the blurb on the IGN Website (http://www.racesimcentral.net/) about
Ratbag's NEXT title beyond DTR -- the stadium dirt racing game called
"Leadfoot." I had read this before, but I'd simply dismissed the Leadfoot
title as a third-person arcade racer that I'd probably just ignore,
regardless of Ratbag's past accomplishments.
After re-reading the article, this part caught my eye:
"Gameplay will take place from the traditional first person perspective, but
a third-person view is also available."
The few screenshots that I've seen so far for Leadfoot show an arcadey
god's-eye view top-doen-type third-person perspective -- definitely NOT my
cup of tea in a driving game. The line above seems to indicate that
Leadfoot's primary mode will be a conventional first-person view
(presumably/hopefully from the driver's seat), while the third-person view
will be "available," which means to me that this will be a secondary option
not intended to be the primary playing mode.
All of a sudden, I find myself wanting to know more about Leadfoot --
anybody know of any other links with info about Leadfoot? This one may turn
out to be something worth looking into, so tell me more . . .
