SuperStars V8 Racing Graphics Rival GT5's For Only $19.99

TGA Writes: While I was at E3, I made it to an appointment I had with the publisher O-Games. They had SuperStars V8 Racing on deck and I managed to get some video of the game being played and an interview with Jerry Whitehead, the Senior PR Manager. The game is developed by Milestone and I am sure glad I was able to see SuperStars V8 Racing because by the time I was done with the interview, I was completely sold on buying the game when it comes out, purely based on what I saw while I was there at the booth.

Ok, it might have something, but there is no way in hell it could RIVAL GT5.

I mean, I'm sure Forza would come closer than this game. But, no where near close to being rivalry.

[xc7x]

i find it funny that they say it rivals it with GT5 not even being out yet? maybe they meant just graphics but i wouldn't know since i haven't seen the game yet.

with link working and seeing the video,i'd say it's a good game but rivaling GT5,not sure about that? at least it cost cheap [$20] so that ya can afford this and GT5 :-)

[ShinMaster]

Not quite GT5 good

Only 4 approvals and 2 reports indeed. It was changed from pending to approved by community!?

[rockleex]

But not even close to GT5.

Gameplay? Seems like its not as much of a simulation.

[Army_of_Darkness]

I never laughed harder to a title than this one!

[GodHandDee]

Of course it rivals GT, this one has cars just like GT duh

that's what they are referring to right? RIGHT?

[MNicholas]

The road and grass textures are top notch. Everything else ... not so much.

Low polygon car models, low res reflections, and lack of dynamic lighting, etc...Is it even 60fps?

To it's credit, it does have more cars on the track.

at least for me.

nevermind; what i just said,it's working now

[Ilikegames76]

nice and really cheap. The damage modeling is good too. But I hope they tweak the camera view.

[ian72]

Looks a decent racing game for the price.

[Lord Gunchrote]

Its a decent game...no need to get excited and compare it to juggernauts like Forza and GT.

[Gago]

GT5 does and it looks better

[klado]

Does it has...

Track Editor ? and 1000+ cars? lol

[lzim]

did its takes 5 years to develop on top of an over a decade year old franchise?

[telekineticmantis]

Looks pretty good for 20 bucks, but not on GT5s level.

[lzim]

it only has to beat split second and Blur, and even then they are not MSRP 19.99

[BubbleSniper]

gameraccess grasping @ hairs!

nothing gonna be touching GT5 for while

hits confirmed

pale in comparison confirmed

PS3 It Only Does Everything

cluding Real Driving Simulator that make joke comparison like this look pathetic

an meek

meek in.

[lzim]

speaking of which, do they still have those license challenge things?

[cobraagent]

Gran Turismo games are made of the passion and love of Kaz Yamauchi. Gran Turismo games have revolutionised racing games in so many ways. GT1, GT3 and now GT5 have changed the way car enthousiasts think of gaming and gamers think of simulation SuperStars V8 is just made for money and nothing more

[N4PS3Fanboys]

I'd like to see a racing game rival Forza's GAMEPLAY. That's something even GT5 probably can't do. Or are graphics all that matter when that's really all you have to argue?

[tinybigman]

you mean the arcade feel in a supposed sim racer? sorry had to do it was too easy lol.

[HolyOrangeCows]

Obviously he means the bumper car physics that were hilariously hyped up so much.

[mrv321]

GT5 was going to include a easy mode and button where you don't have to break but then they realised it was a driving sim.

[klado]

See, when forza get track editors, talks back dude.

Few years later, xbox720 forza 6 barely matching GT5...

Troll goggle off, whatever.

Bubble snipper, that made me LMFAO, those videos a funny.

Btw, dude do NEVER compare forza 3 to GT5 after watching this... http://www.youtube.com/watc... do yourself and whoever think the same a favor.

[Spenok]

Lmao, i love all the pop-in, i noticed it when he first came out of the tunnel. Then it just got terrible.

[UnwanteDreamz]

Lets see, cars racing around a track?

Yep it has gameplay or do you think they forgot how to do that after being the leader for the last decade.

Seriously I wish you children were not allowed to use the internet.

[Dee_91]

N4PS3Fanboys was being sarcastic guys

[BubbleSniper]

lol Forza gameplay

you mean Forza anti gravity gameplay?

floating cars in

Prologue was 40usd. I bought it, I like it, but it really should have been cheaper, now that I see this..

[CobraKai]

It's kinda hard to tell without direct feed video.

[dirthurts]

Not english, but...

It actually does look pretty good. It's on pc as well, which makes me happy.

[joffa81]

Superstars V8 racing is no GT5 rival infact its pretty much scraping the barrel. its over a year old now so i dont know if its been delayed in the US, this is mis labelled as an E3 2010 video when infact its a E3 2009 interview or just he fact that bloke was trying to shift a load of old stock but either way the game is pretty old, so old it has a sequal called V8 superstars the next challange.
the person being interviewed knew very little so i will give more info.

1. V8 superstars (and its sequal) are based on a very little known racing series from europe consisting of older well known deivers that are winding down their career or drivers that could not cut it in more well known racing series.

2. it uses a licenced version of the EGO engine from codemasters which is highly modified to suit the game.

3. the cars are all V8 engined production cars that are modified to race under the V8 superstars racing rules and regs (BMW, Jaguar, Vauxhall ect)

4. it looks and plays a lot like SBK series but with cars.

to be honest the sequal is a better game but even then its still pretty avarage. you better off saving your cash and actually waiting for GT5 that buying either of the superstars V8 games.

[steviebhoy]

Did anyone notice the guy showing the game didnt know much about it(which engine it uses, how many cars/tracks etc), all in all though it looks pretty good and if its a budget title in the uk, im interested.

Dont think it will be any where near gt5 though.

Edit: Its out in the uk already lol, june 09.

[ApocalypseShadow]

a racing game to top GT5.

the tears that spill onto the monitor must really wash away the dust film on the screen.

we know that GT5 scares you,we know that it destroys other racers on just KNOWN features announced alone.

GT5 will not hurt you.embrace it and be happy.save yourselves the klinex boxes for something else WORTHY to cry over.

F12010 will rub my sweet spot I hope!!
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

But of coarse GT5 will outsell everything!!

[The_Zeitgeist]

Hat's off to them for making a decent $20 game. I hope the rest of the industry comes to their senses and starts to charge at max 35-40 for a new game.

[BBAM]

They didn't even use a high quality footage; using off-screen footage to justify it being on par with GT5 is rediculous...
A much truer title would be "SuperStars V8 Racing a great deal for $19.99"
Because this is pure flamebait

[Shadow Flare]

Im getting really sick of these poxy bots spamming the comments with their stupid shopping websites. I wish the mods would sort it out.

And no console game surpasses GT5's graphics. End of.
