Test Drive: Ferrari what's this?

[t.o.]

We need a "Other Racing Game" forum guys. Couldn't really find a place to fit this.

With Horizon coming out in the near future I suddenly "found" this coming out supposedly 7/3/2012 from, you guessed it, Slightly Mad Studios

What do we make of this? A weak preemptive strike to Horizon possibly?

It looks like a classic Test Drive to me. It doesn't look very impressive either

The game looks great but it has SHIFT2 boat physics.

I agree we need a "Console/PC Gaming" sub forum.

Not sure about this game. I don't think I'll be able to tolerate Shift physics again...

Will probably pick it up in a sale, just because I enjoy racing games and like to try as many as I can.

The game is supposed to be set on tracks rather than open world so I don't think it's really targetting the same group and I think this game was announced quite a bit before Horizon, think of it as NFS Shift: Ferrari.

I've been waiting for this game since I first heard of it, if it had the physics from the original Shift game then I'd probably play it quite a bit but Shift 2 physics were almost unbearable for me. I'll probably buy this game just for the old F1 cars and some of the tracks that are supposedly in game.

Haven't Slightly Mad Studios been working on Project: CARS? Is this an offshoot of the same work or what?

 

[t.o.]

Anyone think they're gonna want full price on this or do like Race Pro did and discount it.

Well hasn't the last 2 Test Drive games been $39.99 on release day?

Everyone here is selling it for $50.
