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.
Last week I posted about Motorsport Games announcement that they were moving to acquire the shares of 704Games owned by PlayFast. On Monday, unannounced on their Web site, they agreed to acquire the last 10.1% of the outstanding common stock of 704Games owned by Ascend. After closing of these transactions Motorsport Games will own 100% of the outstanding common stock of 704Games.
As I said, they chose not to post this on their news page on Monday, but you can find it on finance Web sites and it is mentioned that they had made the offer in their PlayFast announcement. The news now, of course, is that it appears to have been accepted.
