Announcing Toca World Touring Cars for Sony Playstation
High-Speed Hedonists' Dreams Come True On August 25Th When Codemasters Launches Toca World Touring Cars
Codemasters' 2 1/2 million selling PlayStation motor
sport series goes global on August 25th.
High-speed hedonists' dreams come true on August 25th when Codemasters launches a dynamic new chapter in its 2 1/2 million best-selling Touring Car series with TOCA World Touring Cars, an all-new game driven by an amazing game engine, publishing exclusively on PlayStation.
TOCA World Touring Cars is the only PlayStation motor sport simulation to deliver intense, close contact (that means expect loads of smashes) racing, on real tracks and in real cars from around the world. TOCA World Touring Cars creates the thrills with an original impact physics damage system and car-handling engine to knock your socks off.
"TOCA World Touring Cars is outstanding," says Richard Darling, Codemasters' founder and Game Design Director, "It's an incredible achievement by the development team and I honestly feel it's the greatest - and definitely most exciting - racing game created for the current PlayStation system."
Official PlayStation Magazine echoes Darling's comments with the game described as "A substantial step forward for the whole racing genre. It has the potential to be the most realistic racing game ever on PlayStation."
In TOCA World Touring Cars Codemasters takes players beyond the UK-only races
of the British Touring Car Championship of the first two TOCA games, this time the internationally famous circuits are host to motor racing's most aggressive races on a global stage.
With wholly accurate recreation of 23 of the world's most famous and challenging race circuits, gamers race at key venues across five continents: Europe, North America, South America, Australia and Japan, TOCA World Touring Cars' unique "momentum prediction engine" provides the best car handling yet seen on any PlayStation game.
Players really experience the white-knuckle feel of driving any of over 40 real cars from around the world, with all the speed, jostling for position, intelligent over-taking, scrapes, wheel locking and individual driver personalities.
Visually TOCA World Touring Cars is a realistic motor sport sim, however gameplay offers arcade-like excitement and exhilaration for the player, embracing the high-speed aggressive 14-car races of the sport. Being a competitive racing sport, there's plenty of potential car damage to contend with and TOCA World Touring Cars features a powerful new dynamic polygon deformation damage system, making a collision an even more nerve-wracking incident.
The damage system is based on real-life impact physics and, by emulating the crumple zones found on an actual car, applies simulated damage effect to the graphic models of the in-game cars To ensure authentic representation, each polygon that forms part of the overall car graphic can be deformed independently
TOCA World Touring Cars' race options include the all-new Career game and a new
Tournament mode In the Career game, players complete through national, international and world championships whilst the Tournament mode enables players to create their own mini-championship by choosing their own tracks and cars to race against other race styles - single race, time trial and multi-player - are also featured Spectators can experience the action along with players with reactive replay cameras, which offer 360-degree time slicing
With sound recorded at an industry standard sound analysing laboratory to ensure players feel like they're next to the real thing, an challenging intercontinental variety of locations, competitive gameplay and a revitalised and dynamic feel, TOCA World Touring Cars will be driving PlayStation gamers wild from August 25th
