Shortly after the release of Grand Prix Legends the sim racing community looked forward to another title that promised to offer a similar insight into historic racing. Trans-Am Racing ’68-’72 ultimately never released, a victim of a publishers shady dealings, but as a part of my research I uncovered a VHS of a never-released trailer for the game. Watch the trailer and read about what sim racing missed out on.
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?
Codemasters and EA have removed DiRT 4 from the Steam store. You can still see the profile page, still install and play it if you own it, but it is no longer sold.
This is such a disappointing trend. As an archivist, someone who wants people to be able to play every sim from every developer from every decade, it makes me extremely sad to see any software removed from sale. I fully understand that some licenses may have been expiring, but I’d absolutely have preferred anything other than this to happen… What a shame.
