S.C.A.R. - Squadra Corse Alfa Romeo

Post by jemc »

Squadra Corse Alfa Romeo (SCAR) is the first “CARPG” videogame ever developed. It’s stunning racing simulation, with ultimate physics and graphics unite at classic Role Playing Game’s rules.

During his career, the driver collects experience points, thus achieving new levels, which rewards him with skill improvements and even undiscovered skills.

Choosing and driving an Alfa Romeo, players will learn and develop from the beginning all the skills an expert driver must to have.

Competitions both in race-circuits and in fast&furious street races, crossing beautiful italian locations such as Tuscany hills, and Sicilian seaside, or fighting in the streets of Milan and Florence.

SCAR is a high specialistic videogame, thought and developed as the first racing simulation product in which players can determine their career progress as in a Role Playing Game.

Once the player begins his career, he will have multiple choices for improving his skills, while his AI opponents will make the same, becoming stronger and driving as a real pro-driver of the fastest championships

SCAR redefines the genre boundary for racing games, focusing on the development of the Driver above all else. Experience and Skill-based approach. Means there’s more to the game than just driving – it’s about earning experience, winning items, and choosing and developing driving Skills as well. In SCAR palyer will be able to use the revolutionary Tiger Effect! An interactive mechanic that literally allows the Driver to reverse time for a moment, simulating a great driver’s ability to anticipate multiple possibilities at once and “see into the future”.


SCAR permits the player to:
  • Uniquely develop a driver over the course of a race career
  • Win awards, special items and increasingly competitive leagues.
  • Compete with high-skill detailed A.I. opponents
An everyday driver can learn to be a pro!

I tried the demo and got mad when it didn't detect my pedals. The physics are ho-hummery as well.

this is NOT the first CARPG, it's first the game to call itself that, but it isn't the first. I would say GT was one of the first CARPG, although its perhaps more recognised as being a driving sim....

really jemc, any driving game is similar, all have cars and tracks that make u go in continous circles, with a few corners here and there 2 make it interesting...and these carpg games are more monotonous than say NFSU2, coz u have other obstacles to deal with other than u'r opponents car....thats wat i meant :wink:

NFSU2 isn't a carpg...it all depends on the visual upgrades and some skills :roll:

i would call NFSU2 kinda of an CARPG, as its main gameplay element revolves around upgrading your avator, or your in this case, which is litrelly you.
