Some review screenshots up on Bsim
http://www.bsimracing.com/

"The Test Drive series will continue next year with a Ferrari-centric driving game. publisher Bigben Interactive announced the acquisition of distribution rights for Test Drive: Ferrari, which it will release in Europe on March 20, for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

Producer of the game: Slightly Mad Studios • Games publisher: Evolved Games."

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-11-22-test-drive-ferrari-announced

"Blimey! Games, which Slightly Mad acquired back in 2009, had a licensed Ferrari title in the works, which was then reportedly held up by legal wranglings."

Yeah, seems to be that... always wondered what happened to it. I would really love this game to be something like Need For Speed: Porsche, but with Ferrari cars instead. As much as I love SMS, I'm a bit sad that they're making this, because it seems every game they make must be only with track races.

I knew something had been mentioned about this before but any of the searches I did didnt show up any results.
Looks like it is the Ferrari Project, a pretty small fry publisher it has if its Evolved Games, last entry I see from them is August 6, 2009.
Wonder who SMS ie Blimey will blame for the physics this time

Judging from the screens the game looks like Unleashed but with Ferraris. It's perfectly fine for me Razz

Works with copy and paste
Is this game is pre Shift if it was made by Blimey ? ,same company as SMS just a different name or something that SMS did after Blimey folded.
Graphics engine changed between Shift 1 and Shift 2 unless they revisited it for release,
it looks more Shift 1 that 2 to me.

never understood why the series was called test drive did you?

and... who said anything about cops or customizing cars?
both were pretty shit in most test drive games to be honest, although technically present.

Have *you*?

Cops have been present in all TD games and quite frankly, the best TD game is still TD3 - that also happens to be the only one (excluding TDU + TDU:Sims Edition) where you can "Test Drive lol wut"

The rest are all completely fixed tracks, complete with invisible borders and everything. So the fact that this one is on a track rather than off-track makes all the difference? Even if we only got Nordschleife, I'll take it, beats the hell out of any imaginary fucking city track.

And then there's TDU, which was somewhat enjoyable due to its open nature and nice setting, but its driving model was still complete shit. TDU: Sims Edition is just not even worth talking about Neutral

TDU + TDU2 were the only test drive games ever worth playing imo.

and yeah i admit, the ancient ones back in the days of the original playstation, open world wasn't feasible back then really without shit graphics, but damn, why do they always have to do a complete 180 with a sequel to a well established series?

test drive games that were on track only have always sucked, you can call it "sims" if you want and frankly i agree but it was still much more fun to drive around and explore the world and just generally more fun than the rest of the series combined, also.

how many years do we have to wait for an open world racing game that's worth playing?

What exactly is the "established series"? Because TDU is a spin-off of TD, notice It's not TD7: Unlimited. Likewise, this is not TD7: Ferrari.

I bet you also argue how NFS is an established series of Underground yo yo yo "turrum tum tum, parara ra ra ra" neon lol wut and Shift did a 180 on the established series. Laughing

For everything that TDU2 is, being fun to drive is not one of them. Some of the worst fucking driving mechanics in history right there. And yes, I'll call it the Sims Edition, because that bullshit aspect got more attention than the driving mechanics or, you know, the racing part.

You're the one who went on about "the series" - newsflash for you: the TDUs are not "the series", TDU1 is in fact #9 in "the series".

Had this been called "TDU: Ferrari" - then you would've been right. TDU has about as much to do with TD as the Shift games do with NFS (the past decade anyway): virtually nothing.

The "old" Test Drive games have always been poor arcades for me, even Need for Speed was more interesting.

Test Drive Unlimited changed the formula and made it more enjoyable, then TDU2 ruined everything again Laughing

With this one they're bringing the tracks back, but with a more serious look (official tracks instead of fantasy ones) and probably a realistic handling..I can't say I'm not happy

Yeah, it's pretty much that. Looks great! Still, as I said before, I would have prefered if the game would have been similar to NFS: Porsche.

i liked both actually, they would have been immeasurably better if they had free roaming though, isn't that obvious?

i honestly can't think of a single racing game in all of history that is or would be worse with free roaming, can you?

serious question, if you can think of one i need a good laugh anyway.
