Vehicles are built using fully simulated physics, with future technologies fitted; Micro-Fusion reaction, Power Cells, ERS.
Ultra fast 1,000 Mph / 1,600 Kph speeds are achieved using live fly-by-wire & adaptive vehicle set-up - The vehicle progressively changes spoilers, downforce, spring length, compression, etc based on speed and track position - combined with future power technologies.
**You don't like our fly-by-wire tuning?
Cool. You can tune the vehicle at all speeds to make it do whatever you want.
Not just a fast physics game - We've added new strategy racing mechanics never seen in racing games:
Track capture: Four sectors per lap. Fastest sector times can affect resources or abilities for you, and/or your opponents.
Resource collection: Electricity and plasma are collected mid race, and are spent to upgrade your vehicle live, or given to team members, or spent to upgrade track sectors, or spent on 'track abilities' to assist you, or your team, or to stop your opponents.
Mid-race vehicle upgrades: Engine power, Booster output and burn-rate, ERS efficiency, and Capacitor storage. Upgrades done in race time, to achieve the highest speeds.
Track abilities: Track 'area based' effects that can give speed ups or energy to you and your team, or slow and steal energy from opponents.
**You don't like our strategy/resource design?
Cool. You can use our integrated in-game 'Race Builder' to create any kind of racing strategy and design that you like.
Our adaptive vehicle set up made it possible for the vehicle to drive upside down, by using downforce to stick the vehicle to the track - If your vehicle is going fast enough.
And so we built Future-Racer-like 360 degree tracks to make the most of it - But don't be fooled by the visuals. This is far from an arcade physics on-rails racer. Very far from it.
**You don't like our tracks? Cool.
You can use our in-game track builder to make whatever track you like, and instantly share it with every player - Available right in the main menu - No addon, download, patch, or whatever, necessary.
How is this technically possible?
It wasn't. So we built an engine to do it.
Extremely high frame rates and super high physics sample rates = a silky smooth physics handling experience at insanely high speeds.
*We used our engine to build a physics based driver training program called 'My Drive School' that's won simulation education awards and is used in schools.
'22 Racing Series' is currently available as an early-access game.
We're an independent team, without any investor or publisher backing.
If you like getting into new games early and like to give feedback on the direction of a game's development, then cool.
If you prefer final feature complete release games, then this isn't currently for you.
VR Support:
As backers of Oculus' Kickstarter campaign in 2013, and receiving their first ever DK1 dev kit, we've had a long history with VR support ...
That said. VR was never our primary focus. We just had fun playing with new tech - But a lot of feedback online and in person at game shows has praised the VR experience in 22RS.
But we haven't played enough other games in VR to say ourselves for sure.
So yeah. If you're into VR and racing, then you might like to give this a try - And if you do, then you can perhaps let us know for yourselves whether it's any good in VR, or not.
