I’ve decided entirely off this one post that this game is just Melb Cup Challenge with slightly improved graphics.

Not very deep at all.

This is a guess but you also know it’s 100% true.

Yeah I know it probably won't be great but it's just a bit of wishful thinking.

hopefully someone creates Furious D (from the Simpsons)

Another shitty game made by a former Sidhe subsidary.

A cople of screen shots are available : https://ebgames.com.au/ps4-250266-Phar-Lap-Horse-Racing-Challenge-PlayStation-4 such as the one below (playing as poosibly an unlicenced Rough Habit) - colours close but not exact replica.

Well, that’s an upgrade from the PS2 graphics isn’t it?

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

tbh it has that cartoony art style you see with nintendo games

I have a copy of Melbourne cup challenge on PS2, I have a real feeling this will be a stinker like the AFL game, MCC was not the worst game ever made but you had to hold the controller to the left or the horse would run off the track. There was no story but the graphics were very good, loved the moonee valley course. I just hoped they looked at the best games previously made and got someone that is into racing to help them come up with ideas. G1 Jockey and Gallop racer were great, then they joined forces on wii, it was kind of fun trying to stand on the balance board and trying to ride with reins and using the nunchuck to whip.

There's a FB page up for the game now. 8-player online racing mode. Nice.

That'll be 2 consoles (4 players on one console connecting with another 4 on another console). Not 8 separate players on 8 consoles.

Cheers, that’s a bit s**t though. PS2 era limitations. They may as well put “With Net Play” on the front of the box.

Dust this bad boy off

 

[Cleavy]

Devo to provide the soundtrack?

 

[MMAPride Scott]

is it out yet

 

[Quivorir]

is it out yet

Literally the first line of the OP.

Details are scant at this stage despite the release coming on 22 March.

Literally the first line of the OP.

Yeah, but is it out yet?

 

[Scorsizzle]

I’m concerned that the game is realeased in 9 days and I haven’t seen any Australian courses, I thought they did have licensing to have the main tracks like the valley, flem Randwick etc. I will probably still get the game but there’s very little I’ve seen about from 3 screenshots and a 30 second trailer that showed nothing

i loved playing G1 jockey on the PS2. You wouldnt think a horse racing game could grab you but dammit i did every training session possible to get better race results

 

[Gibbsy]

Comes out this Friday. With the downloadable/shareable database of horses, it'll cool to see people create Winx etc and all the current crop of G1 horses.

Found this bit of info on a press release too

Game is up on the PS store, only $39.95 so worth a shot.

I went to school with Matt Hill, he was a couple of years older though.

I remember at school that he wanted to be a horse race caller too

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

so how s**t is it?

 

[oz1235]

I actually do not mind it. I have got Rugby League 3 or 4 and AFL Nation. This is better than those two

Harder than Melbourne Cup Challenge but enjoyable

Gallop Racer and G1 Jockey are better but have experience but this is a fantastic alternative

 

[hornetswce]

Not really doing much for me, it is a mobile game that they have put on playstation and xbox...
