Superstars V8 releasing on June 26th

Speaking to Eurogamer Black Bean have revealed that Suerstars V8 Racing will be released on Xbox 360 and PS3 on June 26th for £30 and PC for "20, there is als a demo in the pipeline for a June release

Asked about why there wasn't that much news/videos/screenshots so close to launch a spokesperson said :

"You are absolutely right, this does have the hallmarks of something worrying. It is, however, simply a case of this being the first game in a franchise from a smaller publisher known for bike racing, and we wanted to ensure we released quality assets we could honestly say were from the title."
The price is quite low and whilst asked about the Price Fabio Paglianti (Senior producer for Milestone) said :

"The game has very high quality, but the licence is not so famous. So we start with a mid-price so we can show to the audience we can do a very good game, a very beautiful game, to play, to see, to watch, with a good price. Because a mid-price game with that graphics, that content is a very good game for the audience."


Superstars V8 Racing will be a "Friendly Simulation Racer" that will be easy to start with and has Driving Aids that will ban be toggled on or off anyone familiar with SBK will remember the "Orbit" Mode where you can basically look all around the Bike/Car to get a clear viewof where you are positioned.

Superstars V8 Racing will have a "Quick Race" mode for online where players can also add Bots (like Race Pro) to fill up the umbers, "It's really, really fun," he said, "it's easy to play, it's aggressive." Said Paglianti.

The AI will be no push-over, either. "The AI have the same behaviour as the human," explained Paglianti, pointing out that different drivers have different skills as well as different cars.

"It's a very good game, but we have absolute faith that in the future we can improve Superstar a lot,"
