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 full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about. Shawn Nash is a behind-the-scenes pioneer responsible for SODA Off Road Racing’s incredible physics, Papyrus’ graphical advancements and iRacing’s use of laser scan data for the physical track surfaces.
This interview with RSC, published in 2021, details his early life and career, through both his own company, Papyrus, Electronic Arts, to his time at iRacing.
I haven’t ever posted news from the GT series since re-launching the site in 2019, but based on the latest trailer below decided I probably should. By definition this probably is in simulation territory. As I’ve said before, a bad sim is still a sim… And if this is a good sim, on a console, why not?
The official gameplay trailer below features the Daytona roadcourse layout from both the cockpit and trackside. I noticed both angles were from the same lap, so have combined them in my version you can also see below.
My opinion on the trailer is mixed. You can probably get a realistic experience out of GT7 and I love seeing real-world race tracks and whole fields of cars in a title like this… However, what’s with the understeer? Hopefully it’s just an ‘easy’ default setup.
