Le Mans for PlayStation 2
Infogrames announced yesterday that Le Mans 24 Hours has gone into development for PlayStation 2.
The company is producing the game as an enhanced version of Test Drive Le Mans, formerly a Dreamcast release. Laddie Ervin, Director of Marketing at Infogrames stated enthusiastically, “If you loved Melbourne House’s Test Drive Le Mans for the Dreamcast, then Le Mans 24 Hours for the PlayStation2 will blow you away.”
As the latest in the series, Le Mans will have an updated library of drivers, car models, and teams from the 2000 season. The company has promised to produce Le Mans primarily as a simulator, while simultaneously making it appealing to arcade players. There will be rear view mirrors, animated drivers and real-time headlights that bounce on light-sourced polys. Endurance is what Le Mans is all about, and to cater for the hardcore player, Le Mans has a real-time 24 hour race option. Those who find this too much can race in one of the game’s shortened races.
Le Mans 24 Hours, due for release this summer, will be developed by Infogrames’ Melbourne House subsidiary in Australia.
