Superstars V8 Next Challenge – First Previews

Posted on December 12th, 2009 in Console, Other Sim Racing

Two months ago, Black Bean Games & Milestone announced a successor to their Superstars V8 Racing title, basing a new racing title on the European Superstars Championship.

Entitled Superstars V8 Racing Next Challenge, the new title aims to improve its mediocre successor with new cars, tracks and a new online mode. Furthermore, the developers have acquired help from former Formula One driver and Superstars Championship winner Gianni Morbidelli – A partnership that will hopefully improve the game’s realism quite a bit.

Below are the first previews of the new title, Superstars V8 Racing Next Challenge will be coming to the PC and next-gen gaming consoles in Q1 2010.

With no support for a wheel like the G25 it’s going to be dead on arrival, again. I couldn’t believe how they didn’t include the g25-support in their first game… It’s not 1990 anymore.

No thanks i’ll pass on this crap. The first one was absolutely horrible even for an arcade racer.

You don’t have to go full sim. Just make the car handle more like umm… a car :)

Todays’ consoles are “next-gen gaming consoles”?

They never seemed so “next-gen” to me, but I’m on the PC, so there.

And V8 Superstars failed so badly at everything except looking pretty.
