Pro Cycling Manager/Tour De France 2010: The First Images!
Cyanide and Focus Home Interactive are extremely pleased to reveal the very first images of Pro Cycling Manager/Tour de France 2010. These images illustrate the incredible improvements added to this ever-more popular sports game series.
Benefiting from a new, more beautiful and more powerful graphics engine, Pro Cycling Manager/Tour de France 2010 marks one of the most important steps since the launch of the series.
The hundreds of races are more beautiful and immersive than ever thanks to many new improvements added to the environments such as high-resolution photo-realistic textures, new handling of the flora (which is now lusher than before), reworked ambient lighting, gigantic environments, and more. The game offers an unprecedented experience to all cycling fans!
Many other exciting additions are also coming in the 2010 version of the game, such as a whole new Season mode, which lets you create and customize your own competitions: choice of teams, legs/races, the draft, etc. The game also features many new challenges in the form of performances and historic records to beat, that will fulfill all challenge-thirsty players' desires!
Last but not least, creative minds will be delighted to know that they have not been forgotten, as the game also includes a new race editor! The powerful, efficient and accessible race editor allows the creation of a huge variety of new and extremely detailed races where you can control every element from weather to the ambient setting and the curves of the roads. The topographic tool included in the editor even allows players to create races in real locations throughout the world!
