PC2 Slightly Mad Studios to Announce New IP?

[Paul Jeffrey]

Slightly Mad Studios head man Ian Bell has teased fans about an upcoming announcement.. a new game IP from the developers that brought you Project CARS and Need for Speed..

With Project CARS already out and taking on established PC and console racing rivals, plus with Project CARS 2 development well underway and the upcoming free to play Red Bull Air Race game also picking up pace one would be forgiven for thinking SMS already have enough on their plate, not so says Slightly Mad Studios Head Ian Bell!

Speaking with fans over on the GTP forum, Bell admitted Slightly Mad Studios have "massive news" unrelated to the Project CARS franchise, stating they intend to announce "a new franchise (that's) very VERY exciting".

So with previous titles Project CARS, Test Drive Ferrari Racing, Shift 2 Unleashed and Need for Speed Shift under its belt, what could the new IP mean for SMS?

When pushed on if the announcement relates to a racing title, Bell was cagey in his reply, responding "Yes, sort of", which only heightens the curiosity around the future reveal.

Stay tuned to RaceDepartment for more news on what Slightly Mad Studios have up their sleeve as and when it becomes available....

Based on the original Project CARS experience my guess would be....

To stop you picky so-called sim racers complain we announcing another game RIGHT AFTER a release, this time we do it BEFORE a release. Take that sim whiners!

Just more money generating rubbish most probably. Great for the investors I suppose.

Which reminds me, whatever became of the f2p racing MMO "World of Speed", which was announced by SMS in 2014?

 

[Omer Said]

A voxel based survival crafting racing game? (Well, it has to be in these times, righT?)

Motorcycle racing.

 

[Blimey]

Need for Speed Underground 2 REMAKE.

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

[Tobiman]

Maybe some offroad racing involving ATVs and bikes?

 

[Lars Hansen]

Can't even begin to tell you how tired I am of this bull-feces.
This is obviously just my own opinion, and I can't speak for RaceDepartment, but....
If Ian Bell has news to share, then share it.
If not, STFU.

 

[Tom Blackett]

More 'so called sim' ****?

 

[Celestiale]

Boat racing sim?
Wouldn't mind an open world game ala Forza Horizon 3 as well, but with good physics and FFB (better then PCars1)

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

Please for the love of god let it be BTCC racing....

and the upcoming free to play Red Bull Air Race game

That game is already released. I think it was released back in November 2016.

Say that to Milestone. They already have 3 announced, but unreleased game. And who said that this new IP is a sim?

Aye fair point Missed the fact it came out already, will have to have a little look at that one, could be good for a little light distraction
