Short summary:

- The game is called Test Drive: Ferrari
- It's made by Slightly Mad Studios (makers of NFS SHIFT 1/2)
- It will be released March 30, 2012.
- It will be available on PS3™/Xbox360™/PC.

Judging by the time the physics have been in development they better be than real life.

I'm pretty sure Scawen is trying to do the best physics of all time and I'm pretty sure they are already better than EVERY other game out there and the road to perfection, as ShannonN said, is infinite.

I had to spend the 14€ I had reserved for S3 since it was announced on C.A.R.S. because I got tired of waiting and because I like their "open" model of development.

Soon it will be 1 year since last Tyre Physics progress report and 3 years since they started working on them. Hoping for another report.

Just bought the Junior pack, the game is pretty cool but still at very early stages (obviously). Cant wait for MP.

The Scirocco is a lie.

Quote from Nadeo4441 :

I bet it's Miami (alias vice city)

You're about to lose the bet

Quote from lukelfs :

Yeah it's confirmed to be LA

6 Days to go

No it's not, it's still all rumours and speculation. It can be LV or whole San Andreas, we will see.

Do I need to be a Team Member to get my money back when the game is released or I can still do with Junior?

Quote from XCNuse :

For those on the forum, sure you could say something like that.

For those who have passed the website and never the forums.. I would call it dead.


Previous posts on the main page:
June 17, 2011 - progress report
(The one from January doesn't count in my opinion.. it was looking back over half a decade ago, that isn't progress...)
December 24, 2010 - progress report
February 17, 2010 (not an update; just stating the server moved)
November 28, 2009 - LFS now has self updating installer.. (that was actually a nice update)

The last 'real' update we saw was from December 2008 when they announced the Scirocco coming to LFS.. let alone we never saw any pictures or anything until August 2009.


Sure LFS is taking its time.

No twitter, no facebook, just a website and a forum, and some junkies that touch the game every once in a while... who got the game in middle school, and have now graduated from college and have a full time job.

I'm not bashing, but for a game as superior as this.. and as far into development as this is.. a "real" update every once in a while would be nice.

The devs are on the forums more than a few times a month, probably several times a week looking at what bugs people are having etc.
If they have enough time to respond to some people's questions, Victor can certainly take a 5 minute coffee break once a month to show a cutesy teaser shot of a tire or something and write a few sentences.

The little things.. go a very long way.

So true, when I discovered this game (around 2005) I was a young boy and now I have a driving licence and a car. Time passes so fast...


On topic, I agree with everything he said. I think it's time for the a bit of a change of development style. I'm not saying videos of physics or anything because a lot can change, but maybe announce another S3 content. The "secret development" of everything just doesn't work and makes the game look dead.

Quote from R3DMAN :

i see so were all still assuming there is development work being done atm..

scawen, it would be nice to hear from you (i doubt he will read that lol)

Devs do read the forums.

I've heard pretty bad opinions about this game.

You better get that off your head or you will have it for a lot of time

Quote from anarchypredator :

what is that?

It is one of Scawen's progress reports translated into spanish and some pictures of mods.

Quote from bunder9999 :

if s3 is ready for all these game conventions we've seen it at in the past, i don't see why it's not ready for us. but that's just me.

The only S3 content we've seen is Rockingham. VWS is S1.

NO! Please I want to play the game before 2050, requests after physics are released

Probably nothing this year. (although we got update)

Looking forward to play LFS's new physics in early 2012. Hopefully they'll be the best ones out there.

Quote from PMD9409 :

Stop ruining my fun! I still don't know the exact text, but anyways, I don't even realize text is there.

Oh and, Scawen, where are youuuuuuu?

He's working hard on the physics. :shhh:

My biggest fear is that the new LFS physics end up like iRacing. . But I trust Scawen so we'll see

Seems pretty fun, I'll pass by!

Desire S obviously.

Nordschleife would be epic, I'd play that 'till my G25 burns.

Quote from PMD9409 :

She's backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

I want to shoot me in the head.
