Ride probably hasn't had the smoothest of launches in Milestone's history. It's suffered a few delays before its final release last week, but disgruntled Xbox One owners still have to wait an extra two weeks until they can be let loose in Ride. And then the PS4 version was released the same day as Bloodborne, […]

Remember those screenshots of buggies featured in DriveClub that surfaced last week? Further evidence has surfaced suggesting that it wasn't a hoax in the form of a gameplay video.  It's not clear how the gameplay video has leaked, but it does confirm the identity of the buggie as the Wombat Typhoon, which Motorstorm fans will […]

Slightly Mad Studios has announced that players can look forward to a free car in Project CARS every month, as a thank you for their patience in awaiting the game's release following its delay until May. The first free car available in May will be the ludicrously luxurious Lykan Hypersport from W Motors, which is […]

The much anticipated Lamborghini Expansion Pack has launched in DriveClub, adding four exquisite Lambos to the ever-expanding roster, as the manufacturer makes its debut in the PS4 exclusive racer.   You can now tear around in the Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4, Veneno, Aventador LP 720-4 50° Anniversario and Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse.  Likie with the majority of cars […]

Today was release day for Milestone's bike racing IP Ride on PS4, PS3 and PC, but what about Xbox One and Xbox 360 users? Many of you have been asking about the whereabouts of Ride on Microsoft' consoles, but now Milestone have confirmed a new release date. Xbox One and Xbox 360 users will have […]

Turns out F1 2015 wasn't the only major racing game announcement today. With all the buzz surrounding Milestone's new bike racing IP Ride and their forthcoming rally IP Sebastien Loeb Rally, some have been left wondering if this new-found focus on unique ips was an indication that the Italian developer was abandoning licensed motorsports games […]

Our exclusive tour of Ride's fictional circuits continues with a look at the picturesque French Riviera, a fast-flowing circuit peppered with long straights, high speed corners and sudden hairpins to catch you out.    From my hands-on, this was arguably Ride's standout circuit. Like the Japan track, Milestone's depiction of the French riviera looks authentic, […]

DriveClub developers Evolution Studios, previously known for the PS2 WRC series and MotorStorm PS3 series, face further setbacks since the well-publicised DriveClub launch issues, as redundancies have reportedly hit the renowned racing studio.

It's been a very long time in coming, but everyone's favourite pedestrian splattering simulator is about to make a long overdue comeback, with the final release of Carmageddon Reincarnation.

It's currently only available in European territories and weighs in at a whopping 4.7gb.  Alan also jumped on the demo for a quick play-through to see how Ride has […]

You might not know it, but DriveClub represents something of a departure for Evolution. Back when the PS3 was in its infancy, the studio was better known their launch title MotorStorm, a madcap off-road racer that pitted just about every class of vehicle you an imagine against each other, from rally cars and bikes, to […]

The 3DS hasn't exactly been overrun with new racing titles lately. Nintendo's answer? Re-release some old timless classics classics. First up is a new port of the original Out Run in the form of 3D Out Run, now available on Nintendo's eShop. Except it isn't new at all, really. And I'm not just alluding to […]

DriveClub's v1.12 has deployed, bringing with it a host of new note-worthy additions to Evolution's ever-expanding PS4 racer. Chief new feature is of course the addition of replays – a belated feature that should be standard in most racing games, perhaps, but it does allow you to marvel at DriveClub's graphical prowess from a whole […]

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Evolution's post-release support of DriveClub has been nothing short of exemplary. At one point the game was close to being a write-off, but subsequent updates have slowly restored it into one of the most compulsive racing games in recent memory. Each month has seen a truckload […]

PC players were left disappointed when Sebastien Loeb Rally was first announced last year: while Milestone's new rally IP was slated for PS4 and Xbox One, it appeared the developers had no plans to release it on the optimum platform. A matter of timing meant that MotoGP '14 couldn't be released for Xbox One, so […]

Rumours have been rife this week that Milestone's new bike IP Ride will miss its target release date next week. However, we can now confirm that the rumours were right: originally set to launch off the line on March 20th next week, Milestone have now confirmed that Ride has been delayed by one week, with […]

Of all the requested missing manufacturers in DriveClub, Lamborghini has to be near the top. After-all, leaving out Lamborghini in a game designed to showcase some of the world's most exotic supercars seemed criminal when the likes of Ferrari, Aston Martin and McLaren were all represented. Mercifully, the Lambo-shaped void is about to be filled, […]

News on Milestone's Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo has been thin on the ground since its unveil late last year, which comes as little surprise since Milestone are currently preoccupied with premoting Ride.

The PS4 isn't exactly overrun with casual digital racers, which is a shame because the PSN is an ideal distribution platform, especially when you consider Sony's strong support for indie developers. The timing couldn't be better for the aptly titled Beach Buggy Racing to carve its name in the sand, with a release planned for […]

Ten years after its original PC release, rFactor has finally sped onto Steam.

This week saw the release of yet another new free track in DriveClub with the winding Kobago circuit set in Japan. So I thought I'd take the opportunity to take the exquisite Enzo Ferrari, part of the recent Apex car pack DLC and one of TeamVVV's most fabled Ferraris, out for a spin to test it. […]

Much has been made of Project CARS' perpetual prettiness, diverse car roster and sophisticated simulation physics, but its comprehensive career mode is just as worthy of your attention.

Another trailer has surfaced for Milestone's upcoming new IP Ride, showcasing the rural Sportsland Sugo track in Japan. The Yamaha-owned track spans 2.1 million meters and comes in four variations: a road racing course, a motocross course, West course and a trials course. What's significant here, however, is that the trailer provides a belated first official preview […]
