RACE 2016, is a racing simulation game developed and published by United Gaming. The game features multiple disciplines of racing such as Open-Wheel, American Stock Car, Rally, and more. RACE 2016 will feature both single and multiplayer modes as well as an in-depth career mode. This is also the first game in the all new RACE franchise. Currently, the game will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Wii U, and PC as well as Steam.
RACE 2016 began development under RACE 2014 in the Summer of 2014. It was ultimately delayed until 2016 due to development of other games already taking place however all the contents and ideas of the original will be implemented in the now late 2016 release of the simulation. The only changes is additional content as well as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 ports being canceled.
Gameplay[]
RACE 2016 allows players to take control of various cars across multiple disciplines. The game offers both single player and multiplayer experiences as well as a very detailed and in-depth career mode. RACE 2016 also allows for both Simulation and Arcade styles of racing as well as the ability to tune and customize each car. Each car features its own unique physics engine and a highly detailed damage system which can be altered to suit the players needs. Racing assists such as automatic shifting and stability control are offered but not required. While racing, players have various cameras to choose from including third-person views and three different cockpit views. DLC and Mod Support (Mods exclusive to PC Versions only) will be offered at launch and the developers will continue to support the game for may years, even with the release of future installements. Graphics will utilize the Race V2 Engine while sound will have the SoundtraX V2 system.
Disciplines[]
RACE 2016 allows players to choose from a variety of racing disciplines. During the career mode, players will move up the ranks and will have to choose early on whether to follow a Stock Car, Open-Wheel, Drag, Rally, Dirt or Endurance career. Street and Drifting can be done at any time but may have risks that could cut the player's career short.
Rather than just having a progressive career mode, RACE 2016 allows the players to have choices that will effect their career in one way or another. This was done to make the sim feel less linear and give the driver a chance to take some risks to earn even larger rewards. This comes in the form of street and drift events, which take place on the streets and are illegal activities. If the driver is caught, depending on what offenses they caused during their run, they can have their career cut short in either the form of a jail time (which will also make it difficult to land future sponsors and teams upon your return) or can end your career as a whole.
Though licensed manufactures are present, liveries are all custom and/or fictional. The driver can download user created vinyls, liveries, and more from the in-game download hub.
