Automobilista n'est sans doute pas la simulation la plus mise en avant par ses développeurs. En a-t-elle besoin ? Sa réputation est déjà faite, mais lorsqu'il est question de sortir du nouveau contenu, il passe souvent inaperçu. Heureusement, nous sommes là pour vous tenir informés.
Deux nouvelles disciplines bien distinctes font leur apparition dans le jeu. La première, une série bien connue, la "Formula Truck" ayant déjà eu droit à son jeu dédié en 2013. Elle oppose des camions de plus de 1200 Cv de marques bien connues telles que Volvo, Mercedes,... La deuxième, une série de off-road basée sur des petit châssis de Volkswagen Coccinelle. La Formula Dirt est la version rallye de la Formula Vee, déjà présente dans le jeu.
Vous pouvez désormais profiter sur Steam de la version 1.15 du jeu Automobilista des studios brésiliens de Reiza.
Aussi, le "Lengend Track DLC" vous offre le tracé d'Imola dans ses versions 1972, 1988, 2001 et 2016. Ce nouvel addon est proposé sur Steam contre la somme de 5,99€ de quoi faire suivre le porte-monnaie des joueurs ayant décidé de décliner l'offre du "Season Pass" promettant des extensions jusqu'en mars 2017.
Après le "Brit Pack", les Studios Reiza continuent sur leur lancée, deux autres Packs payants sont actuellement en préparation.
Tout d'abord, ce sera un contenu en rapport avec l'histoire d'un circuit, celui d'Imola qui se verra modélisé en 4 versions différentes : 1972, 1988, 2001 et 2016.
Puis Formula Truck qui, déjà présent dans un autre titre du studio, qui trouvera place dans Automobilista.
Ils seront vendus 5,99$, le Pack Formula Truck sera cependant gratuit pour ceux qui disposent de la dernière licence du titre éponyme sur Steam.
Les Studios Reiza ont sorti, il y a quelques jours, leur premier "DLC" payant ! Le "Brit Pack" dont nous avons longuement parlé ces dernières semaines est maintenant disponible pour 19,99€. Ce Pack est cependant gratuit pour les possesseurs du " season pass".
Ce Pack comporte, comme son nom l'indique, du contenu britannique avec trois nouveaux circuits mythiques (Brands Hatch, Oulton Park et Cadwell) ainsi que quatre véhicules dont certains en plusieurs versions (Caterham, Formula trainer, MCR Sports 2000 et Ultima GTR).
De plus, Reiza profite de cette occasion pour passer Automobilista en version 1.1.
De quoi passer quelques bonnes heures de test au volant...
