Superstars V8 Racing – First Trailer

Posted on April 8th, 2009 in Other Sim Racing – 5 Comments

Black Bean Games and Milestone have released a first video trailer of their upcoming Superstars V8 Racing game, showing first in-game footage of their title.

Officially licensed by the European Superstars Championship, the title will include all cars and tracks of the Italian series. That includes popular race cars like the Audi RS4, the BMW M5 and other V8-powered machinery that races on Italian tracks as well as at Portimao and Kyalami.

Just like the first screenshots released yesterday, the trailer shows that the game heavily relies on motion blur to deliver a sense of speed, creating a pretty unique look. Superstars V8 Racing will be released for the PC, the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 in 2009.

    Is this going to be a SIM or a arcade game? Would be very fun to drive those cars if they had realistic physics.

    Look more fun than realistic. At 0:31 the physics didn’t look to solid, car hit the barrier at like 60mph and just slid along it.
    Despite this, I think I’ll get it.

    Looks somewhere in between to me. I wouldn’t class it as arcade as these days car physics have advanced quite a way since Outrun and Pole Position :)

    The chase view is as arcade as it gets though.
    Its almost begging for another 50p in the slot after the Game Over message.
    Lets call it “Simcade”. Like what I expect NFS:Shift and GRID 2 will be.

    Aside of that HDR, which looks like decreased dynamic range actually, the thing that is absolutely weird for me is that sepia brownish tint on everything. Looks like it became inevitable for any console game now. A kind of “monkey see, monkey do” for every game art. I am gradually getting sick of it. Modern game now almost looks like Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn. Only paint cracks are missed. The European painting went through centuries of development new pigments chemistry to get rid of total brownish earthern colors domination but games now go back to the Middle Ages.
