Is it PS3 exclusive? Why should I care? Is it wowsome?
Demo next Tues, along with Haze.
-
multi, racer.

Retooled TOCA, with emphasis on exciting racing (and crashing) as opposed to car tuning shittitry. Looks fucking awesome, if you ask me. PS3/360/PC, but the demo is part of the whole Gamer's Day thing so I think it hits a few days earlier on PSN.

What is TOCA?
I thought it might be a Wipeout/FZero thing, not interested if it's yet another modern racer.
Haze demo it is.
-
TOCA is called the Race Driver series in the US, if that helps. Focus was on many disciplines of racing and an ass-load of opponents.
I loved TOCA but I'm not bitter about the changes made in creating GRID. If they can make it fun, at the end of the day that's why I play games. I'm really looking forward to it.
It's not Wipeout/Exteme G/F-Zero stuff at all.

I played a build of this 2 weeks ago with a G25. Looks like PGR crossed with Forza @ 30fps with 200% brown. Plays like PGR but tries to be Forza. It's too confused for it's own good.
Shame the ruined the Race Driver series like this.
-
I'm such a fanboy of this game, nothing can quell my enthusiasm. :lol
Thanks for the impressions though mate. :)
-
tbh i didnt get enough chance to make a real judgement and the g25 i used was poorly configured. but from what i saw it's a step back from what made it great.
-
I guess I've adopted the view that it is a completely different game, and hope that maybe the actual TOCA franchise will continue one day.
I view it as essentially playing PGR with touring cars and 20 cars on track (as far as that 1/3 of GRID is concerned anyway). The other 2 styles of racing, well, I'll wait and see what they're like.
I also hope they maybe offer DLC for the more niche things like the V8s.

Did TOCA feature tuning? The PSP one didn't as far as I know.
-
No tuning.
