What kind of racing game do you think of when you hear of a game calledCargasm? Is it arcade-like with strong leanings toward the kart racer genre and possibly cell-shading or is it a game where you race around actual city streets in stylish sports cars?
It’s the former for me too, but we’re both dead wrong. Candella Software and Saga Wonderworks have just announcedCargasmand it is indeed a real-world sports car racer (though they do describe it as heralding the return of the classic arcade racer.) The new game, void of real cars and licenses, is full of what they claim are the most realistic racing courses ever in videogames. This is thanks to the fact that they scanned all the courses in each area (San Francisco, Yosemite National Park, London, Mount Kilmanjaro, Egypt, Switzerland are listed) with lasers, thus making buildings, streets and even lamp posts accurate to within inches. Kinda neato if the graphics didn’t look so dull.
Cargasmwill be landing on the PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PlayStation Portable and iPhone. No release date yet, but screenshots below.
