Concept Grand Prix
From senior members of the now closed Bizarre Creations, makers of some of my favorite games of old, Metropolis Street Racer, Project Gotham Racing, Blur, Fur Fighters and Geometry Wars.
If this turns out to be true, I really hope Nintendo puts their weight behind it.
Here's the article......
In a recent article, we talked about how Wii U may be slightly lacking in 3rd party support, but Nintendo may be making up for that themselves, as recent rumours suggest that Ninty have some HD tricks up their sleeve.
According to Dual Pixels, Nintendo is working on a racing simulation game, codenamed, Concept Grand Prix. The game is apparently being developed in tandem with Lucid Games, a group known for their work on racing titles such as Project Gotham Racing and Blur, which have both appeared on current HD consoles.
There is definitely some weight behind the rumour too, with Dual Pixels revealing several details about the game:
Players will begin their careers working for R&D Division, one of many fictional automobile manufacturers and concept design providers in the game. The title features a deep car customization element which allows you to build cars from scratch based on concepts provided by car manufacturers such as R&D Division. Using Wii Us tablet, players can customize everything from the vehicles individual spark plugs to curing plastics on the exterior finish. Once a player finishes their first vehicle, theyll be put through R&D Tests, which has been directly compared to Gran Turismos licensing system.
Dual Pixels also provided in depth details of the Online Mode in the game:
CGP s online multiplayer will add longevity to the title by providing monthly challenges many of which will require you to design cars to pass downloadable R&D Tests. Online races will accommodate 12-players simultaneously; you will earn points by creating cars and racing them for your company.
This could all be total rubbish, but there is some definite weight to these rumours as you can see above. We should know more soon enough though, as the source has told Dual Pixels to expect an announcement at or leading up to E3 2012′.
