STCC2 goes Euro

Looks like EA will be selling STCC2 through most of Europe. here is a news blurb from ign.com EA to Release Scandinavian Racing Game in Europe There's nothing better than playing a racer with cars we can't pronounce! February 1, 2001 Swedish game developer Digital Illusions is happy. As their previously Scandinavian-only racing title, STCC 2 has been given the go-ahead from Electronic Arts of Europe, and will soon be gracing store shelves all over the motherland sometime soon. "We firmly believe that the research and development that Digital Illusions have channeled into STCC 2 has resulted in one of the most fun & involving driving experiences around that truly help recreate the speed and excitement of the Touring Car races." commented Jason Berisford, Assistant Producer Electronic Arts. Best described as a racing simulator, STCC 2 was developed in close conjunction with Swedish Nissan driver Carl Rosenblad and will feature 9 tracks and all the drivers and teams from the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship League. No word yet on a stateside release. -- IGN -- dave henrie Free the ICR2 source code!

As far as I know the game hasn't been released yet. The PR Avault posted was released by Digital Illusions on January 26th and it didn't have a release date in it, just that the game would have an European release this year. -- Kenneth Verburg Editor-in-chief High Gear http://www.simracingnews.com

Swedish TCC. I still can't believe Americans and continental Europeans playing our bush-league series... :-) /Magnus GPLRank hcp: -40.09

I want DTCC (Dutch TCC) now! Boohoo... ;) -- Kenneth Verburg Editor-in-chief High Gear http://www.simracingnews.com

As far as I could tell from the Press release, it will be the Sweedish Touring Car Championship. Left-over BTCC touring cars. On some pretty cool Sweedish race tracks.

Maybe Davilex can develop DTCC based on the "fantasticA2 racer engine"... :-p Blues Kenneth Verburg <[email hidden]> schreef in berichtnieuws RMVe6.16577$[email hidden]...

However, I played the demo, and found the physics and AI pretty poor. Is it improved in the real game? And with the patch?
