Text typed by 2TUFF

News of new 3do racing game from electronic arts:

One of the best-looking games to grab Edge's attention this month was a rather beautiful 3DO Out Run homage from EA. Distinctive Software the team who originally worte Test Drive many moons ago - have been beavering away for three months on this 3D polygon driving game, provisionally titled The Need For Speed. The game allows you to choose from six of the world's most desirable cars - including a Jaguar XJ220, a Porsche 911 and a Lambourghini Diablo - and race over some gorgeously detailed texture-mapped landscapes. Even at this early stage, it's already looking fabulous, mimicking some of the qualities of Daytona and even newie Crusin' USA. Look out for a prescreen in Edge 13.
