AUTOMOBILISTA Motorsports Simulator is coming to Steam on Q1 2016

[Renato Simioni]

Successor of Stock Car Extreme, new racing simulator by Reiza Studios will be free to all current owners of SCE

AUTOMOBILISTA puts you in the driving seat of an advanced racing simulator to deliver a uniquely diverse motorsports experience!

As the natural successor to Reiza Studios´ previous title - the highly regarded Stock Car Extreme, originally released in 2013 - AUTOMOBILISTA continues to simulate premium Brazilian racing series such as Stock Car V8, Copa Petrobras de Marcas, Formula 3 Brasil and Mitsubishi Lancer Cup, now packing every car and every track from their respective 2015 championships.

Beyond the brazilian core, AUTOMOBILISTA is extensively complemented with one of the most diverse selections or racing vehicles to be found in a racing game: only in AUTOMOBILISTA will you be able to jump from a rental kart to a 800-HP F1 car; from drifting a Rallycross Evo X to jumping ramps in a Supertruck; from mastering the driving basics in a Formula Vee to managing a full 24h race in an endurance prototype; back and forth through time with historical and modern content including a sample from several decades of Grand Prix racing - all of this and much more within a few mouse clicks. Thoroughly researched and cohesively developed for maximum simulation accuracy, AUTOMOBILISTA captures the fun only motorsports in its various forms can provide.

In addition to the content already present in Stock Car Extreme - all of which comprehensively upgraded - AUTOMOBILISTA turns it up to a new level by adding all the new cars & tracks proposed in the SimRacing Bonanza crowdfunding campaign, new simulation features such as dynamic track conditions, advanced transmission and tire modelling, substantial upgrades to physics, graphics & audio, new game modes and much more!

SPECIAL OFFER - AUTOMOBILISTA free to everyone who owns Stock Car Extreme on Steam by January 5th!

AUTOMOBILISTA is an evolution of the project presented by Reiza´s successful crowdfunding campaign in July 2015. Originally proposed as an extensive free update to Stock Car Extreme, AMS has grown further to become a completely independent release from SCE - it will however remain free to everyone who bought Stock Car Extreme up until January 5th 2016.

Therefore if you already own SCE on Steam, AUTOMOBILISTA will become immediately available to you upon release!

SCE owners who have not yet activated their copy of Stock Car Extreme on Steam should do so before January 5th 2016 by retrieving their Stock Car Extreme Steam key here, and activating it on Steam. It is not necessary to install SCE on Steam - just have it activated there to ensure your free copy of AMS. This will have no effect on your SCE installation outside Steam, where serial numbers will remain functional (owners who had previously made the switch also have had their NonSteam Serial Numbers reactivated).

Upon launch, AUTOMOBILISTA will sell for US$ 39.99 so for those who don´t yet own Stock Car Extreme, this is a special opportunity to get both SCE now and simultaneously ensure a free copy of AUTOMOBILISTA - all for the current price of Stock Car Extreme (currently selling for the special Steam holiday price of US$ 22.49 / R$ 89.99). This special offer is available only until 5th January 2016, as from January 6th 2016 onwards buying Stock Car Extreme will no longer warrant a free copy of AUTOMOBILISTA.

AUTOMOBILISTA - Motorsports Simulator will be released exclusively on the Steam platform during Q1 2016.

This thread has now become very repetitive. How hard can it be to understand the OP.

 

[Renato Simioni]

Unfortunately i am one who miss the deadline .. i bought this game from day one but just read this thread not long ago .. is there any chance i can still get the offer ??

Thanks

This is not a problem - if you managed to retrieve and activate your SCE Steam key already (be it from http://game-stockcar.com.br/steam-key/?lang=en or from our support), you will already be set for Automobilista. The deadline is strictly for new purchases.

 

[Kakha Jomardidze]

I am fan of Simulators, like DCS World or FSX, I haven't seen same realism in Sim Racing sinse NKP.

[TeSL9]

Looking forward to this masterpiece becoming a work of art, thank you reiza! ☺

Maybe this is discussed elsewhere...

I have tried very hard to like the name
AUTOMOBILISTA

I have slept on it for a few weeks and tried to get my head around it.
But alas it has not grown on me. I am of Portuguese background and the literal translation is 'motorist' maybe in Brazilian it means race driver or whatever.
Game Stock Car Extreme was a mouthful, but this is just on another level of 'say what!'
My 10 year old son a keen simmer - the new generation - packs up laughing every time he says the name...
Bouncing the new title name off several of my colleagues and mates involved in professional real life racing and they also don't get it.
I know this cannot be changed - IMO the damage is done - but what is the thinking behind such an (absurd?) unremarkable and unmarketable name for a sim?

 

[F_B]

Jeeeez, it’s just a name. Imo the content is more important.
Considering all the content the game offers (GTs, Formula cars, Stockcars) a more general meaning of the name makes more sense now. Game Stock Car was too specific.

 

[Will Mazeo]

And the Oscar for best drama actor goes to....

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

unmarketable name for a sim

Pretty sure its the opposite. It's a single word name which sticks a lot better than Game Stock Car or Stock Car Extreme or Extreme Game Car Stock or whatever variations have been used in the past few years. The new name starts with an "A" so it will be listed on the top of lists, forums, steam, blogs nav bars etc.

Automobilista might by a tad too long though but it has that same flavor for me as Forza Motorsport, Gran Turismo or Assetto Corsa. Apart from Gran Turismo which really is an excellent motorsport brand name from the start Forza sounded more like a football game to me at first and not to mention Project Gotham Racing, which I always thought was some kind of Batman racing game until I played it over at a friend.. But when time goes by these names now stick as recognizable brands.

Automobilista will do the same unless it gets changed again in the next game which I hope not.

One thing we can all agree on I think is that Stock Car Extreme didn't make any sense as a game name the moment more vehicles other than the Brazilian V8's were added.

 

[Peevee88]

Hey I am in - love the content, love the sim like all the GSCE diehards - just don't think the new name is going to do much to attract new blood. I am probably wrong - usually am!
Agreed the whole Game Stock Car Extreme was a mouthful and hardly descriptive of the full mix of content, but AUTOMOBILISTA...
Anyway the reason I mention this is that today in the media centre we were shooting the breeze with several journos and race drivers about sim racing and when I mentioned AUTOMOBILISTA as a very good sim for the near future there was pure derision from the group - conversation went from serious to hilarious. Why does the name evoke immense laughter to the unacquainted?

When it comes to branding, it's all in the name mate...

 

[Will Mazeo]

Well first time I heard "Assetto Corsa" I thought this

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If Reiza market this right people will remember, especially as it starts with "Auto"

 

[Óscar Melero]

Automobilista is pretty cool to me.
To the people who know, downloaded and played Copa Petrobras de Marcas, go and tell them that a new sim is released and it's called Automobilista. They will instantly ask you:
"By Reiza?"

The name indeed reminds me of Reiza Studios and its subtitle "motorsport simulator" explains itself.
In fact, "Automobilista" will remind of simracing to people from Europe and regions of EE.UU where Spanish is reasonable extended.

And, as some said before me, it's a name like Gran Turismo or Assetto Corsa. Personally, I could make a fast ranking of, IMO, "simracing game names which reflect better its content and essence instantly":

1º Gran Turismo (the name explains itself)
2º Automobilista (its latin name explains itself, also it is sorry not being an english/german word)
3º Raceroom Racing Experience (so dificult to tell the genre of this game... trading card game?)
4º Formula Truck / Euro Truck Simulator (oh! there's a truck in the title! so there must be trucks!)
5º Forza Motorsport (strong motorsports...? no clue of italian, but it gots motorsports in it so i get it)
6º Stock Car Extreme (stock car? wait, so it gots nascar cars? [no] and why is it... EXXXTRRREEEME?) (matt style)
7º Assetto Corsa (wh-what?)


8º Automodellista (barbie fashion designer? i don't know, maybe i'm wrong)


Anyway Reiza, the name is cool for me, good job.

Who needs promo when you guys just talk about the name for weeks

Lol. As if any other sim out there has a brilliant name. At least you know this is a motorsport game - and yes Motorsports Simulator is part of the name.

rFactor? What? Is that tractor racing?
Project CARS is pretty much the least imaginative title ever
Next Car Game?
Raceroom Racing Experience?

I just don't see the big deal, it's a singular name and a lot better than GSCE that is for sure.

 

[P*Funk]

AMS, SCE, doesn't matter because the only name I really care about is Reiza.

 

[Peevee88]

Who needs promo when you guys just talk about the name for weeks

Maybe that was the objective

 

[Minuseven]

Next Car Game was renamed to Wreckfest, FYI.

I can't wait to drive the Formula V10, and to skin it with the template you guys hopefully release! Skinning the Formula Extreme was a joy.

 

[Kevin Knorpp]

Exactly. Too bad they didn't just call it "Reiza Badass Sim Racing"

AMS, SCE, doesn't matter because the only name I really care about is Reiza.
