Auto Club Revolution Revealed, new driving MMO




a PC massively multiplayer world centered around not only racing, but car culture; Eutechnyx North America director Todd Eckert tells Gamasutra it's aiming to create "a driving-centered community."

Through partnerships with some of the world's major car brands, the company hopes to be able to offer car enthusiasts the opportunity to engage on a deeper and more realistic level with their hobby, while remaining accessible to anyone who might like racing play.


Quote from the article:
It's a "collaboration" between Eutechnyx and the vehicle brands that will appear in the game, and neither side sees it as advertising. "If you had a music-themed game that gave the kind of information that we're giving about cars... if you really care about music it's not advertising, because it's interesting; it's insight," Eckert suggests.

Auto Club Revolution will work on a free-to-play model supported by microtransactions -- "Even the starter cars are licensed cars," Eckert says. "And if you want to kind of move your way up... and buy bigger more involved cars they cost you on a per-car basis."
