Either 5/31 or 7/3, not sure what the right release date is.
Looks REALLY good, nice track list and a ton of great cars, even if it's only Ferrari. Trying to find a full track list, but you get a glimpse in the ISR preview.
Being SMS and having a Shift feel to it is a good thing IMO.
They say release will be consoles and pc, but I only see pre-orders for console. I plan on picking this up, pc if possible, but 360 if it ends up not coming on pc.

this is basically EA saying "EFF YOU M.S."

MS finalized a Contract to use Porsche so they made a Porsche expansion for FM4,

EA got a Deal to use Ferrari and made an entire game for just for Ferrari.

First, note that this is not EA, it's Atari. A Test Drive game, like the title used to be. It's SMS and the same engine as Shift 2, but not the game. They also mention tire degradation and even blowouts, something not in either Forza or Shift IIRC. Can't tell if there's actual night racing or just dusk (edit: confirmed, no dynamic weather or night racing). I didn't see any lights. Also a fuel gauge at various levels. I'm a little surprised ISR didn't go into more detail about that.

It's not the first all Ferrari game, just as there have been all Porsche games.
The funny thing is the number of tracks, including old layouts, for just a $50 Ferrari game. And just one BS imaginary track.
Personally, I think it's the vintage cars I'm more interested in. I see some possibilities for this, a nice game to come out of nowhere.

I assumed the same thing at first, not catching the mention of Atari. All the mention of Shift and SMS did it. The timing is pretty interesting, but the release date on this thing still seems to be up in the air, being put off since March.

This put me in the mood to try Shift 2 again. Runs great with my pc rebuild.
Interesting thing is that Ferrari isn't in that game game at all. I guess this is more like Shift 2 content, if not Forza. Odd that all of the tracks aren't in there or the night racing.
I'll keep looking around, I'd like to find more info on pitting and the tires/fuel situation.
Might watch Grand Prix to get in the mood for the older cars. thumbsup

Still can't find it for pc anywhere, just console pre-orders. Some say 7/3 for release. Hope it's next month instead.
