Hi yapdakilla,

Could not run the game, as I am not on windows, but the visuals are great. Nice models and good rendering.
Physics could be a little bit more lively: there are little jumps visible in the video, but apart from that, looks a little bit 'on rails'.

Hi Bram,

Thx for checking out the site. We are currently testing TrackVerse on Windows but hopefully get it also on the Mac and Linux platforms in the future as part of the testing process.

Looks like terrific fun - that first car suggests that there might be shooting? Bullfrog had a race game in the mid-90's with shooting that I had a ton of fun with - somehow that image recalls that game.

@lennard: in the future there will be shooting as part of the gameplay feature which the player can opt for. .We've just updated to a new hosting server so file downloads should be much faster now.
