1C Company is proud to announce the development of
Off-Road Drive - the racing simulation for PC and Xbox 360.
Off-Road Drive is the first game ever to deliver a true-to-life, off-road, extreme racing experience. Players will take part in The Russian trophy, Off-Road Trial, Thai Trophy and many other events through the worst driving conditions with a variety of natural obstacles like swamps, rocks, snow and sand.
No other game features this variety of off-road sport vehicles including tuned stock SUVs and trucks, as well as several classes of prototypes specifically built for off-road driving. The vehicles can be equipped with an assortment of special cross-country equipment and accessories including winches, low gear, differential gear locking, GPS, clinometer, altimeter, tire air pressure control, sand tracks, etc.
To re-create the unique experience of the off-road competitions in the computer game the innovational system of interactive surfaces was developed. Not only the friction level between the wheels and the ground changes depending on a surface type, but the surface itself is being affected by the passing vehicle. For example, dense mud will spread and the vehicle may bog down; a car will leave rut in a soft ground and may start skidding in it; grass will be torn out by tire treads, leaving slippery soil patches. All this helps to simulate specific (but very important for cross-country driving simulation) effects like skidding and sideslip.
