Video game development is rarely about one man, but if it was, then Terence Groening should certainly get a mention for his contributions to the genre as the man responsible for the physics of Sportscar GT, EA’s PC F1 and NASCAR games of the early 2000’s, rFactor, rFactor 2 and every title and rFpro simulator that spawned from ISI’s engine.
This interview with RSC details his early life and career, through to him joining iRacing in 2021.
Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
Nacon today posted a gameplay preview showing some onboard and chase cam footage from a section of the Snaefell Mountain Course in the upcoming TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 3 title that is due for release in May, 2023.
The video description reads:
On the Isle of Man, the slightest mistake can be fatal. At more than 300km/h, the landscapes go by and you must not lose focus for a second. For this first gameplay video, you will discover the section one of the Snaefell Mountain Course, THE race of the Isle of Man TT, reproduced in 1:1 scale. From Bray Hill to Ballacraine, multiple dangers await you but also surprises, like the iconic buildings and churchs, the Railway Inn, the Twisted Chimneys of Glen Vine or the Crosby Hotel.
TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 will be available May 2023 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.
