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.
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.
Saber Interactive today announced Expeditions: A MudRunner Game at Gamescom. This doesn’t seem like quite the sandbox SnowRunner is and perhaps is more storyline driven. One of the very few ‘problems’ with SnowRunner is the fact that once you find a mega vehicle you can basically get through anything. I’m hopeful, looking at the previews below, that this title might be limited to smaller vehicles.
In fact that’s not just a thing with SnowRunner. Elite Dangerous was such a better space game when everyone was fighting with their tiny little ships prior to the introduction of the Anaconda during the beta phase. I miss that.
You can wishlist Expeditions: A MudRunner Game on Steam.
