E3 2017

Slightly Mad Studios’ Creative Director Andy Tudor has insisted that GT Sport and Forza Motorsport 7 are playing catch up to the Project CARS series. The soundbite comes from an interview conducted at E3 last month.

Forza Motorsport 7 has been awarded E3 “Racing Game of The Show” by the Games Critic Awards judge panel. To take the crown, Turn 10’s latest entry in the Motorsport series beat out stiff competition from the likes of GT Sport and Project CARS 2.

This year’s E3 may have come to a close but the event is still fresh in our minds. This year’s expo proved one thing: the remainder of 2017 is going to be expensive. There are multiple hard-hitting racing titles, all releasing within earshot of the other. Then there’s the new kid on the block, the Xbox One X.

One of the most dangerous motorcycle disciplines on the globe is soon going to get its own video game iteration. TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge is an upcoming motorcycle simulator that aims to let players feel all the peril and excitement of the eponymous event.

Continuing with our hands-on time with some of the racing games from E3 2017, we’re now exploring Forza Motorsport 7.

June has been a busy month for the team at Codemasters. DiRT 4 was released into the public’s hands, Micro Machines: World Tour is due to launch next week and F1 2017 took to the stage for E3. The industry veteran hit Los Angeles to talk about the title and turn some heads with what it has in store this August.

During last year’s E3, Microsoft revealed the Xbox Design Lab, the Redmond team’s online customization tool for Xbox One controllers. At this year’s event, Microsoft announced an expansion to the program, giving users even more customization options.

We got a fair amount of seat time with Gran Turismo Sport at E3 last week. Between catching the latest trailer and interviewing series creator Kazunori Yamauchi (twice), we took in the latest build of Polyphony’s first PS4 game.

Games media outlet GameSpot has posted a new video interview with Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi. The discussion took place during last week’s E3 expo and includes some notes of interest throughout.

While we were at E3 2017 last week, we got time behind the wheel of some of this year’s most anticipated games. One of these titles was Project CARS 2, shown off in the Bandai booth. On the show’s first full day, we sat down with Slightly Mad Studios for more info on the game.

Amidst all the madness at E3 last week, 704Games released more info on this year’s officially sanctioned NASCAR game. The good news: the developer seems to be listening to the fans.

This year’s Forza Motorsport 7 marks a new chapter for the sim-racing side of the franchise. As you may have heard, FM7 sports an all-new dynamic race weather system.

With E3 2017 in the rearview mirror, it’s time to look back at all the madness. The event in LA brought with it one of the largest expansions to GT Sport’s car list since the unveiling event in May 2016. We’ve rounded them all up in three categories — road, race, and rally — to get a better idea of what players can expect when the game launches this autumn.

Last month French developer Kylotonn teased the newest virtual iteration of the famed World Rally Championship. While we were at E3, we managed to gather more details on WRC 7, and even do an early test drive.

The recently announced Forza Motorsport 7 is looking like a sizeable leap forward for the franchise. Turn 10 has clearly put in a lot of work to wow fans on release this October.

Project CARS 2 got the E3 2017 hype started with a sizzle reel last week. With the massive gaming event in full swing, we sat down with Andy Tudor (creative director) and Stephen Viljoer (game director) to discuss the finer details of Slightly Mad Studios’ ambitious new sim racer.

With the Canadian Grand Prix wrapping up just last weekend, E3 was the prime opportunity for Codemasters to show off its latest rendition of the sport. F1 2017 creative director Lee Mather was on hand at E3 to have a chat with GTPlanet about Codemasters’ latest creation.

We’ve seen the trailer, we’ve interviewed the boss (twice) and now there’s even more information coming about GT Sport.

The eagerly anticipated Forza Motorsport 7 finally broke cover this week at E3 2017. It’s already been announced that the new Forza title will sport a brand new dynamic weather system and career mode, but it seems there’s a bit more in store than that.

As you’d expect, this year’s E3 has already given us a ton of Forza Motorsport 7 news. We’ve learned that the game will feature a brand-new career mode and that the new Xbox One X still has power to spare when running FM7.
