Video Game COMING SOON?

Question

So i went to www.indycar.com as usual to check things out and i saw the poll and i see out of the corner of my eye Playstation 3. Im a video game NUT and when i say i love video games i absolutely love them. So i obviously looked (I also own a PS3) so i naturally looked. Heres the poll:

Which gaming system do you currently own and prefer most?

Sony Playstation 3

28%

Xbox 360

26%

Sony Playstation 2

24%

Nintendo Wii

18%

Xbox

4%

I mean come on thats a BIG clue that maybe they are thinking of a game? I was saying that next year is the perfect year for an IRL video game.

What do you think about this? Would you buy?

BTW If its true that there is one coming im going right now to eb games to reserve my copy!!

Answer 1

I thought that they just recently released a "classic" Indy 500 edition game for the Wii and DS, but it didn't really look that stellar.  Hopefully they will release a game that is up to par with the other racing sims, and not like the mediocre IndyCar Series game in 2003.

Answer 2

That was my first thought too.  We may be second-guessing, but I'd put a couple of bucks on it.

I don't play video games, so won't likely buy it.  (That's only 'cause I'm way over the game-playing age-bracket. LOL)  I'm sure there's lots who will, though!

Answer 3

Okay, here's what I know from a friend who works at IndyCar HQ.  

They are coming out with a new IndyCar game.

It will be released sometime this winter.

They are making it for all the major platforms...PS3, 360, PS2, Wii & XBox.  

It will have "historical" tracks and cars, as well as historical scenarios such as the 1982 dash to the finish, etc.  Pretty cool!

The reason they're asking is because they are fronting a lot of money to the game publisher and they want to know which game systems the bulk of the demand for the game is going to come from, so more development dollars go for those.

Answer 4

I would buy it in a heartbeat, if I find anything out, you will be the first I tell.
