Old Games

1. Using the programs that are available now I can make a well running racing game. Using the the hardware available for the Commodore 64.  Even with our current availability in programming i can still make a good level design for a racing game.  Using what other game companies have done

2. Test Drive (1987)
The original test drive game was released in 1987, it came out with 5 cars in the entire game.  Although it wasn't a highly remarked game it started off one of the most successful racing franchises.  The first in the franchise was a well rated game getting a 4.5 star out of 5 from dragon.  The level design in the game was only designed for tracks on open roads.  Though the game was limited by the technology of the era it still performed well for consumers, races only lasted a short amount of time due to this fact. It was also the first racing game to introduce in vehicle view though this was the only view due to the fact that they didn't want to design the exterior of the car.

 Test Drive 4 (1997)
The fourth in the test drive series, released in 1997 was the first of the series to incorporate multi-player, it was also the first to come to the next generation of consoles.  Test drive 4 had 14 car and 6 tracks, it was the first of the series to have an external view of the car, for the technology had improved enough to have an external view, though it did not have an interior view, which is what set the series apart from other franchises it still sold very well.

Test Drive Unlimited 2 (2011)
Test Drive Unlimited 2 is the 18th game in the franchise and the first to come to the PS3.  This is the first of the series to have an open world map.  It has two different locations taken from real world places, the first location is in Ibiza in Spain, and the second location is Oahu in Hawaii.  It also incorporated the features of a character where you buy clothes and other items such as houses and furniture for the houses.  Though the game was reviewed as around 7/10 by most companies, it still sold very well.

Game Idea

Game Idea

The concept that i have in mind is, a small time mechanic (who is in with the local drug ring of his town).
He meets up with the wrong kind of people and is told to leave town, with his girlfriend and his best friend, whom is also his business partner.  He needs to escape out of the country before the gangs catch up with him. Along the way he makes contact with them and the police and has to outrun the gangs and police.  His street racing past needs to come into play, even though he said to himself he will never race again after he killed his former wife in a street racing crash.  Along the way he meets up with old racing friends and unlocks modifications for his car and his girlfriend and best friends car.  While racing across Europe he needs to get to Portugal as quickly as possibly as one of his friends owns an international transport company which can get him to Jamaica, as it is one of the only countries with no extradition with Russia.

The three different characters in the game will have control over the 3 main different types of cars, for example the main character will drive tuners such as Nissan skyline and Toyota supra, and even ranging up to current models like the Toyota GT86 and Nissan GTR.  His girlfriend will drive the Muscle cars ranging from old school American Muscle and Australian Muscle such as the Dodge Challenger 1970 and the Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase III to newer muscle such as the Chevrolet Corvette C7 and the FPV FG GT.  His best friend will drive the Exotic cars such as Lamborghini and Ferrari and will range from the old Lamborghini Miura and Ferrari 275 GTB to the new hyper cars such as the Mclaren P1 and the Porsche 918 and also Mega Cars like the Koenigsegg Agera One:1.

You would start in his Garage which is on the outskirts of the town of Vladimir in Russia.
