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?
As a direct ancestor of iRacing, the ‘Grand Prix Legends engine’ had multiple stock car racing false starts, before eventually releasing as NASCAR Racing 4. The original NASCAR 3, cancelled and replaced by one that used NASCAR 2’s engine, is barely remembered.
V-Rally 4 is the fourth rally game developed by Kylotonn for Bigben Interactive, their first in the V-Rally franchise, featuring a wide array of racing types such as rally, rally cross, extreme-khana, off-road buggies and hillclimb.
