As I said in the Project Jakob thread, Ramon = Smart Cookie. :smile-big:

 

[Mikkel]

Yup, nice work on the googling and the thinking Ramon

 

[Ramon van Rijn]

Maybe I misread it, but if I read the website its mentioned as a Game... A standalone game?

“When Volvo Cars asked us if we were able to develop a Volvo racing game for PC, suitable for a wide audience and including the new S60 Concept car, we picked up on the challenge straight away” says Henrik Roos, SimBin Studios CEO.

The game comes with three difficulty levels to appeal to a broad audience, from new comer to the experienced gamer.

Released on my birthday

Can't see anything at work but any idea if it includes anything other than the S60...?

 

[Manuel Abel]

how many cars and tracks?
will this be an add-on for race07 or a standalone game?

best thing is its free

 

[Keith Peppiatt]

cool! the S60 concept looks really nice. looking forward to seeing the other models too.

Even if standalone, it may include the models that can be ported to GTRE/STCC

 

[Alen Pecanin]

I think it will be a standalone game with just that car and a few tracks. and when its free it will be like an advertisement for Volvo and SimBin, and people will start to like Race 07 games and then they'll buy Evo and stuff just like we did, but nice idea.

 

[Mike Coleman]

Well bend me over and call me "spanky"......

A free game!

If it is standalone, do you think SimBin would mind if the modders ported it into Evo? arty2:

Like the BMW M3 Challenge? :dance2:

Was that a race07 mod?

It was ported to Evo.

Of course they will. I can't see a reason why not. The game they get money from or the game they don't.. Which is more likely to be supported?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Do we really have to start modding an announcement? :focus:

 

[Abdul Al-Amry]

Do we really have to start modding an announcement?

LOL :rotfl:

 

[Christophe Berton]

i think it will be the same as the vectra addon, you can play it as stand a lone but its work fine in the full game

 

[Christophe Berton]

The fresh and exiting Volvo S60 Concept headlines the car line up and will be accompanied by
several well known Volvo race cars.

do anybody know some other volvo race cars? (not a c30 or S60 - STCC addon)

I just had a look on the volvo site, what about the Volvo XC60 in GTR Evo, that will be funny, some offroad racing
= nice car

Cant w8, love the C30 and love Simbin's work, so lets start a partyarty2:

 

[GAIAjohan]

I hope it will be a bunch of normal roadcars. Jus for simple trackdays like you would do with low amounts of power.
