Fancy working for one of Sony’s biggest first-party studios and the creators of Gran Turismo? If so, then you’re in luck, as Polyphony Digital recently updated its recruitment page with a variety of job positions. The full list is below:
Pikes Peak has had a bit of a checkered history with the Gran Turismo franchise. The 12-mile hill climb made its first (and only) appearance—in a condensed form—in Gran Turismo 2 and since then has remained absent from the series. In what seems to becoming a common occurrence though, Pikes Peak International Hill Climb continues to threaten a return to the franchise thanks to an article by media outlet Eurogamer and a peculiar choice of words within.
Cadillac, not seen in the Prototype motorsport sector since its disastrous Northstar LMP attempt, came back in an almighty fashion in the 2017 Rolex Daytona 24 Hour, with a largely unchallenged one-two finish after taking up the first two spots on the starting grid.
We’ll call this a surprising start to the week: Youtube user Vortlas SimRacing has uploaded a never-before-seen unofficial trailer for Slightly Mad Studios’ Project CARS 2. While we must stress the unofficial aspect—nothing has been confirmed by SMS at this point—this is the first footage we’ve seen of the game that is scheduled to release in 2017, and there is a lot to digest.
February’s just about here, and for Forza Horizon 3 players, that means another series of Forzathon events. The shortest month of the year is packing in the challenges, with seven separate sets running from this upcoming Friday to the day before March.
If you’re keeping tabs on the Virtual Reality space within the sim genre, you’ll probably know the name Marcel Pfister. The racing enthusiast has created some great mixed reality videos in the past including a tour around DiRT Rally’s snowy Sweden and Assetto Corsa’s Green Hell. The newest of these videos center around Kunos Simulazioni’s racing title once more, this time taking the Porsche 911 Carrera S for a spin around Italy’s Vallelunga circuit.
If you play Assetto Corsa on consoles, chances are you’ve had a bit of a grass-is-greener feeling of late. The PC platform—the original home of the game—welcomed the third Porsche Pack DLC a few days before Christmas 2016, and over a month later, there’s still no firm date for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It sounds like that will be changing soon, however.
After an impressive start to this year’s IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, racers prepare themselves for one of the largest and most anticipated events of the motorsports world: the 24 Hours of Daytona.
Rally fans got a big surprise yesterday when Codemasters announced DiRT 4 would be releasing this summer. The game promises a lot of content, with over 50 off-road vehicles and the official World Rallycross Championship license. Now, a pair of Youtube videos from the Erased Citizens channel give us a better idea of what to expect from the game.
The 2017 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season is about to get underway in Florida. With qualifying completed yesterday, this year’s 55 competitors will be duking it out around Daytona for 24 hours, starting tomorrow.
News first broke of Porsche coming to iRacing at the beginning of the month, but in recent tweet on the official iRacing Twitter account, it was announced that the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup will be coming to the game today.
When you hear about Ford’s EcoBoost engine, the first thing that comes to most people’s minds is economy. But one does not purchase a Ford GT for economy, one purchases it for the power. And much like a recent politician, the new Ford GT claims to give the people what they want.
2017’s impressive line up of racing games just got even better as Codemasters just announced the fourth main-line iteration of its DiRT series. Fresh off the success of DiRT Rally (which is getting a PS VR update soon), it seems Codies isn’t wasting time, and has set a release date of June 9 this year, with the game hitting PS4, XB1, and PC.
With recent Xbox sales going on, and Project Cars being confirmed as free on Games with Gold for February, you must be wondering when Sony will come for your wallet. Worry no more, as the company has just launched the PS Essentials sale!
Polyphony have pulled the trigger on the latest Seasonal Events for Gran Turismo 6. This week’s events are a combination of time trial and drifting challenges, testing your mettle at a variety of racing venues. Whether it be tuned or purpose-built racing machines, this week’s events has a little bit of something for everyone.
4K gaming is already on the rise thanks to the PlayStation 4 Pro having an early start. Released last year in November, the higher-spec Sony console already has a number of titles taking advantage of the additional headroom, and is further enhanced when VR is factored into the equation. The other half of this 4K race remains absent for the time being: Microsoft.
Last week, we reported on the many Driveclub discounts you can currently find on the PlayStation Store in the EU, If Evolution Studios’ title doesn’t quite tickle your fancy, there’s also some other racers on sale until February 8 across the PlayStation ecosystem. If you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you’ll get a further 10% off these prices too.
Earlier this month, in the midst of the release of the Rockstar Car Pack for Forza Horizon 3, Turn 10 accidentally gave its PC users a whole lot more; an entire debug version of the title, exclusively saved for development purposes for the in-house team.
As you are probably aware of by now, Forza Horizon 3 has received critical acclaim from many game reviewers, and is considered one of the best in the genre this generation. It earned itself the E3 2016 Game Critics Award for best racing game last year, and was even voted Best Racing Game by our community in the 2016 GTPlanet Awards.
