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.
If you ever played Papyrus’ seminal Grand Prix Legends then you’ve read his name. Rich began working as a tester on NASCAR Racing (1994) and was with Papyrus at the end. In this interview, published in 2022, we discuss his time at the legendary studio and the design of Grand Prix Legends, including initial feelings of hurt at not being asked to join iRacing.
Kylotonn have released their November update for WRC 10. This update adds the 2021 Acropolis Rally that while present in the game since the launch through a historical event, brings three special stages in the 2021 version to the software. Five new events are also now available including the Richard Burns and Robert Reid victory in their Subaru Impreza WRC during the 2000 Safari Rally Kenya.
WRC 10’s Clubs have a new difficulty mode; Realistic. This mode allows you to carry over the damage inflicted on the vehicle to the next stage, to place one or more service parks (and to impose a mandatory passage to a service park in order to equip the car with appropriate tires when the road surface changes between two stages), the stages are played in one shot and cannot be replayed.
Check out the Patch Notes below for more details about the changes across all platforms that come with the update.
