joke or supposed to give us a hint – Who know’s. All we do know is that the “Toad” will be based on gMotor 2, feature a much requested series and will integrate in RACE07/GTR Evolution.

The guessing continues…

    Tease !!!!!!!
    No fair, lol
    Admittedly though if I were them I would keep it quiet to helps build a bit of hype

    BTCC has been much requested by its fans for quite some time now, just really really really really….. ok enough of the really hope its BTCC.

    It just so happens that one of the rarer toad-species is called ALMS, or Aquatico Litargo Monero Speculu in latin.

    You just made that up, didn’t you? :grin:

    if not , it might be it … if so , you will deserve a price when its anounced. come to think of it .. ALMS might just be the thing. would be great for the american market.

    stabiz ..ever did a toad video ? no doubt it would be quality , and you would not have to do slow mo´s ;-)

    If it is ALMS then they’ve had a quite serious injection of capital from somewhere… the licence is big money. TOAD could be some kind of acronym, though :P

    TOAD? Lizard?

  • trebor901

    sureley if it was gonna be ALMS they would want to put it onto the Lizard engine as all most American gamers care about is graphics.

  • flips

    oh snap…

  • stabiz

    Hehe, I was kidding. :razz:

    Wix: :lol:

  • Goon

    Could be an acronym for “Our graphics engine is Too Old And Dated”? :wink:

    I do like their sims, but the phrase flogging a dead horse comes to mind when it comes to their butchered Gmotor2 engine.

    “sureley if it was gonna be ALMS they would want to put it onto the Lizard engine as all most American gamers care about is graphics.”

    Was that really necessary?

  • trebor901

    what? it wasnt having a go at american people its just the way it is. Look at any american game or games that have been made for the american market and then brought to europe, the graphics are always better than the gameplay.

  • trebor901

    But i suppose if you’re a sim racer then you’ll know the Simbin name and know that they generally make great games.

  • Bram

    Lol, way to go Trebor. Guess you forgot that iRacing is very American, just as all the praised NASCAR simulation games? That in general the racinggames made about American racing series have always tended to be aimed at realism, while the European titles get more and more arcadey?

  • DW

    Isn’t Need for Speed American? But I’m not taking sides – Simbin use an American graphics engine.

  • navalhawkeye

    Yea, good point. All current, major sims have code based in the US. :roll:

  • Eurostc

    STCC = Frog

    GTREVO = Mamba

    :?: = Toad

    my vote BTCC

  • timwheatley

    I think the last non-US engine was Grand Prix 4.

  • RJC_pt

    netKar pro is italian, lfs is british…

  • timwheatley

    I thought they were both started and first released before GP4?

  • RJC_pt

    nope, gp4 is from 2002…

  • timwheatley

    LFS S1 was released in 2003 it seems, my mistake:
