O-Games is getting pretty brave in its efforts to take on PS3 uber-exclusive Gran Turismo 5<\/em> with its own racing sim, Superstars V8 Racing<\/em>, coming exclusively to PS3 as a $20 PSN download on October 26th. Last month the publisher released a features list<\/a> and specifically called out GT5<\/em> (among other racers) as a competitor it intends to challenge head on. Today the friendly rivalry gets even more interesting, as O-Games decided to issue a press release re-confirming Superstars V8 Racing<\/em>‘s launch date for no other reason than to rib GT5<\/em> for its latest delay.<\/p>\n

Here’s a snippet from the press release, the highlighted words emphasized by O-Games.<\/p>\n

Punctuality<\/strong>. We\u2019re doing it right. Going against today\u2019s trend in racing games of repeated delays and pushed release dates, O-Games announced today that Superstars V8 Racing<\/strong> is STILL headed exclusively to PlayStation\u00ae Network on October 26th, 2010 for $19.99. Superstars V8 Racing<\/strong> is one of the first full retail games to be exclusively released in a digital format on the PlayStation Network, and more importantly, it\u2019s the biggest and most punctual<\/strong> racing game on the platform.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Secretly, underneath all this bravado, O-Games is probably letting out a huge sigh of relief, because with GT5<\/em> no longer shipping the week after Superstars V8 Racing<\/em> the game will probably pull in more sales from starving sim racers and jilted GT<\/em> fans. Superstars V8 Racing<\/em> looks like it’ll be a great game. But come on, GT5<\/em> is GT5<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
