If you ever played Papyrus’ seminal Grand Prix Legends then you’ve read his name. Rich began working as a tester on NASCAR Racing (1994) and was with Papyrus at the end. In this interview, published in 2022, we discuss his time at the legendary studio and the design of Grand Prix Legends, including initial feelings of hurt at not being asked to join iRacing.
Asobo, known today as the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer, created groundbreaking technology for large scale maps that was intended to be used in a high quality rally raid title. It was never released and ended up as FUEL, a post-apocalyptic open-world racing game. What happened?
Plutonization have just released some screenshots showing the Devel16 I previously posted about already in-engine. The press statement below also mentions (for the first time that I’ve seen) a March, 2023 release estimate. Until now it was scheduled for December, 2022.
Press release:
“The 5 thousand horsepower powerhouse “Devel Sixteen” has officially joined Rev to Vertex (R2V).”
The Hong Kong developing racing game Rev to Vertex (R2V) attended the International MotorXpo Hong Kong (IMXHK) 2022. It announced the collaboration with the United Arab Emirates company Devel Motors, introducing the 5 thousand horsepower Devel Sixteen into the world of Rev to Vertex, becoming Devel Sixteen’s first appearance and licenced car into a game. The publishers of R2V, Z-Challengers, invited the president of Devel Motors Mr Majid over from Dubai to Hong Kong for the signing ceremony to kick off the collaboration. Guest appearance of professional racer Mr Darryl O’Young went on and test-drove Devel Sixteen within R2V. He gave his first-hand feedback and commented on the power and speed the car exhilarates. It is difficult for him to properly handle the vehicle when hitting tight corners on mountainous roads. He exclaimed without the G-force feedback like the actual scenarios, It becomes more challenging for him to estimate the car’s immense power.
R2V is tentatively scheduled to be launched in March 2023. The game will first be released on the PC platform, and players can now download it on STEAM.
