Atari have now closed the Lyon-based studio.
One year ago today in North America, Eden Games took what was once a mobile game, and made it into a console port, just for the Nintendo Switch and next month, they’re releasing its sequel! To celebrate the release, this is our Gear.Club Unlimited 2 interview!
Will keep an eye to see how this turns out considering they've developed it properly for Switch and this one isnt just a mobile port. Could be good.
I didn't get the first one since there was no online play and for racing games and for its longevity I feel a game like this needs some multiplayer. It sounds like there will be in the sequel so I might just buy this. I look forward to seeing the reviews, hopefully positive.
GS: "Gear.Club Unlimited, developed by Eden Games and published by Microïds, is to be released on December 1st on Nintendo Switch."
Maybe it's just me, but there's a certainly flatness/blandness to the design and graphics that makes this look like a mobile game. Eden's done good work in the past, loved Test Drive Unlimited, but there's a certain low quality feel to this that I just can't shake.
Eh, we'll see how it goes when it's released.
NE: "Microïds today published a new trailer for Gear.Club Unlimited, its racer lined up for Switch. The video reconfirms a launch window of Q4 2017. Microïds says Gear.Club Unlimited is “a genuinely realistic racing experience where you take the most incredible cars through breath-taking environments."
Looks pretty dry and generic to me. Also, graphics are hardly anything to write home about despite what other commentors may think. Cars are pretty standard quality and the environment I saw looked a bit "cartoonish".
Seems like a typical, "Our console needs that semi-serious racing game STAT!" type of game.
