Cyanide Studio today unveiled the very first video for Pro Cycling Manager: Tour de France 2011, their popular PC cycling simulator. This trailer shows off the extraordinary graphical evolution of the franchise, both in terms of the environments and the riders themselves.
The in-game riders now reflect the height, stature and riding style of their real-life counterparts, making Pro Cycling Manager 2011 the most realistic racing simulator on the market. The bikes have also been adapted to the new cyclists, offering a large selection of customizable frames and wheels. All these major changes mean an even more realistic gaming experience!
The 150 competitions and over 500 stages are now more detailed and varied thanks to vivid new scenery, roads, and landscapes. Discover all these enhancements in the video teaser!
Blending team management and sports simulation, lead one of the official teams through the 2011 cycling season. From sponsors to finances, from your cyclists training to negotiation of their contracts, you have all the cards in hand to lead your team to success. Tactics will also be required during the races, where each of your decisions will be essential to win the most prestigious competitions!
Races are more realistic-looking than ever, thanks to the improved 3D engine. New cyclist models of various shapes have been designed, reflecting the real-life stature and riding style of each competitor. The environments boast more varied scenery, landscapes, and tracks than ever before.
While looks are important, the real meat of the game is still the management aspect, which is now more detailed than ever. The user interface has been streamlined for easier understanding, while still offering more precise interactions with the team’s cyclists and sponsors. Sponsorship management is richer and more in-depth, and each cyclist’s performance during a competition will directly impact their salaries and sponsors' offers. To keep things interesting, the updated AI presents fierce completion with plausible, unpredictable behavior in the pack, during breakaways, in sprints, and other highlights of the race. The fan-favorite level-editor is back, letting creative players design their dream race. It has been updated with a broad range of new scenery objects and new effects to create races with an even higher level of detail!
With a wide range of new features, tweaks and upgrades, the game still stays faithful to the spirit of the series. Pro Cycling Manager: Tour de France 2011 is sure to please cycling and sports management fans when it arrives on PC this summer.
