Here are some key features of "Wh.eelRacer":
Online or Off-line
· You can race against the computer or on-line against other players. When racing against the computer, the vehicles are limited to a maximum of six.
· Online games allow up to 12 vehicles at a time. This limit is imposed due to technical limitations in the sound system which can only handle a max of 16 sound channels. The game engine does a CPU performance test when started and will automatically downgrade the vehicle limit on slower computers.
Off-Road Racing at it's best
· Most racing games limit you to specific tracks because the vehicles are not able to handle rough terrains. Not so with WheelRacer, this game lets you ramp over hills, down valleys, do what ever it takes to get to the end first. It really is the most fun we have ever had with a racing game.
· Advanced multiplayer technology via the Torque Game Engine as used in Tribes 2
· Up to 64 players on a server. (12 vehicles, remainder will be observers )
· Observer "action camera's" give observers the feeling of being part of the game
· Multiplayer game options include: Racing and Endurance modes
· Huge maps to play on - with viewing distances up to 2KM.
· Customisable vehicle to express your individual personality
· A variety of terrain to race on, from high mountain settings to coastal regions.
· The Mission Editor lets you create your own racing circuits
· 24 driving missions supplied with the game
Observers and Action Cameras
There are various reasons why you may become an observer in the game. The main reasons include:
· Excessive vehicle damage
· Out of fuel
· Vehicle count limit reached
· But don't despair, being an observer is almost as much fun as being a driver. Observers are assigned to "action cameras" which basically go where the action is. Typically you will follow the leader and cut to any accidents as they happen. The action camera is in orbit mode allowing you to control your view of the current action.
Game Types
Currently there are two game types.
· Racing - nothing complicated - 5 laps to a win. Game duration typically 5-6 minutes per map.
· Endurance - requires some strategy - 5 laps to a win but fuel is limited so you will have to refuel at least once. Game duration typically 12 minutes per map.
· The game includes 24 maps ( driving missions )
