Lotus Challenge Delayed News

Virgin Interactive today announced that it's PS2 racer; Lotus Challenge, will be delayed until November 9th. <br /> <br /> The game was originally due in September, but has been slightly delayed so the games developers can enhance the game from comments made by the press and public. <br /> <br /> Perhaps the most noticeable improvement is with the control method, which <br /> has been refined to ensure each Lotus handles much more responsively. The additional development time has been used to improve the computer racers’ artificial intelligence, to make for even more thrilling races. Finally, <br /> camera angles have been tweaked to offer an increased sensation of speed. <br /> <br /> “We’ve been keen to work hand-in-hand with the press and public throughout Lotus Challenge’s development,” says Roy Campbell, General Manager, Virgin Interactive UK, “which is why we have delayed the release. These additional two months will allow us to fully realise the potential of the Lotus name with one of most comprehensive and exhilarating racing games on PlayStation 2. <br /> <br /> “Particularly, these changes address concerns highlighted by those <br /> magazines which have looked at early review code. We’re confident that the new and improved Lotus Challenge will be even more favourably received.” <br />
