¿QUÉ FUE DE...

APPEAL?

La compañía Belga creadora de uno de los mejores videojuegos de la historia llamado OUTCAST se fue al garete por dificultades en la financiación cuando trataban de sacar adelante la segunda parte; "Outcast2: The lost Paradise".

¿y desde entonces?

Pues la mayoría de los componentes de Appeal fundaron una compañía llamada "Elsewhere entertainment", y se pusieron manos a la obra para desarrollar su propia tecnología (cabezones que son ellos, porque anda que no les salió el tiro por la culata con el famoso motor de Voxels de Outcast).

Ese juego, que recibía el nombre de Symbiosis, también fue cancelado porque...

Maybe "Symbiosis" won't be finished at all... But maybe that new "Big project" is even better... but read yourself what Yves has to say:The racing game is a "budget" game done for a German publisher. The unique feature of this game is that the cars are old timers. This will give a unique driving feeling to the player. About Symbiosis, the restart on the project is not planed yet. Even if there are chances that Symbiosis never see the light of the day, we will not end up as Appeal. In fact, we are starting a big game with a well known publisher. This game will be an action/adventure game that put the emphasis on spectacle and character relationships. This means that all the know-how we gained during the development of Outcast and Symbiosis will be used in this game. We think that this game will be a significant milestone in the videogame history (I hate to brag but I must admit that I am very proud of the innovations we are putting in this project).Cordially,-- Yves Grolet

... les encargaron un juego de carreras de coches de serie Budget para una distribuidora Alemana y otro proyecto de mayor embergadura para una distribuidora "muy conocida".

Del juego de carreras he descubierto lo siguiente:


FIA Historic Racing ChampionshipFound this on http://www.10tacel.de10tacel, the publisher for Elsewhere's racing game gives us a little bit new information. The official title will be "FIA Historic Racing Championship". It will be developed for PC, PocketPC, PS2 and XBOX. And surprisingly they also mention a release date: early 2005. If this is true, Elsewhere must have been working on this title since some time, otherwise they won't be able to complete it so fast.source: 10tacel partner section:Elsewhere Entertainment FIA Historic Racing ChampionshipRacing game for PC, PocketPC, PS2 and XBOXsource:

"Old" is surely not the word you'd use to describe the highly tuned racecars of the FIA GTC when you see them on the racetrack. Cars with up to 600 hp race for the best times in their class on original tires at speeds up to 250 km/h. The unbelievable "feel" of the historic racing car series is currently transmitted as a classic "racer" for XBOX, PS2 and PC, and should draw young and old to the virtual racetrack in early 2005. Thanks to karel y2k4 for informing us!
