Codemasters' TOCA franchise has gone from strength to strength in recent years. Despite some strange gameplay and feature omissions TOCA Racer Driver 2 on PC, Xbox and PS2 is a very strong game relying on features such as intelligent opponents, variety of racing and detailed car damage.
The third game in the series is currently in development and we took time to talk to the game's producer Gavin Raeburn. In this exclusive interview he reveals the level of detail in the damage model, the car handling physics and further details on multiplayer gameplay. And just how genuine were those early screenshots of realtime damage?
The screenshots are taken from the PC version, but bar the screen resolution, the different platforms are remarkably similar to each other. We can tune the detail and effects up on the PC version and are working hard improve performance so this level of detail can be maintained in the final version of the game.
