Volvo – The Game by SimBin- To be Free of Charge

Published: 1, April 21, 2009

Simbin have released information relating to an upcoming game called “Volvo – The game”. They have joined forces with Volvo to develop a realistic simulator. It also gives them an opportunity to introduce the Volvo S60 Concept to a much wider target market. The players will be able to hammer this variety of Volvo cars around two highly detailed and realistic tracks.

“When Volvo Cars asked us if we were able to develop a Volvo racing game for PC, suitable for a wide
audience and including the new S60 Concept car, we picked up on the challenge straight away”
says Henrik Roos, SimBin Studios CEO. ”Especially since it was Volvo Cars located in Sweden that
was asking. Two Swedish brands joining forces sounded like a perfect match to us”.

The game comes with three difficulty levels to appeal
to a broad audience, from new comer to the experienced gamer.

The players will be able to hammer this variety of Volvo cars around two highly detailed and realistic tracks.

Expected release is 26th May 2009

SimBin considers Legal Action against Slightly Mad Studios

Published: 1, February 19, 2009

SimBin, well known for their development of the GTR series are considering legal action against Slightly Mad Studios in relation to their recent comment found on Slightly Mad Studios About page found here:

“Slightly Mad Studios” staff formed the core development team on the critically acclaimed and multiple award-winning GTR – FIA GT Racing Game, its successor GTR2, and the classic sports car racing game, GT Legends.”

There is still much talk between the companies of claims that Slightly Mad Studios had formed the “core” development while SimBin stand by their development of those listed titles. There are claims that Slightly Mad Studios have a number of staff members who were part of SimBin at the time of GTR 2 and GT legends.

While Slightly Mad Studios push for their Need for Speed Shift, their choices of words have definitely struck a bad cord with SimBin and I am sure we will be hearing more of it in the future.

These potential actions are a result of Slightly Mad Studios and EAs announcement of a cooperation where SimBin games are referred to by Slightly Mad Studios in a misleading way.
