Gaming

James Bond games are nothing new. From the 1982 Shaken Not Stirred through the iconic Goldeneye, he’s well represented. However, 007’s rides often get overlooked save for the disappointing 007 Racing. Now it looks like Playground Games could change that with the latest Forza Horizon 4 leak.

The team at Thrustmaster has confirmed the September launch of its TSS Handbrake for consoles. Joining it is a surprise item, and it will be available this coming Monday.

Leaks surrounding the car list for Forza Horizon 4 are continuing to surface. A previous leak showcased thumbnails of potential new cars (including a 2,400hp Volvo racing truck and Mercedes Unimog), but the latest leak could be the biggest yet.

We’re eight days out from the release of F1 2018. As such, Codemasters has doubled down with yet another new gameplay trailer.

If you’ve been itching to make a suit/car combo and want to show it off in our competitions, this is the round for you.

With Gamescom less than a week away, the announcements are coming thick and fast. The latest comes from Microïds and Eden Games, with the news that Gear.Club Unlimited 2 is coming to Nintendo’s Switch before the year is out.

When Polyphony Digital first announced the final format of the FIA Online Championships in 2018, we couldn’t help but notice a glaring omission. Although the entry criteria were expansive, they also excluded certain nations from the competitions.

Tin-top sim racers, rejoice: RaceRoom Racing Experience has gone under the knife for its latest update, and it’s brought a new touring car series with it. Say hello to the FIA World Touring Car Cup (or WTCR).

It hasn’t even released yet, but we now know more details on the first DLC for Forza Horizon 4. Dubbed the Formula Drift Car Pack, it’ll arrive alongside the game on October 2.

Time is quickly winding down as we close in on the release of F1 2018. With 11 days remaining, Codemasters is keeping the hype going with the latest gameplay trailer.

Long-term GT Sport fans know what Tuesday means. It’s another update to the game’s Mileage Exchange.

What cars would you consider modern classics? That’s the question that inspires this latest GT Sport Photo Mode Competition, and we’re excited to see what the GTPlanet community comes up with.

If I had to choose one word to describe my approach to sim racing hardware, it’d have to be “minimal.” For the vast majority of my make-believe career, I’ve plugged away with nothing more than a controller. When a brief stint with iRacing forced me to use a wheel, I snagged a Driving Force GT and improvised a rig using a folding dinner table, along with a large stack of books behind the featherweight pedals to keep them from sliding.

Less than two weeks remain until F1 2018 launches. Codemasters is continuing the steady feed of info with latest developer diary, turning its attention to a hot button issue: physics.

Turn 10 has cracked open Forza Motorsport 7 recently. In the August update, the team brought back Time Attack and gave players more drifting options. There’s a free Aston race car, too. That’s why our theme for the latest FM7 Photo Mode Competition is similarly open. But before we get to that, we’ve got another poll to attend to…

Have we really hit 20 iterations of our modern photo mode competitions? To celebrate, we’re casting a wide net this round, eschewing a theme to find the best shots out there.

Apparently 5.5 million of us have played GT Sport to date.

The countdown to Forza Horizon 4 is well underway, but that hasn’t stopped the community from uncovering hidden surprises before launch.

It’s been 18 months since we last heard about GTR 3. That silence has ended now, with word that the upcoming sim racer will be on the ground at Gamescom 2018 later this month.

Not to be outdone by rival — and one-time-BFF — McLaren, Mercedes-AMG has announced its own complete F1 Esports squad. It’s even got one more driver.
