Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown unveils The Collector, a brand-new trailer for those with a love for fine cars, who dream of building their own collection. The latest trailer in our series presenting the different driving experiences (following on from The Cruiser, The Racer & The Explorer), it features several models from the prestigious Italian brand Ferrari, all available in the game, and illustrates the players’ passion for these exceptional vehicles.

Car collecting – much more than a passion

These cars are prized by collectors both for the joy of driving them, and for the joy of admiring them. In TDUSC, each player has their own physical garage for storing their various hard-earned acquisitions from their adventures on Hong Kong Island.

Ferrari: bringing together quality, speed and elegance

Since its creation in 1947, the famous Italian brand Ferrari has carved out a place for itself in the luxury and high-performance automotive sector as a symbol of performance, prestige and elegance thanks to its iconic cars. TDUSC showcases these exceptional speedsters, with ten models available, including:

  • The legendary 250 GTO (1962), a perfect blend of performance and design, which sums up the Ferrari philosophy in a single car

  • The 308 GTS (1977), a cabriolet which occupies a special place in the heart of many of the brand’s devotees

  • The F40 (1987), the most iconic Ferrari supercar of all time celebrating the brand’s 40th anniversary

  • The Enzo Ferrari (2002), a genuine expression of cutting-edge Formula 1 know-how and technologies from the early 2000s

  • The 812 Superfast (2017), one of the highest expressions of Ferrari’s most traditional car layout – the naturally-aspirated front-engined V12 berlinetta

To acquire one of these vehicles, players can drop into a car dealership dedicated to the brand and give them a spin, thanks to the Test Drive function, before finalising their purchase.

A Physical Collector edition for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown 

The Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Physical Collector edition has been released on pre-order from today, exclusively on the NACON Gaming official site.

Prepare to be transported back to the time of the Aztecs, a Mesoamerican culture that flourished for three great centuries, dominating vast stretches of land in the area and creating a society unique in world history. It was a gifted and wise nation, rich in complex traditions and beliefs. Now, in Aztecs: The Last Sun, you will become a leader and strive to make history remember you and your people.

Following an early playable demo released last year, the development team has been working closely with the players and community to gather valuable feedback to support the direction of the game’s development journey. After many months of work, Play2Chill and 663 Games are thrilled to reveal a new walkthrough video showcasing the changes to the deep city-building, survival gameplay and immersive game world.

About Aztecs: the Last Sun

Aztecs: The Last Sun is a survival city-builder set between the 13th and 16th century CE. You will take on the role of the people’s ruler, responsible for building and bringing to splendour the magnificent Tenochtitlan city-state. This amazing architectural wonder was historically located on an island in the middle of Lake Texcoco. This in itself will represent a technological and economic challenge as you will have to provide food for your people and maintain a permanent trade connection with the outside world.

The game perfectly combines three different aspects of city management, and you must take care of the economic, military and religious growth of the city-state. All features of the game have been created with great care to make the fun gameplay experience as faithful as possible from a historical perspective. Invest in culture and erect buildings, build mighty armies and make human sacrifices to the gods who will surely repay you when the hard times come.

Aztecs: The Last Sun will launch for PC via Steam in late 2024. Fans can add the game to their Wishlist now.

StarRupture – Environment Showcase Trailer

2024/07/25

Geek News, News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

StarRupture, the second title from Polish studio, Creepy Jar, may take place on a faraway planet, but the inspiration for its landscapes and harsh conditions comes from a much more familiar place! In this behind-the-scenes deep dive, Creepy Jar guides viewers through the real-world locations that are helping their team bring StarRupture to life. In a world where life needs to adapt to a constant cycle of death and rebirth, the Creepy Jar team went to one of the harshest environments on our planet—Iceland—to get a closer look at its near-prehistoric landscape to help them understand how to bring the same harsh environments to life in-game. Being built in Unreal Engine 5, StarRupture is an ambitious cross between base building, exploration, combat, and resource management on an alien planet torn by a catastrophic cycle of destruction caused by its life-giving star.

StarRupture sets itself in the story of man versus nature taking place in an otherworldly and breathtaking sci-fi environment where elemental cataclysms of extreme temperatures loom as a constant danger. The player takes up the mantle of a convict exiled from the Earth to serve their sentence by mining and expanding industrial production alongside researching new technology on a seemingly hospitable new planet rife with mystery and danger. Tasked with surviving the deadly waves of elements—not to mention facing down against hostile enemy monsters in tense combat—each cycle spells destruction yet ushers in a new era of growth and rebuilding. Played from a first-person perspective—adventuring solo or as part of an up-to-4-player group in co-op mode—players will be able to explore, adapt, mine, gather resources, and build complex machinery to survive and prosper.

Though by definition it is a base-building simulator, StarRupture is much more. The game will invite players to push beyond, to stay resilient and sharp against every assault, building and forming prior to the cycling eviscerating conditions on an otherwise beautiful planet. For fans of builders, management, sci-fi action, and combat StarRupture will challenge all comers to utilize the technology at their fingertips and weather both the extremities and fierce enemies in order to survive and create a prosperous industrial complex.
