Grand Raid Offroad will be the first Rally Game MMO for the Xbox 360 and I'm pretty sure it is the first ever of it's kind. Supporting up to 1000-2000 players on it's servers, it's amazing what you can pull off with only 9 artists and 7 developers.
Thanks to our friends at Xbox360area.fr who wrote this quick piece of information for us.
Grand Raid Offroad
Features:
Huge Environments: 3500 square miles of surface.
Drive everywhere and anywhere.
Animals and habitations bring the maps to life.
The weather will also be variable.
The cars: They are 4x4 vehicles hungry for open terrain. Some car brands have proposed to let them model their own cars. It will be possible to change specifications of the vehicles, giving them more speed, more boost, fine turning and so on. All these modifications will help make your car the best for any type of road or terrain.
Car damage is present but not to the point where they make this effect the car in a big way. The developers chose to steer away from making the game become a "destruction derby" type game. Grand Raid Offroad is based on orientation.
There will be a single player campaign as well as classical multiplayer.
Online mode: Grand Raid Offroad will be the first Rally Game MMO!
With 1000/2000 players on servers.
On these huge maps, there will be many competitions and many minigames like in GTA games. Like in all RPG or MMORPG, in Grand raid Offroad, the participants will begin with cars in the same class and players will be able to progressively specialize them which will encourage the players to create stables (equivalent to the guilds of RPGs).
About Asobo:
Asobo is composed by: 9 artists and 7 developers and was founded in 2002 by Sébastien Wloch et David Dedeine (former members of Kalisto another studio of Bordeaux. Past games developed include: Super Farm, Sitting Duck, The Mummy and CT Special Force. Asobo also uses their own engine appropriately dubbed the "ASOBO Creative Engine" (ACE) to develop all their projects.

I'm speculative on how fun this game will actually be. When i play offroad games, I normally like to mess around by ramping and so forth. I don't even care about the players. It's a cool idea, but I don't know if multiplayer will be very meaningful. It matters how fun the interaction and how competetive the multiplayer games are. Not sure what to think of it yet.

Aww.....it wouldve been more fun that way, but instead its trying to showing off. But doesnt having damaged cars in HD make a better show than non-damaged cars ? Oh wait, thats what Burnout Revenge is for, And I plan to get that game for Xbox360 btw. |
