Toca RD3 interview

Just read a short interview on Eurogamer about Toca RD3. It's obviously full with all the this-game-is-going-to-be-the-best-ever-sim-made rubbish, but one section is quite interesting:

Finally a new 'plugin' particle system is nearing completion that will give the artists complete control of the various special effects within the game. Early results with 'programmer' art really show off the power of this system and we are expecting some spectacular effects to appear in the final game.

A glimmer of hope maybe that the game will have something decent in. The career mode also leads to driving for Williams. I somehow doubt you going to see F1C/GP4 type realism though! And Williams must be the only liscenced F1 car.

New shots... is that a Ferrari I see?!















The particle and damage system look amazing!

yeah, if they're ingame shots and not renders...

Well that's what I said before when we saw these type of damage shots. They're not renders though, but they may be edited in game shots. But this plug-in particle system sounds promising.

Lets just hope they have a decent collision model so that you don't just bounce off other cars like in RD2

cool and cool morgan :D

this sounds really good.. for PS3??

Its on XBox and PC too. Those shots are pure in-game shots! It really does look that good! Lets just hope the physics matches up!

i imagine it will have the same crappy arcade physics as RD2

Well, if you go on the basis that there was a big improvement from RD1 to RD2, hopefully we'll see one again. The worst thing with the RD2 physics is the way many cars become undriveable at hgih speed in 'pro sim' mode becuase they are so responsive. Just touch the wheel and the car veers of course and spins!

At least there's going to be proper rules.

I wish they'd stop using photo's and passing them off as screenshots :p :D

The picture of the two cars crashing is obviously a render. Which probably means the others are too.

They're not renders... I can't see why people don't think they're real shots. Those visuals are capable of being produced by PC's and this gen consoles (although I think the consoles will have a dulled down version of that damage).

Why would Codemasters release renders and try to pass them off as screenshots? They wouldn't to be blunt.

If RD3 is made by the same people as RD1&RD2 then we are in trouble as those guys do not support their games what so ever just like EA, they may release one patch and thats it....RD2 would have been a great game if they supported it :-/

Those are renders

I'd be more inclined to believe everyone who says they are renders if they were visual image programmers, and not armchair gaming enthusiasts .

As for the game, I've said it before; I didn't want a simulation when I bought RD and RD2, and I loved them. As far as arcade games go, they are better than anything out there 'pretending' to be a sim.
