GamesIndustry.biz writes: "The past couple of years have seen a spate of high profile UK-based racing games developers being bought out by larger studios and publishers. Eutechnyx is one of the last remaining independent studios - with its anticipated title Ferrari Challenge set to come out for the PlayStation 3 shortly.
GamesIndustry.biz sat down with Eutechnyx's co-owner and director of business development Darren Jobling, and director of North America Todd Eckert, at the GameHorizon conference to discuss the challenges facing independent studios, the future of the games industry and the studio's upcoming casual MMO.
Q: What's the biggest challenge you are facing at the moment?
Darren Jobling: I think the biggest issue is maximising potential. If you think about it in terms of independent games development - I think Eutechnyx is currently the only independent driving game developer that's got a multi-format next-gen engine.
So I think our biggest issue is selecting the right projects that we want to work on because we've only got a certain limited capacity and it's making sure that we make the right choices."
GamesRadar writes: "System 3 is rewarding existing owners of Ferrari Challenge on PS3 by reducing the cost of its sequel, Ferrari: The Race Experience for its release on PSN tomorrow. It's not a massive reduction in price, as fans get it for £9.99 instead of £11.99, but a lot of companies would do well to follow their example."
Sounds like a great idea, doesnt have to be a huge difference but anything is always appreciated. Only issue i see with this is that you can only really do this with DLC type games that are tied to an account.
yeah i'm surprised companies haven't done so, like even a 5 dollar discount if you got last year madden (With access code or something) or last year call of duty.
lol i dont know whats happening with this game, first its release date was 29/09, then delayed by 1 week and today its still not released
Er yes it fella. Its been on since I got home from work. (UK Resident) Theres even a trial version for ps plus subscribers.
