Sprint Car Racing coming for PlayStation2
The World’s first sprint car racing game on any console. Expect plently of spectacular and frequent collisions.
“The Greatest Show on Dirt” sprints onto PlayStation 2 with Sprint Car Racing (working title) developed by Australia’s premier developer Ratbag Pty Ltd.
Sprint car racing is among the most popular motor sports in the United States with over 700 tracks and millions of spectators attending weekly meetings. Travelling at speeds of up to 170 mph, these 800 horsepower vehicles typically weigh less than 1,200lb with a power to weight ratio comparable only to that of a Formula One car.
The two most exciting and dangerous aspects of the sport are the immense levels of acceleration unleashed by the vehicles, and the spectacular and frequent collisions that can occur as a result.
SPIN heralds the arrival of the World’s first sprint car racing game on any console. This PlayStation 2 exclusive realistically simulating both the exhilaration of the sport and the physics of the unique machines themselves, with their distinctive angled wings and breakneck acceleration.
Players will see astounding particle animation techniques used to create exhaust smoke, splattered tracks and shattered cars. Players will have facilities to repair their vehicles - and they'll NEED them, as the vehicles are subject to random failures that reflect the player's driving ability, such as tyre blow-outs and engine stalling, elements that also enhance the excitement for the game's multi-player games.
KEY FEATURES:
The World's first Track Deformation System. For the first time, dirt track surfaces will actually alter to reflect the impact of real racing. Ruts, grooves and potholes will all feature.
A complex damage model replicates collisions between sprint cars. Vehicle parts detach , fly across the track and can collide with other cars.
Spectacular collisions, dangerous racing and breakneck speeds.
15 real life sprint car tracks.
Four modes of play: Quick Race, Driving School, Championship and Career mode.
Sophisticated neural network AI providing unpredictability and ‘human-like’ computer opponents.
Full utilisation of the DVD functionality of PlayStation 2 will provide players with a seamless video and real-time experience.
